"Your Dad wants to you to have dinner here later." Aunt Claudette called me the next day.
"Okay. I'll be there later." I said.
"Still haven't talked to Caleb?"
"No. I was busy last night and I'm still busy today because of the cases that I wasn't able to take care of because of Tito Calvin's favor. But I will soon talk to him. I need to go Aunt Claudette. I still have things to do."
"Okay. Take care."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What happened to the Badeau case?" Hermes asked.
"I let it slip off a little." I said.
"Why? What happened?"
"Her boyfriend who turns out to be a friend of mine asked me not to."
"Love really is a magical thing."
"I don't want to hurt Franz. Even though Badeau got involved in that kind of business, she didn't want it in the first place she just inherited it. But I didn't totally gave it away. I gave Franz a deadline to change Badeau."
"Right decision. It is really hard to lose the one you love. So if you already found that person, never ever let go."
For some reason what Hermes said hit me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's Athena, Aunt Claudette." I said.
Aunt Claudette opens the door.
"You're late. We've been waiting for you. We have a guest tonight." Aunt Claudette said as I go inside and went to the dinning area.
"I was busy with a case. Guest?"
"Mr. Franco. Your Dad invited him to dinner."
"Sir, sorry I'm late."
"It's okay. I understand agents have lots of cases to deal with. By the way, Mr. Franco here is joining us for dinner."
"Good evening." Caleb said.
"Good evening Mr. Franco."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I heard about the Badeau case. I heard you let it go." Zeus said.
"What's the matter Sir? I gave her a one month deadline to change. Ara Badeau's Dad had just died and I'm pretty sure she's having a hard time controlling the business. She's still new. She's not yet qualified to be dealt with by Adelphos. Our target is his father and he died. His illness saved us time."
"Just forget that I said anything. I just really can't argue with you."
"That's why I always try not to argue with you."
Then there was silence.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I noticed you are not wearing your engagement ring. What's the matter? You are not keeping it a secret are you?" Caleb said.
"News travels so fast. But the reason why I'm not wearing a ring is that I didn't accept Apollo's proposal."
Caleb's face suddenly changed when he saw our family picture.
"Kate."
I heard Caleb suddenly whispered.
"What is it Caleb?"
"That girl on the left of your Aunt Claudette who is she?"
"That's my sister Katharin."
"Katharin?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." Aunt Claudette said.
"Who is it?" Zeus asked.
"Oh my gosh. Katharin!"
And there she was after a few years standing in front of our door. Katharin. She looked quite different when I last saw her. She's thinner than before and you can see it in her face that she had gone through a lot. When Dad saw her, he immediately hugged her. And I stood there like I had seen a ghost.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm so sorry Dad. I should have listened to you. I was blinded by love. I knew you disapprove greatly of Nicholas so Nicholas suggested we elope. So we did. I just made sure that you won't suspect it to protect him. You were right about Nicholas. He's not the right guy for me. He's not worth my love. But I was ashamed to come back so I decided just live with a friend and get a job. I didn't have the courage to go back until now. I'm really sorry Dad." Katharin said.
"It's okay Katharin. I understand you. I know you realize now what you have done is wrong. I forgive you Katharin." Zeus said.
"I had enough!"
Every bit of anger and even maybe jealousy in body just erupted.
"What a touching scene. I don't want to be the villainess here but I just had enough. I'm not telling you to nail her on the cross before you forgive her but you're just letting it go just like that? This just proves she's your favorite."
"Sophie.." Katharin said.
"It's always Katharin this Katharin that. Why can't you be more like Katharin? She's perfect. And I'm not. Bullsh!t. I try my best for Dad to like me and what happens? He still likes you. You're still his favorite. Alright I'm jealous. Because you are the reason why Mom died but you are still his favorite. He doesn't want me to be a painter so forced me to be an agent but he supports you in being a lawyer. I just proved now that really life is unfair. Being just like life you Dad is so unfair. But Dad despite everything I still love you. I care for you. I became an agent against my will because that's what you want. I go have dinner with you if you want me to even though every time we have dinner you ask where Katharin is and the reason why you asked me to be there because you miss Katharin. I care for you Dad but you don't care for me back. That's why I moved out and I guess now that Katharin is back you no longer need me. I might as well not be in your life anymore. It will just be like I never existed. Goodbye Dad."
I walked out.
"Athena! Wait!"
