The Truth - 2

Zachary and Abrielle exchanged looks and Abrielle sighed. Then all five of them walked in.

Donovan and  Zivan took seats on both sides of their sister and Samuel sat on the single chair. While their parents sit in front of their children.

"Genie," Zivan turned her towards him.

"I'm not talking to any of you. You all went to the celebration but left me behind. I even missed my brother's announcement about his wife," Genie pressed her lips in a thin line.

"Ahha… we didn't take you there because there was a monster out there. We all were afraid for you, what if he takes you away with him? What should we do then?" Zivan made up a story and tried to pacify his sister.

"Zivan…" but Abrielle, who heard that, looked at her son with stern expressions on her face.

She didn't know why but she felt extremely anxious in her heart just by listening to what Zivan said.

Zivan looked at his mother apologetically.
