Chapter 23: Brotherhood or Cutter

*****

After some planning, Ella, Exo, and Grace left the place after their discussion. Ella arrived at her house for lunch, coming an hour early to spend some time with her parents.

Ella Tinkled the bell and one of the maids opened the door. She greeted her and entered the house.

"Hey MOM!" Ella exclaimed. She was so excited to meet her mother after a long time. Sane was instructing the cook in the kitchen. When she heard Ella's voice, she came out to the dining hall and was surprised to see her.

"How. are. you.?" Sane spoke with great excitement.

"Still your daughter," Ella said. She placed both of her hands on her cheeks and blinked her eyes countless times, tilting her head slightly to the left. She looked so cute that anyone could fall for her. Both hugged each other. Meanwhile, Keris enters the scene.

"How's your Nuke?" Keris asked. The voice made both Ella and Sane look at him. He was descending the stairs but stopped in the middle and started talking. He folded his hands and was standing in the position looking at them.

"What's NUKE?" Ella asked. She creased her eyebrows out of surprise.

"The new startup somewhere abroad. You're gonna shift there and all that stuff," Keris replied.

"Oh! Nuuk..." Ella replied patting her forehead.

"Yea. That." Keris replied.

"How can you not know about the capital of Greenland?" Sane asked out of surprise.

"Mom. His Geography was weak in school," Ella said and both laughed out as hell.

"It's not Funny," Jason said with a higher tone as he was angry.

"You're making it funny," Ella said mischievously. Both laughed again.

Keris was fuming. He looks at both of them in anger grinding his teeth. He became red as the blood was running all over his body. He ran to her very fast. He was even about to tremble down the stairs but he didn't care the only thing he wanted at that time, was to kill Ella. He came and stood in front of her, made a fist of his right hand, and was about to punch on her face but Sane came in between.

"Stop! Enough is enough. Don't start a war in my house," Sane words were sharp.

"Tell her to say sorry..." Keris replied.

Sane looked at her with wide eyes and signaled Ella to say sorry to Keris but she didn't uttered a single letter.

"Ella!" Sane being serious, tilted slightly left where Keris was standing.

"What?" Ella asked confusingly despite knowing what she was talking about

"Say Sorry!" Sane said and rolled her eyes.

"Why?" Ella asked

"Because you were wrong!" Keris shouted.

"We are talking. You shut up and don't interrupt or else you will be the one saying sorry," Sane said in a serious tone. Keris realized that he could be in danger at this time. He kept his index finger on his lips to make himself quiet. "If you're still my daughter. DO AS I SAY," Sane got a bit higher.

"SORRY!" Ella said looking down at her feet. Meanwhile, in the middle of the conversation, "Ma'am, please taste this..." The cook shouted from the kitchen.

"I'll be back. Don't you dare to fight and tease each other again," Sane told Ella and Keris and left them alone.

"Sorry is done. Know thank you is left," Keris said with a lower tone. He moved closer to Ella while speaking.
