Family

Part 12

(The big day Faadilah and Mike's anniversary is fast approaching. Just two more days. In the meantime, Faadilah had sent her uncle Chris the information she found out regarding Mike's brother coming down for a visit. Chris received the messages but couldn't return them yet because he was performing. Chris finally got an opportunity to call Faadilah back and does so).

Chris- Hey kiddo, I saw your text messages and I am just getting around to answering them now. That being said, I decided to call you instead. Okay, what information did you find out about Mike brother?

Faadilah  Hello Uncle Chris. Yes I found out everything you need to know. Mike's brother goes to University of London, in London, England, his spring break is in four months time, but he is free on weekends. Mike and I emailed him a couple weeks ago and he introduced me to him. The flight is 9 hours and 55 minutes to get there, so roughly a 10 hour flight. There are 2 flights per day one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I emailed him a week later and told him about the surprise party and how I want him to come to the party, but not to tell Mike because  it's a surprise. Mike's brother's name is Matthew Chong and he is 21 years old. Matthew lives in residence, at the University of London which is  Senate House on Malet Street, in Bloomsbury, London, WC1E 7HU, United Kingdom. Then he said it is very expensive to come and too long of a fight to come for just a weekend. So I don't know if he will come even if you send the ticket and surprise him.

Chris- Well you did a good job on investigating all this out.  Now all I have to do is buy an open ticket and hope that he will come the weekend of your anniversary.  Does Mike know anything about this? Like is he suspicious?

Faadilah- I don't think so, I played it out like we were just getting to know each other's family and extended family during the conversations we had about it.

Chris- Oh okay, great. We want to keep it a secret so he is surprised. After all this is your big anniversary surprise.

(After hanging up the phone with Faadilah, Chris makes some phone calls and uses the information Faadilah gave him to purchase a ticket and send to Matthew as soon as possible. A couple days later Matthew receives an email with an attachment. When he opens the attachment  he sees an open ticket to Miami, Florida. Matthew is shocked, and unsure who sent it until he read the email. The email informed Matthew that the ticket was a surprise from Faadilah  and her uncle Chris to attend the surprise anniversary party at Chris's mansion. The ticket was a gift in hopes that he would attend. The email outlined the address and the accommodations that will be provided at Matthew's arrival (there will be a limo waiting to pick him up at the airport and take him to Chris's mansion, he also has given him the guest house for his stay).

(Matthew is in disbelief that someone who barely knows him would do such a nice thing for him. Matthew emailed Chris back and thanked him for such a generous gift. Matthew also informed Chris that he will attend and he will also take some extra days so that he can spend more time with his brother Mike).

(Chris receives the email and immediately calls Faadilah to let her know the exciting news).

Faadilah- Hello.

Chris- Hey kiddo, are you busy? Well, what I mean is say you have a minute?

Faadilah- No I can talk for a bit, what's up?

Chris- Well I sent the ticket, Matthew received it and replied back to my email.

Faadilah- Well, don't keep me in suspense, tell me what he said.

Chris- Okay, okay. He was very appreciative and he said he will attend. He also said that he will stay a few extra days to spend more time with Mike.
