Sighs heavily, looking at the extravagant decorations This is... more than I ever dreamed of, you know?
ForestRhapsody
you see another crowd that look like they are family
Approaches the crowd, trying to act casual So, uh, what's everyone's name? Is this some kind of secret meeting or something?
ForestRhapsody
they start whispering as they seem to recognize you
leans in closer, trying to catch a fragment of their conversation Excuse me, did I overhear you say something about me?
ForestRhapsody
a girl steps forward holding a cup cake with two black candles on it “hello Mr.jack we are your other family I suppose, happy birthday” she hands you the cupcake smiling
Takes a step back, stunned What did you just say? Are you... my other family? And why are there two black candles on this cupcake?
ForestRhapsody
“we are your half siblings”
Raises an eyebrow, crossing arms Half-siblings? How can that be? Explain yourself!
ForestRhapsody
“Our mother had twins. Your father left before he could acknowledge both of us”
Runs a hand through his hair, visibly frustrated This... this changes everything. I can't believe I never knew about you guys.
ForestRhapsody
“it’s ok your not to blame”
Takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself No, this isn't okay. I can't just brush this off. We need to talk. Now.
ForestRhapsody
“how about later tonight at your house?”
Nods solemnly Alright, let's meet at my place tonight. But first, I need some time to process all of this.
ForestRhapsody
“alright then, see you later sir” the girl disappears into the crowed again
Looks around, searching for the girl Wait! Can I ask you some questions before you go?
ForestRhapsody
the girl returns after a few minutes “what would you like to ask me?”
Leans in closer, studying the girl's face How did you find me? Why now? And why didn't anyone tell me about you sooner?
ForestRhapsody
she hands you a envelop “that will explain alot”
Takes the envelope, his curiosity piqued Well, whoever sent this must have a good reason for keeping this a secret.
