Sir Zolritch exhaled and wiped the tear of his wife before looking seriously at Chandler who was all the way impatient and feeling so sad.
"The reason we called you upon here is to tell you a truth which we would have loved to tell you few years ago. Chandler the truth is that we are not your real parents, we just adopted you."
Hearing that from Sir Zolritch's mouth, Chandler eyes went wide open as and his heart felt like it would sink to his stomach for some reason.
"What!!?????"
That was the only word that could leave his mouth at that moment of shock he was in right now. He was as if he was in another world. As if he was played with all this time. This was a sacristy for him. Just hearing that he wasn't their son made him understand that he was feeling sad for all this time upon nothing. He wasn't a Zolritch and reason why he couldn't awaken their affinity.
"Wh....Wha...What are you saying dad? What do you mean by you just adopted me?" Asked Chandler while stuttering. His heart beat was increasing bit by bit.
"I know it's hard for you to believe Chandler, but that's the truth. We are not your real parents" Responded Sakura with a sad face.
Chandler who heard her confirmation realised that all this wasn't his fault at all. He understood why he has been dreaming the same thing everyday nonstop. He understood why he always felt that he lacked something and the feeling he had when Layla said the dream he had was that of his parents.
"What!!??? So that's why I didn't awaken the affinity?? That's why you never felt received because of that. So that's why I always made a strange dream every night, seeing two individuals?" Asked Chandler which a sad face and shocked look. He felt like his own world was crumbled right now.
"What!!?? You have been dreaming about two individuals every night? Why didn't you tell us about it Chandler" Said Sir Zolritch who was shocked to what he said.
So he has been doubting and dreaming about things but he didn't bother ask them? But why? That was the question wandering in his mind.
"WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE, HUH? WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE ABOUT IT? You would have just say that it was a passive thing or you would have told me the truth at that instant?"
Chandler was blatantly shouting at Sir Zolritch not caring about anything. He couldn't contain his emotions at that very moment. This was really so much for his to bare. He has been living with peoples, thinking that he was their child but ends up that he wasn't even on their lineage. Just adopted by them. This was scandalous for him.
He then started explaining all about what her dreamt all night leaving nothing since Sir Zolritch asked about it. Both him and Sakura were shocked as he finished saying it. He just told them that he didn't tell them since he wasn't sure of it and just let it at the back if his head.
"We don't know what to say about it Chandler. They might be your real parents as Layla said. I also heavily think so. They are your real parents" Mouthed Sakura with a sad expression while Sir Zolritch was just as sad as her.
Chandler who was curious about how he ended up here, asked them about it.
"So how did I end up being your fake child for all this years?" He said so while infasizing on the word fake which hurt Sakura badly as some strands of tears left her eyes.
"It all happened 15years and 3months ago. It was at night close to 10pm. We were both in our room upstairs when we heard door bell downstairs. Sakurai went to the door and saw there was nobody and she was then surprised by a some of a baby's cry below her feet. Looking down, she saw a basket with a baby inside. That baby was you Chandler. You were still nine months old by that time. Sakiri called for you mum downstairs and she showed her what she saw at the door step. She also called me and I came at that instant. We were both amazed by you and she immediately developed love for you and same for me. It has been five years that we marriage and didn't have a child. So we didn't bother to search who left you there and we decided to take you as our child. We took care of you as a real Zolritch and always love you so much. We took you as our own real child not even telling people who were too curious about the truth like Heathcliff and Margaret." Explained Sir Zolritch with a sad face. He was feeling so down at that moment that he was like he could just collapse there and then.
Chandler who heard all this was still shocked. So he was abandoned by his own parents. That's what ran in his heard at this moment. What did he do for them to abandon him? Was a demon or was he that repulsive? Or was it that they didn't have that love for him at all?
All those questions could only stayed unanswered since he has to ask it to the concerned ones. But where will he find them at this time. He didn't talk at that moment and just stayed silent.
"Chandler, we know we should have told you all this since but we feared that you will take it the other way. We love you with all our heart and care for. We never meant to hurt you in anyway. We just didn't want to see you hurt and feel bad after knowing that you aren't our son. But that doesn't matter at all because we take as one. We love you and that's all that matters. You are a Zolritch now and we are very sorry for telling you this at this moment." Explained Sakura with watering eyes. She was fully crying not being able to control her eyes from watering.
Chandler just smiled at looked at her. But this wasn't a smile which meant he was happy at all. This was all the contrary.
"You just didn't want to hurt me huh? What do you think you have done right now huh? You have hurt me so much Sakura"
That was the first time he called her by her name which hurt her bad as her watering increased. Chandler continued...
"This is the highest thing that pained me in my whole life. I always felt that I was a deficit to this family. I read a lot about the past Zolritch that I felt really bad that I didn't awaken the signature affinity. This was a burden for me all this time. Meanwhile I wasn't even knowing that it wasn't my fault, I wasn't knowing that I am not from this lineage. I wasn't knowing that my own parent that I thought were my real parent weren't even mine. I didn't know that my real parent abandoned me for whatever reason"
Chandler lashed out at them and started crying the same as Sakura with every word leaving his mouth being like venom spat upon her heart.
"You kept all this to protect me as you say but am asking myself from what you wanted to protect me. You say you love me but if you really did love me, you would have told me the truth ever since from the beginning. You let 16years past before telling I wasn't who I think I was."
"Do you know what, I HATE EVERYBODY IN THIS HOUSE. I HATE ALL ABOUT THIS FAKE FAMILY AND I HATE YOU TWO TO TYE BUTTOM OF MY HEART" Chandler shouted and ran out of the Livingroom with teary eyes.
"Wait Darling we are sorry for all this" Said Sakura who was already very hurt after he said he hate them. Standing up to follow Chandler, he wrist was held by Sir Zolritch
"Leave him alone my queen, he needs to be alone"
"But my baby is hurt and he hates me" said Sakura with her still crying eyes.
"He said that out of anger Sakura, when he will be alright, we can go talk to him"
Sakura said on the sofa and cried out on Sir Zolritch's chest to her heart satisfaction while he just caressd her head. It wasn't that he wasn't hurt at all but he was just being rational and controlled his emotion. This was the first time that the sweets and caring Chandler acted to them like this. He was cold and always close to himself but never did he lift his voice up on them.
All this was heard by Sakiri who was standing there by the wall as she started crying too. She felt sad for Chandler and the others in the living room. For the years of work she spend here, she started developing love for them and specially for Chandler.
Chandler who didn't want to see anyone just ran out of the house. He didn't care to pass through the gate and just jumped the wall which was nothing for him after all these 11years of training intensely.
