The Last Agosti ✔

~* 35 *~

"What?! No way! She is Ara?!"

They stood at a reasonable distance from the entrance of the living room, in absolute shocked. So surprised that they wondered if she is even Ara Agosti or is she trying to play games.

Ella was slowly reviving from the shock.

"Wow" she chuckled softly after a long silence from three of them.

Her reaction got Diego to snap his head to her.

"What?!

Look at the coincident. This is totally unexpected, isn't it?" Ella suppressed the shock she was in. Never did she expected to see Luciana as Ara Agosti.

"Did we ever knew Luciana will be the Ara we were looking for? She was so closed to us yet we were looking everywhere else" Ella asked quite aghast.

'Why is it Luciana out of eight billion people? Why she?' the little voice in her, hissed unable to accept the fact that she is the one.
'And all that pain was for her? For Luciana?' she shut her eyes for a moment.

"She is not Ara, at least not until I have all the prove that says she is the one" Diego muttered.

Thiyagu on the contrary was in a confused state, he vaguely remember the name, Luciana but wasn't really sure what role did she played in Ella and Diego's life. Since being in silence helps one get more information hence he kept calm.

"I don't get it? Out of all those days she were in Agosti Firearms, she did not mention anything about her being Ara Agosti. Why?" Diego crossed his arms across his chest, while he studied the new Ara.

"Maybe she wanted to learn how to run the business because her father is dead already?" Ella threw in the most promising reason she could think of.

"Ohhh...." Thiyagu responded after the memory finally kicked-in of who Luciana is.

'The lady that was supposed to be hooked up with Diego' Thiyagu nodded obliviously to his surrounding and soon realised two pair of eyes were staring at him.

"Ops, sorry. That was a late realisation"

"Whatever the reason may be, Ella, we can't blindly believe anyone. That includes my father too" he barely said the last part.

Their discussion were cut short when the whispering from the living room turn louder. The men in business suits however made their way out nodding and indulged in a light chat with Diego and Thiyagu before heading out of the house.

"Diego, there you are. Come here, son." Bernardo called Diego in along with Thiyagu.

Ella remain outside the living room. She realised she no longer needed here, Ella sluggishly turned around to leave to her room.

"Ella!" An authoritative voice stopped her from moving further.

"Where do you think you are going? Aren't you supposed to join the rest?" Chandra came out of the living room. She looked quite disturbed, god knows what made her upset.

"I-I thought-" Chandra held a hand up stopping Ella from talking any further.

"You have gone through so much to find the girl who is now sitting inside, Ella. I don't think you should be exempted in knowing how Ara found herself" Chandra spoke loud enough for those inside the living room to hear.

"It's- it's alright, ma. I don't really need to-"

"Come" the motherly figure dragged Ella into the spacious living room. She walked pass Luciana alias Ara and pulled Ella down to sit next to her.
