A story of a man who being irrational.

During his early 20s, he was a hardworking guy who only focusing on his job rather than doing other activities. James always work and seldom gather with his family and friends. Sometimes, he had to cover his colleague duties on weekend or public holiday, for him, work is his home now. He focusing to much work rather taking care of himself.

In few months later, he bought his tickets to France "Paris", His dream came true, he planned to go across Europe for 30days, which is not enough for him personally. So James travel one location to another. He enjoyed himself by communicating with different races in different cities.

On the last two day from across Europe, James return back to Paris, On the way to his hostel where he stay on the first arrival, he saw this girl which is living near to his hostel. He begin questioning himself whether could he approach this girl and buy her a cup of coffee and maybe some little chat? He test himself by smiling at her with big smiley face. The lady notice him and sexily walking cross the street on his opposite direction where cafe cartel located. She set at empty table for two and look at him, showing him a sign to approach her. James was so nervous that he been thinking of walking away but he couldn't, he had to show his bravery so he pretend not to be coward. While he walk slowly towards her, he asked,"May I seat? She smile and respond,"Yes of course, please. They have a good conversation even though they trying to understand each other, so they exchanging numbers and email address. He told her that he had only 2days in Paris and he planing to comeback again in few months.

Before his departure, she give him, her self made portrait which is priceless. His happy to accept the gift with an exchanged he give her, his childhood photograph.

In few days later, he receive a telephone & internet bills, while he open it, all the sudden, James shock to see the amount, is unbearable that he never expected the amount can be so huge. He scream so loud that his neighbor could hear him on the next door. His neighbor wondering what happen to him, he initially when to his house knocking on his door.

Meanwhile, James thinks about the amount, is so huge that make it impossible to go Paris in 2 months time. All the promises to Lucy won't happen till he need to find solutions. James feel so despondent and he has no choice to use his saving to pay his ridiculous amount of bills.

2 month has pass, James still couldn't save the amount which he's already plan. The second option James had on his mind, to apply for a loan. He submit all his necessary documents and hoping in one week the bank approved his request. Meanwhile the bank call him that his application is approved, in few days time, he will receive the amount on his personal account. He feel so jovial and told Lucy that he will travel to Paris in a week. The planned that his waiting for finally came alive. He begins to pack his things and quit his job as his boss doesn't allowed him to take his annual leave. He incautiously doesn't care about his job, even he don't bother about the bills and installment plan which he agree to pay every month. Now James won't be able to pay his debts, for his perception, as long he can meet Lucy and travel to Europe again, he be ultimately happy.

He finally meet Lucy in Paris and live there for two months. During his stayed in Paris, the bank try to call him to pay the late payment but couldn't get through, the interest which he supposed to pay is increasing each time he lapse on one installment.

After two months living in Paris, Is time for him to go back to his homeland. James feel despondent and started to plan all over again for his third trip. While his back home, he saw a letter from the bank, he open up and write to him to pay almost 1000 dollars which he ran out of money. He feel so nervous and helpless, James asked his family and friends who ever can help him, but unfortunately, nobody can help him, because they know James wont be able to pay back because his jobless. So he struggle for the whole month, still searching for a job and couldn't find any vacancy. He call to the bank, tell them. "I couldn't pay! Immediately, the bank send lawyer letter to his house and demand for payment. He couldn't do too much though but he would rather be in jail at this moment.

In few months time, he attend to court, James told the judge that he has no property or money to pay the bank till he found a new job. The court granted his appeal for 3 months to resume the monthly installment to this bank and furthermore, the judge prosecute him as bankruptcy, for this he won't be able to take any loan from other bank forever.

A month later, he found a job, he started his new life and pretend nothing has happen, he told Lucy, he will visit her in a very long time due to his financial crisis. Three years past, James finally out of his debts, by the time, he found out, she's already found new guy in Paris. His life, relentless but it doesn't stop him going back to Europe.

On his late 30s, he started to improve his condition, able to save money and find new job which pay higher than previous employer. He feel alive again even though he miss Lucy. The past was so good, in the end all goes into memories.
