503 Words
Alice Louie and her brother Adam Louie became orphans at an early age. They were then brought up by their aunt Gracie Walker who was their father's only sister. Gracie Walker was married to George Walker but they never had kids. Gracie moved to the US from Australia after her marriage. After several years of marriage they stopped hoping for a child. George's elder brother Gregory and his wife Margaret had a son whom George and Gracie loved like their child. Gracie’s only relatives were her brother Andrew and his wife who died in an accident leaving their two little ones alone. So, Gracie returned back to Australia while her husband George stayed back in the US. During vacations either Gracie took Alice and Adam to the US or George came to visit them in Australia. He often brought his brother's son Thomas when he visited Australia. Gradually Thomas fell in love with Alice but Alice was reluctant to accept his love. Sudden death of Aunt Gracie broke Alice's and Adam's hearts. Thomas and his parents came to Australia and invited Alice and Adam to the US. At that time Adam was doing his graduation and so he couldn't accept their offer. Instead he requested to take Alice with them to the US. Alice was still reluctant and that's when Thomas proposed to her in front of everyone. When Alice saw that everyone including Thomas's parents were happy, she accepted the proposal. Thomas and his parents returned back to the US to make arrangements for the wedding. The wedding was fixed after a year because Thomas was going abroad for his higher studies. In that one year Alice did a chef course and learned to make many types of cuisines. A year later Alice and Adam went to the US for the wedding. The Walker family had made all the arrangements for the wedding. Alice and Thomas got married in a grand ceremony.  A year after Alice’s marriage, her brother Adam got married to his girlfriend Jasmine who was a Philippine. Even after marriage Alice didn't stop her passion for cooking. In that big mansion with a dozen maids, Alice never allowed anyone else to cook for her family. Two years later Alice and Thomas got blessed with a baby girl. They named her as Alinda. Adam too was blessed with triplets at the same time when Alice got Alinda. When Alinda became three year old, they had another child and this time it was a son. They named him Toby. Their happiness had no boundaries but it didn't last long. Thomas's parents died in a car crash and the whole family was gloomed. Their sadness was doubled when Adam was diagnosed with a brain tumor and passed away within a few months. Alice and Thomas just started reviving out of their sorrows when more tragedy’s knocked at their door. Will the Walker family be able to come out of their bad times or will it be the end of the Walker family?
