I Fell For My Brother !?!

Chapter-20 Mystery

***One Week Later***

We were back home, in Virginia. I talked to Shawn about it and told him I was going to ask my father.

The same day when I went home I found my father alone in his study, smoking. As soon as he said cheerfully," Hey Sally! I didn't get to ask you earlier, but did you like the week in Bali?"

"Um, yeah, about that, I couldn't really enjoy the trip as I came to know something, that's been haunting me and that I want to ask you about...." I said nervously.

"Sure, go on.." He encouraged with a motion of his hand holding the cigarette.

"Um," I said as I showed him the passport," what is this supposed to mean?"

He saw it, I was watching his expressions closely, they didn't change much, as if already practised, he then denied everything, it all at once, saying," Oh! That, it's a printing mistake. And so that I don't have to remake this passport, I went with the flow of the mistake and made fake documents according to it."

I am not convinced.

"Are you really telling me the truth? Daddy?" I asked, doubt clearly reflecting in my voice.

"Yes, of course! Why would I ever lie!?!" He was also getting irritated.

"I don't know, you tell me." I said, giving him an irritated, doubtful look.

"Youngsters don't meddle in the elder's matters! I'm telling you the truth. You can leave now!" He said, well, more likely screamed with anger. I don't know what made him angry, but I was scared.

So I quickly ran and went to my room. After settling in a comfortable position on my bed I called Shawn.

"Hello," he said from that side as he picked the call.

Trying to ease the tension in my voice, I sang along.

"It's me. I've been wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet."

He somehow understood the pain, and replied, "Yeah, I'll be there in a moment." He said concernedly.

He always understood my signals, Damn! I think that's why we are best friends. He was here in a few minutes.

"We're you with Abby? Did I spoil your date? Is Abby angry with me? Is Abby planning how to kill me? Did I just make frenemies with your future wife, my future sister-in-law?" I bombarded Shawn with questions, trying to go as off the topic at hand as possible.

"No, is the answer to all the following questions. Now, tell me what happened." Shawn demanded.

"I don't know what to do! I mean, this is all so fucked up! I'm sure what the documents say is write but dad denies it all! Why is he even lying? I need your help to know what to do. Shawn, will you help me?" I finally said really close to tears.

He got up from the beanbag, where he was sitting, walked across the room and hugged me saying," Well,what do you want? To find the truth? Or to let it go?"

Even being afraid of what may be the truth, I mustered up the courage and said, "The truth."

"Is it too late now to say sorry?
Cuz, I miss writing more than any boody."

I'm really sorry that I couldn't update the previous Thursday... There are a few reasons...
1. I was sick, I had a terrible headache and a fever.
2. My mother hid the IPad from where I usually update.

But I am totally fine now and am writing again. I'm really sorry for the late update. Anyways, hope you enjoyed.
