Chapter 229

She couldn't find him anywhere. She looked at the entrance since Mathew mentioned that he should be here. A few folks entered through the door, someone with a boy in his arms, a young couple and a couple of heavy set guys. Right behind them was Sara, this time talking to someone next to her and not on the phone. Since Sara was there, she excused herself and walked towards the table. If she hadn't seen him with Sara she wouldn't have recognized him after all these years. It was John, holding their son talking to Sara. He looked very different, still handsome, but unbelievably changed. He was not the well fit, handsome guy with great hair anymore. He was partially bald, with hair just near his ears and his back leaving a smooth shining bald head, chubby cheeks which made his face look more round. He looked at least thirty pounds heavier than she saw him last time with a bulging midsection. If it were a women one could guess her to be five months pregnant!

She couldn't hide her shock and her eyes clearly expressed them. She was speechless for more than a minute. The little kid was the one who broke the silence by asking if she were his mom's friend. He looked more like his mom but quiet attached to his dad. She smiled and they all took a seat and Sara introduced their son as Connor. He was so restless and in matter of minutes he was moving around trying to find something to play with. One he heard the music going on he wanted to go check it out and Sara volunteered to take him giving some time for John and her to catch up on things. She really didn't know where to start. Even thought Sara had told her how they met and got married she was still surprised to see the two of them together and never less how much he looked different. She was quiet happy to meet both of them, she had not expected and it was a surprise for her.

They spoke about their school days and laughed about all the detentions and how much fun they had. After a little while Sara and Connor joined them as he was starting to feel hungry. The evening had turned out to be wonderful compared to what she had thought it would be. But they had to leave a little while after that since Connor had some food allergies and they wanted to head back home. She got up and walked towards the band and stood at the back and a group just finished playing and they announced the next groups name. They all walked up the stage and she saw Mathew's cousin and looked around searching for Akshar.
