High School: Way to Forever
Chapter 35: Who is that boy?
Next day
Anna got ready for school. Same routine, same things. But one thing was changed, that was her attitude.
She was always a shy type of person but from the past few days she was opening up more. She was exploring.
There was always, healthy flirting between her and Alex.
Nothing more.
On her way back, she thought of buying something for her mother. It was her mother's favorite noodles. She knew someone was coming today so she bought some extra of it.
When she reached home, her mother told her that the guests were not there yet.
"Go, get ready. Get the dress more formally."
"But why mom?"
"Don't ask questions just get ready."
Her wardrobe was mostly filled with informal clothes.
'I surely don't have clothes.' she thought to herself.
But she picked a dark blue color knee-length dress. With it, she paired one silver heel, not much high. She straightens up her hair and wore silver-colored round earrings.
'This is perfect.'
She had heard the bell ringing and she knew the guest is already here.
She went downstairs and she was shocked to see her Addie Uncle whom she hadn't met for the last 3 years. But sitting beside him was a beautiful lady in a white dress. golden hairs reached till her shoulders which complimented her skin color.
Anna went towards them,
"Hello, uncle."
"Anna, you are so big now. It's almost 3 years!" they both hugged each other. The only person in her maternal family whom she liked was her Uncle Addie. He was unmarried even at such age. If asked why he would say he hadn't found his match.
"Anna, this is my girlfriend and my future wife Zara."
They both greeted each other.
"So that's why you are here. To do a family introduction, right?" joked Anna.
Addie also laughed but he added, "I'm here also because of some other reasons."
"Why don't you both go outside and take a walk?" Mother Marrie suggested. She knew there must be something Addie wanted to tell Anna and he would only tell her.
They both walked outside leaving Mother Marrie and Zara to talk.
...
"Anna do you know I always thought that it was my mistake that I was never able to stop sister from getting married to that demon."
"I know uncle."
"The only thing I love about his, I'm thankful for this thing that he gave you and your brother. You have received his braveness and sharp mind. This is the only thing which I admire in your father and for which I'm thankful that this is passed on to you."
Anna rarely saw her uncle speaking so emotionally. How far her memory goes, she remembered he was a tough man.
"What happened Uncle? Why so emotional talks today?"
Addie took a deep breath.
"You know that one car was following you right?"
Anna nodded. She remembered a car following her and Alex that day.
"Well, someone told me that, that car belonged to The Spider group. You very well know them. Who exactly they are."
"I know," said Anna. How can she forget this group?
They both stared at the sky.
The silence was there.
....
....
"Has grandfather met Zara?" suddenly asked Anna.
"That old man doesn't need to meet her. I wanted her to meet my family that is you and your mother. He is just a blood relation, not a family." clarified Anna.
"I asked him about what happened in the past. A-About G-Grandma." Anna was not sure she should say this or not. She was nervous.
"So now you know why we both never took after our father's name?"
"Yeah."
"He is not qualified for being called a father."
"Uncle, for some time, I don't want to be involved in those things."
He glanced at her. He knew she isn't ready to face those things, her past, her enemies. But it can't be delayed.
"Enjoy a daily life for a while."
To lighten the mood, they stopped talking about all those people.
"Oh uncle, When is the marriage? I wanna go on shopping!!" Anna asked. She wanted to attend his marriage. It has been so while that she attended one.
"We are planning right now. Maybe at end of the month."
"So early?" asked Anna as she was surprised.
"It's not early. Her family wants that we should settle as soon as possible as I'm not young anymore neither is she."
"There are so, many preparations. This is cheating!"
Changing the topic Addie asked,
"Who is that boy?"
