The room is threateningly silent. Rex looked at the cold face of his brother. A warmth spreads into his heart. He knew his brother well. Though Ryan's face is devoid of emotions, Rex knew that the care he has for him.
He is damn sure that his brother rushed to see him as soon he heard about his arrival. He really wants to hug Ryan, but still he hesitated. The incident two years back still haunts him.
Two years back his brother got engaged to Lizzy, daughter of a business tycoon. Rex is so happy about that. He eagerly look forward to the marriage but who knows that Lizzy will propose to him.
Rex rejected her mercilessly but the news somehow spread to the media. It was a big news back then. Many said that Rex has seduced his brother's fiancee. He is afraid to look at his brother's face. He doesn't want to be the one to hurt Ryan. So he left the country without informing his family.
He knew that his family will know about his whereabouts eventually but he wished to avoid encountering Ryan. Moreover Ryan too never tried to contact him which worsened his situation.
Now after two years he is here with him. Ryan is still patiently waiting for Rex to continue. Rex again looked at him trying to gauge his thoughts. But Ryan's pitch black eyes revealed nothing.
"Brother....two years back...I didn't.." Once he stared Rex knew that it is not a good staring line. But before he could finish, Ryan interrupted him.
"Don't speak about that!!"
Rex felt a pain in his heart. "So his brother really thought that he did seduce Lizzy"
But the next words of Ryan made him feel elated.
"Do you really think that I'll believe the words of the media over yours?"
"No..you won't" Rex answered within his mind.
"As soon as I heard the news I did a thorough check up. It seems Lizzy doesn't want to get engaged to me. So she used you to break it. After learning the truth, I searched for you only to learn that you have left the country. I was angry... I was angry cause you didn't believe in me... that's why I didn't contact you. Moreover I thought of giving you some time to understand everything. But it took you two long years!!!...Do I look that petty to believe some nonsense about my brother??"
Rex stood rooted on the spot. He knew Ryan wouldn't make a big deal of it. But it's the What if's that haunted him. He doesn't even have the courage to look up to his brother.
"Sorry.." That's all he could say.
Ryan looked at his brother. He always cherished their relationship. A warm smile filled his face.
" If you're sorry, then I'll forgive you!!"
Rex looked up and looked at his brother's smiling face. Unknowingly he too smiled.
While the brothers are into their own world, Amy stood aside hearing the story. This is the first time she has heard about her husband's engagement.
This guy...he dares to hide that from her!!
Moreover what is she doing here... Somehow she feels like a third wheel..
Argh... I'm angry...
Amy growled in her mind..
