^^^Andrew Curren above^^^

True LoVe is not about seeking the same from the other. Its about sacrificing each thing possible for the sake of the other. Even if it is forgetting about your own being.

"Hey Big Bro!!! Whatsup??? Long time. Huh?!" I commented with loads of emotions at the same time.

"Yeah lill Bro. You see since I was on a month long flight journey, it was difficult to stay in touch. Btw, leave all this. I have something very important to tell you."

"Aahhan....someone is really excited to share some good news. Lemme guess....umm....I am soon going to be UNCLE??" I said pulling Andrew's leg and laughing out loud.

"Oohh please. Keep your stupid and annoying guesses with yourself." He said, totally annoyed with my comment.

"Sorry sorry, My bad. So whats the good news?" I asked, excitedly.

"Do you remember me mentioning to mom about getting married soon with the girl of her choice?"

"Yeah, what about that?" I asked getting more and more confused with each passing moment.

"Well, she found a girl and I am with her right now. I want you to meet her."

"Ohh my goodness!! You too!!! I am really excited." I said thinking of Clea.

"Me too?"

"Ohh nothing. So? Where is she?"

"Oohh yeah! Meet Ms. Soon-to-be-your-sister-in-law" He said slowly moving the phone around.

And in the very next moment, I was startled with the scene in front of me.

There I saw, a beautiful woman sitting right in front of the camera, the woman who was everything for me, the woman whom I referred as my best friend, the woman with the name "Clea Amarah Hopkins".

With the expressions on her face, I could tell, she was equally wonderstuck. Her eyes was conveying a shock of happiness, while in me, it was toatlly opposite. If she is the one, Andrew wanna marry, there us no chance for me because I, definately don't want to tear them apart or snatch their happiness from them with my "One Sided Love". I have to stop thinking about it.

"OH MY GOD!!!! I can't believe it!" I was snapped out of my thoughts by squealing Clea.

"Neither can I!!!" I said.

"What? What happened? Why you two are behaving like this? Any problem? Am I missing something here?" Andrew asked with concern clearly in his eyes.

"He,.... I mean....your brother-" Clea stammered but Soon, I cut her off in between.

"How you wanted me to react Big Brother, when I would get to know that YOU, Mr. Andrew Cade Curren, is going to make MY BEST FRIEND, MY SISTER-IN-LAW??Huh??" I scoffed while commenting.

"WHAT???"Andrew exclaimed utterly shocked.
"Is she really 'that' Clea, you never stop talking about?" Andrew asked.

"Yeah, she is the ONLY one. Ms. Clea Amarah Hopkins, advocate by profession." I said clearing his doubt.

"Wait, what do you mean by 'never stop talking about?' I mean, what he told you about me? I know this Sean, he would have definitely made fun of me behind my back."

"Ohh no, you are definitely wrong Clea. Actually, knowing the fact, that you are the same Clea, he has been talking about, I must confess, I know much about you than you can imagine. From your fav. colour to the things you hate. EVERYTHING!!"

"Yeah, you better be cautious Clea, he is at advantage" I said chuckling.

"Yeah yeah, whatever. Thats why I felt like I have met Julia somewhere before too. No doubt how. But how I have never met your brother Sean?" Clea asked eying both of us and bringing her law studies in use right now.

"Oohh. Its really a long but interesting part of our lives. My dad, wants me, as the elder son, to take over the family business. But I always wanted to be a piolet. I have always wanted to fly. So, when I told him that I have no interest in our family business and pursue air services, he refused to accept the fact. So, to fulfill by dream, I, with the help of my mom and Sean, went for the same and for last 10 years, I was there only. That's why you never met Sean's brother." Andrew answered her.

Yeah, it was true. He was only 18 when he went out on his own.

"I didn't have such kind of determination for any profession, so I volunteered myslelf for our family business and here I am. And witnessing Andrew's success, dad, eventually accepted his profession since he had nothing to worry about now." I continued, answering her unasked question.

"Wow! Thats great." Clea said.

For next hour or so, we were just talking about each other. Unfolding the little secrets of our childhood. Things I told Andrew about Clea etc. Etc. We were interrupted in between our never ending talks when I realised that it was time for my class. I said them my goodbyes and disconnected the call.

