Ryan, the main character of the story, is very ambitious to improve the relationships between his father and Matthew's father. There was a fight between his and his uncle's family. There was a greedy person, Mangesh (Ryan's uncle) who did not want t...
"So, let me give you an intro about the next incident, before reciting," Matthew began.
"The next part is all about our meet after around two months," he added.
"Ok. It's interesting," I said.
"See, you directly come to the story, I don't like suspense," Radhana said.
"Ok," Matthew squinted.
(Flashback)
I was heartbroken. No one would believe me but in thise two months, my daily routine was to get up, check my phone, eat my breakfast, lunch, whatever, and again sleep.
I fall sick.
Then, my mother took me to the terrace to get some fresh air.
She said to me," I know the reason which resulted to your this situation. The person about whom I am talking is Ryan. Am I correct??"
I was shocked.
"How...." I was about to ask her but she interrupted me.
"I know your as usual question, how do you know?? Beta, I kept a keen observation on you since last three months. Your behaviour was abnormal, means unpredictable. Therefore, on the day of your last met, I was there. I was present there as a patient listener.
That was the first day I saw Ryan. When I saw him, I was just deep in thought that have we have met before??
It seemed as if we were known to each other. Though it was not fully correct but partially," she ended.
"Partially!!! What do you mean, mom," Matthew inquired.
"Ugh*!!! Ok, listen.
I was not able to remember that where I met him but was sure that we had met before.
You know that I have a habit of noting down all the things in a diary. My daily work, experience, whom I met, whom I am missing and all those stuff.
Therefore, I checked all those. And found a picture, the picture of a person who was alike as Ryan. The photograph was of Manith," she continued.
I was stunned to hear all this. But concentrated on what mother said.
"That photo was of 20 years back. It was the first and last time we met. On the day of my wedding, he was there but disguised. He came to me and gave a gift in my hand and left. There was a small note there.
The latter was in a cold tone,"
I am Mangesh's big brother. Due to some misunderstandings we are not living together. But due to our bad relationships, I can't turn away my face from my duty. Please do tear it off after reading, and don't let Mangesh know about it and the gift also must be kept with you only. It is my humble request that tell him that you don't know who gave you the gift. I have trust on you. I know you will do as I said because if you said then his anger will burst and I don't know what will he do with himself and me also. My blessings are there with you both always. Live a happy life. May god shower on you a fruitful life. ~ Thank you.
I was very much angry on your father as he hide this truth from me but all my anger shed off when I saw the beautiful gift. It was a beautiful heart-shaped necklace. And do you know, when I opened it, there was my and your father's photograph.
"Mom," I interrupted her. "Is it the same necklace which you never let me touch even and once I did so, so you did not talk to me for a day???
"Wow, my son. You still remember it." She smirked.
"Mom, pls continue. I want to listen further," I said.
"Ya, listen.
And when I saw the photograph, I was sure that Ryan and your uncle were having the same faces. I had a strong belief, that Ryan was his son. And see, it is the truth.
I remained stunned, with my mouth opened wide.
"Maa, how do you know?? W-wh-who- who told you??" I asked her in a stunning voice.
"Hmm... I was knowing, you will ask this only. You are anxious after knowing this. No need, I know this. And how, let me tell.
I wanted to know that how did you meet that person. And so I tried different - different ways for that. By keeping an eye on you and what not I haven't tried and at the end I was successful.
One day, you received a message. At the moment, a ruse clicked in my mind. I decided to check your chats.
Therefore, to my luck you left the phone at home only on that day.
I went back home to check your phone and after reading tour chats it was clear to me that Ryan is your brother and you are also known to it.
Now, I and you only know the truth. Only!! You understand what I mean."
"Ya, mom. I should not let father know about it until he stands on his promise," I said.
"I think so you know who is he," he added.
"Ya, I know. Ryan!!!" My mother said.
As soon as these words were uttered from her mouth, my eyes fell on a person peeking from beside the bushes. He was Ryan.
As soon as, I saw him, at the furst instance I wanted to wave at him but then only I remembered that he said that we will meet as friends but he didn't even do that.
He did not even wish to make a phone call to me that are you alive??
I smiled at mom and started to go inside.
My mother even noticed Ryan.
As soon as I started leaving, she held my hand and said:
"I know you are angry on him. But it is better if you go and burst out the anger on him rather than keeping it in mind. I suggest you to go and talk to him and take out all your anger and then listen to what he wants to tell you,"
I nodded and she went.
I went downstairs to him.
We both just stared each other. No one, as the courage to speak anything.
