chapter 29

                        Elley was overwhelmed by Brian's confession; but that time she needed some time to handle other things as well. She wanted to know herself and her feelings. She wanted to begin a new journey.                         She wanted to change her perspective towards life. She wanted to give chance to herself. She was thinking to start living present by carrying new vision.                        At that moment she wasn't absolute fine to answer Brian. She wasn't recovered from Aiden's betrayal. Many feelings were heading in her heart. Therefore she calmed herself first.Then she took a long breath and said to him, " Brian, I don't know what to say! I respect your feelings. Moreover, I would like to say that I am blessed by having an innocent and decent lover like you! But right now, I need some time.                         Don't be misunderstood. I really need some time to start a new journey. As you know I am not recovered yet. Rather I need some space. I don't want to answer you to distract myself and to forget my break up with Aiden.                         I can't hurt you because of Aiden's betrayal. Both situations are different. Both feelings have their own place, so I don't want to ruin anything. Hence I will answer you later.                         Sorry, don't think that I am hurting you. I don't want to injustice with you. Therefore I will think upon your proposal and answer you wisely. I hope you will understand my current state of mind. "" Of course, I understand. You can take your time. I just wanted to express my feelings, so I did. It doesn't mean you have to answer at this moment.                         I suppressed my feelings since childhood. In every situation I tried to hide my feelings. In fact I kept this secret so long; but today I confessed everything and I am happy with it.                         Today I am feeling burdenless. It's sufficient to me. From now onwards I don't need to hide my feelings. I can treat you as I desire.                         I don't need to put any tag of friendship on my every pretty action. Now I can openly say that I love you. It's totally sufficient for me.                         Briefly, there is no hurry. You take your time and I will shower my love. That's it. " Brian smiled and said. " Thank you so much Brian. " Elley replied. Luna was looking both of them silently. She was happy, so she adored them and said, " Finally you confessed bro! I am so happy for you. I am feeling top on the world. " " Hmm. Me too Luna. Due to excitement my heart is also dancing inside. " Brian said, caressed his hair and started blushing. " OMG! What am I seeing? My big brother is blushing huh! " Luna said and started tickling to Brian. " Luna, stop it. " Brian laughed and tried to hide his blush. " On one condition! " Luna replied. " Okay done. " Brian said without asking condition. " Oh god! Aren't you going to ask my condition? " Luna questioned. " Okay fine I am asking. What is your condition little brat? " Brian asked laughingly. " You have to spend whole day with me and mom. By the way you can come along with my would be sister-in-law. Deal? " Luna said. Brian smiled and said, " Of course! Deal! How can I refuse this golden opportunity? " " Great. Fine then! " Luna replied and hugged Brian.                         On the one hand Brian was also patting her back softly and indulging her. On the other hand Elley was shocked. She had never seen such closeness in their bonding.                        In front of her they both behaved professionally and at that moment they both were indulging and talking each other frankly.                         Obviously that's why Elley had confusion in her head, so she was looking at both of them alternately by carrying couples of questions.
