We Broke the Tradition

Chappy 21 : Dinner

~Lyle's POV~

as I arrive to the place they texted me I saw my family and Melanie's family talking , laughing , and eating .. as I walk slowly towards them I saw Melanie .. and she smiled at me .. tsk .. I know where this talking thing will go ..

'am I late ?'

I interrupt them .. they turn around to look at me and my mom smile ..

'no honey , you're right in time ..'

I look at them individually and I saw Mr.Goarge Jhonson .. the father of Giana .. his here cause his the stepfather of Melanie .. tsk .. to the fact that he just marry the mother of Melanie cause he doesn't have a choice ..

'sit down my son ..!'

I followed as what my father said ..

'ahm what is it mom ?'

I ask stupidly ..

'ahm , okay honey .. you don't have a choice Lyle but to marry Melanie ..!'

I knew this would happen .. I take a deep breath ..

'no I don't want to .. I love someone else mom ..!'

I said calmly ..

'then forget about that someone else Lyle .. you have a choice but to marry Melanie , wether you like it or not ..!'

my mom said in an angry tone ..

'I WON'T --- fuck .. now what ? to let go my happiness and to deal with loneliness and sadness ? I love you but I know you can handle our family's company without me .. and what ? I will tell my Love that I don't have a choice but to marry other woman than her ..? that's the stupid excuse I won't tell .. and that's the stupid thing I won't do .. I rather kill myself than marrying a girl I don't love ..!'

I said .. making them speechless ..

'Mark , your uncle Goarge and the others .. did they fight for their love ? no cause they don't want to be selfish .. they want there family will be happy for them ..!'

'are they happy ? is there family happy seeing there son suffering in secret ..? yes they don't want to be selfish .. Mark , do you know where is Mark right now ..?'

I pause and they are just listening ..

'Mark is in his lover's house .. he fix everything just to be happy and to be free from all the crying and loneliness he been through .. and he's now happy ..!'

I tightened the hold of my glass ..

'Uncle Goarge , are you happy for where you are right now ..? are you happy living your fix marriage family while your family is crying there and you'll be there for them ..? are you happy leaving your 3 kids and your wife out there , crying over you ..?'

I continued ..

'that's enough Lyle ..!'

my dad said and glared at me .. I just smile and they look at me in disbelief ..

'you , you dad .. you run away from your family cause you don't want to marry other girl other than mom and decided to run your own company .. why did you run away and forget your family , huh ..? cause you know you can't be happy without mom , right dad ..? or should I follow what you did ..? run away from you guys and forget that I was part of this family ---

'I SAID ENOUGH ..!'

my dad stood up while holding his drink tightly ..

I stood up and leveled my dad's ..

'what ? annoyed ? cause it's the fact ? now you're like your family dad .. persuading his son to marry a girl he doesn't love .. we are not the selfish here , YOU .. you guys are the selfish here not US ---

and by that he punch me making everyone to gasp .. but I don't feel pain by his punch .. I stood up ..

'and by the way .. I'm here to say something important for me .. I impregnated the girl I love ..!'

and by that I went to the washroom .. washing the blood that is on my lips ..

I saw uncle Goarge went inside ..

'you know what you're so cool out there ..!'

he said while washing his hands .. I look at him ..

'thanks , and by the way uncle .. don't you want to be with your family again ..?'

I ask still looking at him ..

'well , I want to but I feel that I don't belong there anymore ..!'

'why did you say so ..?'

'cause when I get there I saw Luke hugging Shaira my wife .. Luke is Shaira's childhood friend and he has a feelings towards my wife and it's not possible that Shaira will fall for him ..!'

he said in a sad expression ..

'you know , that girl I impregnated ..? his your daughter , Giana .. I love your daughter uncle ..!'

'you mean Shaira's daughter ? my daughter ..! how was she ? how's my children ? how's Shaira ..?'

'they're doin' great , Giegie and Mark get back together .. Gio ? Gio find a Job and looking forward to find a right girl for him .. and your wife ? she's missing her husband ..!'

he smiled .. and he tap my shoulder ..
