flashback
Our family is having breakfast when my son King speaks.
" Mom and Dad do you have a meeting today? Specifically this night around seven PM. " I give him a look and I can say that he is happy.
" We don't have errand this day my dear, why? " my wife answers back.
" I just wanted to invite the of you to M hotel this night. "
" I'm asking why, is there an occasion? Do you close a million deal ?" and my wife laugh. I didn't speak up because I know my wife is just teasing our son.
" You will know when both of you go. So, are you going? "
" If you will tell me what it is all about then we are going."
" Urghh come on mom stop teasing me " both of us laugh as we see my son's face full of annoyance.
" Fine fine we will come. Stop frowning you look ugly " and then she laughs. One of my wife's hobbies is to tease our child.
" Come on mom you know how hot and handsome I'm. " and she smirks at his mom.
" OMG, my baby is so handsome. Come to mommy and give me a kiss. " and she raises her hands to open acting like ready to hug King.
" Mom you are teasing me again. I'm done eating I'll go now. See you later, don't forget okay. " he walks out of the dining.
The smile on my wife's face fades and she put down the spoon and fork.
" She will marry Isabelle's child. " not a question but a statement.
" How did you know. Don't think too much maybe he just wanted to dine with us. And if he will marry Claire there will be no problem. You are the one who told me that our child is not part of our issue with Isabelle. Our story is already done both of us are now happy. "
" I know that it has nothing to be worried but how about Isabelle we both know that you love each other so much before our marriage. When both of you broke up she didn't interrupt us."
" It is because we talk and she understands me after we broke up. Don't tell me you still think that we still both have feelings for each other? " she looks at me with a 'what' expression.
" Of course not. I know how much you love me. I don't know why I feel scared. "
" Nothing to be scared of. Maybe just the thought of your child being married scares you. "
" I hope it is. " That day the hour passed fast. We are now heading to our hotel. The moment we reach the Hotel someone opens the door for us and there is an employee who is in line at the front of the building. They bow and greeted us, my wife greeted back and smiles at them. She pinches me in my belly when I didn't greet her back. I just look at her.
" Why didn't you greet them I told you that always greet them back even just a nod will do. "
" Okay okay, I'm sorry. Let's go your child is already waiting for us. " as we go inside the room where my child reserved we saw him walking back and forth. He walks toward us and gave her mom a hug. I just tapped his shoulder.
" Do you have a problem? Why are walking back and forth? " I ask him as we seated.
" None, just don't mind me. " and he smiled. I just nodded.
" Aren't we going to eat now? or we are waiting for Claire? "
" Claire will be coming let just wait for her. She texted me tells that she is already in her way. " After a few minutes we heard a knock and the door opens. My son stands up to welcome his girlfriend and her mom. I looked at my wife the moment I saw who is the one with Claire. She taps my lap and she whispers " I think my guess is correct. " Claire greets us and gives a kiss to my wife's cheek. When Claire and her mom were seated, Isabelle speak.
"So my I ask why did you guys call for a family dinner? Don't get me wrong having a family dinner is a great bonding but I can sense that you didn't call us just for that."
"Why don't you guys straight it to the point? Do you call us for your wedding announcement right ?"
Isabelle being Isabelle she wanted everyone to be straight to the point. That's one of the reasons why it is not hard when both of us broke up. She just told me that " tell what you wanted to tell I will understand whatever it is ". And she did the last thing she told me is "I love you so much if being with her will lessen the burden that you have then I will set you free even that will cause me so much pain. "
Later on, King announced that he and Claire are already engaged. I and my wife congratulate them both. But Isabelle opposes it however, the couple is determined to be married. Isabelle stands up and maybe because of the sudden emotion she spills our past. The children are confused about what is Isabelle was saying. The next thing that she said shocked us.
"Stop right there woman. Do you want to marry your sibling?" Isabelle said and everything turns into chaos.
