At the Martin Villa,
( Time : 4 : 00 a.m. )
Inside Jack's bedroom,
Kian was already up according to his time table, he used to exercise and practice Martial arts in the morning everyday. It was compulsory in Martin to learn Martial Arts because of the safety. Even Grace and Hannah had to learn, but they both just knew the basics. They still needed time to learn everything which they didn't want to but they had to.
Kian got fresh then he changed into track pants which he borrowed from Jack , he already told one of his servants to bring his clothes at Martin Villa as he will be staying here for some days.
Then he looked at Jack who was still sleeping. He took a deep breath because now he was going to wake up this lazy hag and it was definitely going to drain his half of the energy.
He moved towards Jack and said," Wake up Jack it's time ,".
But Jack didn't even budge a bit, in fact he covered his face with a blanket. Kian was speechless by his action.
He again tried," Jack we are getting late for the school, just get up or else I will do something wrong,".
Again no response, now Kian was totally pissed off, so he just walked towards the side table where he saw Jug was filled with water.
He gave a smug smile and thought, " Sorry bro, but you deserve this, ".
After that he walked towards Jack and pulled his blanket then poured that full water on Jack's face.
Because of the sudden attack Jack up hurriedly while he screamed, " Ahhh, mom help,".
Kian looked at his reaction and he was not able to control himself so laughed loudly. He did this type of thing for the first time and he really enjoyed it.
When Jack came to his senses he saw Kian was laughing at him , first he was shocked because Kian never did this type of tricks on anyone but today he literally splashed water on him.
Jack rubbed his eyes and stood up from the bed in that condition he said in a frustrated tone," Seriously Kian , you also started using this type of trick ,".
Kian stopped laughing and said ," So what else can I do ? and what do you mean by you also , who else did this to you?,".
Jack yawned and said," Dumpling, who else can do this , she has done this millions of times from childhood, ".
Kian nodded and said ," At Least she knows which type of treatment you deserve,".
Jack rolled his eyes at him but didn't say anything he knew was not going to win this argument. So he just ignored and looked at the watch and was shocked to see the time.
He said, " Are you serious bro? It's just 4:15 am and you still wake me up. Are we going to clean school this early? I didn't know you like to do cleaning services, look, it's still dark outside,".
Kian was speechless by his words and then he picked up another set track pants and throw him directly at Jack's face and said ,
" Just shut up and get ready, we are going for morning exercise and after that we will continue our martial arts practice,".
Jack was about to refuse but Kian again said,
" You have not done your practice for almost 1 week and if my dad came to know about this you will be finished and you know that my dad is very strict about our practice and safety,".
Jack suddenly runs towards the bathroom because he still remembers Chester's anger when he came to know that Jorge has stopped practicing.
For Chester and Gale Jack and Hannah were just like their own children because both brothers ( Chester and Peter) were very close from childhood and Gale and Ava were best friends , so rules and punishments were same for everyone , even Gale and Ava had to learn Martial Arts before marrying into the Martin family.
Kian took a deep breath because he didn't like to talk much but sometimes he has to just like now.
After 5 mins Jack came out from the bathroom in track pants and then they both left the room with their headphones and mobile.
It was already 4:30 in the morning when they both walked out from the villa for their morning jog. And it was still a little dark outside because of the cold weather.
Meanwhile at the D'souza Villa,
( Time : 4:00 a.m )
Aana wakes up on time as usual , her father used to wake her up early for exercise and martial arts when she was young so it was her daily routine now , Micheal was expert in martial arts and that's the reason Aana loves to practice it with her father. And she never skipped her practice, she only skipped when she was not well or for some reason.
So today, she was going to practice with her father after a long time and she loves that because her father never shows any mercy on her just because she was a girl or his daughter , he always says, ' Hardship makes people strong'.
She stood up from the bed and then walked towards the window and opened it for some fresh air.
She saw it was still dark and cold outside but she still stood there and enjoyed the weather for 10 mins .
Because of the cold wind her cheeks turned pink it looks like she had applied blush this early.
After 10 mins she walked towards the bathroom with her sports clothes and got changed. She washed her face , brushed her teeths and combed her hair in a bun. After that she wears one black rubber band in case she needs that, because her hairs were long and curly and she doesn't like to open them unnecessary.
She came out from the bathroom in 10 mins and then called Crystal to check if she was awake or not because she already missed practice for 2 days and if aunt Mia came to know that then Crystal would be dead.
Mia and Michael were best friends from college and for some reason they both were scared for Crystal's security, maybe it was related to Crystal's father. No one knows who her father was, not even Crystal, only Michael and Mia know about him. Even Michael never told Dains anything about Crystal's father.
