We have loved, not sinned

A young girl stepped down the train. She looked around her to see the face she missed the most in the five years she stayed away. Although it was perhaps wrong, she had to admit she definitely missed him even more than her parents. She was 18 when she left and she was finally 23. “Andy, I hope you're here” she prayed. She remembered the events of the day she had left. The last time she had seen him. He had driven her to the train station to get to the airport. He was the one who had suggested that she study Law. She could easily talk people into and out of anything without even knowing them. She was good with words. Neither talked much during the journey. They both had bottled up so many emotions that it wasn't possible for them to let it all out. The journey was not too long as they lived nearby. He stopped the car outside a church. "Rose, I think we should both pray. You are going on a long journey so let's pray for your well-being" said Andrew. She nodded and got out of the car.

Andrew stood up and walked to her. It was as if he was in some sort of a trance. He cupped her cheeks and looked into her eyes. His own eyes were filled with tears and he kissed her forehead. She wiped his tears with her thumbs as she cupped his face. They joined their foreheads together as they both cried tears of happiness from seeing each other after so long.He came out of his trance and asked her "what are you doing here? Why did you come?" She just smiled and said "do I need any reason to see you? It's my birth right to see you whenever I want." He couldn't help but chuckle. "I see" and went close to her face. His breath on her neck sent shivers down her spine. He whispered "and this is my right, to come near to you" huskily in her ear. Rose blushed so hard that she could have been mistaken for a tomato at that point. "Andy" she called him.Andrew closed his eyes in ecstasy. He was hearing this name from her mouth after so long that he couldn't control himself and hugged her.

After spending time with Rose, Andrew went back home but not empty handed. He brought sweets and chocolates for everyone. "Wow. What's the special occasion? Did some girl finally say yes to marry or date you?" "Dad. What do you mean by finally? If I asked, any girl would say yes. I happen to be so good looking and hot. Anyway this is all because I am super happy today. My friend did something very special and I am happy for them." The youngsters understood what Andrew meant by that and they all secretly winked at each other. "You have friends?" asked James raising his eyebrow. "Dad" moaned Andrew and James started laughing. Andy smiled seeing his father laugh. He knew that his father had been through a lot in his life. Losing his once closest and best friend was not something he was prepared for. Andrew was happy that his father was laughing even if it was at his expense. They went to his room to talk to him. "When are you going to tell her about your feelings? How long will yo
