Five years two months later

--- The international Airport, City B ---

​​

An eye-catchy couple exited the gate. The man was tall and handsome with a faint smile directed at the girl next to him.

Her long layered hair was swaying looking for where to collect their bags. "It's over there. Fourth belt."

The elated mellifluous tone made people around her smile at the girl who was jumping on her toes telling the man.

The man obviously knew she was very much happy, "Alia, watch out..."

Alia mischievously smiled at him who pulled her back when she was about to bump into a stranger, "Finn, we are finally here. Oh god."

Finn Stanley rubbed her head adoringly and reached the baggage section. Both didn't have much luggage. He took a trolley and kept three bags on it without letting Alia carry.

Alia was very much busy checking her mobile and bumped into a lady, "Sorry Sorry..."

She apologized and gave an awkward smile at Finn who gently knocked on her head. "Wait... Sit"

He helped her to sit on the bags and pushed the trolley making her laugh. "Finn, am I looking like a little girl? I'm twenty-three... Even those little tots are getting envious of me."

An old couple who was passing by commented looking at them, "Keep your love safe... Such an adorable couple."

Finn just smiled and saw Alia checking her mobile note before announcing, "434th time we got that compliment."

Finn always doubted her age if it was really twenty-three. He again doubted seeing her stretch her hands to get her down at a man who was running towards them.

"Little devil!"

"I'm back."

Alia announced hugging back the handsome man who was looking funky and stylish.

Finn smiled looking at Rian who hugged his childhood friend and circled before leaving her down. He watched Noah, Eva greeting and hugging Alia.

Yeah! Alia aka Aria Cooper.

"My Comrade is even more dashing." Aria greeted Isaac Ross who was four times the phoenix golden award winner actor in Country A and nominated in many awards at the international level.

"I must say, my Little Chief is beyond beautiful." Isaac smiled.

The 'Commander' movie gave him a new breakthrough and he was very glad Aria trusted him and chose him for it unconditionally supporting him.

Rian pulled Aria's ear, "Little devil, aren't we supposed to be grown-up? You are acting like a small kid excited at the airport. You are spoiled rotten by somebody." His eyes swept on Finn who had a mild smile.

Aria was grinning ruining Rian's hairstyle proving that she was a small excited kid at the airport.

Noah supported his elbow on her shoulder, "Any secret to travel back in time?"

"Young businessman, My classmates asked your number seeing your front cover of magazines. Business suit for receiving me at the airport! Not bad President Wood."

Aria heard a light cough to see Amelia and Rowan reaching them. She happily skipped towards them who obviously looked very happy. "Mum... Pop."

Rian and Noah moved next to Finn, "Isn't my Little Devil behaving like younger than before? Was she the same in college time?"

Finn nodded looking at Aria. "Except in the beginning. I had thought she would be gloomy but from the time we got along well, she is happy, lively."

Eva nodded with a hum, "We can see that. Thanks, man, keeping her childlike alive."

It was more like tolerating her.

Aria turned to Finn, "Finn, Grandfather Stanley is at Morgan mansion. Even Uncle and auntie are over there. Let's head there."

She had just finished, Eva held Aria's left hand, "My Goddess, you got engaged and you didn't tell me."

Aria smiled looking at the ring but froze and she asked gingerly, "I had messaged Alan but didn't receive his reply. Does he know I'm coming today?"

Amelia, Rowan, Rian, and Isaac looked at each other.

Rian spoke carefully, "Brother Alan didn't meet anyone of us after he met you last time in the country S. He didn't come home even once or receiving our calls."

Aria bit her lip and spoke dejectedly, "I called him many times but he didn't receive my calls even once. I... I will talk to him soon."

Eva diverted the topic, "Hello hello... When is the party? Don't even think we will let you off. We will clean your pockets, President Cooper."

All chuckled hearing her.

Aria's mood improved and asked, "Why not a pre-wedding cocktail party or a grand wedding and reception?"

"Wow..." All exclaimed.

Eva chased after Aria, "You little cheater... Why didn't you tell me? You dared to hide..."

All were laughing looking at two girls still playing around as they used to.

At last, Finn held Aria and stopped them, "You didn't eat much in flight. You will get tired."

Aria and Eva made faces at each other and hopped on cars towards the Morgan mansion.

The Fourie was in Noah's modified stocked jeep rubicon. After chattering generally, Aria poked Eva and whispered, "Did it?"

Eva and Isaac were living together from the time she returned after completing her graduation.

Eva had whined at Aria many times saying Isaac doesn't do anything and just cuddles her to sleep. He always helped himself in the bathroom if she seduces him.

"I sometimes feel like I'm with an old man. He must be weakling. My goddess, my youth is wasting."

Aria wanted to slap on her mouth.

Eva realized she said aloud hearing Noah and Rian laughing hard in the front seats understanding what she meant.

"These girls are grown up." Noah tried to be emotionless saying it but laughed again.

Eva snorted and got back from Rian, "Mr.Artist, you think I don't know you and the tough girl were in live-in for two years before returning. Don't tell me you are a gentleman?"

Aria knew that but she hadn't told anybody.

Noah spoke, "Taken Roxy Stephen's personality..." He didn't continue and all burst into laughter.

"My Beauty cent percent got beaten on his a*s daily."

Rian gritted his teeth, "Eva, I will make sure you will die tonight."

Eva didn't take it seriously and rolled her eyes.

Aria and Noah's eyes met at the rearview mirror understanding Rian's plan and zipped their lips.

They chatted, teased, and flirted happily how they used to. The differences were that the boys were grown tall into young handsome men and girls were having their unique beauty.

Aria was welcomed by many of her classmates, The morgan family without Alan, The Miller, Wood, Parker, Gray, Stanley family, and other few families.

The surprising one for Aria was Grandfather Morgan to whom Aria ran over and gave him a hug ignoring all others.

"Look at my little girl all grown up to be beautiful. Didn't you miss me?"

"Of course I missed you. That's why I will not go anywhere again."

Aria left him and greeted all before Eva sent her to get fresh and change to a pretty dress rather than the boring sporty wear.