And that's the reason Mia was strict with Crystal's practice and specially request Michael to train her like he train Aana, she was not afraid that Crystal would get hurt in training because she knew Michael was a professional and the main reason was that he was her best friend whom she trusted more than she trust her self. And Michael was also a father figure for Crystal.
But he was strict when it came to their training, he would turn into a strict teacher every morning and didn't listen to their tantrums like a father, that is why they used to call him 'Sir' during practice.
Aana saw it was already 4 : 20 and only 10 mins left for Michael to come over , so she dialed Crystal's number and wore her pair of sports shoes which she kept inside her room.
After 2 rings Crystal picked up the call.
[ Aana : Cris get up , only 10 mins are left.]
[ Crystal : I'm already up and already ready, and coming in 5 mins ].
[ Aana : Woah, you wake up on time , how did this magic happened.]
[ Crystal : Mom scold me yesterday and wake me today. she came to know I missed my practice for 2 days. ]
Aana laughed when she heard Crystal's irritated voice.
[ Crystal : Stop laughing dumpling ].
[ Aana : Ok fine , by the way I have a surprise for you , so please come fast.]
[ Crystal : What surprise ? ].
But Aana didn't reply and directly terminated the call.
At the Hill Villa.
Crystal looked at phone with a confused face and took a deep breath and after that she wore her shoes and walked out of her room.
She was also wearing a sports outfit and combed her hair in a ponytail . Her ponytail looked like it was a rabbit tail because it was so small because of her small hair.
She walked towards the living room and saw her mother was also ready in a sports outfit and got confused.
Mia looked at her daughter and smiled , she was about 37 yrs but still looked like she was 25 because of her perfect skin and long hair.
Crystal said, " Mom are you also going to do martial arts ?,".
Mia said, " No stupid, I'm just going for a jog you know I don't know how to do martial arts,".
Crystal said," OK , but why didn't you and aunt Daina learn martial arts from Uncle Michael?,".
Mia walked towards the door and said," Because we both are weak from inside and now don't say aunt Ava and aunt Gale are good at martial arts because you know they are healthy and I and Daina are sugar patients,".
Crystal laughed when she heard this and then she also walked towards the door and said, " Fine , fine I won't say anything, ".
Mia nodded and didn't say anything and then both of them walked out from the Hill's Villa towards D'souza Villa.
Back to D'souza Villa,
Surprise that Aana was talking about was Michael's return because Crystal was still unaware that Michael was back.
Aana was ready and was about to leave the room when she heard a knock on her door and she knew it was Michael.
She opened the door and she was right because Michael was standing outside her room in his track pants.
When Michael saw Aana was all set for her practice, he was not surprised because he was aware that Aana didn't miss her practice when he was not around but still he came because it was his habit to wake Aana up and help her to get dressed when she was small and he loved those moments.
But when Aana started to grow she used to dress up on her own and said she was independent. So Michael stopped helping and just came to wake up or sometimes just to wish her.
Michael said," Good morning dumpling ,".
Aana smiled and hugged her father and said, " Good morning dad, ".
Micheal patted her head and said," So , ready for the practice, and where is Cris I know she missed 2 days practice ,".
Aana released him and said," She is coming but she didn't know that you are back, it's a surprise for her,".
Michael nodded and then they both walked towards the leaving while talking.
Michael said," Ok , by the way how is Jack ?,".
Aana said ," Fine , I told you yesterday about that lazy pumpkin ,".
Michael laughed and said," Okay and what about Hannah ?, ".
Aana said," She is also fine,".
Michael said," OK so bring them today I have something for Jack, Hannah and Cris,".
Aana said," Okay , and Buddy was asking about you, ".
Michael said ," Ok , I also want to meet him and Chester ,".
Aana got confused and said," Chester ? , oh Chester Martin from Martin manor, ".
Michael said," Yes , we three are friends and business partners ,".
Aana said, " OK,".
After that they both walked towards the main door , when guards opened the door they Crystal and Mia were coming towards them.
When Crystal and Mia saw Michael they both were surprised and happy at the same time , Crystal ran towards Michael in excitement. And waved towards Michael with a smile.
Crystal hugged Michael and said, " Handsome you are back I missed you, ".
Michael also hugged her and said, " I also missed my beautiful ,".
When Aana saw Mia she hid behind Michael because she knew Mia would definitely scold her because she didn't tell her about Crystal missing practice for 2 days.
Mia also hugged Michael in a friendly manner and said, " Finally you are back Mic , I'm totally tired of these boards of directors,".
Michael said," We will talk about business later, I just came back from my trip."
