Boobala Darling Wins a Cruise: Part 5 of 9 (A fictional story set in Brooklyn)

The opportunist: leaves his mark

Uncle Jake was quite taken aback by the unexpected news. He was against his nephew wanting to get married at such a young age. Also, he was not very satisfied with his choice. She felt that her handsome nephew deserved better than this unappealing girl, but she could end up being a devoted wife. He turned to Harry and asked, “Do your parents know that you are getting married?”

“No, no, Uncle Jake. They don’t like me very much, and I don’t know why. They threaten to send her to an aunt in California to separate us. Boobala and I love each other very much and that would break my heart if she left. The way we are Of legal age, we have decided to elope. I hope that, like my uncle, you will give us your approval and help us financially. “

Uncle Jake couldn’t understand the rush. “Are you pregnant?”

“No man, she’s not pregnant,” he replied.

Jake was still uneasy about the upcoming marriage. How could he approve when he knew that Harry was emotionally immature and irresponsible? Of course, he had to painfully admit that he was partly to blame. He regretted that the boy had a bad deal in life, with his mother dying when he was so young and a father who didn’t care. Maybe that’s why she pampered him so much. He hoped that Harry would become a responsible adult once he married. Jake agreed to get them a furnished room and a small kitchen, the rent paid for a year. He even bought her a suit for the wedding with all the matching accessories.

Harry never seemed satisfied with what he received. He always wanted more. When planning the wedding, Boobala had suggested to Harry that they go on a cruise to the Bahamas for their honeymoon. I had always dreamed of going on a cruise. “It’s so romantic,” he would say. Harry snapped angrily: “What are you crazy? I get dizzy easily. Do you want me to spend our honeymoon vomiting? Besides, it would be boring with nothing to see but look at the sea, so forget it. I prefer to go to Las Vegas where it is. the action. It’s more fun. “

As a last try, to get some more money from his uncle, he reminded him of the honeymoon. “Hey man,” Harry activated his famous charm, “since I’m your only relative, why don’t you send us to Vegas for a week’s honeymoon? I always wanted to go there.” He was looking for a way to escape the consummation of their wedding night, for which he was not bargaining.

Uncle Jake was upset. “What the hell do you think I am, j @ #! $ @% ATM? Listen buddy, the money stops here. I’ve already spent enough on this wedding. You want to go so bad, so you can work and save your money if you want.” . This was the first time Uncle Jake erupted at him, and the first time Harry didn’t get his way. He was crazy as hell. Already at 19, Harry had started drinking and gambling a lot. His best friend Billie Boy always had a stash of beer and wine on hand when Harry needed it. Uncle Jake had no idea that Harry was drinking and gambling. I just knew that he smoked. In his eyes, Harry was always a good boy, a little crazy but good. There was nothing about him that should be cause for concern.
