What was more memorable for me was the chat with Sam. He sounded wiser and more intelligent than the Sam I used to know. Right after lunch, we had the chance to talk before the main programme began.
"Ras, once you get someone who loves you, no matter your situation, fight for her and never let her go."
I don't want to brag, but I ate at the VIP section with the likes of Sam, Emma and parents from both sides. My invite enabled me this privilege. Too bad for my pal Tom who was late and had to queue with the rest for the little portions being served.
"I can see that Doris really loves you. Just never disappoint her or lose her."
"Sam, you know that is never a guarantee. Once she gets to college, she would lose interest in me."
"That's highly unlikely. With Doris, she would be yours. If not in three years, then in ten. Trust me, when that time comes, you will be the one inviting us for your wedding."
Wedding is on August 2
I was not sure about who told him about Doris. Emma avoided my eyes for the duration of the party and up to the end where she called me aside for a small chat."I want to thank you for turning up. I really appreciate it."
"That was nothing. I also owe you one for that day."
"I know. But seeing you there and even sacrificing the World Cup really touched me. And about Doris."
I scrambled my senses for the worst.
"She really loves you."
"Look, let's leave time to decide whether it will work out or not. It is too early to start all this sentimentalism."
She agreed with me. Despite the obvious risk that the occasion provided, she gave me a long hug and I felt something in her belly. Could it be that she had eaten to her fill or something else?
Let's not speculate. The wedding will be on August 2nd.
Right now, Uruguay are leading 1-0 thanks to Cavani.
