back down in situations like those and Anna was surely not a measure to her. Justin had to help them out before anything wrong went down which again would be a problem to Anna since the model-looking Dhamini was strong and athletic to take down easily a person who just starved themselves to contain their bodies.

"I think we are here already," Justin said motioning for the large gates that stood at a distance from the house.

They went inside the gates and stopped right beside the large wooden doors that hid the inside of the beautiful mansion from the outside. It wasn't like they needed the doors anyway because of the large yard they had, but it isn't a house or a mansion or a palace without doors. Double doors for that case.

"Wooow! This place is -" Anna was amazed by the beauty of the mansion not knowing what lied beneath it. What the people who lived there turned that huge house into.

"Gracious, marvelous, beautiful, and whatever you might think of. Get your asses inside." Dhamini took it into her to try and make everything fall into place and starting with getting the two of them to know who was the boss there.

"I didn't know farm girls can be so rude and sassy," Anna said disapprovingly.

"And murderous as well. A little pinch in the food and you are gone for good." She winked at her making her run to her things in an instant.

Dhamini got in first followed by the two of them. And as soon as she entered the double wooden doors of the house, she announced her arrival. "Guys! I'm back!"

It was Aayesha who appeared first. She was coming from the kitchen and lit up in joy for hearing Dhamini's voice, but as soon as she saw Justin and Anna, her smile vanished at an instant. It was replaced with a look too unreadable for a human being to muster in a fraction of seconds from smiling.

"Welcome honey. I didn't know you came with your friends."

Everybody was astonished after hearing what Aayesha had said. Dhamini had to put fingers in her ears two times to make sure that they weren't blocked and she was hearing right. Anna had to cross-check her mind if Justin had told her before that his family lived with a person who didn't know him and she got no folder for that.

"Mom! Really! That's all I am now?!" Justin wasn't believing what his mom was saying. It was hurting way too much for a mother to say those words.

"Justin! Is that you?" Karan's voice was heard from upstairs and when he saw him, he sprinted down to where he was.

"I knew you'd come back. I missed you so much, Jasu." Karan flung himself onto him making Justin smile after that little intense moment of rejection.

"I missed you too, Kar." He hugged him dearly and just then he smelled the fragrance he knew way too much. "You smell good. Not the smell of trees and leaves."

"Yeah, uncle makes me spray myself with this perfume he gave me. I like it though." He finally released him and just as he did so, Shreya who was outside came through the main doors and ran to Justin shrieking in pure bliss.

She looked happy that tears started to form in her eyes. She didn't leave even a pore to breathe from. She then started to sob so hard and so loud.

"Hey, Shreya! Don't cry. You are making me feel bad now." Justin was then afraid that he might have affected a lot of people by only thinking of himself but deep down he had no regrets. That was the thing that made him guilty.

"Stupid! Why shouldn't I cry? You left us like we meant nothing to you. Did we do something bad? Didn't you like us? Didn't you enjoy being here?" The questions were nonstop and Justin could swear that she was getting into his nerve with all those accusatory. They weren't really questions, they were accusations.

"Stop it, please. I'm here now and that's all that matters. I'm here to fix every piece that I broke even if it means to be broken myself." Justin said to her shaking her body before he hugged her again.

"What are they saying?" Anna whispered to Dhamini who was beside her at that moment.

"You should have learned Hindi. All those years with an Indian boyfriend and you can't even ask for water! Unbelievable!" Dhamini wasn't of help as instead of telling her what was going on, she was full of sarcasm.

"Since I'm here now, I might have to learn it. But can you tell me what are they saying? He is hugging her way too long." Dhamini then understood that it was jealousy that kept running inside her and not curiosity over the situation or anything else.

"She is her first-ever girlfriend. She is complaining that Justin left him so many years without contacting her and she demands to get married at an instant."

The answer that Dhamini gave Anna wasn't the one she had expected and since she didn't know what was the actual thing that they were saying, her features turned sour all of a sudden, and she got bright red and with a look so priceless.

Dhamini was satisfied with the reaction she got for her joke and so she couldn't stop the laugh that escaped her mouth earning everybody's attention. Dhamini was about to speak to introduce Anna when her mom entered the living room.

"What's all this commotion in here? Dhami baby, you're back." She saw the two of them first and was going in their direction before she finally saw Justin who was then out of the bear hug from Shreya. "Matta Rani! What a blessing today."

She changed the direction and went directly to Justin who went down to touch her feet and she gave him her blessings willingly. Justin was so happy about that. It made him feel like there was still hope of being able to solve things.

"How are you aunt?" Justin asked when he hugged her.

"I'm not yet dead, so, I'm still kicking."

The answer wasn't exactly what Justin was looking for but it was Shania. He felt a little bad about what had happened when he was away, but then, they didn't want him involved and clearly, they didn't want him to know as well. There was nothing that he could have done about that.

"Mom! What kind of an answer is that?"

"Hey, English girl! Don't teach me how to answer my questions." Shania told Dhamini in a so dramatic way making everybody laugh at that. Even Anna who didn't understand what they were laughing about, laughed as well.

"Is that your college friend?" Shania asked her daughter after she released her in the bear hug she had put her in.

"Actually, that is ..." Dhamini was finding the right answer for that moment but Justin helped her.

"That's Anna," Justin said motioning to her but Anna had a lot more planned than that so simple introduction.

"Hi, I'm Anna Peter Girlfriend and I'm Justin's girlfriend."

The reaction to what she had said wasn't pretty good as everybody looked at her as if she was a joke for April's fool. Justin even closed his eyes for what Anna had said and made her think maybe, they didn't understand her as she spoke in English and decided to make it clear.

She moved to where Justin was and intertwined their fingers.

"Me and Justin ..." She was looking for the right words to say but she kept thinking they wouldn't understand if she spoke. She had to show them. And that's when she tiptoed and kissed Justin on the lips making the whole house gasp in horror and terror. They even turned around not even ready to face the two lovebirds.

Justin was as shocked as everybody else but he couldn't move from where he stood after what happened. He was rooted in space by the action but just standing there not doing anything had caused a lot of consequences. Especially after a certain voice was heard from the stairs which were directly in front of them. The voice that Justin longed to hear again after those four years of missing him. The voice of his father, Raichand Solanki.

"Congratulations."
