A Sacred Ritual! III

Was it really him?

It was a question that Branch Leader Julius felt like he had to ask as too many unbelievable things had occurred.

Logic and every other sense he had stated that this young man before him was his son!

And yet until he saw it for himself…

Alexander turned towards his father as the green garbs covering his head unfurled, his gaze tinged with many emotions as he called out in a low tone.

"Father."

He called out to father just like he always did.

Their distant relationship. The same pain they shared but didn't talk about.

The father looked at the son with a heavy heart and a mixture of emotions as he went forward and grabbed his shoulders, looking at him up and down as he spoke out earnestly.

"Your Mother…she would have been very proud. Prouder than you can even imagine."

He said these words while looking deeply at Alexander, the latter trembling slightly as he nodded!
