Chapter 8 - Chapter-8

10 Years later,

"Mom, where are you?" A boy asked. "Yes honey! What happened?" A woman asked. "See what I found." The boy said. "It's you, dad and who is this uncle?" The boy asked. Heidi was shocked. "Where did you find this?" Heidi asked. "I found this in the attic." The boy said. "James, I told you not to go to the attic." Heidi said. "I'm sorry but I was curious about that..." James said. "We are curious about many things but not everything is meant to be seen. Sometimes it's just not right." Heidi said. "What happened, Heidi?" Jacob asked. "Go to your room." Heidi said to James. "What?" Jacob asked. "He went to the attic." Heidi said. "And?" Jacob asked. "He found this." Heidi said. "Henry?" Jacob asked. "Yes, he found Henry's photo." Heidi said. "What's the big deal in this?" Jacob asked. "Really, Jacob?" Heidi asked. "What?" Jacob asked. "James look just like Henry, Jacob... If he found any photo of Henry of his age, he will raise some questions, and not the simple questions... Bitter questions." Heidi said. "I wish my mom could see him." Jacob said. "I am sad that we were unable to tell her the truth even when she was on her deathbed." Heidi said. "Hmm." Jacob said. (Baby crying) "Oh no, she is awake." Heidi said. Heidi and Jacob ran to the room. "Hey baby, it's mommy." Heidi said. "Hey Samantha, it's me... Your daddy." Jacob said. "She can't understand you." Heidi said. "She can't understand you either." Jacob said. "Hahaha Very Funny." Heidi said. Heidi took Samantha in her hands. "Yes, yes, yes, it's me... Mommy." Heidi said. (Baby Giggles) "See, she can understand me." Heidi said. "Hmmm, I am leaving for office, bye." Jacob said and went. "Oh your daddy is so jealous of me." Heidi said. "I am not jealous of you!" Jacob said from outside. "Bye bye!" Heidi said. Jacob went to office.

"Hey Jacob, have you heard that?" George asked. "Heard what?" Jacob asked. "We have our new boss today, Mr Kowalski is retired now." George said. "Really? Who is our new boss?" Jacob asked. "His name is... I think Henry." George said. "Oh really?" Jacob asked. "Yes, Henry Gerard George, his full name." George said. "Wha-what?" Jacob asked. "Yes." George said. "You are kidding, aren't you?" Jacob asked. "No, I am not." George said. "Is it only a coincidence or something?" Jacob asked. "Coincidence about what?" George asked. "This is my late brother's name." Jacob said. "Whole same?" George asked. "Yes." Jacob said. "George, Jacob, come on... Our new boss is on the way... He will be here any minute." Katelina said. They both came inside the office. "Wow, so much decoration." Jacob said. "Yeah, because he is the youngest boss ever of this office." Katelina said. "Oh really?" Jacob asked. "Hmm." Katelina said. "He is here." Gerald said. The new boss enters the office. "Good Morning, sir... Welcome to the office." Katelina said. "Thank you." Henry said. Jacob was shocked because it was Henry, his late brother. "Hen-Henry?" Jacob asked. "Sorry?" Henry asked. "Is that you?" Jacob asked. "Yes, Mr. Jacob, I am that person you're thinking. Your late brother. But here, I am your boss." Henry said. "Where were you? Why didn't you come home? And how did you..." Jacob was saying but Henry interrupted. "Meet me in my cabin." Henry said and went to his cabin. (Jacob knocks) "Come in." Henry said. "Henry... My brother." Jacob said and tried to hug him. "Stop it, Mr Jacob... It's not your home, it's the office." Henry said. "Why are you being so rude?" Jacob asked. "Why can't I be rude? I am your boss, after all." Henry said. "You're my brother too." Jacob said. "I WAS your brother... You never wanted to find me? You didn't even try." Henry said. "Henry, we thought you're died... We had your dead body infront of us... Hanging on the fan." Jacob said. "You don't even identify your beloved brother? You didn't even see that the body had tattoos... And I don't have any." Henry said. "Whose body was that?" Jacob asked. "It was my twin brother... It was your little brother... Brother that we didn't know we had." Henry said. "What?" Jacob asked. "Yes... It was Harry... His name was Harry... I accidentally killed him and left a note for you... You didn't even read it carefully." Henry said. Jacob takes the note out of his pocket. "Jacob, it is my twin brother... Mom didn't tell us about him. I killed him accidentally, I am going away... Please don't try to find me. Henry." The note read. "You didn't even try to see why this note is folded in half." Henry said. "I am sorry, Henry." Jacob said. "Boss. I am your boss here." Henry said. "Please come back home." Jacob said. "To see how your family has grown up? I know that you have a son and a daughter." Henry said emotionally. "Henry please... Come home and I will tell you everything." Jacob said. "I don't wanna come." Henry said. "Please." Jacob said. "Okay, I will come... Tonight, 8 o'clock." Henry said.
