Chapter 17
ARIES POV
We reached home and as we entered Lola's and mumma were sitting in the garden. They immediately got up seeing us and came towards us as I was supporting dad and Jay was holding Kuya and they helped us and took us inside. First aid box were brought.
Mumma Gemma " How did this happen?how are you all injured? How are you all together?Aries and Jay you two were in school and , Julz and Angelo you two were in company then how?
Dad Julz " we were ambushed by some men. I think the Hanamitchi's are panicking as their hold on us is slipping. And we also got to know many things like our relatives are stealing from us and we were not getting good contract because those Hanamitchi's were creating problems and stealing our investors it was not because of the accident they just used the accident as an excuse. "
That shocked Mumma, Lola and me. Jay was sitting quietly as if it was all normal.
Mumma " if you were ambushed who saved you? How did both of you reach them? "
We all looked at Jay. She was giving a big smile showing all her teeth.
Mumma " why are you all looking at Jay like that. Do you want to say she fought big muscley men "
Lola(understanding)" you must have had time of your life while fighting "
Jay" after a long time it was this much fun" (she did a fake stretch and sat down)
Mumma " Jay, are you injured anywhere"
Jay " No, tita my enemies get injured not me " (Mumma gives her a look Lola gives a light slap on the head and Kuya and Dad went to rest)
Mumma" oh really 😏🤨....
Jay " Tita you did same thing as Kuya HeHeHe!!! In this expression you both looked the same"
Mumma " obviously he is my son. What do you want I want to give you something "
After some thinking
Jay " Keifer...I mean don't want anything as such . But in the evening Keifer is coming to see you . Please ask Aries to behave.
Aries " excuse me, what do you mean by that , do you think we are ill mannered, and you should ask him to not to annoy me"
Jay " you were his friend for 10 years is that possible"😶
Lola " is he the same guy that helped Gemma, who is he do you know him . I couldn't even thank him "
(Kuya Angelo was listening and watching everything)
Mumma " Don't worry they will not do anything . Aren't wou affected by the fight. "
That made Lola laugh. Then she told us about one of sword fighting match that was stimulated as a warrior zone. She almost had a heart attack watching her fight like that.
Mumma " he is a very good guy. But he is a Watson "
(Then she and Lola had a weird look)
JAY'S POV
After freshening up and resting for a bit I went downstairs. I wanted to make a snack for Keifer. Oh my God I am feeling so weird but in a good way. 🥰
I went down and started prepping for evening snacks for everyone. Slowly everyone started coming out of their room and they were staring at me cooking as if I was the 8th wonder.
Jay" whybare you guys staring at me like that. I have cooked before too right"
Lola" Mostly I have to force you to cook. Right now you are cooking on your own its a rare sight"
Jay " uff!! You guys don't distract me let me cook and taste this "
Kuya Angelo (tasting)" this is weirdly good what is this?"
Jay " Taco ranch bites with mango salsa"
Just then there was a knock on the door and Keifer and Keigan came in without a bouquet and he saw me in apron. Ufff ! He is early. Then Keigan greeted everyone.
Tita Gemma" oh my Gosh . Keigan you have grown so much . You have turned into quiet a handsome man. (That made him blush)and Keifer where is Keiren you both left him alone."
Keifer " Tita don't blame us he is at home playing video games. He is addicted to video gaming .(he was talking to Tita but looking at me.) How did you get injured cousin in law ...I mean Angelo.(this man)"
Then we sat on dinning table and were having snacks.
Lola " you are lucky. I mostly had to force her to cook. She cooked for you with her own wish.
(He gave a shy smile and I tried to look nonchalant as if didn't hear anything. Why Lola? Why?)
KEIFER'S POV
I feel so happy and very giddy inside that Jay specially cooked for me . But I need to know what is happening first Tita, then Angelo and Tito. Both Angelo and Aries were staring at me and eating as if warning me. Just then Yajna enters with her sister. That changed both Keigan and Angelo's behavior. Their was legit shift in Keigan's behavior. He became attentive . His pupils got dilated. He even offered seat beside him and there Angelo was talking to Yajna's sister, his whole focus was on her and his eyes were also shining.
And my Jay with her eyes down behaving as if her whole focus was on the food. She remembered that I once said that I wanted to try Mexican cuisine. This is the bestest dish I have ever tasted. Just then Aries got a call and I saw photo of a girl and it was not Ella and he immediately excused himself and took the call.
I am thinking of talking to Percy . About what really happened during the accident. He was not at all angry with Aries as we thought instead he was happiest meeting him. Instead he is angry at Yuri . We spent some more time there and came back. I have already appointed a man to get information regarding Hanamitchi's. Lets see what will be the result.
