65 He is your patient? (1/2)

”Get in, why are you guys standing at the door?”

Both of them entered, Lucy was feeling guilty for making him worry and she was stunned for being hugged in front of the couple. Martin was in a relieved yet angry state. Ren and Ria were examining the young man without blinking. Ria guided them to the sofa in the living room.

They both sat on the three seater while Ren sat on the two seater. Ria brought four glasses and poured some wine in each. When she moved to sit on the single seater opposite to Ren, he pulled her gently and she landed beside him inbetween his arms.

Ria gave him a questioning look while raising her eyebrow but Ren shook his head lightly gesturing nothing. Then they both looked at the young people in the room. Martin sensed their gazes and coughed a little. Ria averted her gaze but Ren's gaze never left him. His expression was complicated like his daughter has brought her boyfriend home for the first time.

Ria felt the atmosphere suffocating, she thought, 'This is so awkward!' Lucy didn't look like she will open her mouth soon. So Ria asked, ”Young man, You are?...” Martin continued, ”I'm Martin Orion, General Manager of Orion Enterprises”. Ria nodded and said politely, ”Nice to meet you, Mr.Orion. I'm Rianna Raj, Lucy's sister and...”

She looked at Ren who also met her eyes and continued with a lovely smile, ”this gentleman here is my Fiance, Ren Kozhaksi”. Martin stood up, shaked both of their hands and settled back into his seat. Lucy was simply looking at the three without saying anything. Ria looked at her and said, ”So Lu? He is your patient or something?”

She looked at Ria and said with a forced smile, ”Uh... Kind of”. Martin didn't say anything and waited for Lucy to announce their relationship properly. Lucy looked at Martin's face for a minute then she let put a long sigh which she never knew she was holding in and said to Ria reluctantly, ”He is my... Boyfriend”. Ria gave off a bright smile and said, ”That's really great, Lu!”

Lucy's expression kind of relaxed a little, then Ria looked at her watch and said, ”You guys should leave early, it's already late. We will have a double date someday!” She winked at Lucy and looked at Ren, who was in a frozen state since they walked in. As expected he didn't react much. Martin was the one who stood up first, followed by Lucy and the couple.

Ria said before Lucy enter the elevator, ”Text me after you reach home”. Lucy nodded but Ria remembered something and pulled her aside from Martin. She asked her, ”I need a favour, Lu!” Lucy didn't think much and said, ”Sure, What do you need?” Ria said, ”My friend from Milan is here. Can you take him for sightseeing tomorrow?”

Lucy thought for minute to check her schedule and said, ”Yeah, I can do that”. Ria said ponting her chin towards Ren who standing next to their room door in the corridor and checking his phone, ”Well it is a he! You know your brother-in-law, that is why I had to ask you”. Lucy shook her head and said, ”Did I ask for an Explanation, No problem Ria. Its been a while since I relaxed too”.

Ria smiled and asked looking at Martin who was standing near the elevator and answering a phone call, ”It's not a problem with him right?” Lucy looked at Martin and said immediately, ”No! No! Tin understands me and trust me. He gets anxious sometimes but we will talk it through and I trust him equally too so I never mind these things when it comes to him either”.

Ria squinted her eyes and asked, ”You don't mind when he is with another woman?” Lucy shook her head and said confidently, ”No! I said before right, I trust him!” Ria's lips smiled but her eyes didn't as she said, ”Jealousy has nothing to do anything with trust, Lu. We are going to have a lengthy talk about this guy later, You get me?”
