I ❤ Papa

Chapter 8

"WEIIIIIIIII"

"Oh my god.....not him....."

"Are you alright? I heard you are hurt.....who attacked you? Tell me I will kill him...."

"No need to kill anyone....I am fine.."

"Why didn't you call me when you were attacked, instead of calling the local police?"

"You disappeared on us for years, how could I relay on you? Also it didn't come to my mind okay.....I was in a hurry and desperate to save my son"

"Whhhaaaaat? Someone also tried to hurt my Riju?"

"Shusshh....you will wake him up"

"I'm already awake papa....."

I look to my side and find Riju awake and rubbing his eyes. Suddenly he was engulfed and squeezed around. I had pry him away from this person.

"Stop that...you are squeezing him too tight"

"But, I missed my Riju sooo much"

"Good to see you back Uncle Yezun...." Riju says.

"See....he is happy to see me. Why aren't you happy to see your twin brother Wei?"

"I am happy and angry.....you disappeared on me without telling me anything and you come back after how long? 2 years......if you weren't working for the CIA I would have thought you were dead in some part of the world"

"Aww....don't be so hard on me. I am working this hard for both of you. Who else do I have except you both....well Ofcourse father too but he doesn't count."

"Did you come right away after the mission?"

"Yes, I went home and found the door open and the living room was a mess, I also found blood spurts on the floor. I knew someone was attacked here. I called the local police and they told me about your attack. I came here immediately"

"Did you tell dad you are back?"

"No.....I am scared to meet him. He will kill me for disappearing on you all"

"Well, you deserve it..."

"I didn't know my brother was such a bad person...." he starts fake crying and I roll my eyes.

I look at Yunlan to see him confusingly looking at us. It clicks my mind that he did not know about Yezun and seeing a same replica of me must have startled him.

"Yunlan.....this is Shen Yezun my twin brother...who works for the CIA and disappears most in our life"

"And Yezun...this is Zhao Yunlan...he is Riju's friend and the one who saved Riju...."

"Zhao??? Wei...is he?" I nod my head and look pleadingly at him. So that he does not tell anything about my past.

Yezun firmly looks at Yunlan and extends his hands for a shake. "Nice to meet you Zhao Yunlan....."

"Likewise!"

"Yezun.....can you take Riju and help him with lunch.....he hasn't eaten anything since morning"

"Okay, I will also bring some food for you both too..."

"Okay, thank you!"

"Riju...let's go!"

"Okay, uncle Yezun!"

As soon as they leave Yunlan sits beside me "What was that?"

"What was what?"

"Why did Yezun ýe ýe acted like that after hearing my name?"

"What are you talking about? He acted normally. That's how he acts around strangers....he is a CIA officer."

"Wei....I know you are lying to me and it has something to do with dad"

"It's nothing like that Yunlan....."

"You called my dad as ďa ģē, he must have been your senior. Something happened between you two didn't it?"

"Why do you think so?"

"I was there when you went to the Zhao editorial company. I saw the heated argument between you and him. He must have done something to you for which you still did not forgive him. You always try to ignore him.....something happened didn't it....?"

"Yun------" the door opens and in walks the man I never wish to see.

"I see you are here......"

"Dad? What are you doing here?"

"Well....one of the neighbor called me and told me about the fight. They told me you went to hospital....I was wondering why? I see Wei is hurt...."

".......ďa ģē....you didn't have to come here..."

"How couldn't I? My son was involved in a fight again because of someone else....."

"What do you mean?" I question him as I feel his accusing tone.

"Dad....why are you so rude?"

"I am rude because Wei keeps on ignoring me and refuses to listen to me...."

"I have told you earlier ďa ģē, I have nothing to talk to you. Yunlan will leave in few minutes you can take your son and go home. Don't come to talk to me again"

"Look Wei...this is important to me...I need to clear the misunderstanding....."

"I have nothing to clear.....do you really wanna talk about this in front of your son? Do you have the strength to tell him what you did to me?"

I see ďa ģē standing quietly and lowering his head "I thought so! Come back to me when you have the courage to speak about it in front of your son, then I will listen to you. Now leave!"

Just then Yezun walks in with Riju....as soon as he sees someone else in the room he rushes towards me and stands guard. But, he soon recognizes the person in the room.

"You!....You bastard....what the hell are you doing here? How dare you show your face in front of Wei.....did you forget what you did to him? I should have killed you then....I am giving you a final warning..if I see you near Wei again...I will you kill you this time"

"Yezun, calm down. Yunlan can you please take your dad and leave for the day? I will call you when I am back home"

"Okay......you need to explain me a lot of things Wei"

"I know....I will....."

Yunlan pulls his dad out of Wei room and they walk away. Xinchi walks silently beside his son and seems to be lost in thought.

"Dad ...... what did you do to Wei?"

There was silence and no response was given to him. "Dad...are you listening to me?"

But Xinchi just sits in his car and drives away leaving Yunlan behind in the hospital parking lot.

"What were you even thinking? Why did you let that man in your life again?"

"I didn't.....he is Yunlan's dad and Yunlan is Riju's friend....it was unavoidable"

"Are you sure Yunlan is only Riju's friend and he has nothing to do with you?"

"What are you conveying"

"I am not blind wei.....did you think I didn't see the connection between you and him. You also sent me and Riju away so that you can talk to Yunlan. He also called you Wei instead of Wei ýe ýe. Which kid would disrespect their elder unless they have some special relation with them. Tell me truly, what's your relationship with him?"

"Huhh....."I look at Yezun's determined eyes and curious gaze from Riju.....

"He is......he is......ahmm....."
