From, that day onward the cute and cheerful boy was gone.All that left was a cold and aloof person.
According to Albert,it was due to the fact that he was too weak that he couldn't protect his parents.
If he had been stronger, his father wouldn't have gone missing and his mother wouldn't have gone into shock after learning about his father's disappearance which led to her giving birth prematurely and losing her life.
Only if he had been stronger, nothing like this would've happened.
Since then. Albert thrived to grow stronger and worked harder than anyone.
He grew stronger and grew day by day, month by moth and year by year.
His success seem to have no bound.
But, the more successful he got, the less emotions he started to display.
He became cold and aloof.A barrier was around him that made people unable to approach him.
The only time there was warmth in his eyes was when he was with precious little sister to whom he gave a name himself.
Ariana.
He gave him all the luxuries in the world and raised her to be elegant and well-mannered young lady.
BACK TO THE PRESENT
Albert walked to his study table and retrieved a photo frame from a drawer.
It was a photo taken almost a month prior James's disappearance.
A family of three was happily smiling in the photo.
A extremely beautiful Katherine was beaming while looking at James in the eyes while James looked back lovingly.Albert was standing in between them like a third-wheel.Not only that a small cutting of a photo of a little girl was pasted beside James's figure.
The little girl in the photo was one other than Ariana.
When she was younger,Ariana's schoolmates all had a family photo with their parents except for her.
So she decide to get a family photo with her brother , mother and father.
Albert clearly remembered how furious he was when he found the last photo taken with his parents missing from his room.
Ariana was only five at that time and Albert nine.
When he heard from the servants that Ariana entered his room while he was away.
He angrily went to Ariana's room only to find her in a mess.
She was holding something in her hand and looking at it with a satisfied smile on her face.
hen Albert moved closer and saw what was in her hand and he was shocked.
Ariana saw that her elder brother has returned and said excitedly,"Big Bro,look now its a family photo of the four of us.You,me,mom and dad."
Albert's eyes grew redder as he hugged Ariana tightly.
"Yes, it is"He had replied with a choked voice.
Albert hugged the photo and couldn't help but feel emotional
It has been a long time since he had recalled his childhood memories.
When he recalled how his mother told him that he would understand what love is when he would experience it himself.
Today, he finally realized what love is.
Its something you cannot describe but feel it yourself.
Albert touched Katherine's face in the photo and said in a low voice,"Mom, i understand it now."
'I now know what it is like to be in love because i have fallen in love."Albert thought to himself as a bright smile appeared on his face.
he smile was the same as when his mother told him that she loved him the most.
Albert threw himself on his bed.The photo frame now lying on his chest.
He closed his eyes as Suzain's smiling face flashed across his eyes,
Albert covered his eyes with one hand and and said with helplessness.
"Suzain Bright, I have fallen in love with you.."
