The match makersA Story by Haim KadmanThe posted excerpt represents my 17th book, a novel, titled "Some Facts of Life", which I've finished editing this very day.The match makers Some Facts of Life An excerpt 'Well we did it fast didn't we?' Ezra remarked after
they've rented a three room furnished apartment at Candlelight drive 'But if you'll marry her you'll have to move to a
house of your own, if you wish to have her family's approval.' 'It will take time Ezra and who knows, I might end up
marrying someone else.' 'I believe that she'll accept your proposal dear Eli,
and it will be a great step forward for all of us, taking into account her
family's position and prestige in the entire Baltimore district; but let's
drive home and I'll give you a hand in your preparation, for you're supposed to
meet her at seven pm.' 'What about our afternoon inspection tour dear Ezra?' 'Oh we'll just show our faces a few moments in each
drug store, but get into the car and let's drive home.' The house was in complete silence when they entered
it. 'Where's Mali?' Eliahu asked sneaking a look at his
brother with wonder. 'She's taking her afternoon nap, but let's not waste
our time and go to your room, to pack up your things and see what else you
should take with you.' When they've just entered Eliahu's room Mali came in
with disheveled hair, and attired in a white silk nightgown that accentuated
her heavy breasts. Eliahu averted his eyes after a first glimpse that reminded
him last night with her in his bedroom, he went on packing his things in his
suitcase with abrupt and quick nervous movements. 'What happened why are you back so early?' 'We've rented a furnished apartment in BelAir and Eli
wishes to move,' What's the rush, why Eli?' She turned to her brother
in law astounded without adding another word, but checking herself at the last
moment afraid of exposing her real feelings towards Eli. 'Eli has a date tonight and he doesn’t want to have
it in some hotel, and there is one more significant reason Mali dear; we've
signed a contract at noon in BelAir's most popular shopping center, to
establish our third drug store over there, and Eli will manage it,' 'Congratulations and Mazal Tov to us, but it will
take a couple of weeks to open up our third drug store, isn't it so Ezra dear?' 'Sure that's why he wishes to live there as soon as
possible, to get to know BelAir's population, but till we'll open up our third
drug store he'll stay most of his time with us.' 'I may help you too Ezra dear to give the place a
woman's touch.' 'Oh it's a good idea Mali dear.' Ezra hastened to
accept her suggestion, he could sense that Mali could not hide her disapproval
of his young brother's decision; and on the other hand he noticed his young brother's
embarrassment, and uneasiness in Mali's company. She fancies him and the sooner he'll move to his
rented apartment the better. Ezra thought perturbed and worried. Everything was ready to get going but they had to
wait a few more moments till Mali will dress up and be ready to join them. When she came at last they left the house and boarded
the car; Mali sat beside Ezra and Eli sat on the rear seat just somewhat
relieved. She and his brother exchanged a few words from time to time during
the ride, but Eli did not pay attentions to what was said between his brother
and his sister in law; he was thinking on Alice and tried to visualize in his
mind's eye the right way, in which he will propose to her. He was not a
youngster anymore who is about to kneel as if he is mad in love, and propose to
his first future partner in life. He is some eight years at least older than
Alice, and if it was not so important to their business interests, he would
have tried his luck with a better looking female. © Haim Kadman July 2015 " all rights
