Love of Insanity

4

After paying for the flowers bought, Tom rushed out of the store unwilling to linger with the girl who had not stopped winking at him.

"Everything doesn't make sense!"

Tom was tired of the girls who often bothered him. Ask for his phone number too! Isn't that supposed to be the thing men do?

They're crazy about Tom just because of his looks not because of who he is!

He quickened his pace toward the parking lot of his car.

His mind was not focused on the surrounding situation while remembering the conversations of his family members over the course of the day.

Flashback........

"Are you sure, sweetheart?" asked the giggling man sitting on the couch. 

All members of the Wright family relax in the living room. They chatted about Tom who is now in college. Unaware of the presence of Tom who had just returned from college. He was at the entrance of the house unnoticed by other members of his family.

"Yes! I saw with my own eyes, dad. It's funny!" replied the youngest sister.

Tom felt curiosity bubbling inside him. He himself had no idea about the things that made his family not stop laughing. He decided to wait for a while before entering the living room.

"You didn't see it wrong, did you? Is that really your brother?" the mother asked as well.

The word brother means him. Tom's curiosity increased. He brought his ears closer to the wall so he could hear more clearly.

"Of course, mom. It's him. I'm 100% sure!" tell the girl happily. Mr. and Mrs. Wright laughed at this.

"But why would Tom want to do anything with an older woman, Karren?" dad asked with a question mark.

Tom almost choked when he heard the confession. Since when did his sister see him with a woman older than him? That's not possible! Karren Wright always made his brother a joke. Spreading false news to their families.

"I don't know dad. Apparently Thomas is interested in older women. Look, many crazy young girls his age want to date Tom but he refuses. Glances and words are rarely spoken to them. He never shows his interest in young girls. Always an older woman! I'm worried. That's all" she said with sympathy.

"So, what's the problem, Karren? It's true your brother likes older women, yes. But I don't see it wrong if one day he marries an older woman? They're not killers, remember, young girls" said the father with a wink. Mom gave her a charming smile.

"Your father is right, darling. Don't worry"

"But...."

"But what?" Tom appeared before them. He is waiting for an answer from his sister.

But before he could recalled their conversation, a car horn sounded startling him out of his reverie. He tried to refocus on what had been going on around him.

"Hey, young man!"

And he knew he had made a big mistake.
