Melina looked towards the door and saw a replica of her standing there. 'Brother?', she said and ran towards him and hugged him so tight. He hugged her back with tears in his eyes. 'Sister', he said lovingly. 'Oh God, thank you so much for this day', she mumbled and pulled back. Then she observed the guy standing in front of her. Tall, young with golden hair and blue orbs which matched hers and boyish features since he was just 18.
She turned towards Leonard with gratitude shining like gems in her eyes and said, ' Thank you so much, Leonard. Thank you', and smiled. 'Anything for you sweetheart', he said and smiled back. Leonard felt pure happiness seeing his love smile from the depth of her heart.
'What's your name champ?', she asked brushing his hair with her fingers. 'Dario Marcello', he replied. 'That's a cute name champ. Haha, I'm Melina Armelle, your sweet sissy', she said and began pinching his cute cheeks. 'Ouch that hurts sis!', he pouted. 'Since you're my bro, better get used to it', she chuckled.
'Ahem ahem', Leonard coughed. 'What?', both exclaimed at the same moment. 'Whoah okay, now that lost siblings are united forget me', he said. 'Haha, he's my brother Leo. Jealous of him too?', Melina laughed while Dario smiled with amusement. 'Well...umm actually...not like that..but', he stuttered and Melina shut him up by saying, 'You're jealous, admit it', and high fived Dario.
Finally, Dario spoke up. 'Well, since I'm her brother shouldn't you ask me permission to date my sis', he chuckled. 'Aww look at my protective brother', Melina said and both winked. 'Wow, now I have to ask your permission to date her? Haha', Leonard laughed along with them.
'Yes of course brother-in-law', he said smiling. 'Brother-in-law?', Leonard was surprised for a moment. 'Yes of course. From where would I find a cool brother-in-law like you? You better marry her or I'll kill you', he smiled at Leonard. Melina smiled adoringly. She was happy to see her brother and her love behave as a family.
'You'll kill me? Haha let me kill you first', he said and punched Dario's shoulder playfully. 'Aah you've made your first move! I'm gonna kill you broo!', he said and both started wrestling.
Melina burst into laughter seeing both rolling down the floor in the name of fighting. Finally, after loads of laughter Melina said, 'Oh please, stop bringing shame to the word fighting', and both stopped fighting aka rolling on the floor.
'Okay now that all's good, I'll leave you, brother and sister, alone, while I get going', Leonard smiled at both. 'Leoo you're going? Why don't you stay tonight?', she asked pouting. 'Haha, I have work to do sweetheart. Anyways now you have a strong brother by your side to take care of you when I'm not here', he said and then kissed Melina's forehead and hugged her. 'See you later Dario', he said and shook his hand to which Dario replied, ' Sure bro' and nodded.
As soon as he left both raced towards the remote to watch TV in which Dario won. Finally giving up Melina sat down to watch a football game of her brother's choice while she drifted to sleep safely in her brother's arms.
