"Hello," Noah answered the call right away on the first ring. He had been waiting for Aria's call since the last time she had called him. That was what he looked forward to every day and that was what kept him going. Otherwise, he would have become a broken man by now or even worse, a demon desperately waiting for his angel.

"Noah, Ian here."

"Why did you call? Where's Aria?" Noah asked, disappointment flashing through his voice. Whenever he got the call every alternate day, it was always Aria he spoke to first. Only after they were done would Ian take over the phone. But today, Ian was the first one to speak. How could he not be disappointed?

"Noah, you could talk to me, right? We are friends and we knew each other before you even met Aria. How mean of a friend are you!!" Ian playfully scolded his friend for forgetting about him after he had got Aria.

"Don't try to behave like Joshua with me. We both know that you can never be like him and stop acting melodramatic." That was all it took from Noah for Ian shut his mouth. His lips twitched and he rolled his eyes in despair. "Where is Aria?"

"That.." Ian scratched his neck. "Aria is sick." He blurted out in one breath and the words came out muffled on the other side. Yet Noah heard them crisp and clear. He was sitting in his office when he had received the call and the next second, he stood up with such great force that his swiveling chair went rolling and crashed the window behind him. Panic started to fill his heart and out of nowhere his head started to ache. His migrane was acting up again.

"What did you say?" Noah asked, his voice barely above a whisper. He was scared now and his heart felt heavy, like a boulder was weighing down on him. Everything felt dark and gloomy and all he wanted right now was Aria.

"Aria is sick. She is down with fever." Ian replied. He had heard the sudden outburst and had praised himself for deciding to tell him a lie. Just on hearing that his beloved was sick, a reaction so intense erupted from him. What happens when he learned the truth about her actual state? How would he react? Ian shuddered thinking about it. He was sure that Noah would go crazy once the truth was out.

Ian could only hope that Noah would let him go once they met after three days. It was not his intention to lie in the first place. But he did not want him to panic thinking about Aria and her well-being. They would return three days later and Noah could do anything he wanted to him and before then, Ian vowed to do everything he could to make Aria feel better.

"Aria was overworked and now she is down is fever. That's it." Ian answered and apologized to his best friend in his mind just like how had done to Ivy.

"Where is she now?"

"She is sleeping now. I have given her medicines and by tomorrow morning, she will be perfectly alright." Ian hoped it to be the case and Aria would be perfectly well by tomorrow. He wished her to recover well and come out of the emotional breakdown she had just suffered. 

"How did she get sick all of a sudden?" Noah sighed. He knew Ian would not allow anything to happen to Aria. If he said that she would be alright by tomorrow, that meant she would be perfectly well by tomorrow. He relaxed a little and rubbed his forehead to ease the headache. He very badly wanted to go to her take care of her himself. But that was something not in his power, not when she was in a military restricted area. He could only put all his trust in Ian now.

"She was overworked and exhausted. You know how it is here with the war and the soldiers getting injured. Her body could not take it due to a lack of rest. Don't worry, she will be fine once she gets a good sleep."

"I hope so. Please take care of her."

"Noah don't worry. I am here and I'll take care of her." Though Ian assured him, he was still not sure if he could actually help Aria and make her feel better. All he could do was hope for Aria to be strong and fight this out herself and if she needed, he would always be there to help her.

"Thank you very much." Noah finally relaxed and his stiff muscles eased a little. He walked towards the floor to ceiling window and looked out at the night sky. It was as though he was sending a silent message to his lovely girl to get well soon. He was missing her dearly and he did not know how long he could hold up.

"Yeah, Noah. I had something else to tell you. We will be returning home after three days."

This time Noah shook his head trying to see if his ears were playing games with him. But it was not. He had actually heard what he wanted to hear for a long time. "What did you say?"

"Yes you heard it right. We will be coming back after three days now that the war is over."

"This is such good news. You have no idea how much I have missed you guys." Noah was so ecstatic that he felt himself flying above the clouds. His happiness knew no bounds, not when he had received such good news. He could finally see Aria and he would never allow her to leave him. No way.

"I know, Noah. I know." Ian smiled faintly. He knew everything and that was what scared him. "I have to go now, okay? Take care."

"You too and take care of Aria."

Noah stood in front of the window for a long time as he stared at the sight before him. It was not until Ronnie called him from the back did he come out of his reverie. After the call, he had completely forgotten about going home. He had forgotten about Oliver and also that he would be waiting for him to have dinner together. Only after Ronnie's reminder did he remember about him and rush home as fast as he could.

