A Christmas Tale
Prologue
Quietly dozing in the lovely summer afternoon's heat, the butterflies
dancing around the lavender bushes, the bees searching for honey and the
drone of myriads of insects it is all still just as surrealistic and
impossible to understand now as it was at the very beginning....
Chapter 1
Before going to work every morning I would as usual peek anxiously into
the bedroom of my former hard working, hard drinking and lifelong Irish
pal Brendan Mulligan, wondering with increasing despair how much longer I
could go on supporting him since his mother died a few months ago because
he'd been out of work ever since. However I had known immediately it had
hit him very hard as they'd been really close ever since his father had
died when young, so why naturally he had doted on her like mad.
But the inescapable fact was he was now several weeks behind with the rent
which was making life impossible for me as I couldn't afford it much
longer and would have to start looking for someone else to take his place
quickly. Not once during this period had he even had one offer of a job,
not even been offered a second chance from his former employer a distant
cousin who'd finally had to give him his notice after being with him for
more than 4 years. Yet none of it made any sense as he was an incredibly
skilled woodworker and brilliant craftsman, a talent he'd inherited from
his father who'd also won many awards at several Irish county fairs and
agricultural shows as well.
He did tell me once in a moment of drunken confidence that his mother was
very poor and why he always had to take a lot of cash with him whenever he
drove up to see her in a small rented cottage deep in the countryside of
County Galway, and why obviously he'd occasionally then been behind with
the rent. It was obvious too she'd left little if anything for him either
so it was the least I could do until he could get back onto his feet
again.
What always used to puzzle me though was every time he came back after an
occasional weekend with his mother he was always very moody, distant and
far away muttering to himself with the light in his bedroom on well into
the small hours with the faint smell of scented candles and incense still
lingering in the hall the following morning. It was almost as if his
mother still retained some sort of strange hold over him when away from
her which was all pretty weird and so completely in contrast to his normal
good humoured and boisterous character.
In his defence it wasn't that he was lazy as he'd always been a very
decent and easy-going guy, and whilst out of work had always kept my flat
looking really nice and clean with a hot tasty evening meal always ready
in the oven when I came home, so at least his mother must have taught him
something well. Small mercies yet it was just that since she'd died he
seemed to have lost all his old zest and interest in life, sadly almost
the will to live it seemed lately according to the doctor who'd suggested
that he might need to be taken into social care fairly soon if things
didn't improve.
Unfortunately this all happened to coincide when one day I suddenly saw
the girl of my dreams sitting at a table during the lunch break in the
office restaurant, who'd just started working in another section of my
advertising department one floor below called Siobhan. Even though we'd
never seen each other before we both instinctively knew that it was love
at first sight and clicked immediately, because after a short hesitant
smile from her to begin with and a wink and a big happy grin from me we
then found ourselves smiling and grinning non-stop at each other which was
nothing short of breathtaking !
Throughout the whole meal I'd kept glancing at her and she me, so when she
got up to put her tray onto the stack I was instantly right behind
accidentally bumping into her as she turned away ! However what made us
both laugh was when she immediately said I knew you were there and knew
exactly which way I had to step backwards !
That's the exact moment when we both knew we were made for each other for
ever and within less than a couple of minutes were sitting down drinking
coffee desperately wanting to know as much as we could about the other,
eventually happily agreeing to meet up after work for another coffee and a
bite to eat just across the road, so that less than two weeks later were
already very close sometimes knowing what the other was going to say
before they said it. I still remember saying to her that evening just
after work, that for me it was love at first sight and she said the same
for her too both of us knowing that this was true even if it was often
mocked as an old wives' tale.
She'd soon asked me round to her small flat just outside Dublin not far
from mine for a meal where we'd had long chats about everything under the
sun, including unfortunately the long standing problem of Brendan as I
told her how much I'd love to invite her back to my place for a meal as
well.
