Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 33

Henry’s POV

I had just returned from school to our new house which Charles Anderson got for us and was about to get myself some lunch, when my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller ID but it was a strange number, I don’t usually take calls from numbers I didn’t save on my phone but on this day I decided to make an exception. I picked up the call and the person on the other end said I’m at the door of your house. So I went to open the door and I was a little surprised at the people I met there. It was Charles and Diana I welcomed them in and asked what are you two doing here? Diana asked so where’s your mum? I said she dropped a note saying that she was going to the hospital for her regular check up. Charles said I know that by now your brother and sister are already in their different universities? I said yeah and that Lillian called mum last night and said she was doing okay but that as for William that one doesn’t call anybody unless you call him. They walked into the house, Diana saw the plate containing the food I was trying to make for myself and she said let me guess just came back from school and are trying to get something to eat? I said yes and asked how did you guess? She said she’s Psychic and I asked her so what am I thinking right now? She said you want to test me right? I said that it’s not every day one meets a Psychic and that I wanted to know if she was the real deal or not. Then she said you were wondering why we were here. I said you got that right and I asked why are you here. She said I’ll let my fiancée let you in on that meanwhile I’m going to finish this referring to my food. Then she went into the kitchen and left me and Charles to discuss why they were here. Then Charles sat me down on the sofa and asked me so how’s school? I responded school’s fine actually, if I do well in this terms work I could go to the university next year and he said good for you. He said the reason we are here is to officially invite you and your whole family to our wedding and you remember the conversation you and I had in my office that you were going to draw a portrait of I and Diana on our wedding day? I said yes and asked when’s the wedding? He said in three days time and I said oh congratulations. Just then I started to perceive the smell of Diana’s cooking and I must admit it smelled very nice. Charles asked me so how much should I pay you for the drawing? I said like I told you before in your office I don’t want money consider it my wedding gift to you. He said thank you and Diana brought out the food from the kitchen and served it on the dining table. She said Henry your food is ready and I went to eat the food and when I put the first spoon into my mouth the food tasted delicious. I went on to complement her on her cooking skills and she said thank you. She said there’s more from where that came from referring to the food and she asked so where’s my portrait? I stood and rushed to my room and brought the portrait down with me and gave it to her by this time I had already framed it. She said thank you and said tell your mum we came around and with that they left the house.

William’s POV

I arrived the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), my dream school to get my degree in computer engineering all thanks to Charles Anderson. School was tough and lectures were going on very well and so I didn’t have time even for myself. I had a couple of friends in the same department as me a guy and two ladies. On that faithful Thursday morning I received a call from my brother Henry and I haven’t spoken to him or my mother and even my sister in over three months. I picked up the call and said hi bro and he said don’t hi me. He continued I’m disappointed in you William and I asked why? He said you haven’t called nor even texted me, mum or Lillian. He said that Lillian who is in Washington finds a way to call every now and then but you that is in Boston can’t even call us. I apologised and said that the reason I haven’t called is that I’ve been very busy with lectures. He said isn’t that the same lectures which Lillian is having in her own school? He said any way the reason I called is to tell you that Charles and Diana are getting married in three days time and they want the whole family there. I said okay let me check my schedule and I’d get back to you and he said no check while we are on the phone because I know once you hang up you wouldn’t call unless I call you. I said okay and checked and luckily for me on that day I was free. I told him this and he said we would be expecting you a day before right? I said yes and we chatted about a few more things before we hung up the call.
