Sitting on fluffy couch of big mansion, aera looked around her surrounding completely mesmerized by the the look of mansion.
This mansion, was almost of same size as Mr Kim's mansion but it's interior was what caught her attention.
Mr kims mansion was modern with high tech equipments but this mansion held a vintage vibe..
She felt calm and serenity in it.
" Interior of this mansion was chosen by your mother .. It reminds me of hee mansion every single day " Mr Lee said as he sat beside aera and offered her soft drink
Smiling aera looked at him and back at mansion
" It is truly amazing.. Isn't it uncle? That how mere decoration can remind you of your loved ones " She said as she was lost in thoughts of her mother.
" How was your life aera? In NewYork with your father... " Mr Lee questioned his niece.
" It was good.. In fact it was the best I could ever wish for. Dad... He was with me in every step of my life. He raised without mom.. Without any help he was truly amazing..
I can't even think of struggles he must have gone through in his life to raise me.. All alone... Working overtime but still scheduling his day so he could play, talk with me " Aera said smiling sadly.
" That bastard was the only sane one in this family of yours " Mr Lee chuckled making aera look at him confused..
" What? "
" Let me tell you a story aera... Of your parents "
.
.
.
" They both used to hate each other. Used to bicker and fight whenever they saw each other. ".....
.
.
.
Leaning backwards aera smiled as she concentrated on her uncles words.
" I'll kill you " The girl yelled as she ran behind boy pushing aside everyone in college who came in her way
" But what the hell did I do now? "
" Why in the hell did you scare of my date huh? I'll kill you today!!! "
The girl shouted and launched herself on the boy but unfortunately her foot got stuck in roots of tree causing her to stumble and fall on ground.
She shrieked and was ready to be hit by rocks, unexpectedly she felt strong grip on her waist
Opening her eyes she looked into eyes of the boy she was running after.
Abruptly straightening herself she patted her dress and looked at boy again.. But this time she was met with much more intense stare on her.
" I - I thank you " She scolded herself for stuttering in front of her enemie.
Not wanting to embarrasse herself any further she tried to leave the site but the boy held her arms and pulled her towards his chest...
" You wanted to know why I scared that pussy date of yours huh? "
The girl looked anywhere but him
Smirking at her he grabbed her chin and tilted it making her eyes come in contact with his.
" Because " He leaned forward
The girl gulped as her breathing started to increase.
Noticing this effect on her the boy leaned further and kissed her throat..
To be exact on her Adams apple
" I "
He mumbled sending shivers run through her spine
" Love "
His lips moved upwards towards her chin
" You "
Finally his lips moved towards her lips.. But he didn't kiss her.. Not yet..
There breaths mingled together .
Not able to hold any longer the girl melted into temptation and kissed him
She kissed her crush
He kissed his love.
The fighting, taunting of enemies turned out to be playful banter of lovers...
" Then what happened? What causedy father to run from his home, what caused family to break apart " Aera questioned
Mr Lee took a deep breathe and prepared himself for dreadful part of the story.
" Both the families were once loyal friends and allies in business world. But things started happening. Both of your grandfather's they started fighting over small things... They were once best friends but the friendship began to fall apart... And one day all of sudden the ties were broken between both the families....
This happened before we were born.
.

Your father and mother started dating no one knew about it except me. I tried to break them apart during first month but then I knew they were madly and deeply in loveso I left them alone and helped them to date secretly.
But one day your father's Dad found them while they were on date.
He not even waiting for any second grabbed your father and took him to their house. You mother on other hand was dropped off by their guards at our house, the guards explained the circumstances which riled my dad's anger.
Both of them didn't see each other for months. Your dad stopped coming to college and your mom locked herself in her room.
I was sad, upset seeing them struggle. I couldn't stand seeing my sister lifeless and your dad, well he was my best friend so I knew how much he loved her.
One day I heard the news I never wanted to hear.
Your dad. He was arranged into marrying business rivals daughter.
I couldn't wait for any longer and went to find your dad...
He told me he was forced to marry that girl. He told me how much tired he was in life, fighting his father so he..
He wanted to die.
I helped them
My sister and your father to run away from this toxic world and family.
The day they went away my sister... She gave me most heartwarming news... That she was pregnant
I was going to be uncle
deep down I knew I won't be able to meet them, meet her again ever.. But I still sent her away from me..... "
By now Mr Lee had tears in his eyes remembering all those things.
Aera too had her eyes filled with tears as her heart pained for her mother and father while a deep resentment settled inside her for both sides of family
Where were they when her parents needed them
Why did her dads brother who he called as best buddie never helped him?
Why did her grandfather had to snatch away their happiness from them?
" Aera? Are you okay? " Mr Lee spoke softly snapping her out of her thought
" I'll be fine uncle. Just need some time to process everything "
" Aera can I ask you a question? " Mr Lee spoke after few minutes.
Nodding aera gestured him to continue.
" You are 21 right? Your parents left 23 years ago and your mother was pregnant at that time so does that mean - "
Before he could speak aera interrupted him
.
" Yes uncle I have a brother "
