Chapter 46 - CARL OBSERVATION

As Shawney came nearer by the car, Torren was standing outside the car door waiting impatiently for her.

Seeing she hugs him whispering, "Thank you for coming and I am so sorry for not keeping my promise."

Watching as he shifted aside for her to take a seat, when suddenly he turns his head towards the entrance when hearing the loud speaking.

He seems angry when the taxi drives away from the entrance, and this big bulky woman was swerving herself making so much noise.

When I heard her saying, "Where is she, I am going to kill her?"

Torren just listens with this frown on his face looking on as she galivant herself, not caring who is looking on and listening to her outburst.

As I stood beside the car noticing everyone from the household came outside, standing on the veranda, as Shawney takes her seat. Wondering if they had seen Shawney when she left the house.

Everyone was just looking at her not saying a word as she continues with her bulky self making a complete fool of herself.

When this young lady said, "Mom you don't have to speak so loud, and make a show of yourself. Shawney is not home so you could stop quarreling."

"Where is she?" The woman asks, "I will teach her a lesson for misbehaving with her elders?"

No one responds to her, they just turn around and return inside leaving her still making herself a laughing stock.

As people slow down looking on as they drive past, and pedestrian just stood and keep laughing.

When Torren sits next to her stroking her hand, he seems to understand exactly how she was feeling.

Hearing him saying to her, "It will be alright."

As I look at them through the review mirror, unable to believe how calm he has become only being with her.

Earlier when Shawney didn't come he was patrolling from his room to the hall, frustrating everyone by saying, "She promises me."

Even when we came here he continues to mutter the same words. It was only when we spoke to Mitch he calms down a bit.

Now listening to them whispering to each other, as he hugs her across the shoulder, they both seem to be comforting each other.

My goodness, 'Who was that woman that drops out the taxi? Boy, she was loud and so huge shaking her self in such an unseemly manner.'

Recalling when Mitch told Torren, 'They went on the beach with his bus, but from what I observed Shawney was driving his bus.

I know I see right, I now understand she couldn't come as she had promised, they are her family and needed her.'

When Mitch came to the car saying, 'His Aunt insisted for him to get some medication, that's why he returned home late, searching all over for it and when he did return they had left.'

Looking at them once more Torren seems so relieved and relax now, at least dad will be glad to see he is happy.

At the house few guests had already arrive, thank God Torren had taken the dress to her, he had hurried her into the car.

I didn't get a good look at her but looking at her now standing at his side, she looks breathtaking.'

The emerald green looks so rich, and Torren seems please with her appearance. It suits her perfectly.

Entering the hall seeing they had rearranged the furniture and the dining area, where tables were alongside the wall.

The floor was clear for dancing, it was good that we left so the change seems to please him seeing him smiling as he shakes the guest's hands as he welcomes them.

He was also pleased to see there were enough chairs for those who want to sit and eat anytime they wanted. And they are also free to sit at the table without disturbing the dancers.

Admiring Careen and Lasandra walking down the stairs, "Honey you look very intoxicating."

"Thank you."

"Lasandra you look amazing, where is your husband?"

"Your brother will be down in a while, he just returned from work."

"I see your parents are already here."

"Then let me go to them, if you will excuse me."

"Carl where is Torren?"

"He is somewhere around Dad."

"Did he meet Shawney?"

"Yes, he is relaxed now, and I must say very happy."

"Thank God, and Son thank you for taking him to meet her."

"Dad the reason she wasn't here as promise was she had driven her family to the beach with Mitch bus."

"You mean that big bus?"

"Yes, I was surprised too, but it seems she handles it well, and her outfit fits perfectly, it is one of the exclusive pieces I saw when we visit."

"Yes, I know, Torren will be please."

"He was dad, they both look amazing, look for yourself."

Train shriek out having to cover his mouth, "God they look perfect."

"My thoughts exactly."

Entering the hall, seeing the guest, "Gus honey, isn't that the missionary we met on the tour?"

"It looks so, our suspicion was right." Mr. Collin's respond immediately.

"Right about what?" Train asks as he approaches them.

"Train the place look wonderful."

"Yeah, but it has been years since we had a dinner party, so what were you talking about?"

"The young lady, we met her on our tour, she is a missionary."

"Yes, I know, we met while I was promoting our new line, so I invited her to visit. When she came to visit Robert, she visited us."

"Are you saying she is related to Robert?"

"Yes, she is Paula niece, they will be here anytime, but Shawney came early because while doing missionary work at the hospital she met Torren and they have become friends.

Now make yourselves comfortable I have other guests to greet."

Standing aside when a group of people came, they were a bit noisy, but Robert was with them, as they scattered around while Robert came towards us.

"Mr. Collin, this is a nice surprise, how long has it been?"
