Slowly she started accepting that she was indeed in love with Luke. From childhood friend to secret crush, it was a sure a progress for her.She started writing a personal diary. Afraid of getting caught by any chance, she developed a code language consisting of different letters from different languages. She created her own code language for the diary. So even if someone tries to read it no-one could understand it. Such a relief! (I am so brilliant ??) she thought.
Her diary consisted mostly about Luke. Like how she spent time with Luke, how he called her stupid, how he teased her.
When she was little she used to get annoyed by his teasing. But now she started loving it!
Things changes a person entirely.
Luke was famous for being a devilishly handsome boy. Whenever some girl tried to approach him Vivian used to get mad, real mad. How dare they!!!!!! Luke was her own property, no one can claim him, she thought.
She used to drive these crazy girls away from him. Luke too never paid any attention to any girl, they were too annoying for him.
One day a transfer student joined them. She was so beautiful that even Luke was surprised. Her name was lily. She looked just like her name, so pure and innocent. However for some reasons, Vivian was not impressed with the new girl. She appeared strange to her. like she was faking something, of course no one would believe her! So she decided to stay silent.
The new girl sure had some nerve. She dared to sit aside Luke on the very first day of her school. Such a confidence! She smiled shyly at Luke. And Luke too, smiled back at her!
IMPOSSIBLE!!
Vivian tried to control her extreme rage. How dare that girl! She tried to lay eyes on my property!! She will pay for this!! ???
Her head and heart ached. It was not normal for Luke to actually smile at a girl other than his sister and her.
Could it be that he has interest in her?
She didn"t want to think about it.
-----------------------------------------
Due to the fear of Luke getting involved with that Lily-silly girl she couldn"t think straight. When she arrived home her parents were talking about something very seriously.
"Why do they want to contact us now? Chasing us out from household was not enough for them? " Vivian"s mom cried.
"...father is ill... " John"s voice was heavy.
"He wants to meet us. It is his last wish, I know he was unfair to me and you but I"m still his son. I can"t be unfillial in his last days. "
"sigh... so what are we going to do now? "
"we will see him tomorrow, with Vivian. He specially said he wants to meet his only granddaughter. "
"we will have Vivian with us too. "
"this is so unfortunate.They never contacted us in the last thirteen years and now your father wants to meet us suddenly, don"t you think it"s weird? "
"I don"t know enough about that. But I am sure father is indeed seriously ill this time. We have to go. "
"what about Vivian? "
"we will tell her something, so don"t worry... "
The moment she heard that, she was so astonished that she has a grandpa. She used to ask mom where her grandpa is. she said that he lives so far away from us do he can"t contact us. She was little, so she believed it.
Gradually she stopped asking about it. She understood that somethings are better not be spoken. Now suddenly her grandpa wants to meet her! Why now, and why didn"t he contacted me earlier?
She was so confused right now.
--------------------------------------------
Vivian and her parents arrived at a famous hospital in the city. Three of them were so nervous. They entered the room where Harrison Brandon was admitted. He looked so fragile and weak. John was so shocked to see his father like that. The domineering man ended up like this? He became so sorrowful. Harrison Brandon looked at them and started crying. Everyone in the room, including the nurses and doctors were shocked due to sudden action of the patient.
"Johnson, my son..... "
he sounded so weak.
"...father... "
" you came, you actually came for me! "
"father, I am here. Don"t worry, everything will be alright. You will get better soon.. "
"No, I don"t have much time left. I have done so many mistakes and I know that those cannot be forgiven. But I want to make it up for you, for my granddaughter"s sake. Please son, return to the household. If you don"t want to be the next head then your daughter can be. Even if she is a girl, with proper education and determination she can be the head of the Brandon holdings. I am really sorry.... I cannot leave the holdings in that b.a.s.t.a.r.ds hand"s. He will destroy everything. Please, you are a Brandon, my blood, you are capable and so is your daughter. She just needs a right path... please... y.. you.. will....go.. r.. right?
pl.. please.... " he held John"s hands as he spoke, after that he died in front of them.
Vivians expressions were unreadable. Just yesterday she was told that she has a grandpa and today he died, right front of her eyes!
She needed some time to face the reality. Soon she was ready to ask her father about everything, from her birth till now. She had the right to know everything after all.
