On Beata's 20th birthday, everything went according to plan as they all went on a cruise together. River had been unhappy with this arrangement for several days, but when the day finally arrived, he couldn't help feeling happy.
After all, Beata was his little sister whom he had raised himself and his feelings for her were particularly deep.
Watching that little girl who had grown up so much that she was now of marriageable age filled River's heart with indescribable emotion. On one hand, he was truly moved by the fact that his sister had grown up so fast. On the other hand, he felt a bit reluctant to let her go.
Even though Beata had been with Yael since she was 18 years old and seemed more than ready to get married, River still felt like it was only today that he realized how much of a woman Beata really was becoming.
So River prepared some very generous gifts for Beata on this special occasion. This wasn't the first time either; ever since her 18th birthday when River transferred ownership of part of their family assets to her name alone, every year had brought new surprises for Beata.
She even began to feel like she didn't know what money really looked like anymore, because there always seemed to be an endless supply around her.
River took out a notebook and listed out each gift one by one until it became overwhelming for poor Beata. She hesitated before asking him nervously, "River, you don't want me anymore, do you?"
Why did she suddenly feel so uneasy?
"I will always be your brother," replied River reassuringly.
Beata sniffled before asking another question, "River, can you just tell me now what kind of surprise you have planned for me next year? I mean... how can you top this?"
"You're quite optimistic if you think I'm going to keep doing this every year. Spend it with Yael next year," laughed River teasingly as if feeling jealous.
Beata rolled her eyes at him playfully; clearly not taking him seriously at all!
