"And you both didn''t at all wanted to tell me about this anytime? And you have been dating secretly all these while?" Sarah asked as shw looked at Aiden and Chris.


    "Sorry, Aunt Sarah..." Aiden apologized.


    "Mom, Don''t make it a big scene. We actually wanted to tell you but we couldn''t... Because... We actually, wanted to keep everything hidden until we are sure about this!" Chris said.


    "From how long you have been dating the girls?" Raymond asked making Aiden and Chris look at each other.


    "2 years..." Aiden answered.


    "3 years..." Chris answered. They both had answered at a time making Raymond raise his eyebrows at them.


    "Umm... We mean, I have been dating Cassie from 3 years and Aiden had been dating Aurora from past 2 years. Right?" Chris asked Aiden and he nodded his head at them.


    "Yeah... He is right!" Aiden answered.


    "Actually, they both are best friends!" Chris said and Raymond raised his eyebrows at them.


    "Best friends? You mean, Aurora and Cassie?" Raymond asked and Aiden, Chris nodded their heads at him.


    "Yes, Grandpa!" Chris answered.


    "Why do I feel like I heard these names somewhere and... They are best friends?" Raymond asked as he Frowned.


    Aiden and Chris looked at each other as they took a deep breath.


    "Ummm... Yeah. Maybe, you will!" Aiden answered making Raymond look up at him.


    "Who the hell are they? From past 3 years... You have been hiding this from me? And this is the reason why do you both ruined your dates every single time? I thought you have been still thinking about the girls that betrayed you and didn''t move on with your lives but I have been wronged all these years?" Sarah asked with a bit of anger.


    "Mom, can you be rx for a few minutes please... I request you..." Chris said and Sarah chuckled.


    "Rx? How do you think I will be rx, Chris? You both have been dating behind my back from the past 3 and 2 years. I thought you both will not keeo secrets from me... But I was wrong... I thought you will tell me everything but you guys didn''t...


    How can you both do this?" Sarah asked.


    "Mom... Please..." Chris said with a stern voice.


    "Ohh. Yeah... You both are lying to me all these years! Right!" Sarah said making Chris sigh and Aiden looked away.


    "I can''t really believe this. You both will never do something without even telling me and right now, you are telling me to believe that you both were in rtionship from a long while?" Sarah asked as she raised her eyebrows at Aiden and Chris.


    "And you especially... Aiden. How can you hide something like this from me?" Sarah asked making Aiden look up at her.


    "Aunt Sarah, I am really sorry... But I had to do this because I was not sure... And neither she was... So, it just... We needed to hide stuff from you. I am really so sorry.


    I know that I will tell you every single thing but I hide this from you and... We have moved on in our lives a long back ago... It just things suddenly changed and we had to ept the change no matter what! We can''t just keep thinking about the past. Can we?" Aiden asked making Sarah frown.


    "What do you mean by this? You really forgot about your father''s death and how your mother had left you and everything... You have moved on from everything? Forgetting every single that you went through?" Sarah asked with a bit of anger.


    "Mom, what are you even asking him? Are you even in your sense?" Chris asked.


    "I know what I am talking about, Chris. He should remember every single thing that happened to him. The way his father died... And the one who killed him... He should also remember how his mother had left him. He has none.


    I took him in and I took care of him like how I took care of you. I have never let anything happen to him. I didn''t ever let him feel lonely. I love him." Sarah said and tears rolled in Aiden''s eyes.


    "Mom... Please stop. You are not at all helping him right now but making him remember every single thing that hunting him from his childhood... Please... Stop. Don''t do this and make him remember everything that he is trying hard to forget everything.


    He is a human after all. Whatever he went through is something hard for him. Please don''t push him to that extent where he can break down. He is holding himself up from quite a long time." Chris replied and Sarah chuckled.


    "Holding up? For whom?" Sarah asked making Chris frown at her.


    "Mom..." Sarah cut off Chris in mid sentence.


    "You don''t even know how hard it is for my brother when his wife left him. He was nothing to her. His mother didn''t at all cared about him. But me... I looked after him. He should have a minimum responsiblity to tell me when he didn''t have any mother..." Sarah got suddenly cut off by Raymond making her flinch with his yelling.


    "Just shut up now, Sarah!" Raymond yelled ans Sarah flinched with his voice.


    "What? What did I even tell?" Sarah asked.


    "You know what you are talking about! But still, you want this to messed up... Don''t you?" Raymond asked with anger and Sarah chuckled.


    "Mess up what? Isn''t this already messed up?" Sarah asked.


    "You are making things harder. You know that!" Raymond said making Sarah sigh.


    "I don''t really understand what are you both angry at me when I should be the one to be angry at you!" Sarah said and just then, Aiden got up from his chair making everyone look at him.


    "Aiden... Ummm... Umm..." Chris stuttered.


    "I... I will leave... I wille backter... I need to take some fresh air." Aiden stuttered badly and walked away before anyone say anything. Sarah scouts as Aiden left the dining room.


    "Aiden... Stop!" Chris called but Aiden had already disappeared from his sight at that time he called.


    "Mom, why would you do this? You know that Aiden doesn''t really like his mother then why do you bring her up?" Chris asked.


    "You think, I bought her into the topic intentionally?" Sarah asked.


    "It looks like that!" Raymond answered.


    "Dad." Sarah called sternly.


    "I didn''t say anything but I said what I honestly feel. This looks like, you wanted him to remind what his mother did with him and his dad. Don''t you?" Raymond asked.


    "And I don''t think, I did anything in reminding him that! Because he shouldn''t forget how she betrayed my brother!" Sarah answered.


    "Just shut up!" Raymond said as he got up from his chair making Chris get up from the chair too.


    "Sarah, why do you always brings up About his father and mother?" Raymond asked.


    "Dad, I didn''t say him anything... It just a normal topic. He should at least tell me that he is dating for even looking after him with love?" Sarah asked.


    "Why are you only pointing out at Aiden? There is your son too who hide that he is dating too. Ask him too. Point out at him to. Aiden was at no fault for whatever his parents did. He is just an innocent guy who is been suffering in between everything that his parents did.


    I won''t say that his father is not at fault at anything because he is. He is the reason why his wife left him. If only he cared about the one who was fighting with his wife at that time and not scolding his wife for the mistakes she didn''t do!" Raymond said making Sarah raise her eyebrows at him.


    "I do think, he was fair." Sarah replied.


    "You think that but he was not because I know it! Few can easily think that I don''t mind about whatever is going on in my children''s lives but I really wish, I cared and pointed at that time itself... But I didn''t. Still, it''s note to do now... Isn''t it?" Raymond asked making Sarah look away from him making Chris frown at them as he couldn''t figure out what they are talking about?


    "Dad... I think, you need to go home and try to rest! Because thinking about all the stuff that happened in past will ruin your health more. So, better rest properly!" Sarah said making Raymond chuckle.


    "Don''t worry... Nothing will happen to my life until I settle my grandsony lives with the one of the girls that love them and until I am sure, they are happy together and there is none to trouble them up!" Raymond replied.


    "Well... I am not going to ept anyone until I get to know about the one they love and hunt down their back grounds. At the end, I don''t want a gold diggers to be my daughter inws...


    Like your daughter inw!" Sarah said with a stern face making Raymond frown at her and before he says anything, she got up from the chair and walked away from the dining room not before ring at her dad and smirked at him.
