Chapter 97 - Plan Changed (2/2)

” Hey bro! How's it going?” He sounded energetic.

” Things are way better now. Your dad is having a heart-to-heart conversation with your sis.” I replied with confidence.

” Hmm, finally. I bet he's begging for mercy. Damn! old geezer can't tolerate such humiliation.” He got a totally different meaning of my words. Revenge is still polluting his mind.

” No, Neil. You're wrong. I may not told you this beforehand but you need to listen what I'm about to say.” I continued to explain everything to him including all the previous mistakes that Mr. Carlton made. The conversation I had with Mr. Carlton, was purely my idea. I haven't talked about it with anyone.

It's true that I'm not the one who should confess the personal stuffs of someone else. But if I remember correctly, Neil once told me about the unknown past of Stella. Without that information I couldn't have fixed my blunders.

That's why it's my duty to give him a better picture of the past and help him to analysis the truth distinguishably. Rest is up to him though. Judging by Neil's personality I'm bit worried. He's not like Stella. His stubborn nature and his pent up frustration for his father may turn up to be a big obstacle.

” This is just so.... massively excessive. I mean hearing about it from you, makes me rethink the whole thing again and again. Like.... I can now put the missing piece of puzzle to it's place. Wow! Ah.... I don't know what to say...” I can't see his expression but I knew he was feeling quite surprised.

” Look, it must be hard for you to process it. But you gotta talk to your dad and sort it out. We need to bring everything back to normal.” The real plan was to continue this thing for a week and then turn it back to normal as it was. But I feel there's no need for this. Once Neil talks to his dad he can sympathise with Mr. Carlton.

” What!? It's not been a week! We can't just ditch the plan on halfway.” He yelled out frantically, making my ear ache.

” Screw the plan. Meet up with your dad tomorrow-”

” No way! I-I can't... I c-can't do it alone!” Neil stutters with anxiety.

” Okay fine. We will be there with you, cool?”

” Seriously I really don't wanna talk to him. It's just..... I feel so anxious.” He sighed.

” What the fuċk! He's your dad, not some serial killer!” Being annoyed by his cowardly behaviour I yelled out in malice.

” Fuck my life!” Neil cursed on his woeful life.

” I'm ending the call. Goodnight Neil. Take care of yourself and don't you dare to ditch on us.” With a serious tone, I grumbled at him.

” Yeah whatever.” He replied unwillingly. As the call ended I put my phone into the pocket and retuned back to the room.

As soon I entered there, I saw a very heart warming view. Stella, Mr. and Mrs. Carlton, all three of them sat down on the sofa, crying and hugging each other.

It's not the tear of agony but the tear of joy and victory. I can't tell at a glance that they were shedding tears of happiness as they were reunited.
