Chapter 47

A few weeks later, I finished my tasks and finished my work. We will only be here for a week so I will just dedicate it to the children. I carefully left my bed because the two were still asleep. I was no longer able to take care of it, it was enough to remove the thingy from my eye because I had been awake for a while, I was just lazy to get up. It’s always like that. I don’t have to cook breakfast anymore because Lana has already prepared it. It’s just amazing because it leaves early and comes home late. She wasn’t like that then.

I don’t know if I was just dreaming last night but based on my dream my kids are playing even at dawn, it seems to be true. I thought I was done picking up the clutter I even noticed what was under the bed. It seems to be hiding again. It was a pink cloth, it was just small and that was her hat when she was a baby.

Inah kept telling me that she would show it to her father when they met. I took that. But the large suitcases we had also carried before quickly caught my attention. I sat up slightly and stared at my children sleeping in bed, I had better take care of them while they sleep. No one will reprimand. I bent down carefully to retrieve a black suitcase. This is what I used when we flew here. Maybe I can only put clothes on this one. I decided to take some of my clothes from the cabinet, maybe I’ll just put a little because I still have clothes in the mansion, I hope they still fit me.

After I put mine on I put on all the twin clothes. I only left two of their clothes because that was what they would use for the rest of the day. One suitcase was just right, it was all over but they were still asleep. I just put that suitcase aside and left the room. I was almost attacked because of a woman standing on the balcony while cleaning her nails. It frowned at me.

“I’m nervous about you!” I shouted softly.

It left the incline and walked towards me. “What’s wrong with you? It’s just crazy, wake up you two. I’m back, you still haven’t eaten what I cooked,” she said and then sat down on the sofa opposite the room.

I didn’t answer her. I left in front of her and just went to the kitchen. I immediately took something to drink so that my throat would be completely dry.

“I’ve packed,” I said weakly then drank again.

I waited a few minutes but no one answered. It’s just surprising because she must have shouted or maybe it rained a lot of questions. But when I got to the living room she was no longer there. Maybe it’s back in the room, because based on how she looked before, she’s still wearing work clothes. I just let her go, it would be better if I just woke up the two kids so they could eat and tell them what would happen.

I was just about to enter the room when I heard a loud crash onother room. I hurried to Lana’s room because it was definitely from there. But I was even more nervous because in the small opening of the door the chair fell down there and there was, oh my god! W-Why is there a rope?

“L-Lan—” I could not continue what I was saying because of what I saw.

The clothes were scattered and I noticed a suitcase on its bed with clothes already on.

“Damn! What are you doing? What’s wrong with you?” mixed emotions when I say this.

I don’t know if I’ll be shocked or annoyed to be happy. Astonished it turned to me but still continued to remove the hanger on its clothes.

“Hey! What do you think?” Its masculine eye.

“What’s that? Why are you packing?” I asked then closed the door.

“Why? You’re going to leave me here alone? You can’t! If you go home with your children, I’ll go home too. I don’t want to be left here,” she said as she sat up in bed.

Her closet is empty. Really stupid.

“Have you been stupid? How’s your job, Lana? Your career is going well here,” I said annoyed while staring at what she was doing.

“Hey, what? I don’t want to. Maybe you forgot I just brought you here because maybe later what will happen to you and the kids.”

“Your job?”

“I’m going to resign,” it said bluntly. “I want to go home too and see my parents, Veron,” she said softly as she continued to fold the dress.

I stumbled. Its tone is sad. I couldn’t help but feel guilty and it was as if she was just putting up with it to be with me. That’s right Nikasha, I’m selfish. It stopped folding, maybe she noticed my silence. It frowned at me, I heard its sigh.

“Oh? Why do you look like that? How many times can I tell you that I’m fine? I want to be with you here,” she said as if comforting me. I knew she wasn’t well. I knew her, she couldn’t afford not to have the parent by her side, but because of my situation, she was forced to do that.

“S-Sorry,” I whispered.

“I don’t accept your apology. It’s not your fault, you’re just annoying, but I know you’ve changed, I really hope so,” she said with a man’s eyes and then returned to packing.

I just stared at what she was doing. It barely stood up and there was what looked like a brown envelope in her closet. I noticed there her passport and the other papers she had just tossed on top of her suitcase.

“Grow up Veron! You really won’t be happy if you always blame yourself for everything. It’s my choice to come with you, you have nothing to do with it,” she said with a smile then closed the suitcase.

“I’ve talked to Mom and Dad, I’ve told them all the truth about my involvement. It’s just jealous because you’re the one who greeted your children and not me, see? They want to see you together with your kids, you don’t want that , they play with their cousin there?” laughing it says referring to Zafia’s son.

She left me in her room. In a short time, her belongings were arranged immediately, her closet was very shabby, if only her bags and shoes were left. I went out of her room, I found my children holding her in both hands. Opposite Lana’s room is the kitchen that looks like an alley.

Someone pointed out what Van above, food maybe that. I just let them do what they do because they haven’t been looking for me that much yet. I decided to enter the room and decided to lock it so they wouldn’t hear anything. Without hesitation I picked up the cellphone and sat on the bed. I quickly searched for my uncle’s number. Even though I felt nervous, I tried to make everything normal, especially the tone of my speech. But I heard a few rings and no one answered, so I tried again, waiting to see if he would answer, but as before, uncle did not answer.

I just thought he might be at work, but it’s still early so he should just be in the mansion. I decided to just call one of my twins, the first thing that popped up to me was Nikasha’s number. Even though I want to talk to her but I’m not ready, I’m afraid of what she says because I feel, she’s slapping me with the truth and what happened before. There’s only one I can call, I’m still not sure if he’ll answer. I carefully pressed the cell phone to my ear, closing my eyes to listen to its every sound.

But that’s how nervous I was when I heard a voice on the other line. Various voices suddenly fell silent, I do not know where she is. I smiled even though I was nervous.

“Z-Zeren,” I muttered.

[Oh! God! Veron?! Is that you? Answer me immediately, please,] she said in a hurry so I stood up.

“Yes, yes, it’s me,” I said calmly as I looked at the door.

[Where have you been? We can’t communicate with you in the past two years, are you mad? A-Are you okay? Are we still okay? You know what, uncle is always worrying about your condition there, we want to see your kids. I missed you, we’re sorry for didn’t understand your situation before, we don’t know what happened … I’m sorry.]

I couldn’t stop myself from crying especially when I heard my twin’s voice, she said. I want to see them too.

“A-Are you at the mansion?” I sobbed uncontrollably.

I want to end this conversation because I can’t. The heavier that.

[Y-Yes, they’re all here. They hear you] she said softly as if she would still be hesitant if she would tell the truth.

I nodded softly while holding my own lips, I leaned on the balcony while staring intently at the suitcase.

“Please tell them, don’t worry. We’re okay. We’re going back there, in Mansion.”
