Moving On? Why don’t I see it

"Congratulations son"

"Thank you dad"

His father moved to abroad with him, in his son's new life he wanted to be there for him

"Are you ok now"

"Yes dad I am, dad its been seven years and you don't have to feel guilty towards me I am ok and what happened with me was not your fault I have forgotten about it"

The people in his company and circle came to know Rìan as this happy and juvenile young man he was always smiling, he created a company fill with happy people and together they were making a name together

"Dad Ann and I will be having dinner tomorrow brother will be joining us too would you like to come"

"No enjoy yourself"

The next day

"Hello Brian"

"Hello Ann"

For the past seven years Ann and Brian had also become close, they spent the day with her

"I really like Ann" Brian said when the two were alone

"Everyone does"

"She takes care of us like we're his sons I wish I had met her earlier"

"Yeah"

"Hey brother, are you okay"

"You and dad should really stop asking me that I am ok and if I am not I promise I will open up to you guys"

"Brother the company is in good shape now and we have our dominance back, although the others are not tired of sabotaging us but I assure you we'll always be ready for them"

"Congratulations"

"Yeah Julius and his family really helped us, Julius is really good" Brian said and Rìan didn't like hearing his name so he asked

" but why do you look worried"

"I want to marry sel" he said and Rìan was quiet

"Congratulations but why did you say it in such a way, as if you're asking me for my opinion. Brother sel is the best woman for you don't let her sister and I past issues affect your relationship"

"Thank you brother"

After a moment he had to ask

"So what did Aileen say"

"Just like you she wants her sister to be happy, I really want to marry sel"

"Since Aileen agreed Who's stopping you?"

"I want my brother to be present at my wedding and I want him to share my happiness with me, I want him to be my best man" Brian said and he was silent

"And who said i won't be there?"

"Will you return to the city with me? And will you stand there as my brother? Can I tell sel, hey sel look my brother is still alive? And will you be able to stay in the same room with Aileen?" Brian asked

"I will be at your wedding as your best man, and I will be introduced to sel as your brother and Aileen and I will be in the same room"

"Will you really be able to do that?"

"Brian I buried the past and I am no longer that teen from seven years old, i will not miss my brother's wedding for anything so don't worry go ahead and make arrangements for your wedding and just tell me the date"

"Thank you so much" Brian said happily

"But I have one request"

"What?"

"When I come in front of your wife, introduce me as junior not Rìan" he said and Brian agreed, he rushed back home to tell his father he was getting married

"Are you really going to do what you just said" Ann asked

"Ann let's Leave the past behind"

"Are you sure Rìan? Have you really left the past behind? Will you be able to meet Aileen"

He hugged Ann

"No I am not ready, what am I going to say to her when I meet her? I have found self love and I know she asked me my life in exchange for her forgiveness but does it count as forgiveness when I am still alive? will she really forgive me when she finds out I am still alive? Ann has she even forgiven me? For these years I haven't thought about these things because I thought our paths were never going to cross each other again, tell me what I should do? I don't like this feeling, I don't want to be like how I was seven years ago" he said as he hugged her tightly

"Relax, you will go to your brother's wedding. I will take care of everything" Ann said
