Chapter 57: I Will Wait For That Day...
When Jiang YuYan didn't return for long time, Jiang Yang felt little worried and excused himself too. He went to washroom and knocked on the door. After a knock, Jiang YuYan came outside and saw her brother was standing there. She looked at him. Her eyes were little moist which she tried to hide from her brother but there was no use as he could sense each and everthing about her. He didn't say much and just asked, "Are you ok?" He was standing opposite to washroom's door with the support of a wall infront of it.
She nodded but still didn't look at him. He went close to her and hugged her while caressing the back of her head and said, "We will talk about it later when we will be at home. Ok?" She just nodded. Then both went to the living room. When these two returned, their mother looked at Jiang Yang like asking 'What happened?' He just lightly shooked his head and smiled as saying 'Nothing'. Then they sat on their respective seats.
Lu Qiang noticed this and also he realised the change in Jiang YuYan's face. He noticed her eyes were moist too. He wanted to ask her 'Is she ok?' just then his sisters and Lu LiJun came downstairs. All three greeted Jiang family. Lu LiJun sat beside his brother in the seat between Jiang YuYan and Lu Qiang. He was still not happy to see Jiang YuYan and that too she was sitting beside his brother.
Lu Bao and Lu Lian started to chat with Jiang siblings as they couldn't do it properly on previous day. All four exchanged their Mobile numbers but Lu Qiang was busy with Lu LiJun to discuss about his preparation for summer camp for which he had to leave next morning.
Just then butler Xu Dui came from dining room to inform that dinner is ready. All Lu family members sat on their respective chairs with elder Lu Huan in the head of the family chair and Lu Qiang was sitting on the chair at other end of the dining table exactly opposite to his grandpa. Lu LiJun sat beside his brother on his left side. Jiang Peizhi and his wife sat on Lu Chen and his wife's seat. Jiang Yang sat next to the right side of Lu Qiang with Jiang YuYan next to him. Lu LiJun was smiling and talking to his brother and like always, Lu Qiang was listening everything carefully while filing Lu LiJun's dish with a food.
Jiang Yang and Jiang YuYan found it as a really familiar scene as Jiang Yang always used to do the same for his sister when she was around the same age of Lu LiJun. Both looked at each other and smiled. They atleast understood one thing that these Lu siblings' relationship is quite similar to theirs.
After the dinner everyone went to the garden. Elders sat on the chairs in sitting area while these youngsters went to the patio. Lu Jiahui called Lu LiJun and asked him to go to sleep as he had go for summer camp next morning. He obeyed and went to his room with Lu Qiang following him. Jiang siblings and two sisters stayed back in the patio.
Lu Bao : "Lu LiJun still can't sleep without brother Lu Qiang" she said it and gave a deep sigh.
Lu Lian : "Brother Lu Qiang is like a father to him. You know it."
Lu Bao : "I know! But soon he will get married then what will he do?"
Lu Lian : "He will get married to someone who can understand their situation."
Lu Boa : "I hope so!"
Jiang siblings were listening to their conversation and looked at each other thinking about what kind of situation but didn't ask anything. Three girls were chatting for a long time while Jiang Yang was on a call from hospital in US. After sometime Lu Qiang came back and Jiang Yang was done with his call too. He went to Lu Qiang and both started to stroll in the lawn while conversing. Both didn't get time before to know more about each others present.
Jiang Yang : "How have you been all these years?"
Lu Qiang : "Just as you can see."
Jiang Yang : "It must be tough for you to handle everything after uncle's accident. Father informed me about it but I am sorry that I couldn't contact you as I was troubled with other problems too."
Lu Qiang : "I always wonder, what happened suddenly that you and Jiang YuYan never contacted me after your last call from USA, when you said that Jiang YuYan is not well. I never got any news about you two."
Jiang Yang : "That's quite complicated."
Lu Qiang : "Is it about Jiang YuYan?"
Jiang Yang : "Hmmmm!"
Lu Qiang : "What happened?"
Jiang Yang : "Well you are the only person in this world I can and I want to share it, but I guess it's her life and her decision whether she wants to tell about it to someone or not. If you still want to know about it then I can tell you." Though these friends were away for long time, still they had a trust in each other. Jiang Yang really wanted to trust Lu Qiang with Jiang YuYan. He knew how much he cared for her in the past and in present he could see the love for Jiang YuYan in his eyes.
Lu Qiang : "No! It's ok. I can understand." He declined the offer as what Jiang Yang said was right. He too felt that it's her decision whether she wants to tell anyone about her personal matters.
Jiang Yang : "Lu Qiang!" He suddenly called his name and stopped in his track.
Lu Qiang : "Huuu?" He looked at Jiang Yang and stopped too.
Jiang Yang : "One day, If she will open herself to you and talk about what happened in the past then consider it as she trusts you a lot." He said it while looking into his eyes as showing how much he trusts Lu Qiang.
Lu Qiang : "I'll wait for that day." He said while looking into his eyes too as indicating that he can trust him.
Jiang Yang : "I know that and I already trust you."
Both looked at Jiang YuYan who was busy with Lu sisters and both went to the patio too.
