Poor Ah Hai who had just opened the door was wondering if he was dreaming.He looked at his still grinning brother who was laying down Little Ru on the couch. Ryu turned around to see Ah Hai"s shocked look and said "Ah Hai,are you trying to catch flies?Close your mouth.Where is Matt?"
Ah Hai quickly snapped shut his mouth and wordlessly pointed towards the room on the left.
"Go wake him up.We have lots of work to do.."And with that order,he moved towards towards the room on the right.
In the room,a man was sleeping sprawled,peacefully and deeply. Ryu looked at the sleeping form and let out a shrill piercing whistle.This shook the man and he immediately sat up in bed with a shout .
His disheveled hair and shocked eyes looked around the room searching for the source of noise and landed on a grinning Ryu. Like Ah Hai,he also thought that he was dreaming or maybe they had slipped into an alternate universe...Where his brother was grinning like he used to ....in the past...
"Wake up Neil...We still have lots to do.."
Neil rubbed his sleepy eyes and said,"Why do you hate me so much..I need to catch up on my sleep..."
Neil tried to lie back down and sleep but his blankets were pulled rudely and another piercing whistle sounded in the air...
"Big Bro!!!"With that,Neil got up in the bed and threw a pillow at Ryu who deftly caught it in one hand and said tauntingly,"Still can"t hit!Come on out for breakfast!" and left the room.
Neil who"s attack had failed shouted at the retreating back,"Only because I was still sleepy!"
But he was also wearing a grin matching his brother"s....His big bro was back!!This was the first time after their parent"s death when his brother woke him up like this..He used to do this whenever they went for football practice!
Falling back on the bed,Neil stretched his body and stared up at the ceiling...Huh!!It was time to wake up...Big Bro was right...they had lots of work to do!!
Planning a wedding was a big event...Planning a surprise wedding was even more difficult!
Finally he went left his bedroom and went outside.There Ryu was sitting and talking to the woman who was in charge of planning the wedding.But his brother doing that was not uncommon...What was amusing was the dazed expressions his little brothers were wearing..
Neil knew that Matt remembered this side of their brother but not Ah Hai. Ah Hai was 11 years younger than Ryu. By the time,Ah Hai grew up,Ryu was busy with his studies and football practices and was rarely at home. And later,after their parent"s death Ryu had become emotionless and cold.Ah Hai who had always looked at his brother as a hero and had been brought up by their Big Bro,had also turned serious and protective.This must be the first time Ah Hai had seen his hero,grinning so happily.Neil smiled....one brother down and one to go..He had brought back the grin on his elder brother"s face and now he needed to find a way for the younger one.He will soon...but now they needed to get back to business..the business of organizing the big fat wedding.
The wedding planner finished giving her brief and after waited for further instructions.She looked at the four men around her and hoped that this weekend would happen without a hitch.
Ryu Long had hired her to plan his wedding some time back.He had made it clear that his requirements were very specific and even made her and all her employees sign a Non disclosure agreement.But the challenge was arranging the wedding in such a short span of time and at such a venue away from the city.She had planned this very carefully following his instructions to the T.Even though this was not a big media wedding,her company was soon going to be in high demand after she added this name to it"s portfolio.The few glitches they had faced had been cleared with money..All the guests were now here and today the big surprise was going to be revealed to the bride.She was curious to see the bride.She had seen the press conference on television some time back and the way all the brothers talked about her meant that she was respected and already a part of the family...She had tried to get a glimpse of Madam Long yesterday,but all she had seen was the back of the woman.
The event planner was shaken out of her reverie when Ryu Long asked some questions.Once rea.s.sured,she took her leave and went to prepare for the rehearsal dinner planned for tonight.
Once the wedding planner left,Ryu turned to Neil and questioned him,"Are you sure that you have invited everyone close to her?"
"Yes, Big Bro!Don"t worry,I even kept a couple of our smaller planes on standby.If someone has been left out,we will just have them kidnapped tonight!"
Ryu:"..."
Matt and Ah Hai:"..."
Ignoring his brother"s skewed sense of humor,Ryu turned to Matt and asked him about the theme and decorations.Matt had been a.s.signed the supervisor capacity.He had to overlook all the details and arrange the logistics.The entire Hotel Royal Hills hotel had been booked for the weekend by Matt.He had even organised many activities for the younger guests."
Rea.s.sured,Ryu turned to Ah Hai but before he could ask Ah Hai answered,"The security is under control.We have successfully thrown off our scent from the people Mr X. had following us.They are going to come to know of this celebration after the event."
"Thank You Ah Hai."Just as Ryu Looked up at Ah Hai when Ah Hai did not say anything,he found Ah Hai staring at him. Giving him a questioning glance,Ryu raised a brow at him.
"You are hurt...",Ah Hai said
"Huh?Where?"
"On the side of your neck."
All three brothers tried to look at Ryu"s neck...Matt immediately understood the scratch marks for what they were and so did Neil.Even Ryu realized what they were but Ah Hai was clueless.
Neil decided to help his brother and said,"Ah Hai,my little brother,Big Bro has a new wild cat..so she scratched him...It"s okk..."
Ah Ha:"Cat?Then don"t you need to get shots..."And he trailed off once he understood the meaning behind 2nd bro"s words...His ears turned red and stammering an excuse he escaped his big brothers...
