checking something from his past. “It goes way back to college when Mason, Gavin and I used to be bests friends. We enjoyed a lot back then.”
    “So it is kind of reunion then.”
    “Sort of.”

    “It’s painful , dude. To lie with to one you love so much.” I expressed my feelings to Mason. Lying to Eva was extremely painful for me. I never thought it would be at first, but as the moments passed after telling her the half-truth, I started feeling the heat of it. I told her that I was going to meet Gavin. That was in the plan, but things were a bit different.
    In the last couple days, Mason and I had discussed with Charlie the contract and we finally agreed on two hundred and fifty thousand bucks. That would pay off my debt to the bank if I won two out of three matches with Peter. For me, it was three bulls in one shot. Peter, the bank and Martha. The only downside to the plan was that I’d had to lie to Eva to make it work. I just couldn’t tell her. My intentions were good and I wanted to give her the life she deserved.
    “Don't stress too much , dude. Remember one thing: if you want to earn money and be successful, the best chances that you can achieve it with your passion only,” Mason said.
    Looking at him reminded me that he used to give us these sort s of motivational talks when we were in college. Most of the time, he used to be true and inspirational. This time, my heartfelt he was right. Boxing was my passion and if I won these matches, it would be the best thing to have happened to me after meeting Eva. “Still, it’s hard to lie to one you love most.” My guilt was eating me from the inside. I had never lied to her for anything.
    “Sometimes , you have to lie for the greater good,” he said in a very serious tone along with a serious face.
    “Now you are talking like Dumbledore.” I chuckled. His dialogue changed my mood.
    “Come on , I’m better than him.” He smiled.
    “What are our plan s? When are we meeting Gavin? Did you inform him?” I had spent last three days in training and Mason had taken care of everything else.
    “No, it’s a surprise for him. I informed Sam and he will send a car to pick us up from the airport.”
    “Sam? Wow, it’s long time since we’ve seen them both.”
    “And we are going to stay with them, so we can have a real bachelor party after you are done with your matches.”
    “Yes, maybe.” The three matches were scheduled back to back in one day. It was brutal, but that was the way sponsors earned their money back. “If I’m able to stand on my own legs after the matches.”
    “Don’t worry. You are stronger than that. I’m sure about that. You have that in you, Nathan. That’s why you are the brightest fighter in our club. And if you can’t stand on your legs, we will let a girl give you a lap dance in the hospital.” Mason chuckled.
    “I think whatever the result maybe , I’ll just tell this part to Eva when get back.”
    We were waiting for the plane and I was neck-deep in guilt. The gray clouds of shame floated around me. Concentrating on the match was more difficult than I had guessed.
    “Come on , dude, our plane is ready.” Mason shook me. I followed him.

    “What? Are you married?” Gavin asked me with surprise. “Why didn’t you tell me, dude. We just talked a month ago.”
    “Long story short, it was an accident. And it was a good one.” Total confusion was out of my brain .“I had thought it was a bad accident first, but it turned out to be a pretty good one. And I’m a settled person now.”
    “Are you happy , dude?” Gavin put his hand on my shoulder.
    “Yup , I am,” I said cheerfully.
    “When is the first match?” he asked.
    “Well , day after tomorrow and all the three matches are in a single day. It’s a bloody trap for me, but I’m going to knock their socks off.”
    “That’s the attitude , man. I hope you practiced with Mason only.”
    “Who else I would trust for this
