In retrospect, it’s a pity that Adan’s uncle, a man who had cautioned, at the kids’ engagement party, against Laris actualizing a union with Adan, was, at the time, on bail for a single instance of alleged white collar thievery. As such, no one had heeded his caring warning about Adan, choosing, instead, to use the fact of his words to springboard gossip about his unproven wrongdoings and about his forthcoming trial. What’s more, after that uncle made that perilous announcement, Adan’s mother banned him from further family functions.
Time passed. I was no longer welcomed to stopover at Adan and Laris’, even when Adan was elsewhere.
I spoke to clergy. I supposed that some large moral mistake or even a gaggle of smaller ones was sticking to my soul and generating those awful paradoxes.