Taking my laptop back pack, I headed towards my classroom. Soon the class begun with each student sharing their idea for the presentation they were making for the finals.

As soon as the class got over, I went back to my room, and started wondering what destiny has planned for me after giving me such a surprise, rather I should say, shock.

Andrew's P.O.V.

After Sean disconnected the call, we continued our general talks about random things about each other as we ate our dinner.

"Is there anything else you want before leaving?" I asked Clea.

"Oh..no. I am full." She answered with a small smile creeping her face. I must admit, she is really beautiful. She didn't exaggerate her beauty, she has a simple, yet elegant kind of personality. I already like her. She is not even 1% of the girls I dated earlier. She is far, far better. And maybe that's why, It never worked out with any of them. I would love to spend my life with this beauty in front of me.

"Shall we leave, Andrew?" I was snapped out of my thoughts by Clea.

"Ooh...yeah...sure. Sorry, I zoomed out." I said rubbing the back of my neck.

"Well its okay.......umm.....You know what? You look really cute doing that." She said nervously. I have no idea what she was nervous about.

"Well thank you for the compliment. But I would like it more if you would called by sexy rather than cute." I said jokingly. Listening what I said, she immediately cheered up and starting laughing out loud.

Soon after that, I escorted her out towards her car.

"Umm..Clea, I wanted to ask you something....."

"Yeah?"

"I was thinking, if we could....ummm...hangout tomorrow as well."
"Only if you are comfortable and free." I quickly added.

"Thats a great idea....but....I have a meeting with a client tomorrow. Maybe you just come over and we will go out once I'll finish. Are you okay with it?"

"Yes yes. Ofcourse. I am free these days, since I am on vacation. I'll be there. Just send me the address." I said happily. Soon we exchanged our numbers and went on our respective ways.

**************

I was bombared with the question, the moment in stepped in my house. Yes, there they are. My parents. They are actually more excited than me for my marriage.

"So, what do you think of her?"
"Do you like her?"
"What you both talked about?"
"What was her reaction?"
"Will we have the honour of being her in-laws?"
"Is she too talkative?"
"You don't like her, did you? Oh my goodness Jason, what are we gonna do now?"

I was just standing there, listening to my mom, dad, jumping to conclusions already when I haven't said even a word till now. Thats the Power of my parents. Lol.

"Mom, dad would you allow me to say something?" I asked, but they just ignored my presence and continue discussing their useless conclusions. I tried getting their attention for three times now. But in vain.

"MOM- DAD" I almost screamed which atlast helped me to get their attention. They immediately turned their heads towards me.

"Thank you almighty for letting them know my presence." I said sarcastically. And then continued.

"Mom, dad. Clea is really a nice girl. She ia not like others and I like her. I won't mind spending my life with her. She is such a sweet girl. And more of a fact, she is Sean's best friend!" I told my parents.

"What? She is same Clea? OMG! How could I not recognise her. Oh my goodness. But, how you got to know about it?" My mom asked with amusment.

"Well, I skyped Sean wanting him to meet his soon to be sister- in-law, but it turned out that they knew each other from way before I could even imagine. And by the way, Sean informed me that he will be flying back soon during the up coming week, taking the fact that his post graduation is almost over." I informed that honestly.

"Wow. Thats a great news. I'll be having my successor soon by my side. Well it feels so good then we have so many good news at the samw time." My dad said smiling as widely as possible.

After telling them little more about my meeting with Clea, I excused myself to my room. After freshing up, I directly lie on my bed staring at the ceiling. And just then Sean's face came to my mind. The time when he realised Clea is the one. I admit, all of us were highly stupefied after the revelation of the fact. But the expressions on Sean's face was very different from what I saw on Clea's. She was extremely ecstatic and excited upon finding this. But, on the other hand, Sean seam little off. No strike that. He seemed extremely annoyed. Though he tried his best to cover it up, but I am his elder brother. I know him better than he know himself.

I was just wondering what could be the possible reason? Is it possible that he likes Clea more than as a friend? Does Clea too have same feelings for him?

No. Stop overthinking Andrew. If any of these thoughts would be true, why would they hide it. Right?

But I couldn't stop thinking about me, coming in between them, till sleep engulfed me with it into deep darkness.
