Past I

He was my uncle, The brother to one of the most important person of my life. I wanted to know everything about him and my father.

He said "now my dear, can you put me down?"

"oh of course."

I put him down. Then there was an awkward silence for a few minutes. I was looking at him shyly and he was looking at me like he was waiting years to meet me.

He said "Do you want to meet your father?"

I never thought about it. I always wanted to know who he was but never thought about what I would do if I meet him. And now this question I had no answer. Do I want to meet him?

He saw my face and understood "It's ok, you don't have to meet him. But don't you want to know about them?"

"I do want to.....how? why? even of that happened why did my mother went back she could have stayed with him."

He nodded and asked me and Zoa to follow him.

We followed him to a big bungalow. The bungalow was beautiful. It had a fountain in the entrance. We would have to walk around it and then there was the door of the house. The house from outside was painted blue.

We went inside. The interiors couldn't be more better. There was golden coloured lights and looked beautiful.

A man came walking from the stairs on our right side. We saw him walking down. The uncle now came near and said "This is your father." The most important person of my life walking down the stairs. I always wanted to know him.

He was already a old man but didn't seem like one. He had his perfectly smooth black hairs and the body, It also seemed perfect like he never gave up of exercise. His beard has a little white hairs though. He was wearing a yellow Tshirt and jeans. He looked around 40s but his actual age was around 55.

He came down and looked at me. He frowned for some time. He seemed to know me but didn't remember. He turned to his brother and asked "who are they?"

"My guests bro."

He still frowned while looking at me and asked "Miss, have I seen you before? I feel like I know you."

Of course, a father can recognize his daughter even if he never met her. I mean I look like my mother a lot so, him knowing me is actually correct.

Now I see, I always thought why is my hair jet black but my mother's hair are brown it was always because of my father. My eyes were also kind of like him. My height though was from my mom. Short like 5 feets.

I was looking at him or more of scanning him when he said "excuse me miss?"

I was brought back from my world of dreams by my father and I said "Ummmm.... it is not possible. I mean I am new here how could you know me?"

He still frowned but he let go because of what I said.

Uncle was about to guide us to the basement when Father stopped him and said "Bro, where are you taking them?"

"To the basement?"

"You remember, right?"

"hmmm"

And then he went away.

I asked uncle "what remember."

"your mother is an alien and you know on earth if you say this they will definitely research on you and your things. That is why there is a rule of not falling in love with humans. You Father wants to hide that your mother was an alien because her things have a lots of gems and books not from Earth."

I can't believe my Father still protects my mother's things.

We walked down to the basement. The basement was quite big and cleaned. It seemed like it was cleaned thoroughly everyday.

It had lots of huge and heavy boxes. The basement did seem a little scary with less lights.

Uncle asked us to wait by the table. He picked up a box. The box seemed heavy. I asked "Should I help?"

"No, dear I am good."

He now put the box on the table and opened it.

He said "these are the things your mother left. Oh right!!! I didn't ask you. How is she?"

"who? my mother?"

The expression expressed it all.

I said "Dead?"

"what!! she is.... but when? and how?"

"2 weeks. I still don't know why."

"ohh."

"thank god I didn't let you talk to bro."

"yeah, I know."

"She is beautiful."

"Was?"

"Oh yeah, she is dead."

I wanted to ask a question from a long time but couldn't. When Uncle said "Go ahead, ask"

"What?...how do you know? do you read minds?"

"Family doesn't have to do that. They just know what you need and specially when you are so special to all of us. Your Father could also feel that he knew you even though he never saw you."

That is right Family knows everything.

Now I asked "Di...did you also liked mom? You know like that?"

"Is it really written on my face?"

"so, yes?"

"What's the use? She never liked me."

"But why?"

"I will tell you everything just wait."

He was doing something with his hands inside the box.

"Uncle? what are you doing?"

"Ohh just checking if this is the correct box."

When he was checking I walked in the basement and found a room with lots of pictures on it. I saw mom and dad everywhere in the picture. Some pictures also had uncle. I could bet that father loved him dearly.

I saw photos in a company and in this house and also some other house. I assumed it might be the house where she stayed when she came here on Earth.

I saw lots of other new faces. I saw her with one lady she seemed familiar but couldn't remember who it was.

When I heard the door open and Uncle said "Come on, I found the box." He saw the full room and said "I will also tell you and show you the photos. So, come here now."

He brought me again to same table with a box kept on it.

Now I saw all her belongings and found a wand with a creepy box. I asked "what is that uncle?"

"Let's not jump to that because first you need to know the story of your mom and dad."

"story?"

"Yes, dear. You were not a mistake or born by the technology used at Z22 but by consent from both side. You mother conceived like an Earthling."

My eyes rounded because first of all Alien-human hybrid was the first and now alien mother conceiving like Earthling was more shocking

Actually no woman alien from our planet cannot conceive like Earthling. They have to match their powers and make a baby.

Uncle now said "So, do you really want to listen to your parents story?"

"yes, tell me how did this happen and What am I? how much powerful I am? I need to know everything."
