Recognized as the Owner of the Door

Secret Door Of The Austin's Family ()(ver.2)

Xavier stands up and stretches his body.

Then he smiles and look at his two siblings looking at him strangely.

"Stay here. I will be back." He said and pressed his palm on the wall creating the same strange door that suddenly disappear after Xavier and his father crosses.

Shocked.

Cheska scaredly move away while Harvey grabs him and pull him back.

"Eh?" Xavier was dragged back.

He stares at Harvey.

He is amazed how strong he is.

Harvey heave a relieve sigh and pulls him farther away from the door.

"Brother?" He looks at his second brother.

"It's fine. I summoned it."

"Summoned?" Harvey is confuse.

Xavier shows him his palm and there's the same pattern in the door.

"I am recognized as the doors owner and can travel to both worlds. There is a catch that whatever comes here can't be bring back to the other world. In the bright side,I can bring things from the other side to this world." He said with a smile.

Harvey looks at Cheska and Cheska looks at them.

"You will come back?" Cheska asks.

"Of course. While I am unconscious the property was passed down to me and the knowledge to use it included. I can safely travel through world's without paying any price."

"How sure are you?" Harvey asks.

Xavier smiles.

"Very sure." He waves his hand. "I'll be back in a bit so you don't have to worry." He said and grins.

The door is still intact after Xavier pass through the door.

The two siblings are holding hands in fear that He will never be back.

"Second brother, I am scared." Cheska said.

"It'll be fine. Third brother doesn't look like someone who will do things he is not sure of."

Harvey said convincing himself too.

Xavier went home and find the chickens on the cages he bought as a gift but forgot to grab on it when he actually crossed.

He smiles and throws the chickens cages inside the door and continue to rummage in the fridge.

He gets a huge bag and put all the snacks he can find inside and then get the ice cream and the meat. His father has unlimited stock of seasonal vegetables so he rarely bought it.

After that he has two large bags when he crosses.

He saw Cheska and Harvey talking about the chickens.

"I'm back."

He said wryly.

"Third brother!" Cheska excitedly let go of the cage and walk next to him.

The strange door disappear behind him.

"It disappear. Can you still go back to the other side now that it is gone?" Cheska asks.

"I can. I just have to create the door to the other side. Here help me prepare lunch so when they return we can all eat together."

"I will cook." Cheska said.

"It's fine. Let your third brother show off a little." He said.

"You can cook brother?" Cheska is shocked.

"Who else do you think cook in the house when Father is working in his field. He teaches me the basic since I am 9 years old. Sit back and let me do it."

"Okay. Show me." Cheska said.

"You...How can you let him cook?" Harvey said.

"It's fine. I insist." Then he paused and stares at the fire woods.

"Wait here. I will show you a magical tool." He said and frown.

It's been who-knows-when since he last used a firewood to cook food. He is showing off right now. He needs to get that gas tank and the stove in order to cook a decent meal.

After going back from taking the stove and gas tank from the other side. He found his two siblings looking at the cakes and sweets he gave them to eat before he left still untouched.

"You don't like the taste?" He asks.

"Its cold. I am scared." Cheska said.

Harvey helps him carry his load so he went and open the cover of the sliced cake then drove it to Cheska's mouth.

The startled Cheska stiffened only in a second. When her mouth tasted that sweet and fluffy thing. She ate it without much more persuading.

Harvey laughs and also ate that small piece of sweet and also become engrossed.

Xavier thinks it is funny so he stop and watch them but then get to work when he become satisfied.

Meat dishes are always a sure win unless you are offering it to vegetarian, people on a diet and elderly people so it is his sure to 'show off' main course.

Then he stir fry vegetables and make a vegetable soup.

Prepare the rice and then they all wait for the elderly.

Decides that the table is too shabby.

He went to get his father's dinning table at home and the chairs.

Now he knows why exactly his father bought a dinning table so big with an identical chairs for 6 people.

He felt warm inside thinking all these things that he often taken for granted was actually a sign of his father's love and affection.

With Harvey's help. They set up the table and all his father's priced plates he keeps in his cabinet.

"Dad always collect 6 identical plates and keep them in his cabinets not letting me eat on them. I thought it was strange back then. Now...I realized that those are plates he wants us to use to eat together as a family."

Cheska and Harvey smile at those plates.

Cheska wipes her eyes and then praised the plates

"This looks expensive. I never seen such high quality plates. Dad must spend too much buying them." She said.

"Yeah. They are a bit expensive. Dad rarely bought things. When he fancy something it is better to buy what he wants." Xavier sighs.

"That is good." Harvey said. "It seems you two at least lives a better life. We are always worried if you two are alright and if you two are safe. Now, I am glad that the door ate you two. Hahah." Harvey said laughing.

Those are words that made Xavier respects Harvey even more.

His second brother is just thinking about their well being and not blaming him for having a better life in the other side. Even happily said that the separation is good as long as they lived alright.

"Brother, can you bring me to the other side too?"

"Unfortunately, I can't. Like I said, I can't bring back anything from this side to the other side. But the good thing is I can brought anything from the other side. If I can bring you all to the other side. You will all live better there. There's law and equality. At least not as badly as this place. And you don't have to marry your sister to anyone she doesn't like. Also Cheska can marry even if she is 30 or 40, how much old she wants."

Cheska laughs.

"What nonsense! Third brother, you are so full of craziness."

"I am not. I have a friend who is 35 and men are lining up to marry her but she refused and turn them down saying she is too young to be tied in a man who only likes her status and her body."

Cheska covers her ears

"Your friend is so vulgar!"
