Back home

'Zane'

The man's eyes glimmered, it was her, he never expected to see her. While Siya's eyes showed an innocence but was again replaced by her normal cold eyes. While Arnold could not believe how Siya suddenly had those eyes that he wanted to be the reason for it, who was this man in front of her!

The previous day in the afternoon :

While at one end, Siya and Arnold were on their mission ,at the same time Zane got back to the country their missions were completed. As usual all the officers and soldiers went to report in the army room of the main headquarters. Zane went back home to meet his family and also to get cleaned up. He tiptoed in to reach his room when he heard:

'Zane'

A women in her early forties called, it was his mother Mrs Elie Olive, She still withheld her beauty but signs of wrinkles were also appearing, as usual she already knew when her son would be returning even though Zane never told her. Well she could only sigh his son was still as mischievous as ever and it's only because of Kyle's mother, Mrs Nile that she knew his son would be returning.

Kyle and Zane knew each other since childhood and could also be considered siblings, they had grown up playing with each other. Even though Mrs Olive and Mrs Nile always wanted their children to get together when they learnt that they liked each other as siblings they could only let go of their wish. However what they didn't expect at all when when Kyle decided to join the army 2 years after Zane was there. Kyle was a beautiful girl with the perfect curves and tanned skin, her mother was quite against her joining the army it was when Zane explained to her that Mrs Nile allowed her on the promise that Zane would always look after her to which Zane agreed instantly. Still Kyle would always keep her paranoid mother aware of her timetable that's how Mrs Olive would get the news of her only son.

Zane also guessed that Kyle was the medium of how his mother would always know when he was supposed to be back. He smiled widely at his mother to which his mother rolled her eyes, she now just wished for him to get married, this lad, even though he was a responsible army officer he was still immature at life.

'Mom'

Mrs Olive: Smile young man you got only 4 months I hope you remember.

Zane left a breath,: Mom..

Mrs Olive: I am serious!

Zane: Ok let me clean up then we shall discuss alright.

Mrs Olive: Fine, be back in 30 minutes

Zane: Mom, Everything does not need a deadline.

Zane went into his room, how he badly wished to throw his body on the bed but he really need to wash himself first. He cleaned up and got back to the kitchen where he met his parents.

Mr Sam Olive, he was in his late forties, he was a handsome one obviously it was his good looks that Zane inherited, only now he was starting to lose some hair and he would often suffer from weak bones, the latter was a doting husband and father, he knew how his beloved wife would be worried for their only son but he couldn't really blame her, especially if he didn't want to sleep outside, their son was actually too carefree and knew that he had an innocent heart and he would easily be heartbroken.

'Mom Dad I missed you!'

Mr Olive: Hey Champ, so how are you feeling huh?

Zane: Exhausted dad. Mom come on talk to me..

Mrs Olive: You know what I want to hear..

Zane: Mom..

Mr Olive looked at his wife as he brushed his shoulders to hers,: Come on honey, he is back afetr so long..

Mrs Olive continued to have a sullen face.

Zane: Okay fine, I'll make you meet the girl I want to marry I promise..

Mrs Olive kept looking away as she finally said: Okay, but I am not sure of you..

Zane: Mom I have not told her yet as soon as I do, I shall you now let me go, I have to go to the headquarters..

Mrs Olive: But wait you have just come and you haven't eaten anything!

Zane: I'll be back in a while don't worry it's just a formality as soon as it's done I'll be back fine..

Zane left as he grabbed an apple, while Mrs Olive sat back at her chair. She grinned he knew what name he would reveal, it was going to Julie, Kyle had narrated her her everything and whatever she had heard till date about her she really liked her. Kyle had reassured her that it's 99.9 % Zane shall select Julie.

Zane finally reached the headquarters..
