Bryan's Mismatched

Cheers 🍾🥂

Bryan and Anya had a great night. Amelia woke up before them and was preparing food.

"Hey you two, had a great night right?". Amelia asked on sighting Bryan and Anya.

"Yeah, we slept well, right Anya?". Bryan asked her.

"Yes, we did, i mean the weather was great, the comfy bed...."

"Pretending like she doesn't know what I'm talking about ". Amelia intruded.

"Can we eat breakfast now, we have somewhere to go, Amelia please dish out the pudding ". Bryan sat down and requested Anya sit beside him.

Anya's POV(within her)
I really hope that when we get there, there will be no chaos between Bryan and his family. I just want him to be at peace with his mom and sister. When we get there first. Goddess Sita please do something. Rose shouldn't create a mess. I would have gone to the temple but there are none here. I still have my little idol, that's enough of a temple.

"Anya! Anya! " Amelia calls out loud.

"Yes yes, were you talking to me?".

"What are you thinking about? we've been calling out to you".

"I'm sorry, i was just missing my home".

"Soon we will visit your home". Bryan collected Anya's pudding from Amelia and passed it to her.

" Okay ".

*At Bryan's house*

"Lucas! Lucas! My son has been missing for weeks and you don't want to go out there and look for him?".

"Stop pestering me, and I'm trying to concentrate on what I'm doing on this laptop, please save your words for another day when I'm all ears".

"I think I understand what this is all about now, Bryan is your ex -wife's son , there is no way you don't know about his whereabouts, because you guys are like beans and rice. You two care about only yourselves. And I'm sure that he is with that forsaken homeless girl, by name, Anya".

"Your plans are for my son not to be with any girl, because Rose, from what you told me last time is now a low class too like Anya, what is your problem?".

"My problem is that my son deserves the best girl ".

"All round in your own perspective is all about being rich ?".

"Lucas, I'll find another girl for him".

"He will marry Anya , whether you like it or not! that's the end of this discussion ".

"The end of what? i started the discussion and I'll end it, He won't marry any low class, Now that's the end of the discussion!".

*Isla intervenes *

"Mom? Let Brother be with the girl his heart is racing for ".

"And who is she?"

"Anya, of course ".

"Isla, you too?".

"Mom, please for my sake let Bryan go ahead and marry Anya. I've realised that she's simply the best, mom please, as your only daughter won't you listen to me? I've brought pain to my brother concerning his decision". Droplets of tears roll down her cheeks.

They heard a knock on the door. Isla quickly dries her tears and went to open the door.

"Bryan! ". She hugs him tightly.

"Where did you go son we all missed you" Isla shot the door as Bryan, Amelia, Zita and Anya trooped in.

"Zita? Am I really seeing clearly?" Lucas dropped his laptop on the sofa and stood up to take a closer look at her.

"It's me , yes, Zita".

"I thought you were confirmed dead". Lucas tries to give Zita a hug but she rejects it.

"I'm no longer your wife, you know right? You cheated on me because of her right? I was chasing my dream, till I met you, as a banker, Bryan was a threat to my work but i still agreed to deliver him , but after finding out that you took my hard earned salary to give your Mistress and leave me there to die, Although someone paid for my delivery fee and I delivered. I decided to not carry a barrier to my dreams since there was no love in between us anymore and Bryan was a symbol of our love , I gave the instructions you heard ". Zita explained.

They heard a knock again. Amelia went to open the door this time around on seeing Rose , she ensured she wasn't coming in with rage.

"What are you doing here Rose?". Amelia whispered so that other family members won't hear their discussion.

"I promise, i came with peace, just let me in please".

"Fine, come in". Amelia opened up properly and she entered.

Her presence, left everyone silent. She went straight to Bryan, held his hand and began talking.

"I , Rose have offended you greatly. My ego , pride, selfishness, materialism, jealousy, envy ruined our relationship but i know it got ruined for good, because what i had for you couldn't have been love . Love is a strong feeling of affection, care and sacrifice. But i couldn't sacrifice my happiness to see you happy. I couldn't let go of you, to see you happy with Anya. It's Obsession. My displacement now, has taught me affection, care, sacrifice, humility and patience. I humbly beg your pardon. Anya is simply the best, if she makes you happy, go ahead and marry. I'm also sorry for the ups and downs I caused in your relationship. I turned Anya against you, i lied about you to her. I'm very sorry, find a place in your heart and forgive me, Bryan ". Rose regrets.

"I forgave you long ago"

"Really? "

"Yes!".

"I have moved on what about you?". Bryan showed concern.

"I came to invite you to my wedding ceremony, I've also moved on".

"Hey, come here". Bryan spreads his arm open requesting for a hug .

"I'm turning down your hug, i hope your not offended, friends ?".

"Why will i, friends ".

" So from today I'll relationship is now called friendship". Rose defined her relationship with Bryan.

As the atmosphere was filled with rounds of applause.

"Ma'am Ava, this calls for a celebration right? Isla ?".

"Yes, it calls for a celebration that Bryan and Anya are together, even stepmom and dad". Isla brought Red wine, white wine, and ice wine .

"Yes, this calls for a celebration". Ava finally spoke.

"Thanks ma'am , your approval means a lot"Anya gives Ava a hug.

"Zita, I'm sorry about the past, it's the past now, let's live together now, it's the present".

"yes, Ava is right, I'm ready to accommodate here with us". Lucas hands over a glass of wine to her.

"Who I'm I'm not to forgive you guys, the deed is already done, but we can fix the future ". Zita collects the glass of red wine.

"Now everyone is together! let's cheer in 3, 2,1". Amelia jubilated over the coming together of the entire family.

"🥂 CHEERS 🥂".
