Wishpered Promises Of LoVE

Older siblings

   "But then how did Mrs. Leena Carlos get to know about this?"Tune asked, particularly to no one. As she could not match the missing dots at anyhow.
   "Leena Carlos? As in Ryan Carlos's wife?"Rehan asked to get sure.
   Tune just hummed in response…still lost in her own thoughts…just when she heard,"I told her about this."
    This one statement caught the others present in the room off guard…not knowing what to say now.
  Each pair of curious eyes were projected at Rehan…who just stated the outrageous statement.
   "May I know why you did it?"Tune asked, arching her eyebrow at him.
   "And why would you say something like this to a total stranger?"Azel could not help but ask helplessly.
   "Princess, she is not a total stranger…rather Mr. Carlos is one of Daddy's clients and a good friend of his as well.
   And so…"Hrew didn't know why Rehan would do something this stupid. His that action was about to cause a typhoon at the Edward mansion.
   Azel gasped…guessing what might have happened,"Do…does Daddy know about this?"Azel asked, crossing her fingers praying that her fear should not come true.
   Hrew slowly nodded her head…making Azel get almost a heart attack. Her eyes were so wide as if her eyeballs would come out at any moment soon.
    Rehan's eyes also widened..he never thought that it might lead things to something this messy. He never thought that his father-in-law would know the Carlos family this closely. Shut! What has he done? What was he going to do now?
   "Relax, Princess, Re. It's nothing to worry about.
  Yeah, Daddy had heard it from Mr. Carlos..but later on Momma and Hri convinced Daddy. And now it's alright. So there is no need to panic for that which has already happened,"Tune assured them.
   "Was uncle very upset regarding this?"In all this while it was the first time, Rehan opened his mouth.
  "Yeah, he was at first. But later on, all of us had a talk…and momma, me and Star somehow managed to agree Daddy that things are not like that…it can never be.
   So, it's all okay now. Just both of you stay careful so that none of you burst the bubble once again in front of him or anyone else. This matter should remain within these four walls and the four of us,"Hrew suggested as if he was conspiring against someone.
   All of them nodded at his plan. "But you didn't tell us, Re…why did you disclose the matter to that lady?"Hrew again asked…curiosity was evident in his voice.
   Rehan cleared his throat…he gulped in fear knowing he was going to get a good scolding now…and if things get worse, he might get a few beatings as well.
   "Actually…that…that me..I..was…"he stuttered badly.
  "Hmm…you?"Azel anticipated him to say the next parts and complete his sentence. "I was jealous,"Rehan stated looking here and there as he could feel all the gazes fixed upon him. Azel was about to say something…more like burst upon him, before he started saying once again,"After our wedding, when you went to bring something to make me eat…she and her son came to me."
  A bit of flashback:
"Please come back quickly…I miss you already,"Rehan mumbled, looking towards the disappearing figure of Azel who just went to get some food for Rehan.
  He had a smile etched at the corner of his lips..his eyes were looking at the love of his life with an undying..perpetual…unfathomable emotion called LOVE.
   "Excuse me, Mr. Tyler?"A man's voice drew his attention. Rehan looked towards the unknown man who just called him.
   "Hi, I'm Shawn Carlos,"the man named Shawn forwarded his hand towards Rehan.
  "Oh, hi..I'm Rehan,"Rehan shook hands with Shawn who smiled brightly at him*(Rehan)* as if he*(Shawn)* just discovered something great. "Yeah, I know you…after all, who doesn't recognize the gold medalist entrepreneur?"Shawn's words made Rehan smile awkwardly. Rehan still feels shy and kind of awkward, not knowing exactly how to react when people praise him like this.
   "Thanks for the compliment,"Rehan scratched the back of his neck. Shawn was about to say something when the lady beside him forwarded her hand in front of Rehan,"And I'm Leena Carlos…the mother of Shawn,"Rehan was a bit startled at the sudden interruption of the lady. Though he could not really understand why Shawn brought his entire family to meet with him…but nonetheless he shook hands with Leena as well,"Hello, Mrs. Carlos. Nice to meet you."
