At present time, Gibson's mansion...
"Senior.... Brother Evan", the sweet chirping sound of Ariena made Evan to broke his austere look towards Charlotte. He glared at Charlotte signaling her to leave from there as fast as she can. Charlotte also didn't thought twice and quickly made her leave.
"Is that really you.... Oh my God I can't believe my eyes... you truly are my charming knight in a shiny armour....,No no..you are my super hero who is strong and can fly from one place to another just at a lightening speed as you are always there to help me out of my most embarrassing moments....oh thank you so much brother Evan.." Ariena confessed with glittery eyes,if she squeeze her eyes with a little more pressure she will surely start crying as they were filled with tears struggling to fall out.
Evan felt devastated seeing her like this,he cupped her face with one hand and comfort her , "Silly .... though I would prefer you calling me Prince charming then a stupid looking super hero who wear undies over his pants...," he smiled.
"Pfft... hahaha.... ," she blasted with a series of laughter , "haha..you are really awesome brother Evan, okay you are now my Prince Charming, thank you so much for saving this damsel in distress Your Highness.. hehehe."
Evan puffed his chest to show off and smiled full of pride and said ," Okay.... now you can leave pretending so courteous, be what you are ..."
"Hmph ...you are so bad ,"she replied him with puffed cheeks. After a second they both started laughing.
"Okay ,come back to Earth..... When did you return from abroad?" she asked excitedly, forgetting everything that just happened a few minutes ago.
Ariena was overwhelmed to see him,she literally jumping while asking him like a 5 year old girl who had visited amusement park for the first time.
"Why didn't you informed me of your plans of coming back? .. I would have given you a grand 'welcome back party'....," she pouted her luscious red lips. He smiled seeing her acting all cute.
"Brother Evan...how can you hide yourself with me ? You have changed..now you don't care about our heavenly friendship, you use to say nothing can be hidden between us and you are the very person who never tell me what's happening in your life. First you left the country without telling me,if not for Isabella I would have not been able to go and say you a proper goodbye on that day and now you didn't even bother to tell me that you have finally came back .... You are so mean..? ", she said in a complaining tone.
Evan who was trying so hard not to laugh at her expressions earlier could not hold it longer and suddenly busted out laughing a little bit loud,to gather the attention of others standing near them , "Hahaha...",he tried to control his laughter to avoid getting further attention and said calmly, " I don't know about myself if I have changed or not but I damn sure you have improved a lot in your acting... you will surely excel in getting the Drama Queen award, Miss Ariena..."
Ariena make a face at him and said with a sweet smile, "Who are you saying drama queen and what acting? hmph ....those were my genuine words okay".
Evan was not able to control his hearty laughter again while seeing her making faces. After sometime he said in affectionate tone, with a beam of satisfaction, "Okay, okay... I got it ... Sorry.. now don't spoil your mood... firstly thanks for your kind concern towards me and worrying about me Princess Ariena ....and secondly I have returned to the country just a week ago I was super busy so I didn't get the time to tell you and lastly, I have no intention to hide about my arrival from my little junior at all. I have nothing to hide, you see I'm a gentleman Princess."
He pat on her head on her head lightly while adding," It so good to see you here in all your glory princess, so when are you going to give me a Grannnd welcome party ." He smiled sweet at her but Ariena knew that smile of his really well, he was mocking her.
She immediately shakes off his hand and said pouting cutely at him , "Aish ..brother don't spoil my hair and how can you mock your little junior like this.,.. do you know what I'm? hmm I'm Mrs Johnson now,I'm surely capable of giving you the best welcome party, just you wait..."
"Yes ,Yes...I know that so thank you so much Mrs. Johnston for arranging a welcome party for me in advance. I hope Mrs. Johnston will surely get some time out from her busy schedule and accompany me for a lunch before that." ,he said with a slight bow to her.
"Brother Evan, you really have changed a lot, you are more hateful and mean now , you know that....." she said while hitting his arms lightly.....,"And of course I will accompany you for lunch anytime but if it's your treat,as it is you who is at fault clearly...",she added with a big smile on her face.
"Okay it's my fault and It will be my treat, I will inform you after checking my schedule with my secretary, your cell number is same or you have changed it." he asked softly.
"It's same..."she replied immediately.
They started talking about random things as it have been a long time after they have last met each other.
Ariena had dropped all the courtesy and talked freely with him without any restrictions. It's feel so good to behave like the same little girl who damn care about the world...who she had buried years ago.
..... .... ..... .... ...
The trio was busy with their bickering and boasting about random stuffs. Especially Brann ,who was a total show off in their group, though they don't mind this attitude of him,as it was fun to stretch his leg afterwards when he is done with her boasting.
It was Stan who will say some or other words from time to time to irritate Brann and he will continue his bickering.
Andrew was enjoying their conversation with a amusing smile on his face,he was just like a father who was monitoring his two boys who can not decide what to do.
But suddenly his odd reaction was the thing that gathered the attention of the two talking cat.
When Stan noticed the tight grip on Andrew's glass,he moved his eyes to look at him. Surprised by his stoned body which has emitting a deadly aura around him, Stan paused on his words, thinking did he just crossed his line while joking about his abilities in having a girl. He was about to apologize himself when he noticed that Andrew was looking forward and have heard nothing that he was saying. He felt so relieved, 'Thank God he didn't listened to me this time...., Today God is by my side, I swear I will think thrice before talking especially to this tyrant.' he prayed to God silently.
On the other thought , he got eager to know, 'what thing has caught Andrew attention? and why did he is almost at the blink of loosing his cool? What is it?' he pounder over his thoughts.
Stan was about to ask Andrew about the reason for this sudden change in his behavior but dropped the idea,as he does not want to face his friend's rage by himself in a public place.
Stan stretched out his neck to see beyond Andrew's shoulder and was stunned to see Ariena, all smiling in another man's arms.'Did he saw correctly.' mused Stan.
Not believing in his eyes he turned to Brann and said in a very soft voice in his ears, while pointing towards Andrew and Ariena, "Hey... what in the world just got into that girl,look at her.... Brann your party is over now... good luck."
