"Hello" I greeted a stranger. "How can I help you, lady?"
A woman turned to me. She was very pregnant. "Maybe she felt bad and needs a water or just sit down and rest a bit?" I thought looking at her round big belly. But her face didn't show any bad health's signs, so it made me to guess even more why did she came here.
"Hello, mister Garcia," she greeted me smiling.
"Do you know me?"
"Of course!" A woman grinned. "If I wouldn't know you I wouldn't be here now!"

"Of course!" A woman grinned. "If I wouldn't know you I wouldn't be here now!"
I stared at her totally astonished still trying to smile at her. Somehow I didn't like it at all.
"What's your name, lady, if may I ask?"
"My name's Avani Gupta."
"I really don't know you, Avani..." I shook my head feeling even more puzzled.
"But I know you and know your boyfriend!" a woman grinned not hiding her sarcasm. "So where is that bastard?"
"Who?" I blinked.
"Joshua or you have another boyfriend?" Avani raised her brow looking at me as if I was some idiot.
"No..." I shook my head.
"Then call him over, mister Lucien Garcia!" She almost commanded me.
O... OK..." I nodded. "Joshua!"
Few minutes was heard only the silence.
"Joshua!" I called him over one more time. A woman grinned crossing her hands on her belly.
"I'm here, baby..." finally Joshua answered. He was already dressed up and slowly went the stairs down.
"Come, Josh... I think this lady wants to talk to you," I said looking at my boyfriend and trying to understand what's going.
Joshua was pale as a sheet of paper and tried not to look at Avani. It wasn't hard to understand that he ignores her.
"Oh, my Godness... I'll throw up soon..." Avani almost spitted her words out. "Babbyy!" She grimaced. "I guess Joshua has never told you the truth, right?"
"What the truth?" I asked feeling how my mouth dries up.
I looked at Joshua questioning and waiting for his answer. Joshua was very nervous and worried. His eyes ran if they were not finding a place in the eye-holes, it seemed like he immediately will turn and run himself away, but Joshua just stood and nervously trampled.
"What's your name, lady, if may I ask?"
"My name's Avani Gupta."

"What's the truth?! The truth is that he called me his girlfriend as he calls you his boyfriend now! The truth is that he lived in my home for about half a year! The truth is that he knocked me up, took all my money and escaped!" Avani motioned with her hands hardly holding her anger.
It was already not an anger, it was a rage.
It was already not an anger, it was a rage.
"Don't listen to her, Lucien!" Finally I heard Joshua's voice.
"Just shut up you!" Avani yelled at him agrily.
I felt how everything begins to spin in my eyes. I was shocked, mortified, speechless... and totally unbalanced. "Is that a truth?" I asked myself.
"Just shut up you!" Avani yelled at him agrily.
I felt how everything begins to spin in my eyes. I was shocked, mortified, speechless... and totally unbalanced. "Is that a truth?" I asked myself.
"Wait... I didn't escape! Why are you lying?! It's over, Avani! We broke up! Did you forget it?!" Joshua exclaimed outraged.
"You are such dickhead, Joshua..." Avani gave a deep sigh shaking her head.
"Maybe I am, but you aren't better than I!"
"You are such dickhead, Joshua..." Avani gave a deep sigh shaking her head.
"Maybe I am, but you aren't better than I!"
"Shut up!" Avani raised her voice again. "Did he tell you that he's met me in gym?!" A woman turned to me.
I shook my head silently. Does it happened that day when Joshua asked me on date? We worked out before going to the restaurant... Then I remembered how Joshua looked somewhere as if he was seeing someone and suddenly has disappeared for half hour. So... It's a true.
"He lied to me..." the thought about it made me feel very bad.

"Yeah... That's how I saw him with you, Lucien... It wasn't difficult to get your address and find your house..." Avani's voice brought me back in reality. "You are such popular couple in Newcrest!" She smirked.
"Oh, my... Why do you do that, woman?!" Joshua shouted.
"Because you are fucking liar, Joshua! You come, get what you want and leave! So somebody must stop you and I'll do that right now!" Avani slapped Joshua.
"Can you two stop it?!" I felt totally pissed off.
"Oh, my... Why do you do that, woman?!" Joshua shouted.
"Because you are fucking liar, Joshua! You come, get what you want and leave! So somebody must stop you and I'll do that right now!" Avani slapped Joshua.
"Can you two stop it?!" I felt totally pissed off.
But they didn't hear me.
"Or you go home or I go to the police and write a statement that you robbed me!" She yelled.
"I didn't rob you!"
"No?! So where is my money, Joshua?! Why don't you tell your boyfriend that you are addicted to gambling?!" Avani was ready to slap Joshua one more time.
"Or you go home or I go to the police and write a statement that you robbed me!" She yelled.
"I didn't rob you!"
"No?! So where is my money, Joshua?! Why don't you tell your boyfriend that you are addicted to gambling?!" Avani was ready to slap Joshua one more time.
I shook my head and gave a deep sigh. It was already enough of this drama to me.
"You two!... I want you find your dramas out without me and immediately leave my house! You have fifteen minutes!" I raised my voice.
It seems I said it strictly enough, because Joshua and Avani turned to me.
"You two!... I want you find your dramas out without me and immediately leave my house! You have fifteen minutes!" I raised my voice.

"Yes... You got me right, guys... Fifteen minutes, no more!" I nodded and went outside feeling how my hands and legs are shaking in anger.
