Arlon and Liliana - Love in The Midst of Family Feud

Sneaking to The Bond

Arlon's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Florian, had been grappling with their son's uniqueness for a while now. They believed that Arlon's friends, particularly Liliana, were somehow responsible for his "abnormal" behaviour. So, they decided to have a lengthy discussion in their quiet living room, their voices hushed in the late evening. As they sat on the plush couch, Mr. and Mrs. Florian exchanged worried glances, their minds filled with questions about their son's recent actions. They wondered if Liliana's influence was leading Arlon astray or if there were other factors at play that they hadn't considered yet. Deep in thought, they hoped that this conversation would shed some light on the situation and bring them closer to understanding their son better.

Mrs. Florian spoke first, her voice tinged with frustration. "Dear, I just don't understand why Arlon spends so much time with that girl, Liliana. It's like she has some kind of hold on him."

Mr. Florian sighed deeply, his brows furrowing in concern. "I know, dear. It's not just Liliana; he's always with her friends, too. It's like he's more comfortable with them than he is with us."

Mrs. Florian nodded in agreement. "And did you notice how he talks about his autism like it's something to be proud of? It's not normal, dear. He should want to be like the other kids."

"I understand your concerns, but maybe Liliana and her friends provide a sense of belonging for Arlon," Mrs. Florian suggested gently.

Mr. Florian nodded thoughtfully. "You might be right. It's just hard for me to accept that our son is different from other kids."

"I know it's not easy, but maybe Arlon's autism is something he embraces because it's a part of who he is," Mrs Florian replied, trying to offer a different perspective.

"Perhaps we should try to understand his perspective more," Mr. Florian agreed, his worry slowly turning into curiosity. "Let's talk to him and see if he can help us understand why Liliana and her friends mean so much to him."

Mr. Florian pondered for a moment before responding, "I think we need to observe him more closely. Maybe he's just going through a phase, and we shouldn't jump to conclusions."

Little did they know that this observation would lead them to a surprising discovery about Arlon and Liliana's bond. Late one night, Mrs. Florian quietly entered Arlon's room to check on her son. To her surprise, Arlon was not there. She quickly scanned the room, searching for any sign of where he might have gone. As she turned to leave, she noticed a faint glow coming from under Arlon's bed. Curiosity piqued, and she knelt and lifted the bed skirt, revealing a hidden door that led to a secret passageway. She furrowed her brow and glanced around the room, noticing an open window. As she approached it, she gasped in shock.

Mr. Florian, awakened by his wife's gasp, joined her at the window. Together, they peered out and saw a zipline extending from Arlon's window to the adjacent large mansion, which belonged to Liliana's family. The realisation hit them like a bolt of lightning—Arlon was spending his nights in Liliana's bedroom, and there was a secret connection between the two houses. They exchanged worried glances, their minds racing with questions about the nature of Arlon and Liliana's relationship. How long had this secret connection been going on? What were they doing in that mansion at night? The couple knew they had to confront their son and get to the bottom of this mysterious affair.

Mrs Florian couldn't believe her eyes. "Dear, do you see that zipline? Arlon is sneaking over to Liliana's house in the middle of the night!"

Mr. Florian nodded, his expression a mixture of shock and concern. "This is not normal, dear. We need to find out what's going on."

Mrs. Florian sighed, her voice filled with worry. "I can't believe our son would be involved in something like this. We need to talk to him and find out why he's sneaking out every night."