   "Nice to meet you too, dear,"she gave him a warm smile, making Rehan smile too. "Mom, stop it. Let me handle this. I'm talking, right?"Shawn interrupted his mother…although he meant to whisper the words to his mother…but Rehan heard it as he was standing too close to them.
   "Shut up, Shawn. I can't wait forever for you to HANDLE this,"she rolled her eyes at her son and made him huff in anger. Rehan cleared his throat to gain the attention of the mother and son,"If you don't mind me asking, is everything alright?"
   "Yes, Mr. Tyler..actually…,"Shawn started but got interrupted by his mother once again,"Rehan dear, leave him. Let me tell you the matter,"Leena held Rehan's hand as if they had known each other for so long. She leaned towards him, making him baffled. Rehan looked at the lady in confusion, she was literally invading his personal space and he doesn't like that. But respecting the lady's age, he didn't say anything.
   Leena looked here and there as if to see whether anyone was looking at them or not…and when she was sure that they were nowhere near the center of attention of anyone, she whispered,"The girl who was with you just awhile ago, her name is Azel, right?"
   Rehan nodded his head..not knowing what the lady wanted to know exactly. "She is Andrew's daughter?"It was more like a question than a statement.
  "Yeah, she is."
  "You're friends with the Edward's, aren't you? I heard that today's bride Tune Edward is your best friend…so you must be very close with the Edward family,"her eyes were filled with curiosity. Rehan didn't understand what she has to do whether he has a good relationship with the Edward's or not? It's his personal matters…why does she need to know all these?
  "Yes, I'm very close with Edward's..and Tune is my best friend. But Aunty, may I know why are you asking all these? Is there something you want me to do?"Rehan could not help but ask this time..till now he was sure that Leena needed something from Rehan. But the question was what?
   Here, Leena's eyes glimmered in happiness hearing Rehan,"Yeah, dear. Just do us a little favor. You seemed close with Azel as well…ha-ha. Of course, you must be..after all, she is like your younger sister,"Rehan's eyes widened at her statement…he felt as if someone just hammered in his heart, crushing it into so many tiny little pieces. He was about to deny her when she spoke up again without giving him a chance to speak.
  "So, I just wanted you to persuade her to meet my son once…I mean to go on a date with him, you know. It would have been great if you could make her to talk with him today on this event..you know, in that way, they could get the chance to know each other better,"this time Rehan's jaw hardened hearing the woman who was blabbering all sorts of nonsense how she will set up her son and Azel.
   Rehan looked towards Shawn with a hard gaze who was busy looking at Azel as she was coming back towards Rehan with a plate.
   "Sorry but I can't do that,"Rehan denied them flatly, making them look at him in confusion. "And why so?"The lady asked, this time her voice was not as sweet as before. Rather it was a bit rude now. How ironic! Shouldn't it be Rehan, who should get angry with them? In which angle he looks like a brother to Azel?
   Rehan knew it was of no use losing his temper here…on these people who didn't even know his relationship with Azel. But what can he do? The igniting fire that was burning in his heart was making it impossible for him to cool down.
  "Because she is my wife, Rehan Azel Edward…not my younger sibling whom you could set up with your son, Mrs. Carlos. And I'm close with the Edward's not just because Tune is my best friend but also because I'm the son-in-law of the Edward family.
   Hope Mr. Shawn Carlos would understand the situation and this matter will end here for good. Because I certainly don't appreciate someone else other than me to look at my wife with some other meaning,"Rehan stated gruffly not wanting to stand there anymore,"I shall take my leave now,"and with that he walked towards Azel before she could reach where all of them were standing.
   "Let's go, sweetheart. I'm hungry…please feed me,"he gave a puppy face to Azel who laughed at his antics…she could not help but ruffle his hair. He was looking so cute after all.
