Apology And Reunion

" Good you're downstairs now " the young lady said with a smile before placing the serving tray in front of him on tea table.

" This is ginger tea . It will help you with the cold " she told him handing him a mug of the ginger tea.

She picked up her own and took a sip while the young man did same, he was thankful that she was there at the right time to prevent him from disgracing himself , he thought secretly while sipping on his ginger tea.

Everyone starred at them in silence while they sipped their tea.

The young lady sat down and asked the middle age man . " Are you done reading it...? " she asked referring to the prodigal son story.

" Yes , the man answered " .

" So what's your answer " she asked.

" Forget about the answer for now " she added

" What do you think is the right thing to do....? " she asked him.

" You know what I will do already " he answered looking at her.

" Good too know " she said before turning to look at the young man she brought home.

" You wanted to say something to him earlier " she reminded her companion.

" Yes " he muttered before looking at the young lady with a weak smile which she returned with a reassuring smile.

" Dad , grandpa and grandma, Mom.. I'm really sorry for how I did things in the past, I didn't mean to, trust me.

I never wanted it to happen like that . I thought I could keep the child no matter what happens.

I didn't want to neglect my first child. I wanted my child to have a home to call his own, I wanted to give my all to the two people in my life but I couldn't because all of you never liked her and I couldn't tell you about her pregnancy as well because of your dislike towards her.

I also thought I could prove you wrong, I thought you were wrong about her but now I know it's the truth " he told them emotionally while looking at the steam that was coming out of the mug .

The truth is I don't have the heart to face any of you but I know if I don't do it then I will never be able to do it in future , forgive me please ". he said looking each of them in the eyes.

Everyone starred at him with gaping mouths. They really couldn't believe what they were hearing from his mouth because he has never apologized to anyone before because of his arrogance.

The middle age man couldn't help the tears streaming down her face, this is the son she has been waiting for .

The young man set down his mug as his mother walked towards him , she sat beside him and pulled him into a motherly embrace which he returned. By now his mother was a wipping mess , tears was streaming down her beautiful face while the young man blinked back his own stubbornly which made the young lady who brought him shook her head in disbelief.

She just couldn't get why most men hate the thought of crying.

" I'm so sorry mom... " the young man said to his mother which made the woman's grip tightened around him.

" It's fine as long as I can have my son back " she said smiling through her tears .

The rest of the family came up to them and they all had a family hugged.

They all hugged close to ten minutes when the ringing of the telephone broke their moment.

Mirabelle connected the call and said a soft hello. No one knows what she heard from but she frowned slightly.

" Let him in " she said curtly before hanging up the call.

Everyone starred at her with a questioning gaze but she just shrugged it off as if to tell them "I don't know what's going on okay".

Three minutes later they heard the door bell rang and a maid who was going out of the sitting room brought in someone who was unknown to the family.

" Good evening, I'm Brandon and I'm looking for a young woman who's motorcycle is packed outside this building " the young man who said he was called Brandon said politely.

At this time the young lady who he was talking about came out of the kitchen while wiping her hands with a kitchen napkin, she had just finished washing the mugs they had drunk the tea from earlier.

What Brandon said made the young man who came with the young lady frowned in displeasure, he doesn't even know why he was feeling uncomfortable knowing that she's acquainted with another man aside from him.

" And who are you to her... ? " he couldn't help asking him

coldly which caused his family to look at him in surprised. " Why was he acting like a jealous husband....? " that was the exact question everyone was asking themselves.

" I'm her fiancee and I'm here to pick her up as it's already late and I'm worried about her well being " Brandon said to him politely but also smugly which made the young man's hand clenched tightly while he kept looking at Brandon with displeasure.

While all this was going on the young woman who they were talking about was focused on cleaning her hands that she didn't pay attention to the atmosphere in the sitting room when she arrived.

" Baby .." Brandon called out to the young woman softly which snapped her out of her unconsciousnes .

She looked up see that it was the person she didn't want to meet in this life.

" How did you get in here ...? " she asked Brandon coldly . which puzzled the others .

" Didn't this man claimed earlier that he was engaged to the young lady...so why is the relationship between them so cold and distance...? " they all asked themselves in wonder.

" They let me in but that's not what matters now instead what matters now is that I'm here to pick you up " he said affectionately but that just earned him a cold laugh from the lady.

" Do you want me to beat you up.....? " she asked calmly ignoring his statement earlier.

" Well if you desire to be beaten then I'm also glad to grant you your heart desire , after all I also can't let this chance go..." she stated with an evil smirk causing a cold shiver to rundown Brandon's spine but he quickly composed himself.

" You can do that after we get home but for now let's get going otherwise dinner might get cold " he told her softly which made the lady sighed tiredly.

" I'm really tired of your games . I told you I don't want disloyal men like you in my life and what that meant was that we are over " she told him in a no nonsense tone.

" I know you still love me . What happened was a one time mistake . I just want us to work things out . Just give me a chance please " Brandon said to her with a pleading gaze .

" Okay I forgive you but let's get married right now " she said to him in a serious tone.

What she said made everyone eyes widened in shock because she just said she has forgiven him and now she's proposing a marriage to him , who does that.

The young man who she brought home eyes widened slightly at what she said . He felt as if someone had poured a cold water over his head.

Brandon stood there uncomfortably under the blank gaze of the woman he claimed to love before saying.

" Why don't we do it next month and the wedding...? " he asked which caused the young woman to laugh suddenly

" I gave you a chance but you choosed her . You can never change your heart and desires . I know you both have a child together and I don't care about that but when I try to leave in peace you come after me which is pissing me off " she stated with a smile but her smile held some amount of coldness to it.

" Are you saying that because of this stranger....? " Brandon said pointing his chin at the man she escorted home.

" Yeah " everyone heard her say without hesitation which shocked them , okay that wasn't the reply were expecting from her.

" But he's just a stranger who you saved " Brandon said in disbelief.

" Was I the one who told you that....? " she asked but didn't bother about his reply as she continued .

" I don't care about your opinion Brandon because you can see that he's better than you and he's the one am dating now as in my new boyfriend so I advise you to piss off " she advised calmly .

Brandon stood there with gaping mouth which made him look very funny to them . He couldn't believe what she was saying so he simply shook his head.

" He isn't worth it , he doesn't deserve you or to be loved by someone like you " Brandon said trying to sow discord between them .

" I said piss off . Before I blink you should vanish otherwise my boys will come for your head " she said in no nonsense tone which made the young man walked out immediately because he knew she wasn't joking about what she was saying.

Mirabelle couldn't hold back her comment after Brandon walked off .

" Damn , you're good . You have to teach me how to do that to irresponsible men " . Mirabelle comment which made the young woman giggled in amusement.
