WHAT!!!!!!

Miara tried to hold back her tears.

She tried to calm herself by self-assuring that he might be busy with his dad's work.

Just to avoid embarrassment and to not let Jason hear her crying she thought that she should just say goodbye.

"Well no problem Jassy, I understand you have your reasons. Lets take a rain check this time. Well let me know if i can help in anything, I am always available." There was pain and regret in Miara's voice.

Just as she was about to say goodbye Jason said " Well I need you right now."

Miara was caught by surprise and didn't know what he was talking about.

"What?"

"You know I have to go receive my brother from the airport today and...."

Miara cut Jason half way through what he was speaking "Are you trying to fool me. You don't have a brother that is why we have always been the two of us. What the hell are you talking about it is not funny. Don't spoil my mood I am already very worked up because I know a person who calls himself my best friend, then disappears for the whole summer and does not have time to ave dinner with me."

***"Angry young woman will you at least listen to the whole thing. It is more serious than you think." ***Jason said in a literal serious tone.

Miara was agitated by this tone of his because it is so not him. He and seriousness are two different routes of a road. "Well you sound serious so I'll listen to your story but don't think that I have forgiven you."

"Okay so listen to me very carefully."

Jason continues to speak:

"When your mom and my mom were in school they were not the only best friends. There was another my elder aunt, Aunt Charlotte, she is my mom's first cousin. The best trio of school 'Amanda, Alice and Charlotte'. They did everything together bunked classes together, troubled teachers together, went to the same tutor and even had boyfriends together. If one started dating the other two would find themselves boyfriends. It was during the time aunt Charlotte got a boyfriend and unfortunately the boyfriend she got was my father. During this time your mother and your father had fallen in love and my mom was dating the football teams captain just for the fun of it. One day aunt came crying to mom and aunt Alice saying that she was sorry. Both of them wanted to know what was happening so my aunt broke the secret that my dad actually had to marry the elder miss of the Lin family. My mom was the elder miss of the Lin family."

"What? Then what happened?"Miara asked she was really interested in the story that her mom never told her.

"Then mom married dad, they decided to separate after a month. Well I guess happiness wasn't in their fate then. Aunt Charlotte got pregnant. Grandpa Lin decided to exile her from the Lin territory and gave her a house to live and some servants. He nudged her to abort the child but the doctor said that if she aborts a child at this young age she might not be able to give birth again. When dad went to confess to grandpa Lin that the child in aunt Charlotte's womb was his grandpa said never mind, and warned him that his forever priority is mom now and he should forget about aunt Charlotte now. Dad was devastated and he told all this to mom. Mom decided to tell Grandpa Lin that she had no interest in this marriage and would like to part away from dad. Grandpa Lin put up a show of falling ill and mom and were so innocent they fell for it and let the matter settle down but grandpa Lin didn't stop with his tricks. When aunt Charlotte gave birth to her child she was poisoned after giving birth to my half brother. She asked servant Peter to tell mom and dad that she would like to see them. Aunt Charlotte in her last few minutes asked my parents to stay together forever and raise her's and my father's son and give birth to a child so that their family would be complete. After that she died. Aunt Alice cried a lot at that time and she helped my mom find out about who poisoned their best friend. Turned out that it was one of my Grandpa's servant. After that mom dad left the city with my brother without any trace so that both their families would let them live peacefully to figure what to do next. At this time dad and mom fell in love and decided to stay together. This is when I was born. Mom was really sorry that she couldn't attend aunt Alice's wedding. Things have turned out quite well now. My half brother was in Chicago living with his grand mother but now dad wants him to come back and take charge of his responsibilities as the eldest son of the family."

"Your trying to say that you have had a half brother until now and we know nothing about it." Miara was stuttering while talking.

"Everybody knows about it except you and Alex. Well mom loves my brother quite a lot, I am thankful that I have a big brother that I can rely on, aunt Alice has someone who reminds her of her dead best friend and dad has his next heir and the symbol of his old love. So ya."

"Your not kidding right?" Miara asked sill not believing.

" YES MIARA HE IS MY ONE AND ONLY BROTHER!" Jason screamed through the phone.

Miara let out in shock,"WHAT!!"