  He gave her a wide smile and planted a quick kiss on her cheek without anyone noticing them…she looked at him with wide eyes while her cheeks turned red immediately making him grin,"I love to see my affect on you, Baby."
   "Shut up, you shameless man,"she hit him lightly on his arm…making him laugh before they proceeded from there…leaving two people behind whose mouth's were hanging open in the air.
  Back to the present:
As soon as Rehan ended the flashback story both Tune and Hrew started laughing their hearts out. While Azel blushed hard..hearing the story. This boy was seriously crazy…who reacts like this on such a trivial matter?
  "Don't laugh. That woman was so eager to send them on some nonsensical date. And that son of her's was literally ogling at my Wild cat. How could I keep my calm?"Rehan pouted helplessly.
   Hrew patted his back with a sympathizing look,"I can totally understand your feelings, Buddy. After all, I have faced such situations so many times.
   I don't understand why the hell when people see a bit older boy and a small petite girl together, they only assume them to be siblings?
   In which angle me and Star or you guys look like siblings? We don't even have any facial similarities as well,"Hrew whined remembering the dreadful times he was approached with a proposal for his wife and was also assumed to be her elder brother as well.
  "Maybe it's just that…both of you look too old in comparison with us,"Tune teased the boys, making them to shot her a death glare. "Yeah, we are too young to get married to oldies like you guys, you know?"Azel also added being the mischievous queen that she was.
   "Is that so?"Rehan asked with a smirk, making her nod her head. "So, young lady…let's see who will save you from this old man now,"saying Rehan was about to hold her hand…but before that she started running away for her life.
   "I'll save myself, you old man. Catch me if you can,"Azel's voice echoed as she swiftly ran outside the cabin…making him follow her from behind,"You just wait…let me get ahold of you once."
   And with that the door got closed but Rehan and Azel's giggles were still heard from outside of the cabin.
   This whole floor was reserved as it was a VIP area..only the president and his family with members or people Rehan would approve of could enter this floor. So, it was not a problem for them to play around like kids.
   Tune giggled at their craziness. But soon she was trapped in between the sofa and her husband who gave her a sly smirk,"So, I'm an old man, hmm?" "What do you think?"Tune asked mischievously.
   "I think it's time to let you know what this old man can do,"and with that he pressed his lips with hers…showering her with all the love and passion he feels towards her.
She kissed him back with the same fervor..sealing their beautiful love with a sweet kiss.
—--------
  Later that evening at around 6pm,
Both Rehan and Azel were walking around in a park. The park was dimly lit with the lamp posts that were designated a few steps away from each other.
   Few people were seen walking here and there while children were busy playing and running around the whole park. There was still time for dusk. The sun was setting slowly…leaving its orangish-red emblem behind indicating that another day was going to end soon.
   Rehan's right hand was entwined with Azel's left one. He gave a light squeeze in her hand..making her look at him. But he was looking at a couple…in front of him.
   They were an elderly couple who were also walking while holding each other's hand just like them. The love they had in between them was clearly visible by the way they kept looking at each other.
  Azel's lips curved upwards into a smile,"One day you and me." She said, making him smile wider while he shifted his gaze from the couple to his wife who was beside him.
   He brought their intertwined hands near his lips before placing a kiss on her hand,"And just like this I will hold your hand then as well."
   She kept her head on his chest,"You know, you are the Prince charming that every girl dreams of…just like it's stated in the fairytales or novels." Her eyes were fixated on him…those ocean blue orbs were shimmering with love…immeasurable love.
   He stroked her hair gently placing another kiss at the crown of her head,"I don't know all that. But I'm surely well aware about the fact that I have got a Princess in my life…and she is not some fictional character. She is my queen…my real life queen, who has made me the person I am."
   Azel didn't know what to say anymore…how to express the things he always makes her feel. He makes her feel like the luckiest girl alive on earth…and indeed she was..to get him.
