When Martina walked into the house, she saw Dan pacing the room restlessly. She was anxious because she had never met him such a mood before, Dan was normally cool headed and usually tackled serious issues calmly. She quietly went to her room, dropped her bag, changed into something casual and came back in. He had not noticed her come into the house neither did he notice when she came back from her room, he seems greatly occupied with whatever he was pondering on.
"Good afternoon Darling", Martina greeted as she took her seat on one of the sofas in the room.
The greeting seems to startled him and he turned immediately like someone who was roused my a sting from the scorpion.
"Afternoon",Dan grunted in reply. He drew one of the chairs in the dining hall close to him and sat down.
"What is the matter? you look tense", Martina asked.
As if all the emotions and rage he had been accumulating were waiting for that singular question, like a bloated balloon awaiting the sharp prick of a needle to let out all it air, Dan exploded.
"Your foolish son has gone off his head again but this time, he will face the other side of me!" Dan said with bated breath.
"What has he done again? And remember, he is our son, not mine alone!" Martina corrected.
"I don't care! The lawless imp took one of the cars without permission again and crashed into someone's fence!" Dan Shouted.
"Oh my...! Hope he is okay?" She asked almost going mad with fright.
"I don't care if he is or not! Better go check on him yourself if you care that much!".
Dan said and walked out of the room.
Burst Son!
