บท 13: All Of Me.....

Andrew had no other way to stop her so he plainly replied with a hint of discomfort in his tone, thinking that maybe she can notice it, "No... there's no problem, you two can enjoy yourself I will be taking my leave.... I'm with Stan and Brann call me if you need..."

But he was again disappointed by her intelligency , when she said smiling from ear to ear, "Okay... you go and rest... I'll be there soon..

"Proven: Ariena is a certified dumb woman.....''

Andrew was so frustrated that he don't know what to do, so he decided to leave soon. He said in his frustration, "Okay.... come early as we have to leave soon....." He turned around and left the two on their own, to avoid any more mishaps to happen.

....

Ariena and Evan were dancing beautifully, it was as if this song was written for them. Their smile, their expressions, their body moves with the music so beautifully, all of the things were too perfect. The onlookers were astonished to see such a wonderful dance.

....

Andrew reach the bar and order for the hardest drink with a thought to cool off this burning sensation in his heart. He was cursing Ariena continuously in his mind, ' She is the most stupid, dumbest person. It's a total waste to show any concern or protection to this moron. She deserves a tight spank so that some sense could be induced in that good for nothing brain of her's.....'

"What happened to you? You look so grumpy.... Where is Ariena ? Don't tell me she has gone to the food area again..." asked Brann with an amused look as he saw Andrew walking with one hand in pocket and other holding his drink with a dangerous look in his eyes.

Andrew glared at him and literally growled, "Don't you dare to mention that idiot woman in front of me .... not now..." After saying his piece of words, he walked to the couch and sat there with his crumbled face. He was starring at the dance floor with so much of rancorous as if he wants to choke someone to death.

Stan and Brann, looked at each other as both of them were bewildered from his words and actions, it took some time for them to come to their usual self. Both quickly look towards the

dance floor and got the surprise of their life. There She was .... Ariena was smiling brightly and looking so lovingly at Evan while they were dancing.

Brann couldn't help himself and gasped loudly, "Oh my my, how that happened Andrew..... isn't you two went on the dance floor,why there is Evan with her...?"

"Andrew can you please explain a little bit... " Stan asked him in a calm tone.

Andrew turned to give them just a glance and again started drilling holes through his eyes into Evan, and split out his words in anger, "She wanted to go with me to thank that man suddenly he asked for the dance and this dumb woman agreed to it despite of my resistance..." he breath in and out a few times to be calm and compose but it was not working at all when he again looked in her. "Do you know I hinted her in so many ways to say no but she jumped on his offer and asked me to go away and rest..... can you believe this.." he continued.

Stan and Brann have no idea what to say or do so they let out a sigh and looked at their front where beautiful couple was dancing.

After sometime of silence, Brann said in a low voice, "They look so compatible together, it seems like this song was made for them. Just listen to each and every words in the song and look at their faces it's like they are living the song and their body is moving like it's surfing in the ocean of music with so much of elegancy .... it's awesome, mind blowing .... right Stan.... "

Suddenly, the temperature nearby them lowered down, the chilliness in the atmosphere made both of them flinch in their seats. Stan covered face with his hand and let out a deep sigh. "Oh God! Brann seriously, are you out of your mind ...." He said in frustration while gritting his teeth, "Do you want to held a condolence on the same day on which you are born.... Nobody wants to know your expert comments on how they are performing... you really think that's what we are sitting here and judging a stupid Talent Show..... Just for the time being keep your mouth shut if you don't have any good thing to say..."

"Sorry... " Brann got his point and answered timidly while sitting with her head down. Stan felt bad while looking at him but it was better being scolded by him then facing the anger of Andrew.

Stan at the same time find it odd to see Andrew acting like this. He turned to Andrew and asked him in serious tone, " Did something happen between both of you that we don't know, as you can also noticed that you are acting a little weird today, you are too focused on her, monitoring her every moves and you are so frustrated just because she is dancing with someone else just for one song...." He paused a little to see if his bluff is correct or is it just a little too much thinking on his side. And when he saw the confused look on him as if he's fighting to prove something to himself, he was taken back, he started again, " Andrew we all know that...."

Andrew was real quick to cut him off with his words, "Just don't talk nonsense here, there's nothing like that. It's just that I don't want any heated news or article about her in tommorow newspaper. You know how much trouble I have to pass through last time.... and when did she dance with someone other than me, she had just dance twice with you guys, first time at the wedding day and other time on your birthday Stan.... so just cut the crap..."

Stan was relieved to hear his words as he doesn't want any more misunderstanding to happen. 'Everything should be going according to the way it had been planned, so that everyone can live their lives as they have had desired for.' He thought to himself and turn to Andrew to say, " Okay I got your point... You stay here I'll be going to her and ask her to come with me..."

He was about to stand up when Andrew stopped him while saying, " You don't need to go there as I'll be leaving soon . I have a few important meetings tommorow morning so I'll not be able to accompany you guys more as I have to wake up early... And also I'll be going out of town for business for two days, so let's meet up after that...." Then he put down his glass after glupping it in one shot and stand up to turn to Brann, "Hey!! stop sulking already ... it's your birthday and look at your brooding face.. it feels like that someone has robbed away all your beauties ... hahaha..... come on give us your evergreen flirtious smile...."

Brann smiled immediately while giving him a tight hug. Andrew returned his gestures with a smile and said, "Happy Birthday Brann... let's talk more when I return back and please inform uncle that I'll be visiting him soon and sorry for not saying goodbye to him.."

"Thanks.... and don't worry about him, I'll inform Dad.. " Brann replied happily.

All three said their goodbyes and Andrew left them to have his way to his wife and her SUITOR.....
