Love Unfolding 5 In Harmony

Everyone made their way to dinner. They were famished after the ruckus the siblings did.

The moment they slide into their respective chair, they were served an enormous platter of food.

Andy eyed her mother, demanding an explanation. The food can feed an entire clan.

"Isn't this too much?"

The supper comes in courses that she can't decide what to eat first. She can't even enumerate all of them. She just knew that there were a lot of sweet stuffs for dessert.

Well, she loves sweets and so her eyes sparkled at the sight of them but even so, she's still complaining for the lavish dinner.

Kate only brushed her off and without further adieu, they started to dine.

While eating, their conversation started on checking up on each other, on how's Grandpa John in Green City, and some other trivial things and stuffs until the conversation landed on Andy, transferring school.

"So …Father of all nations, I will trouble you to get me an apartment of my own, near Mohr's University."

All three pair of eyes looked her way, puzzled.

"You are not going to live here?" Kevin asked since the University is only 45 minutes drive from home.

She shrugged," Well I'm going home from time to time but I want a place of my own."

"I want to live alone, and… and... and I'm just going to be one call away then 'p.o.o.p' I'm with you," she added.

Not getting any reaction from her family, she continued to reason out.

"What if my friends ask me to stay over at my place, should I bring them here? I don't want that. So… Father, help me out please."

Andry Lewis sighed at the sight of his beloved daughter. She'd gave him that cute little bunny vibe with all the pouting and pleading which made him agreed to her request.

Kate only smiled lovingly while nodding and Kevin turned his head sideways in contrast.

"So... So... spoiled," Kevin said while eying his sister.

Feeling her blood boiling at what she heard, Andy forcibly swallow the food in her throat to argue with her brother.

"Look who's talking?" She was pointing the fork right at her brother.

"Did you think I don't know? That you're gifting me a Ferrari 458 Spider?" She added. "Now, who's spoiling me?"

Kevin choked at the truth and averted his eyes guiltily.

Their dinner ended with the siblings continually bickering but no traces of hate at that and resume their conversation in the living room so lively that their laughs could be heard from a distance.

Glancing at the piano glittering in the room, Andy requested her father to play something they could sing.

Andry smiled and dragged his daughter to stand in his side while he plays the piano.

"So what song do you want me to play Sweetheart?"

"Something lively Father," she answered while throwing both of her arms in her fathers neck for a hug in the back.

Feeling the warmth of his daughter's embrace, Andry squeezed her arm then begun to play the first note, the second and all through out.

[ I drank champagne with kings and queens

The politicians praised my name

But those are someone else's dreams

The pitfalls of the man I became… ]

Kevin, as his father begun to sing, he came closer to the piano and sung along and so was Kate.

Andy, tightens her hug to her father after hearing four voices blending together in harmony. It gave her bliss.

'It has been a while.' She thought.

[ For years and years

I chased their cheers

The crazy speed of always needing more

But when I stop

And see you here

I remember who all this was for…]

Aside from Andy, feeling emotional and all, there was her mother. She could see the suppressed tears of joy in those deep brown eyes.

She inhaled deeply in grat.i.tude for having this family that no worldly treasure can match.

[ And from now on

These eyes will not be blinded by the lights

From now on

What's waited 'til tomorrow starts tonight

It starts tonight

And let this promise in me start

Like an anthem in my heart

From now on

From now on

From now on

And we will come back home

And we will come back home

Home, again! ]

And just like that, they immersed themselves in music until the night deepens.
