Joseph stared at the lady he had bumped into from the VIP section he was given upstairs. No one was looking in that direction so no one noticed his parents and that was exactly what he wanted to happen. He had asked the school authorities for his own private view and his needs were answered. He noticed how excited she was when the valedictorian gave her speech and he suspected they were related. His full attention was on her and he couldn't figure out why. He wanted to take his eyes off her but his eyes remained glued to her face and as he struggled with himself, he saw her look up at him and he froze. They stared at each other again just like they did when they bumped into each other, they couldn't understand what they were feeling. It came to an end when he saw a lady beside her touch her and she looked away, he gained himself after that and he excused himself from the scene.

Amberle looked up and she couldn't see him again. She somehow wished in her heart that he was still there but her wish crumbled when he never showed his face again even till the end of the ceremony.

" What a weird, handsome looking man," she muttered under her breath, drawing her mom's attention.

" What's that Amberle? What's troubling your mind? You don't seem focused and you look quite disturbed. Is anything the problem dear?," Her mom asked, looking at her with worry on her face.

" Nothing mom, I'm absolutely fine mom," Amberle replied with a smile but her mom was not convinced.

" You know you can talk to me dear," her mom said, concerned.

" Cheer up mom, I'm fine. I'm just so happy to see her graduate and I can't wait to take pictures with her," She replied with a smile.

" Okay dear, if you say so. I also can't wait to take pictures with my baby girl," Her mom answered as she reached out to her for a hug. " Come in here dear," her mom said as she moved closer to her with her hands wide open.

" I love you Mom, you're one in a quadrillion," Amberle spoke as she increased her grip on her mom.

" I love you too baby, I'm so proud of the woman you're becoming," Mrs Jones replied happily.

The ceremony ended and students were taking pictures with their families while wearing their graduation gowns and it was a lovely sight to behold. On one side of the school was Amberle, her sister and her mom taking pictures with bliss and on the other side of the university, were the Wright brothers. All the ladies were aiming to get a picture with them because of their good looks and they had no other choice but to let them.

Joseph watched as his brothers made a fool of themselves infront of those female students. He couldn't stand the fact that they were all over them and what irritated him the most was the fact that his brothers allowed it. He wanted to show up in front of them but he changed his mind. He had scores to settle with his brother Jeremy for keeping a huge secret from him and he was preparing to have a talk with him. Within him, he was very happy to see his brother graduate. He knew it was high time his brother joined the company and he was ready to make sure of that.

" Wow, these pictures look really nice dear, you look so beautiful today," Amberle praised her younger sister Anna.

" Not as beautiful as you look but thanks anyway," Anna replied with a huge smile.

" Stop that Anna, you look really pretty and your speech was well delivered. I love the woman you're becoming and please don't ever be scared to achieve your goals and make your dreams come true," Amberle said as she touched Anna's cheek.

" There is absolutely nothing I would not achieve with you by my side sis, you made me who I am today. You used all your earnings and savings to sponsor my education in the most expensive university in the city and I am most grateful for all your sacrifices sister. I love you from the bottom of my heart," Anna replied emotionally as tears dropped from her eyes into her cheek.

" Don't cry baby, I'm going to get it all back and you are worth more than those sacrifices and I will not hesitate to do them again for you my dear," Amberle said as she wiped the tears from her sister's eyes.

" No more tears girls, today is a very happy day and we are going to celebrate in joy, love and merry. I love you my beautiful daughters," Mrs Jones said and they all hugged.

" I would never wish for another family, I love you both with all of my heart," Anna replied as she tried to control her tears.

" Mom is right, let's celebrate and be happy. Today marks a new turn in our lives and I have a feeling something good is coming for us," Amberle said, she remembered her dad's words in her dreams. He had told her something good will be coming and she was expecting it. She wished he was alive to witness what was happening, to see her sister graduate and become a wonderful woman, but instead of feeling sad as usual, she was happy because she knew he was smiling down at them wherever he is and that made her feel so much better.

" So let's go to the restaurant and I'm going to give everyone a free meal today to celebrate my beautiful daughter's graduation," Mrs Jones said and they were all excited.

" Your customers will really like that Mom," Anna replied excitedly.

" Yes they will, come on girls. Let's go to our restaurant and party," Mrs Jones screamed in happiness.

" Chill mom, you're going to scare these rich people off," Anna replied, shy from her attitude and they all laughed.

" Let's go now mom," Amberle said and they left the school environment.
