" Joel ?" Lucy asked in a soft voice.
Joel smiled and said. " It's been long, My dear Sister."
Lucy was still lost but when she heard her young brother's voice her eyes reddened. It's been over twenty years plus since she last saw him.
She slopped down from the stairs and rushed over to hug him. When she hugged him her eyes released a tear.
She was so happy to see him again after all these years.
In contrary when Lucy hugged Joel he gritted his teeth in anger.
Lucy released him from the hig and cupped his face.
" Joel, It's really you, you have grown so much" She said touching him to make sure that everything about him was good.
After realizing that he wasn't reacting she released him and tried to dry her tears with her thumbs.
" How have you been Sis ?" Joel asked.
" I have been good. But there's no day I didn't think of when you will come back to us." She said.
" Then don't worry sis. Because I am back." He said.
" That's great. I hope you will not leave me again." She said.
" Of course sister. You are the only family I have. Why would I run away from you again ?" He asked.
Lucy smiled in her tears and said.
