Chapter 485 - Brain- wrecking!

"WHAT!!!???" Lillian whispered in horror ran towards the boy, grabbing his arm. "What did you tell him!!?" The lady spoke in horror, feeling devastated. 

"Umm.. Nothing just that I am here in town. And I told him to come! Why are you so scared!?" Jacob frowned looking at his mother's face. 

"Oh! thank God! You did not tell him anything yet. We have a doubt that he is Augus!" Lillian looked at the boy, with a worried face. 

"What!!! No way!! I know Kareem very well!!" James looked at the lady in disbelief. 

"Listen James! Don't do anything foolish. You can not trust him right now. Just do not utter a single word from your mouth. I will explain everything to you later. Now go and open the door and tell me how he reacts upon looking at the ring." Lillian quickly walked away inside her room.

James looked at his thin ring once again. It had tiny symbols inscribed on top of it, similar to the one on the bracelet. He took a deep breath and opened the door happily. "Hey man!!" 

"Brother!!!!" Kareem hugged the boy instantly, feeling extremely elated looking at him.

"Look at you! Everytime I see you, your biceps increase in size!" James patted the boy's shoulder, as Kareem entered the living room. 

"Haha! Just gearing up!" Kareem smiled.

"Gearing up!? Gearing up for what bro!?" James frowned, feeling his heart beat race a little. 

"The role bro! Our action movie together! We are due to shoot in next month. Did you forget?" Kareem smiled at the boy and sat down on a couch. 

"Oh! That!! Yeah! I forgot. I guess it must be the jet- lag. Never mind, what else is happening!?" James looked at the boy, suspiciously. 

"Ahh! Nothing! Just working for this film. That's it." Kareem spoke in a sad tone. Suddenly his gaze fell upon James' ring and he gaped at it in surprise, not able to hide his surprised face. "This.... This... Ring? Ahem! I mean, is this a new ring? I have never seen it in your hands before!" Kareem spoke nervousely. 

James looked at the man with more suspicion now. "Ahh! I was shooting in New York and found this in an antique shop. I kind of liked it, so bought it." 

"Ahh! New York! Right. I love the design, might get myself a similar one too. Can you give it to me for a few seconds. I want to check it out!" Kareem smiled looking at the boy's face. 

James looked at the boy for a few seconds, not knowing what to say. "Ah! Sure man!" James planned to pretend to be not able to remove the ring, telling him that it was too tight. James pulled out the ring a little but the ring actually slided back instantly. The ring did not feel to be tight but when pulling it outwards, something applied a reverse force, to avoid taking it off. "Ahh!! It is too tight. Can not seem to remove it." 

"Ah! No problem bro!" Kareem smiled, looking constantly at his ring. 

Kareem smiled back in hesitation and stood up immediately. "Bro! I just remembered that I had an early morning meeting with the director. I will have to go. Bye!" 

"But wait! Let us have breakfast together!" James stood up in surprise, walking towards sprinting away Kareem. 

"Maybe some other day!" Kareem sprinted out of the door as if in a hurry. 

Jacob looked at the running away boy, as if he had seen something very scary. He was actually stunned to see him flee away. He never wanted to believe in Lillian's words but somehow he was also forced to think about it now. 

Lillian who was quietly peeking from a window, came inside the living room. "Let him go James. He is in a shock!" 

"But... But how... how can this be? I know this man from past so many years. He is my best friend and my brother. No! No! I still can not believe that!" James looked at his mother in distress.

"I know, it is hard for you to believe. Think about what Lizie is going through. His younger son is trying to kill her elder son." Lillian sighed, in sadness. 

"But... I don't know! And will he find out that the ring is made from your hair?" James frowned.

"No! Nobody is blessed with so much wisdom and foresight as old monk. If he took so much time to realise it, then Augus needs several births to figure it out. But yes he already must be knowing about the bracelet, seing his reaction towards the ring! I wanted to see his reaction, and now I am pretty much sure!" Lillian spoke in an angry voice.

"Mom! I still do not believe it! Kareem is not a person like this. Yes, he has his angry reactions, but apart from that he is simply a golden hearted person." James spoke in Kareem's defence. 

"I don't know, what to say to make you believe. I understand what he means to you, but it can not be a coincidence that he hurts himself, just when Lee had to go with Rhehan to Malaysia. The tour leaded to their breakup. Kareem is in love with Rose. He is doing all this for Davis and for himself. The worse part is that we can not even tell him that he is Rhehan's brother. What if he goes and tells it to Davis." Lillian snapped back in anger. 

"Davis? You mean Davis the richest man in the world?"James gaped at Lillian in horror. 

"Yes! He is Rhehan's father!" Lillian sighed.

"But don't you think mother, Rhehan's bracelet is pretty evident for Kareem to notice. Even if Davis does not know anything about Rhehan, Kareem would have spotted the bracelet already!!? But the fact that Davis still does not know of Rhehan's presence, proves that Kareem is innocent." James implied.

"And maybe... Davis already does!" Lillian gaped at James in horror!

"Maybe we should remove that bracelet from Rhehan's arm!" James suggested.

"No! Wait! That bracelet will only help Rhehan. Maybe it is visible only to people, who are helpful for him." Lillian narrowed her eyes thinking.
