The moment Raph yanked Carter away, pin-drop silence fell in the The Great Hall. The supposedly whispers of two old people could be clearly heard by all the people in the Hall.
"R...Raph?" Greg squeaked again as the girl in front of him glared at him with death in her eyes. She stood there without moving an inch indifferently.
"Say hello to them Harper." Raphael yipped with a humor in his voice. Greg almost strangled his grandson for laughing at such situation.
"Hello Grandpa. Hello Grandma." The girl moved her lips and greeted in steady manner. The old people shivered with the coldness in the greetings.
"Long time no see..."
"Oh sorry. Never seen."
"No. Better. Not even aware."
The sarcasm in that sentence was so cruel! Raphael felt it in bulk not to mention the two old people standing in front of her.
"Raph. I....Is she... Who is she?" Greg asked with tremor.
"W...Why does she look like Nikky?" Karen added to his question.
The girl still stood there quietly with narrowed eyes. Watching the drama unfolding in front of her. Carter clicked with his tongue seemingly bored with this. Raph sighed as he came forward and put his arm over his sister's shoulders.
"Grandpa. Grandma. This is Harper. My twin sister." Raphael uttered slowly.
"Twin." Greg spoke.
"T...Twin Sister." Karen added with difficulty.
Greg clenched his teeth as well as his fists. "I have a granddaughter." His dumbfounded majestic face seemed to be aged more in these few moments. His eyes started watering and his lips made a pucker. The large old man with height of 6'2 crying with a pout made the sight extremely comical.
"We have a granddaughter." Karen was not any better as she mumbled absent mindedly. She put her hand on her husband's upper arm to keep the balance as her eyes also teared up. Seeing this the still standing Harper moved swiftly and held her grandmother steady. Karen regained her attention and her trembling hands traced her granddaughter's features oh so softly as if sensing some precious gem. She did not dare to even press her fingertips in case it left bruise or something.
Harper felt embarrassed at this close scrutiny. She cheeks warmed up as she felt her grandfather's large hand covering her held and softly caressing her hair. Both old people sobbed while holding their granddaughter.
"Why am I feeling left out?" Raph asked while feeling conflicted at this reunion, which seemed more like a reunion than his reunion with them. His friends laughed heartlessly at him. Greg yanked his grandson in this group hug as well.
"ANDREW LYRIC VLAHOS. I SHALL KILL THAT BASTARD. LET HIM COME BACK FROM HIS YEARLY HONEYMOON. IF I DO NOT SQUEEZE OUT EVERY BIT OF GLOW THAT HOUND HAS COLLECTED FROM HIS HONEYMOON, I SHALL CHANGE MAY SURNAME." Not only the teenagers and Roman but also Gregory Vlahos stood stupefied in the Great Hall of the Vlahos Manor. Yes. It was not the old man who cursed out. It was Karen Vlahos; Andrew Vlahos' super virtuous, elegant, loving mother who was fed up with these father-son drama which was going on for decades and he dared to hide this huge thing from them, finally let out her steam at her son.
"AND YOU. YOU HAVE CLEARLY VISITED IGNYS VILLA. EVEN IF IT WAS ONLY THREE TIMES, HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU NOT REALIZE THAT THERE WAS AN EXTRA CHILD IN THEIR HOUSE? HOW COULD YOU BE SO OBLIVIOUS OF SOMEONE'S EXISTANCE?" She turned to her husband who was as liable for the situation as her son. Stubbornness of both of them resulted in her missing out on her grandchildren's' growth.
