The only reason of my visit here is Ica. And I have long forgotten that I had a brother named Andrew in my life so there would be no chance of us being normal like before." Reuben curtly replied which panged Andrew's heart like a gunshot while Lisa just rubbed his arm to console him.
"What do you want me to do then?" Andrew asked looking pathetically at Reuben.
Whereas Reuben was trying to avoid Andrew completely because he knew that the moment he'd look at Andrew, his all rationality would break down and he'd rush towards him before engulfing him a tight hug.
But the pain he had gone through these years was making him adamant not to melt in his brother's loving gaze.
Without looking at him, he chose to face the wall and stated sternly, "Come with me to Fusion right now. All of our friends and family would be waiting there."
Andrew was astonished with whatever Reuben had asked him to do. Though he wanted to come out of his hidden self but this was not the correct time for that.
So he immediately denied, "I.. I can't Reuben. I can't do this. This is not the right time yet."
Reuben instantly turned his face towards him and gave a glare before mocking him, "You were selfish six years ago. And you're still selfish who is only thinking about yourself."
This hit Andrew really hard because it was absolutely true..!!
He escaped from city S faking his death because he feared that his one particular wrong deed would lead his close people to start hating him.
But he forgot the fact that the after effects of his lies would force the people around him to completely break down and when the truth would come out, their hatred towards him would grow even more..
But not because of his past deeds but for him faking his death.!
Getting no response from him, Reuben shook his head while chuckling sarcastically as he said, "I think I had asked too much from you. It's your last chance to show up in front of everyone today. If you don't reveal the truth about yourself to our closed ones now, then it'll be never...
Because I would not let you enter into their life later so that you could hurt them again. Think over it and make the decision wisely."
Lisa who was hearing the conversation between the brothers quietly couldn't hold herself from speaking up on seeing the devastated look of her husband.
"Reuben, can we not delay it for few more days? Look at your brother, he is looking so weak. Think about him also." Lisa tried to convince him.
"You are telling me to think about him now? Where was he when we needed him the most? Where was his care towards his little sisters who had loved him as their own brother?
What about his parents who had raised him with so much love? Last but not the least, what about we four younger brothers of him who had always looked upon to him in every step?
He was not there with us. Never!! But he chose to betray all of our love and fled away from his responsibilities. Now you tell me Lisa…should I still give him a chance?" Reuben scoffed at them as his eyes burned with anger.
Lisa was completely dumbfounded with whatever she had heard from Reuben. Obviously, it's not easy for Reuben to give Andrew another chance as his betrayal was the most shocking one.
Andrew bowed his head with guilt as his eyes started watering up. He started to remember all of their good moments together when he would save his cute little sisters from the teasing of the boys.
The amount of protectiveness he had for his younger siblings who were not even blood related to him, had came flashing into his mind.
While Reuben just kept looking at him with his darkening gaze but there was a hint of sadness inside of them to see his brother living in a pool of guilty conscience.
Getting no response from him even after a few minutes, Reuben sighed heavily and started walking towards the door in a dismissive attitude.
"Wait, Reuben..!!"
Right at that moment when Reuben was about to step out of the threshold, Andrew called for him out loudly.
An instant smile bloomed into Reuben's lips which was as much pure as a flower. But he quickly covered it with a knowing smirk.
"Yes, Mr. Jones? Do you have something more to say?" Reuben asked, acting to be impatient towards him.
Taking a deep breath, Andrew finally made his decision as he said, "Fine, I'm ready to go with you."
Lisa looked at him in shock but Andrew just blinked at him, trying to convince her that everything was gonna be alright.
Lisa became really happy that her dream to have a big family with lots of friends and her crave for parental love might get fulfilled today after a long time..
She gave him a bright smile and held Andrew's hand to give it a squeeze in a form of support.
Reuben observed the exchange between them and was internally happy that his brother had finally found a true love in Lisa who cared for him from the bottom of her heart.
Shaking his thoughts away, Reuben announced, "Go and get ready. I'll be waiting for you guys here. Then we can leave for our destination where everyone must be waiting for us."
Nodding his head, both Andrew and Lisa went upwards to their room to dress themselves up while Reuben just sighed in contentment, thinking about the smile which would bloom up into his dear fiance's lips when she would come face to face with the surprise...
"Your Bennie is coming baby. But this time not alone but with the two people whose existence and real identity would leave you in shock. Just wait for me, my love. Your surprise is on the way." Reuben muttered to himself.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