   "I love you…so much more than I would ever be able to express,"she whispered, looking at him…gazing at his magnificent pair of honey brown eyes. She could spend an eternity just by looking into his eyes…and she is sure that she would never get bored of watching the love that his eyes are filled with.
  "I love you too..too much more than you could ever imagine,"Rehan cupped her face lovingly. Her eyes glimmered in joy  while the smile…the breathtaking smile of hers broke out on her lips. GOD! He could even give up his own life with the heartiest smile…just to see her happy like this.
   She pulled his cheeks lightly making him laugh at her antics. He also did the same with her…giggling heartily at their own actions.
   Suddenly, Azel's eyes fell on something as her eyes sparkled like glitters…Rehan followed her gaze to find an ice-cream cart was at their opposite side.
   "No, Wild cat…you are not going to have ice cream. I won't allow that,"before Azel could even make the demand, Rehan denied her immediately. "Re, please..just one. One ice-cream probably would not hurt me, right?"She asked him cutely.
   "No, Princess. No means absolutely no. You are not having even one bite of ice cream.
   Did you forget what had happened the last time you had it? I can't allow you to have it after knowing the fact that how severe your cold allergy is. I can't risk your health..not even on the basis of your cute persuasions,"he pinched her nose making her pout.
   "Please, Re…please…please…please. Just one. It won't harm me,"she kept on pleading to him while he was busy, fixing her hoodie which was absolutely fine from the very first. "Please..I will take the medicines once I get home. Please, na?"She was now acting like a cute little kid.
   Rehan cupped her face,"Love, it's not good to have something that can make you sick and then have the medications for defense. It's harmful for your health…and I can't see you in pain, Princess. It hurts me more to see you writhing in pain due to the rashes that you get whenever you have something cold or you catch cold.
   I will buy you anything else that you want to have…just not this one, sweetheart. Please,"Rehan pleaded helplessly.
   "Fine, I won't have it,"Azel sighed, pouting cutely. She knew he was not letting her have that for her own sake. She also knows he can take everything…but he can't see her in pain. So not to add up to his worries more, she let go of the wish…reluctantly.
   But the sadness didn't go unnoticed by Rehan. He knew how these small things…small gestures can make his Baby the happiest. And he also knows that if today she persisted with him a little more, then he would have given in to her. But he would have been very worried about her health then. Hence, she let it go just so that he doesn't worry much.
   "Okay, fine. But just one ice-cream and for two months, you are not allowed to have any cold things. Also after having the ice cream, you are going to have your medicine without any tantrums, okay?"Rehan's words did the magic to lighten up her mood. She looked at him happily,"Really?"
   Rehan smiled at her excitement over such a small matter,"Yes, really.
   I can't see sadness in this ocean, Princess…only happiness has the place to reside in here,"he pointed towards her eyes which showcased all her emotions.
   "There will be no sadness here…because I have my this genie*(while pointing her index at Rehan)* with me to give me the bundle of joy always,"she exclaimed in happiness…expressing her love for him.
   "Now let's get our ice creams,"she said excitedly just like a kid. He laughed seeing her. But before they could move, Rehan's phone started ringing.
  "Re, the ice-cream vendor is moving away his cart…you answer the call, I will get the ice creams,"Azel informed him.
  "Wait, I am coming,"Rehan said hesitantly.
  "There is no need, Mr. Answer the phone..it must be important. I will be back in a jiffy,"saying she hurried towards the ice cream cart while Rehan sighed.
   "She and her lover ice cream,"he shook his head while answering the phone.
………Precap:
   A car was moving fast on the almost vacant road. Though it was going at a great speed, one can say that the driver of the car was a skilled person by the way the car was being driven so smoothly.
    Suddenly, a truck came from the other side without any prior notice…the driver of the car perhaps noticed the truck beforehand as the car took a sharp turn to avoid the collision.
   And thankfully, the truck passed away without harming the car. But in the sudden ordeal, the car lost its balance.
   A loud crashing sound was heard resulting the car in colliding with a giant tree…only a faint scream was heard before everything turned quiet.
