1 week later.......
I woke up early today was a big day. Finally after keeping a secret for so long I have final decided to share the details with the most important person of them all and take his blessings. The secret is my relationship with Aurora and my brothers are smart enough, so they knew it already.
The person I am talking about today is Adriano, Aurora's brother.
I and Aurora thought about it a lot and we came to the conclusion that its better we reveal the truth ourselves at an appropriate time when everything is going okay. Both of us do not want him to find the truth from somewhere else which would make us look bad and he would feel betrayed by Aurora as if she doesn't trust him enough.Aurora had tried to inform him earlier which would have made it little easier for me to approach him but that day he was busy and she couldn't talk to him, so now we have to get the deed done.
I believe we wont get a better opportunity now because basketball team won not too long ago and Aurora's recent victory in the elections would be the icing on the cake I hoped really hard that Adriano would accept us together. I was concerned that given my past with drugs he might not find me suitable for his sister.
Also after assuming the post of president of the student council today is Aurora's first ever meeting.
I quickly took a shower and chose a nice full sleeves t shirt and jeans, I applied pomade and made my hair looks formal and presentable. I skipped breakfast at home and quickly drove for the Lombardi mansion.
Adriano greeted me at the gate and asked me to join them at the table where Aurora was already seated and we exchanged nervous glances as to who would broach the subject and how to do it. Finally Aurora opened her mouth to break the ice and said "I have a boyfriend"
Listening this statement Adriano was stunned and almost choked on the piece of toast he was chewing, as if the world had collapsed around him and he went on a rant asking barrage of questions like who is the guy?, where does he live and other related stuff. This was making me really nervous.
"Calm down brother dearest let me answer your questions one at a time" Aurora said and Adriano drank some water.
"Well you know the person really well and he is sitting right in front of you" Aurora said. The cat was finally out of the bag and there was nowhere to hide. I stared constantly at the plate laid in front of me and avoided Adriano's gaze.I wished the earth would open up and swallow me inside.
Adriano clears his throat and says "Giovanni would you like to add something?"
I looked straight at him and used my most convincing voice and said "Adriano I really love her and I would do my best to keep her happy."
"I believe you and know what a great family you have, I did have my concerns about your past but I believe your brothers would keep you in check and I am updated about your progress and how much focussed you are towards making a mark in your life. I can see that Aurora is a positive influence in your life and your eyes portray the deep love you have for her, you two have my blessings"
