FOREVER TOGETHER

Meanwhile, Inside...

Jackson was so angry. Just then Lorenzo came down searching for Benno.

Elizabeth told him that Benno just left. Lorenzo stayed there just to know why Jackson looks so angry.

“Henzel, who is the master brain behind this? I know it’s neither in your head nor Benno’s, where this idea popped up. Tell me who gave you the idea of taking Benno to school?” Jackson asked.

Henzel looked at Lorenzo who was standing there. On hearing Jackson’s inquiry, Lorenzo without grabbing anyone’s attention went upstairs.

“It was Lorenzo’s idea.” Henzel confessed.

“Lorenzo.. come back!” Jackson called,

“Yes, dad?” Lorenzo approached Jackson.

“You asked him to take Benno to school?”

“What? Me? No way!”

Henzel was shocked to hear Lorenzo saying that. “Lorenzo, don’t you remember? It was you who told me that Benno can help me,” He said.

Lorenzo suddenly laughed. “Oh my! I was just joking. I never thought that you would really ask Benno’s favor.” He lied.

Poor Henzel felt helpless. His eyes and mouth went wide open on realizing that Lorenzo betrayed him.

He burst out of tears and cried like a baby.

Lorenzo was very sad to see his little brother crying, but he was helpless.

“You may stop shedding those crocodile tears,” Jackson said.

Still, Henzel kept on crying.

“Leave it, dad. He is a little child. Poor Henzel, I promise that he’ll not get into troubles like these anymore.” Lorenzo said in order to save Henzel.

“Okay, if he ever runs into troubles anymore, it’ll be you who’ll get caught.” Saying this, Jackson left

“Henzel, are you hurt?” Lorenzo asked approaching him.

“Go away, I don’t want to see you. You liar,” Henzel cried very badly and walked upstairs.

Lorenzo followed Henzel. “Henzel, I am sorry. I at least saved you from further problems.”

“Oh, thank you so much. Okay? Just leave me.” He shouted.

Hearing some noises, Drake opened his room door. “What’s going on here? Any problem?” He saw Henzel’s eyes red, not out of anger but because he was crying. “Henzel, what happened? Why are you crying?” He asked.

Drake took him inside his room and Lorenzo followed them. Henzel explained everything to Drake.

“Leave it, it is not a problem.” Drake comforted Henzel.

“But it hurts that this Lorenzo betrayed me,” Henzel said.

“I am so sorry, Henzel. I’ll tell dad that I was the mastermind behind this and that I told you to take Benno with you to your school for the meeting.” Lorenzo said.

“Will you?” He asked happily wiping his tears.

“Yeah, I will.” Lorenzo smiled.

“No, the problem is all over now, don’t go and talk about it again,” Drake said.

“So, in front of dad, I am a fool who won’t study and do some mischief like this. Huh?” Henzel asked.

“Okay, then it’s better you go admit all your mistakes, Lorenzo,” Drake said.

Lorenzo walked out of Drake’s room, while both Drake and Henzel waited for him to return. After minutes, Lorenzo came back.

“What happened? You told dad?” Henzel asked with eagerness in his eyes.

“Yes,” He replied

“What did dad said?” Drake asked,

“He said nothing much. He looked very angry and asked me to leave before he slaps me.” Lorenzo smiled.
