Hated Or Forgiven?

"Kiddo, come fast we have to be on time." My dad called me, from downstairs.

"I will just be there in 2 minutes" I replied. I am finding my sneakers. After finally getting one of them, I headed downstairs and we drove in our car to "Royal darbar".
So, this place is 20 minutes from our residence.
Royal darbar is one of the most famous place for staying, having meetings, weddings, get together, family time, birthday parties.
Clay's parents were the owner of this place. Clay's father is hotelier, and his mother is interior designer.

Clay also belongs to a high class family. Actually we both are the same, we are cute, studious, beautiful and handsome, our classmates often call us couple, as we are always seen together and Clay gets angry on this.

We reached their on time. People started to come. Media is also there asking few questions about the event, how did they get idea for this, to my dad and he is giving his best answer, I am impressed by the way, my dad replies to there questions.

I saw that Clay's family also reached there, after 5 minutes of our arrival.
I went towards them and greeted them. "Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, Hey Clay."

"Good evening, kiddo" Mr. Johnson said, Mrs. Johnson hugged me and said you're looking beautiful honey. "Hey pumpkin" Clay greeted me back.
"You are looking gorgeous" he whispered to me and I blushed.

And we went to our seats as the event is about to start. There are discussions about various things for helping the kids in the way people can, the event got over in nearly 3 hours and after that everyone got on there tables for dinner.

Obviously, Clay and my family, were together on a table and happy about the event going well, after dinner, we said goodbye to people for being there and then after everyone's gone, except for Clay's and my family. We were last to go, our parents said goodbyes to each other.
My parents get in the car and before me getting in. Clay asked to take my hand, I was staring at it stupidly but then took his hand in mine. I was feeling something while holding hands don't know what it was and ignored it.

Clay told me to revise for the test, I was looking like a Dumbo right now what was I thinking about staring at his hand, I told him to do the same and get enough sleep, so that he doesn't look like a zombie, and he told me to do the same so I also don't look like a zombie then we will be zombie partners in school😂. Clay and his stupid jokes.

I glared, he winked 😉 and then we both went in our cars and to our separate ways.
I can't stop thinking about him, he looked so handsome. But I didn't told him so. How can anyone look so good. I was so lost in my thought, until the car took a sudden U turn, tooking me out of my thoughts, my dad, asked Mr. Porter the driver, to take a U turn he's been on a phone call, hanging up the call, he looks like he's having a panic attack.
He asked Mr. Porter to drive fast. I don't know what just happened. Is everything alright? What did my father heard who was on the call ?🥺

I was in my own thoughts again my mother was trying to bring my father back to normal he broke down, he said broken words which I didn't understood but mom did looks like she was also gonna break down, and I won't be able to take it. I asked her what's the matter why are they both in such condition, did something went wrong at the charity, or work, is someone hurt.

My mom didn't replied but took my hand and was trying to keep herself stable until we reach the hospital. So I was left in the dark to think about all the wrong things that could have happened until I came across a familiar face and then my face went pale because I understood some things.

Author Note: Heyaa people, I know story is getting boring but next chapter will bring an unwanted twist. Who was on the phone call with Evelyn's dad? Why was he crying? Get ready for the twist and if you want to tell anything just comment!!