I shall never forget those first few magical weeks though, especially when
she was cooking a really mouthwatering meal and always offering me a
spoonful first to see if I liked it, her eyes lighting up with genuine
happiness when I said I really did love it. Or when she was in front of a
long mirror in the hall regularly brushing out her hip length thick blonde
hair which she could see I loved just as much as she did. However I'm
almost sure one of the main reasons why she brushed it so often was as a
tease which definitely worked out marvellously for both of us especially
overnight, additionally pleasing her enormously as it was very important
to her that I also loved long hair too as I could then help her look after
it !
However she said that in fact it was originally because her mother had had
long hair all her life and why she had always encouraged her to grow and
keep her's long as well, and why she could never have it short again after
she'd left school as it would be like cutting off her right arm. Just so
long as you know what you're letting yourself in for she'd finished
grinning mischievously both of us knowing by then that I only had to pop
the question and she'd say yes immediately.
However I had to keep holding back asking her to my place as the long
standing problem of Brendan was always unhappily and unspoken in the
background, much as I desperately wanted to invite her as well. The
problem was he almost never went out except for shopping just slept or sat
in his room nearly all day long mindlessly watching tv or playing games
non-stop on his console.
Well I did ask her round eventually and even though I introduced him just
after she'd arrived, we could both hear the TV in his room on throughout
the meal and afterwards, which I knew upset her a lot as we weren't able
to relax in privacy at all.
The problem was even though he knew that we silently wished he would go
out for the evening, he just didn't take the broad hint seemingly always
trying to avoid me as much as possible. I'd even started deliberately
talking to him to try and bring him out of his shell and make him feel
guilty, but it was always the same result as we'd finish up with yet more
vague promises he'd try and sort something out. Sometimes it felt as if he
was living in another world altogether, so unlike the thoughtful,
considerate old Brendan that I'd always known and loved. So out of
character too as normally he would have gone out of his way to not come
back till early the following morning to give us as much time together as
possible and to be alone.
During lunch break in the office restaurant the day after she'd first met
him she'd said unhappily why don't you just tell him to leave as he's
obviously never going to change. I said I had but he never did anything,
though I had to admit to her that I was beginning to be afraid he might go
off the rails completely and perhaps harm himself seriously if I did.
What about social care then she'd asked surely they could take him off
your hands, which I hadn't thought of so we both agreed this had to be the
next step. Nevertheless all this is going to take time she replied firmly
which unfortunately left me in a quandary, and although she said she
understood she suddenly changed the subject onto other things, her way I
sadly realised of saying you're going to have to choose one way or the
other and soon.
Desperate not to upset her any more and risk losing her altogether I said
okay I've got a better idea unless he settles the outstanding rent by the
end of the following week I'm calling the police to have him evicted and
forget about what he owes me.
Thankfully Siobhan was happy with this and said that in the meantime as
she'd been meaning to visit her parents for some time anyway she'd be away
untll late Sunday evening, when she'd give me a call to see how things
were progressing.
When I told Brendan this that same evening he just nodded his head
dejectedly and shoulders sagging turned and without another word went back
to his room, leaving me with a sudden strange and uncomfortable feeling
that he was no longer in the room with me any more but somewhere far away
as his eyes had soon become very sad and distant.
Unfortunately by the end of the weekend Brendan still hadn't done anything
probably knowing I was still hesitant about calling the police, leaving me
wondering what on earth I could tell Siobhan who most worrying of all
still hadn't rung as she'd promised.
Soon after I got in on the Monday morning and hoping I'd see her for lunch
as usual, the managing director's personal assistant Maureen suddenly
telephoned and said she was very sorry to trouble me but would I please
come up to her office immediately as she needed to talk to me urgently and
in private.
Entering Maureen's office she'd quickly got up from her chair and asked me
to sit down on the large sofa in the corner. Suddenly feeling apprehensive
when she also sat down next to me, she said she didn't know if I'd already
heard but she was terribly sad and sorry to have to say that most
tragically Siobhan had been killed in a car accident on her way back from
her parents yesterday evening....
