Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

" Adrian...do you know whom you are talking with? Hope you can recognize your mother in a drunken state…" Maria said in a disappointed tone.

Adrian ignored her words and walked out of the Mansion without giving a single gaze at his mother. She stood rooted in the place looking at the leaving figure, hurt by his behavior. He walked towards the backyard where there was a gazebo seating area. He sat on the wooden chair without caring about cold weather. He started sipping the whisky which he brought from inside. He stared at the snowfall at night. 

When the guards were on duty, they noticed him. " Mr. Wislon… What are you doing in the cold weather? It is not safe for you" he said and told him not to come out of the Mansion as it is dangerous to his life.

" Who the hell are you ordering me? Huh! " Adrian shouted at them in his drunken state.

" Sir...please...it is Mr.Brown's order for us to look after you. We can't let you go out of the Mansion. Moreover, you are in an alcoholic effect. It would be more dangerous.." One guard said.

" I am not your prisoner…" Adrian yelled and continued arguing with them. After a while, the guards left him alone and resumed back to his work. Two security guards stayed closer to Adrian to guard. 

He stayed in the gazebo while sitting on the chair. While thinking about the message he got on his mobile, he slept in the same position late at night. 

...

When Katherine opened her eyes, she didn't find Adrian beside her on the bed. She looked around the room for him but he was nowhere. She thought he might be in the bathroom. She waited for a while but there was no sign of him. She panicked and walked to the bathroom to check on him. She didn't find him even in the bathroom. Instantly she went to her mother-in-law's room to inquire about him.

As soon as Katherine stepped inside her room. She noticed Maria sitting on the chair with a gloomy face.

" Mom...Do you know where Adrian is? " She questioned her. 

" I don't keep the whereabouts of drunken people like him. So please don't ask me…" she replied to Katherine. Katherine was dumbfounded with her reply and moved closer to her. She kneeled on one leg and said, " Mom...I am already scared. Don't make me more worried" 

" I am not making you worried. Instead, I am telling you not to think about your careless husband who drank last night " she replied.

" He was upset about the past few incidents for a few days. He might be taken two pegs of wine just to calm his mind. Please don't take him in a wrong way " Katherine supported her husband. Maria glared at her. She slighted up her sleeves on her arms and showed the fingerprints of Adrian over there. 

" What are these? " Katherine asked touching with her palms.

" His fingerprints...when he gripped me in a drunken state and before pushing me away " she answered. Katherine was shocked to know what Adrian did with his mother. It was hard for her to believe but what she saw with her eyes made her believe.

" Do you know where is he now? " she asked Maria.

" one of the security guards informed me that the whole night he was at Gazebo " Maria informed with a serious face.

" Oh my god... it's so cold outside. He might get sick....." She exclaimed and came out of her room. 

In spite of her health condition, she rushed towards Gazebo where Adrian was. She found him asleep in a sitting position. She noticed two security guards closer to him. Being injured, she quickly walked towards him and patted his cheeks gently.

" Ad...open your eyes…" she woke him up.

As he was in fitful sleep, he opened his eyes and stared at Katherine who was standing in front of his eyes. 

" Ad... let's go...inside. It's very cold outside. You don't even wear a leather jacket…" she said and tried to pull him from the chair.

He grabbed back his hand from her grip and looked at her seriously. " Can't you let me sleep peacefully? " he shouted.

" I am so sorry. You can continue your sleep after going to our room. But don't make a scene in front of others. Please..." she said in a pleading tone looking at the security guards.

Instantly Adrian stood up from the chair and walked towards the Mansion with a serious face while leaving her alone behind him. Katherine was shocked by his weird behavior. She doesn't understand why there was a sudden change in him just in one night. Slowly she followed him and went to the room.

" Ad...what is wrong with you? " She asked him. Then she twirled towards him and said, " Even mom is upset with your behavior? What happened? " 

" If I tell you my problem, you are not in a position to solve it! So better you don't interfere in my matter " he yelled at her. She was hurt by his words but she didn't show it on her face. " Ad...I know, I can't help you in this position. But if you share your problem or pain, you can get some relief, " she said, cupping his face.

He pushed her hands back and turned away from her. " what should I say? And whom to say? When you are one of the problems for me " he yelled.

" All my business is ruined. I am almost bankrupt. All the hard work which I earned all these years went into vain. I remained as an unsuccessful person" saying he went to the bathroom.

With Adrian's outburst, Katherine had tears in her eyes. It's not because Adrian blamed her as one of his problems but because his hard work of all these years washed away. She stood in the same place waiting for him.
