98. Memories

Aruna, who went down to the first floor because she expected some guests, came back with said guests. One of them was her older brother, Anantha. The other one was a man who once shook the team's resolve. And he had the nerve to smile brightly from ear to ear, as if his presence would be welcomed with flowers.

Aruna threw an apologetic smile as she glanced at her friends. This was not what she wanted, either. But, she felt bad she couldn't do anything about it. She apologetically said, "Can we have a moment, please? My brother and Rey want to talk, so, let's start with costumer's chat or something like that."

"Rey?" they asked in confusion.

Rey immediately took control of the situation, "Yes, please call me Rey. I like how it sounds more than Gibran," he grinned, as if changing name was as normal as turning one's palm.
