Enduring Pain

chapter 6

dinas' brother pov

"dad did you tell her that -- " the minute I saw dinas' tears on her cheeks and the pictures or the " forbidden  pictures " the way I like to call them on the floor  scattered all over the place I knew dad told dina everything but then he interrupted my question by saying .

" NO DRAKE NO ! I DIDNT TELL HER SHE WAS RAISED BY HER GRANDPARENTS! "  he shouted so loud  . I thought my eardrums were going to explode .

so he didn't tell her the whole " truth "  .

dina looked at us as if we had three heads . i didnt blame her . This news are shocking . Although they aren't the full news .

" i was raised by my grandparents ? but how ? I mean I would have remembered ? right ? all i remember is being raised here   in this house . " she asked as she sat down at the chair . her eyes glassy . and she looked at the floor closing her eyes . As if trying to remember anything from her childhood .

" No no , not raised like all of your childhood . i took you when you started to learn how to walk " my dad answered her . and he looked at me to save him from this situation . and i knew why he wanted me to save him . because more questions will be asked by dina . but dad will not be able to answer them . Not yet at least . There is so much to tell  but not yet !

" Why ? WHY ! WHY ?? " she shouted as tears started cascading down her cheeks like a waterfall . WHY ? What a hard question !

" why what ? " dad replied to her question by a question trying to play dumb . While in fact it's not a time for playing . but i knew he needed to escape answering this . because behind this small " WHY" there is a book of answers and confessions .

" dad please . don't act like this . I need to know why ? are you even my parents ? " wow ! just wow .. why did she have to ask this ?

" what ! DINA ! Stop that . Ofcourse we are your parents . it's just like that . I don't have an answer for you . " he said putting his head down . and there i decided to interfere .

" dina . you are my sister . and these are your parents . but you need to understand that this is the whole thing . There is no more of the story . This is the whole truth" i lied . and I know it .

" so you are a part of this ? " she asked looking at me with disbelief . damn !

" part of what ?? this is not a plan . dina believe us ! " i told her as i looked at her and tears where about to fall from my eyes . my sister is hurt  .

" i don't want to believe anyone ! " she screamed and  ran to her room .

I was going to run after her but my moms' hand stopped me from doing so .

" you heard everything ? " i asked her .

" yes I did  " she said with so much sadness .

" why you didn't come in " my dad said as he  stood up .

" because if I did I would have told her everything . and telling her everything is not the right decision " she said  . we all sat in the office thinking about what to do .

i sat in my room and cried until there was no more tears . I cried all my pain out . but there is so much pain still !

why did they hide all of this ?there is more to the story . and I knew it . but first I need to act cool so they won't suspect anything and then i need to find my grandparents without them knowing  .  so I decided to go down and act like nothing happened  .

I washed my face and combed my hair . but i can still see my puffy eyes in the mirror .

i went down the stairs and they were all seated in the living rooM . Everyone deep in his own thoughts . even my mother who didn't say a word about the whole thing .

" hey everybody " i said with a smile plastered on my face . a fake one . i hope they believe it .

No one answered they just looked at me with shock . a minute I was crying my eyes out and now iam smiling . hmm .

" i know you are expecting to see me sad and crying . but i believe you . and when it's the right time to tell me why . I will be waiting . " i said with so much confidence in my sound . but under This confidence is a river of sadness .

my dad and mom got up and hugged me tightly .

" thank u " they muttered in my ear .

I hugged them back and looked at my brother from behind their back and he gAve me this look that said " you are lying " but i returned it with a big fat fake smile !

we broke the hug and then dad decided to tell us to go eat dinner out .

" how about we eat dinner out ? " he said grinning .

" umm i don't feel like it . i need to rest . You guys can go " i didnt feel like it really .

OH gosh . i have to go out to dinner with jason tomorrow . I can't stand him up ! This would be rude . I have to go , even though iam not in the mood . I have some investigations to do .

7:30 pm

i was in my room getting ready for my date .. no its not a date .. call it whatever you like .. A hang out ? a meet up ? whatever .

I dressed in a blue dress that went mid thigh . curled my hair . and started applying my make up . i went with a light one as usual . iam not this good with make up . Anyway there was still good 10 min for jason to come . so I went downstairs to wait for him .

drake was not here . mom and dad where in the kitchen putting the stuff they bought from the supermarket a while ago

" have fun at your date " they told me as the  bell rang .

" it's not a date . ugh . " They smiled in return .

I opened the door and jason stepped in .

" hey " he said giving me a small hug .

" hey " i said returning his friendly hug .

" you look beautiful ." he said to me smiling .

" um thanks " . u look good yourself too . he was wearing a black v-neck with jeans . casual . i like it .

We entered his car and went to a restaurant . The restaurant was all blue . just like my dress . it seems like a seafood restaurant . great i love it .

We sat on our table . talked about random things . and then ordered our food .

" so how are your parents doing ? " i asked him missing them .

" They are great . They say hi i also "

" oh they are here ? " i asked happy .

" no they are not . But they will come tomorrow  . my brother got this new job at the police station here in beirut and they are coming with him as a visit "

" great " i said sounding very calm but at the inside iam really happy and curious . maybe his brother can help me with my investigations . maybe he can detect where my grandparents live if I told him there names when i ofcourse know them . because iam damn sure my parents won't tell me where my grandparents live . if they are still alive ofcourse ! i hope so . the are the TRUTH !
