Chapter 143 - Bonding Again

Carter house

Lingaa was standing on the door step hesitating to ring the door bell. Tapping his fingers on his thigh, he was struggling to get in to the point whether to ring the bell or not. The time he left from his apartment, Lingaa walked down the road and ended up at the Carter's house gate. 

He had been feeling hungry and wanted to have food made by Julian. After his breakfast with Henry and Julian the other day he had been trying his best to not melt his resolution to keep distance from them. But every time he decided to not to look for them, he unknowingly ended up thinking about them.

'Should I go in or go back' he thought.

Brushing his hair in frustration he lifted his hand to ring the bell, but again pulled back thinking the couple might be sleeping as it already past the dinner time. Releasing a sigh, he took a step back and turn to leave when the door suddenly opened and a voice called him," Lin..."

Julian had walked downstairs when Henry told her to see who have arrived at their house, when he heard the sound of the gate being open. Listening her husbands word she immediately stride down and saw a shadow from the window.

Guessing Henry was right about someone's arrival, Julian walked fast and opened the door when she saw Lin walking back taking one step.

Turning his head back, Lingaa saw Julian looking at him with a smile on her face.

"Where are you going?" she asked taking a step close to him.

Lingaa wanted to punch himself for doing such stupid thing. He knew his emotions were flowing all over and it was getting hard for him to turn blind eye on them after he got them back.

"Ahh.. sorry to disturb you aunty at this hour. I'll just take my leave" he tried to escape but her words made him enter in the house in one second.

"Get in I have made salsa and Italian pasta.. lets have dinner together" and that's when his hesitations went out from the gates and he walked in without uttering a  word.

Inside the secret base

Landon have been going through the plan of the auditorium where the launch event was going to take place. He had been memorizing every corner of the hall from where he could keep an eye on his target.

"Hope you won't let her go this time. One shot and she would be dead" Marcus walked in when he saw his trusted person being attentive with his plan. He had full faith him and knew even if he fails to kill the target he would make sure to send them to coma from where they wouldn't wake up back. 

"She is just like an ant which can be crumbled with my fingers" Landon was just a cold blooded man who show now sympathy to the person he target. 

Marcus had trained him to be ruthless and never get swayed by emotions because they only make you loose your focus. Even after all these years, he still curse the day when he had killed Rosie instead of Blake. He loather Lucas because he was saved and his mother decided to let her life go. 

"Make sure not to leave any trace behind. We still have time to meet the main target. Lets just clear the hurdles which came in out path" telling this he walked out from the room letting the man get prepare with what he had in his mind.

One man took a leave from the group and walked to take a smoke. He lit the lighter burning the cigarettes and inhale a puff.

"Ahh.."

A punch landed on his back of his head and the man fainted falling down.

"Don't you know never leave your team members just for smoking" Tin had hit the man directly on his head making him loose his consciousness.

Dragging the heavy body to the basement area, Tin removed his clothes and wore it before tying his hands and leg and taping his mouth. He knew the man was not going to wake up anytime soon so he made sure even if he is dead his body should not been found.

Wearing his bullet proof suit, Tin attached a hidden camera given by Aksa as they would keep a look around the area where the illegal activities being carried out.

Making sure his face was hidden by the mask, he send a text to Aksa," Reached the spot".

Leaving the secret basement, Tin went to join the team member's.

Rosie Mansion

Inside their small heaven, Lucas and Elena were cuddling on the bed. After having their stomach filled they had a walk in their garden before they head back to sleep.

"You know I would have had a brother if mother would've died" Lucas recall the time when his uncle had said that Rosie was carrying Blakes child at the time of her demise.

Elena looked up to see his facial expressions and to her surprise she saw him smiling rather then tearing up. Lucas had finally let go his mother horrifying death and was accepting it wholeheartedly. He knew it was her fate to die that time and he had finally accepted it.

She looked down recalling the memory lane of her childhood when she had a sibling with whom she played and enjoyed her time. Though the time they spent was just little but she still longed to see the person whom she had called brother.

'Brother.. where are you' she shouted getting in her room only to find it dark and empty.

Elena still could let go of the thought that the boy whom she thought to stay with her left her without telling anyone.

Lucas was waiting for his wife to speak when he talk about the topic but when he looked down, he found Elena spacing out in her own thoughts.

"What happened sunshine" he asked brushing her arms softly.

Elena pulled out from the thought and lifted to look at the voice which called her. She wanted to let go of that thought because she knew he would not return. After all these years have passed she couldn't find any signs of him returning back. So it only mean that he had decided to let live his life alone away from them.

"Nothing .."she snuggled on his chest and closed her eyes taking a deep breathe.

Little did she know, her heart still longed to meet the man who was like a shinning armor in her life who loved her dearly and didn't let her get harm. 

"Brother" she said and doze off to sleep hoping that some day she would meet him again unexpectedly.

Carter house

Sitting on the dinning table Lingaa stuff his mouth with the delicious food made by Julian. Henry and Julian just kept looking at the young man who ate the food without taking a break as if he had been hungry the whole day.

"Cough.."

"Slow down... here have some water" Henry passed the glass to Lingaa and he took a sip.

Both Henry and Julian had already done with their platter and were silently watching Lin eat his portion. She could tell that he loved the food she made and that reminded her of someone who also like to eat food made by her without taking a break.

Julian have been trying to get hold on the face which felt familiar yet she couldn't accept if her thought's were right. 

"Did you like the food" she asked.

"I love everything you make moth-" Lingaa was going to blurt out but stopped composing himself.

Swallowing the food he looked up and wiped his face with the tissue before he spoke," The food is just too delicious. It filled my stomach but my heart is still not content" he smiled looking at the empty plate satisfied with the food and the amount of it he ate.

Lingaa had been feeling like he was back home and was with his family whom he had left for his revenge. His eyes looked around the room and stopped at the frame he had seen earlier.

"I didn't see your son and daughter" he asked even though he knew everything about them.

"Oh.. my daughter she's in her husbands house and my son.." she paused looking at the picture remembering the boy," He left.." her voice sounded sad and tear form in her eyes but she tried to put a smile and looked back to the man whose eyes were stuck on her," But.. he is still here" she placed her hand on her heart showing him the place where he was safe away from every harm.

An unknown emotion knocked Lingaa's heart making his guilt too hollow. He shouldn't have left them when he knew they have accepted him even after knowing he was not their blood. The parental love they gave him, he broke their heart the day he decided to escape away from them.

He gulped the lump hard down his throat trying to hold back his tears when he saw a tear roll down her cheeks.

'They still miss me' he thought and turn to look at Henry watching him take the frame in his hand and caressing his picture.

"Lingaa" he said and looked up with a smile on his face," Our son"
