Chapter 9 : Brothers in Love"Do you know my child, those names you hear everyday around town: the Bachelors, the Wainwrights, they are of even more ancient blood than yours."
"And know that their blood and your blood are richly mingled. Had not it been for that, they would not have survived."
"It all started with two brothers in love."Miraj was the first to be struck by Cupid's arrows.
He had become somewhat of a loner in his young adult life. He was constantly caring for the children and smoothing whatever rough patches VJ conjured in business.
I was very pleased when I heard of Bella.
Miraj and Bella had been friends since childhood. Though their contact had diminished over the years, a chance meeting resulted in a night of stargazing and a budding romance.
Miraj later added that it was followed by a visit to the theater.
Meanwhile, Cupid had decided to give VJ a very special birthday present, with as expected, the inappropriate touch. The gift was in the form of Blair Wainwright, longtime and stady girlfriend of Cyclone Sword.
Both brother seemed to share a passion for stargazing.
Things were not too smooth,
Blair refused to be overly unfaithful and progress further than the gentle lovey dovey.
Meanwhile Bella would have long conversations with Miraj but refused to visit for dinner. Miraj was very distraught.
That issue, however, was solved pretty soon.
Bella finally turned up, and I was shocked to see that she was hugely pregnant. Miraj seemed to know nothing about it as he was even more horrified when she went to labour right in our home. She was rushed to hospital.
That was the next memorable incident I mentioned in the last story.
Rudy had a nearly-a-twin half-niece to share his birthday.
Bella Bachelor gave birth to Miraj's daughter, Carie Bachelor.
