Merlyn's POV

It was six in the evening and I had just returned from college. "Hi Princess" My dad gazes at me in warmth running his hand on my head lovingly. "Dad stop doing that in the presence of Vance." I crib with my eyes directed on my little brother who seems to have a good time watching our daddy-daughter show. "Oh, did I do something wrong princess?" Dad takes an innocent side as I give him a hard glare. He pulls my nose least bothered about my antics and my brother bursts to laugh that he was controlling all the while. "See, you made me a joker in front of Vance." I complained pointing to my brother who was now rolling on the ground getting dyspeptic in a hysterical laughter.

Though the sickness had taken a toll, within weeks Mr Luke had rendered complete concentration over his work to the best of his health. I promised him, I would take care of his family whenever there would be a requirement. My phone buzzed after a short while and a smile embraces my features looking  at the caller Id.  It was my mom. "Hello son, it's been a while since we met you. Of late you have been too engrossed in work. You rarely visit us."  She complains like a five year old kid. "Mom, please don't start again."  I told her to sign the documents that required my perusal.  "Have dinner with us tomorrow. We can have a light chat and then you can get home." I informed her in an affirmative and continued with work but wi
