Amelia walked to the living room where the phone was. She picked it up and called her daughter’s cell. When Claire didn’t pick up, she left a message.
“Claire, when আপনি get this, please call me back. I’m not angry with আপনি for taking the car without asking. I’m just really worried”
She tried to think of something else to say, but couldn’t come up with anything and so she hung up. She walked to the kitchen. Jimmy had requested some চা and she was going to make some.
When it was ready she poured the চা in a cup and carried it upstairs. She opened the door and walked inside their bedroom.
“Here’s your tea” she smiled weak as she walked to the bed. “I’ll just put it here. It’s still very hot”
“I’ll take my chance” Jimmy মতামত প্রদত্ত and he took the cup in his hand.
“Careful” Amelia ব্যক্ত concerned.
Jimmy blew in his চা and then took a sip. He frowned and looked up.
“Something wrong, sweetie?” Amelia asked with a small voice.
“Didn’t I specifically ask for oolong tea?” Jimmy asked. Amelia nodded. “Then why do আপনি bring me green tea?” he yelled as he threw the cup of চা at his wife. Amelia jumped aside and the cup scarcely missed her.
“I’m sorry” she moaned, at the brink of tears. “We don’t have any oolong tea. I didn’t think you’d be able to tell the difference”
As she saw Jimmy step out of বিছানা she backed away.
“Why?” Jimmy snapped and he grabbed her দ্বারা her hair. “Because I’m stupid? You’re the one who’s stupid” He pushed her on the floor. “You clean that up”
Amelia, shaking over her entire body, started collecting the fragments, trying not to burst into tears, for she knew that would only make him angrier.
“Maybe I can go to the store, see if they have oolong tea” she suggested, in an attempt to make up for her mistake.
Jimmy, who had returned to bed, looked up. “What?” he asked confused. “No, don’t bother, dear. I’m good”
Amelia stood and walked to the door. “I’ll see if I can reach Claire” she mumbled and she staggered outside.