Just as he had expected, Oliver was waiting for him and he smiled him widely welcoming him home. "Did you have a lot of work today?"

"Yes," Noah answered as he smiled at him in return. "I'll be back in five minutes."

"Mr. West, I need to speak to you about something," Noah said out of the blue, killing the quiet atmosphere. They were having their dinner silently when Noah started the topic he had in mind for a long time. It was now time to tell him the plan he had in mind.

"Yes?"

"I don't want to drag this secret any longer. I want to come clean before your daughters and tell them about you. We don't know how long it will take for us to track all those people who were responsible for my mentor's death, nor do we know who is behind all this to put a full stop altogether and end this matter. I don't want to hide things from them any longer, not when they have searching for you without even knowing the danger they are attracting. What do you say?"

Oliver comprehended whatever he had heard and felt his words to have made sense. It was true that once the world knew about his presence, chaos would ensue again. But that did not mean he wanted to hurt his daughters and hide himself from them. He did not know what would happen in the future and if he would even be alive once the matter ended. He wanted to spend as much time as he had with them, not hiding from them just to make sure they were safe. He could do that and sure their safety even after being with them with Noah's help.

"I agree. When are you thinking about telling them?"

"Aria will be returning home from the medical camp after three days. So, I was thinking abut telling everything to them after a week. What do you say?"

"Fair enough. A week is it?"

"Yes."

"Okay. By the way, have you the caught the man who broke into my daughter's house?" Oliver's face hardened as he spoke the words. He had seen the news and had heard about everything that had happened. As soon as he had heard the apartment name and the number, he knew it was his house. How could he not remember the house he had bought when he was newly wedded to his lovely wife, Susan. That was their house until Aria and Ivy's birth and they had moved to a bigger house when his daughters started growing up. That house was dear to him as it was where his wife and he had lived and his daughters had taken their first steps. It was where he had got his family, the best family he could ever wish.

"No, Mr. Oliver. The police did not catch him, but I did."

"What do you mean?" Oliver stopped eating and started at Noah without blinking as he waited for the answer.

"That man belongs to a very deadly gang and even if the police caught him, it was easy for him come out. So, my men caught him before the police could. Anyway he will be of use to me as he knows a lot of information I want."

"That's great to hear then I hope you treat him well for the little stunt he performed to scare my child." Oliver said in anger and contiued eating. But what Noah said next made him stop again.

"Mr. West. I have some good news for you."

"And what could that be?"

"Your daughter, Ivy is dating my friend Joshua Martin."

As soon as he said it, Oliver stared at him dumbfounded before he started laughing loudly rendering Noah and Ronnie, who was silently eating with them, speechless.

'Why is he laughing like a madman? Did he lose his screws somewhere? Or did the matter make him lose his mind?' Ronnie wondered and the next second his eyes widened in disbelief. 'Don't tell me. Mr. West does not like Miss West being with Master Martin. Oh my God. Then, what will happen to Master Martin?' Ronnie's mind ran wild and he started assuming things even before he heard Oliver's true thoughts.

"I don't know if I should happy or thankful towards you young people for coming into my daughters' life. My Ivy would never find anybody better than him. I am sure about it and you have no idea how happy I am. My daughters have found good men for themselves and I am relieved now with you and him around them. I am so thankful to you." Oliver held Noah's hands in his and cried, tears running down his face in joy.

But Noah panicked seeing the tears and he assumed the reason to be something else altogether. "Mr. West, please don't cry. Please. Nothng will happen to your daughters, nothing at all. I promise we will keep them happy."

His words made Oliver to chuckle. "You stupid boy. These are happy tears and I am sure that my daughters will be happy with such good men as their partners. I have no doubt about it."

"Then, why are you crying?" Noah asked in confusion. He wondered why Oliver was crying even though the news was anything but sad.

"You will know the meaning of them when you have a daughter of your own in the future."

Noah's eyes widened and the next second, his ears became red in embarrassment. He had misunderstood the situation and had jumped to conclusions without even thinking. But Oliver's words kept running in his mind. It was about him having a daughter in the future and the idea did not seem bad at all. His daughter, just the thought of it make him all giddy and the next second, he imagined carrying his beautiful daughter in his arms. He could not help but smile on thinking how lovely it felt. Now, he actually started to looking forward to have a daughter with Aria in the future.
