Adam Jones

"Dad? Mom? What are you doing here?" I asked as I saw my dad enter our house with anger written all over his face.

"Well, to confront the secret you've been hiding from all of us all these days," Dad said. I looked at my mom but she was clueless about it. He got to know?!?

"What secret?" Uncle Aaran asked.

"Nothing dad," Anna replied immediately.

"Oh good. Both of you are here." Dad said.

"What's your problem, Tony? Can't you leave us in peace?" Uncle said.

"Right Aaran. I will leave you in peace but after hearing what these two have done, I don't think you'll feel 'peaceful'." Dad said.

"What have they done now?" Uncle asked.

"Nothing! We didn't do anything." Anna said immediately.

"Anna please be quiet," Dad said.

"Tell us." Aunt Elena said.

"I just got to know from a private detective, whom I had hired, that my son and your daughter are married. And that too in Vegas." Dad said. Oh no!

"What???" Uncle shouted.

"And when they were drunk," Dad added making me get angry.

"Dad stop!" I snapped at him.

"Dad, I can explain," Anna begged her dad.

"What else can you explain after all this?" Uncle said to her.

"We've applied for a divorce too," I said to make this feel a little better.

"Adam, a divorce still doesn't change anything. How the hell could you think of doing this? And that too getting married to a fraud's daughter?" Dad said. Anna immediately defended her dad. I mean who wouldn't? How could my dad say something like that? And she's finally on good terms with her dad.

"DON'T YOU DARE CALL MY FATHER A FRAUD, MR.JONES!" She shouted at him. "Then even this amount of respect will not be there anymore." She said.

"Yeah, dad. You can't just call someone like that. And he was your friend." I said.

"Oh stop it, Adam! Your dad's not some great friend." Uncle said.

"Dad enough!" Anna said but he didn't stop.

"No no. Just one thing. How could you get married to a cheater's son and think you could get away with it?" Uncle said making me get pissed off.

"Mr. Hall, don't call my dad a cheater! How can you just....?" I started when Rita shouted.

"STOP IT! EVERYONE! I'm pregnant and I've had enough of all this. Now, let's sit down and talk. Anna and Adam come with me." She commanded and we were just little mice following the leader. Wait, what am I saying?

**********

"How could your dad just call mine a fraud?" Anna started as we were filling up the glasses with drinks.

"And how could your dad....?" I started when Rita stopped us.

"Enough. Now, go out and give these drinks to them. And then we'll talk." She instructed us.

"You've not added drugs in that, have you?" Ben asked her.

"Ben! Now is not the time to joke." She told him.

"I just wanted to make them laugh a bit." He said.

"Thanks for that Ben. But now is the wrong time." Anna said.
