Ch. 5The return of My sibling


The long-awaited day is arrived. Today is the day when My Mother's arranged marriage to me will end. "Yes, soon everything will be over." Remembering that today is the day I will introduce Axel to my parents, especially My Mother. Since morning, My Mother has been busy with, her work in the kitchen. She started ordering some Food and also, cooked some of her favorite dishes such as soy sauce chicken, capcay, and fuyunghai. My Mother is good at cooking, But she only does it at certain times. When I headed to the dining room, I was surprised to see the dining table full of food.

" Mom, are we going to have a party? Why is there so much food? Will Mom invite someone? "
" Yeah. We will welcome the future son-in-law of this house. It is not like that? "
" What?! Future son-in-law? "I said in surprise, stammering.

Hearing My Mother say Son-in-law made the hairs on The Back of my neck quiver. How surprised I am now. Even though My Mother's previous agreement only asked me to bring my lover to meet her. I never thought that My Mother would immediately think of it like that. I started to panic and become confused. At first, I thought that after I introduced Axel to My Mother, My Problem would be resolved. However, it seems that this is just wishful thinking. I thought it would be easy to face My Mother this time.
Previously, I had sent the location of my house and arrival time to Axel via a short message. I asked Axel to come at seven in the evening. I hope Axel will not be late because I am reluctant to give My Mother any more excuses. I am afraid Axel suddenly will not be able to come, and Mother will become increasingly suspicious of me. At almost seven o'clock in the evening, there was no sign of Axel's arrival. I started to worry and tried to go back to the room and contact him.

I was like someone who was frantically waiting for the prospective groom. Axel can not be contacted. When I call, it is always diverted. I started to get annoyed and increasingly anxious. My Mother had called my name several times and asked me to immediately go to the dining room because my father was already there waiting for me.

" How about this? Why can't he be contacted? "I muttered irritably. Finally, I approached the dining room with a fluttering feeling, not because I was in love, it's just that I didn't know what to say if Axel didn't come.
I felt like I was going to have a meeting between two families seeing so much food on the dining table. You could say this was the last time I experienced this when my brother was living abroad.

"Mom, isn't this too much?"
"It's okay, sit down."
"Where is your boyfriend? Are you still stuck in traffic?"
" What? That--"
"Why are you acting like this? Has something happened?" asked My Mother.

I panicked even more and couldn't say a word. I feel My lie will be exposed when I haven't started at all. I thought it was my fate to be matched by my parents. I felt annoyed with Axel. I didn't think that the man was trying to lie to me. Even though we have agreed in black and white and even with a stamp. I think that guy is one of the swindlers who happened to meet me.

In my heart, I kept cursing and scolding the man named Axel. I realized that my parents were looking at me with confused faces. Finally, I tried to explain to both of them. Just as I was about to Explain the truth, I heard the doorbell ring. Mother, who was waiting for an explanation from me, suddenly stood up with a smiling face and approached the main door.

"Well, that is him. "My Mother said as she rushed to open the door.
" What? H-Him? "

I felt relieved if it was Axel. Maybe my anxiety is unwarranted right now. I felt Bad because I had blindly cursed him in my mind. I smiled a little in relief because I thought Axel was coming. I kept my eyes on the hallway where My Mother would appear with the guest she had been waiting for. From his voice, it seemed like I knew him very well, but it was not Axel's voice. I am still trying to guess, Maybe my hearing is wrong.

The more I studied, the more I heard the voice of someone I recognized.
"T-This isn't a voice-" Before I could finish my words, the figure I was afraid of appeared. I immediately gasped, stood up and then dropped the spoon that I was holding.

"B-Brother!!! "My words out loud just slipped from my lips.

Like in a soap opera, it was like there a scary music in my mind when I saw my brother right in front of me. A very unexpected situation for me. I didn't expect that my brother would come back so soon. My plans suddenly disappeared. My mind started to get confused. Seeing me so surprised made my sister look at me strangely.

"Why are you so surprised? Are you not happy with my arrival? "My brother said hello.

I was still shocked and could only stare at him in silence. My thoughts started to get mixed up. I hope that Axel doesn't come today. My brother came over to me and hugged me tightly. Then, he rubbed my head and said How much he missed his little sister. I could only laugh and try to stay calm even though I was starting to panic.

" Wow, there's a party, right? Do not worry Mom, do you cook this much? Did mom know that I was coming home? "
" Oh, this, mother deliberately cooked and also ordered some food because--"
Before My Mother had time to continue what she had said I immediately cut her off.
" Of course, you know a mother must have strong feelings, right?"

My brother just nodded while My Mother looked at my face in surprise.

I tried to blink my eyes at My Mother to give a code that I did not want to discuss my future boyfriend's problems. My mother did not seem to understand that and tried to re-explain what my sister had previously asked.

Just as my mother was about to explain, Suddenly, I heard the sound of the doorbell again. I was amazed again. Could it be Axel who came? a Family Gathering that will happen. I don't know how I am going to explain it to the judge later. My mother and I started looking at each other. Meanwhile, My Father and My Brother seemed silent while looking at the two of us.

"Did you invite anyone?" My Brother asked The mother.
