After about 30 minutes of struggle, the tap was finally fixed back by Xio Lee and Rhehan. While Rose was sitting in one corner, snapping pictures of the two men in action!
After Xio Lee was done registering Rhehan"s hand prints on his scanner, the three of them sat for another cup of tea. Finally Rose and Rhehan were now ready to return back, after spending few hours with Xio Lee.
"Thank you so much you both, for coming over! This will always be a very special birthday for me!" Xio Lee hugged the two kids, emotionally.
They both hugged him back happily.
"And just trust each other and always support one another in difficult times. Ok!"
"Yes master!" The two, spoke in unison looking at each other.
Rose and Rhehan wished him good- bye and were about to sit in the car, when Rhehan turned back again and rushed to hug Xio Lee one more time. Xio Lee was taken aback for a few seconds and hugged back Rhehan, overwhelmed. He patted the boy"s head lovingly, just the way he used to do when Rhehan was just a toddler.
Rhehan closed his eyes as if absorbing every second of the beautiful feeling of Xio Lee"s hand touching his head.
He suddenly looked in Xio Lee"s eyes for a few seconds in confusion. "If you will not tell me, I will find it out myself! But I am now hundered percent sure, I have met you before. I do not know who you are to me, but all I know is that, I have craved for this touch all my life." Rhehan touched Xio Lee"s hand lovingly, smiling at him.
Xio Lee was left stunned by the boy"s words. All the patience that he had built in past few hours broke and tears started flowing down his eyes. Xio Lee closed his eyes and calmed himself down! He could not tell the boy the truth! Rhehan has to stay away from them! Atleast not till they find the sword and kill Davis! Davis is a very powerful man, he will instantly kill Rhehan, if he finds out Rhehan is his son!
Xio Lee opened his eyes and smiled at the boy. "You are blessed with a very sharp mind." He then patted Rhehan"s shoulders. "Just trust me and don"t try to find out anything! When the right time comes, I will tell you everything myself. For now, all you need to know is that, you were never alone! You are loved and will always be loved!"
Xio Lee"s words were too much for Rhehan to digest. An orphan, who had spent his entire life alone, was suddenly being told that he was being loved all his life!
Tears dropped down from Rhehan"s eyes as he looked in Xio Lee"s teary eyes. "Who are you?"
"Just trust me! Please be a little more patient!" Xio Lee wiped Rhehan"s tears with his hands and smiled at him.
"Ok! I trust you." Rhehan smiled at him and waved him goodbye.
Rose who was looking at the whole senario, from a distance was utterly confused and shocked. Do they know each other, from before?
