Loving The Sky

Chapter 58

"Did you hear about the verdict?" Nick asked, handing the towel to Ardeth.

Ardeth nodded his head as he took a seat in the stands, as he watched Daniel teach Jamie about Goal keeping.

"Your father is punished with life time imprisonment and Tristan for five years for hiding the facts and helping your father." Nick spoke, "Rachel is pregnant."

"Tristan's fiance?" Ardeth asked.

"Yes, I feel bad for her."

"And Tristan too, he was influenced by my father." Ardeth sighed.

"But he still had his own mind to think and take desicions, it's Karma." Nick shrugged.

"True." Ardeth said, "I want to meet Tristan."

"Why?" Nick frowned.

"Even though, we don't share a good bond, he is still my brother and I want to speak with him."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Hope you are happy now." Tristan said looking at Ardeth, as they say in the prison's meeting room, "Did you come here to mock me?"

"Tristan, you are my brother." Ardeth said calmly, "Things were never good between us that's an another story, but I can't deny the fact that you are my big brother."

Tristan stayed silent.

"I am sorry for whatever things have happened between us, as much as I can remember we have always been great brothers, and you stood by my side always until things drifted apart because of our birth givers." Ardeth said, "You have been a good brother, and maybe you would have been a good one if things hadn't happened the way they did, maybe if life gives us another chance, we could try and rekindle our bond and start afresh, forgetting everything that has happened. I hope you will give us a chance."

"I am sorry." Tristan said as his eyes got moist, "You were young, when things went wrong, I should have stepped up and supported you, but I failed you. I hope someday life would give me a chance to be the big brother that you deserve." He said holding Ardeth's hand.

Ardeth nodded his head.

"Are you meeting him as well?" Tristan asked.

Ardeth shook his head, "I don't want to see him."

"I understand." Tristan nodded.

"I should leave now." Ardeth said standing up as the police officers walked inside the room to take Tristan back to prison, as the visiting time ended.

"Ardeth." Tristan said, "Please take care of Rachel and our baby, I would forever regret for not being there for them, but please take care of them for me." He cried.

"I will." Ardeth assured.

"Nick, where are you?" Ardeth asked over the phone as he walked outside the prison. "I am outside, and I can't see you or the car."

"Ardeth, Peter suffered a heart attack and he was rushed to the hospital, since he has your and my number in his emergency contact list the hospital people called us, since you were busy I am going to see him." Nick explained the situation about Peter, the College Janitor.

"Oh shit, I have five missed calls from unknow number." Ardeth said checking his phone, "I hope he is fine, I will reach there shortly." He said disconnecting the call.

"Jamie... Where are you?" Ardeth asked.

"In the Garage dude." Jamie answered.

"Could you please send up a ride that could pick me up from the South City prison, I am stranded here without a ride and I am not able to find any cabs." Ardeth asked, "It's urgent, one of my close contacts are rushed to the hospital, and I need to go there."
