Ibsen’s Residence

(Short story) He was in the third story of the building when the early light fell into his room. Furthermore, he didn't recall how he reached this story. He was intensely inebriated the evening before and his companion had come from Vancouver and left at midnight. They had a gathering at the city hotel. He owns the share of three such resorts. In his school years, it was his fantasy to start a big hotel. And he could have luxury stay and jazz and country music and frequent drinks in the bar. But things had changed from then. At least a small part of it. Further then, he hoped to supervise a lot of luxurious things and he dreamt that ladies will prefer him if is richer. (he had a black pallor on the face below the right eye from birth, and he was conscious of his looks).And the barmaids would tolerate however absurd his talk was as if he is the owner of the entire set up. But the maids had more honour and intelligence than him and they made fun of him in their free hours, in common dining rooms and way to restrooms. It took him several years to realize part of his dream, and once he was into the real business, he recognized the full cycles of the absurdity of it. Meanwhile, he married and came into the company of different types of amigos and he got a novel look into the life and this caused him to reassess some of his values. But his wife remained the same old person throughout. At least from outside.

It was, truth be told, an accentuation of some of his previous thoughts of life, which happened to demonstrate without a doubt as years cruise by. He can arrive at a portion of the dim locks on his skull and grin without disgrace since graciousness surpasses excellence, and as he had known, thoughtfulness far outperforms splendor and all the ideals in life aside from maybe truth, which is a questionable point. However, now, his father would have another feeling on the off chance that he had lived, yet he recalls that, in actuality, his dad was benevolent just as honest and when he recollects now he recalls his dad as a generous man and not as only a man of truth.
