I called Shweta to my place. Shweta arrived shortly.Shweta – What happened last night? You didn’t return for a long time.Me – Let’s go to my r...om, then I will explain everythingWe both came up to my room. I locked the door. We sat on the bed.Me – Das uncle said we have to pay for the damage. His vase and a few other things were damaged.Shweta – Oh my god, is it expensive?Me – I had to pay for it last night. I couldn’t come soon.Shweta – Oh, how much did you pay?Me – Don’t worry. You will find. My sweet Ibera was constantly keeping me from screwing up this reality by reigning me in from wanting to make too many ‘changes’. Like by killing all of these newly discovered sons-a-bitches. Something about not making waves or ‘ripples’, so I couldn’t just go around changing things willy-nilly. I had to keep in mind that even though, I’d be changing things in my new ‘Future’, there could still be ripple effects that could make the old ‘Present’ much different.I felt there was a way I could. But, we have a lot of work to do because we've changed a lot from the proposal in the competition."Marie looked resigned. "You did say you didn't think they could build it as requested." Right. Schellen said so, right at the start. He wanted us to use some cheap-jack contractor to 'cut costs.'" Is that this guy, Sauter, we found out about?" Marie asked."Well he never said so, so perhaps not. And I said 'no' right away; insisting on our condition of being the prime contractor. But Rummy and I. "Tim, please come back! I'm sorry! I'm sorry for not getting you a present!" All I ever wanted from you was for you to show some kind of tenderness, or appreciation, or SOMETHING on your own that said I mattered to you more than just what I did or gave you!" I sobbed loudly, the sound of my own voice shocking me into realizing my emotions were nearly overcoming my self control."Good bye, Jennifer," I said getting in my car, slamming that door too for effect.I suppose because I had always ended.
