The cold wind blows my hair after I get out of the car. I looked all around the place. You will see a few cars outside. I took a deep breath before going inside the direction where the two new arrivals were waiting.
Few steps and I saw the man I saw six years ago hiding behind the green plant while eating his lunch. I saw how the man stood up straight when he saw me. All I can say is that, the young boy I met years ago is already a grown up man now.
He approached a girl and spoke to her. He pointed my direction causing the girl to look at my direction. I saw how her mouth parted as her eyes widened. Wasting no time, he quickly ran towards me.
"Sister!" Lana shouted while running excitedly towards me. I saw how her tears slowly fell down to her cheeks.
I laughed a bit while spreading my arms widely, ready to hug the girl who hated me once.
Lana hugged me tightly while crying in my shoulder. I heard her soft sobs while hugging me. How I miss this little girl so much. My bad she's not a little girl anymore. She's a grown up lady now.
"I miss you so much." She mumbled while hugging me tightly.
"I miss you more Caelana." I whispered while caressing her back.
She moved a little away from me and looked at my face.
"Really? You missed me too?" She asked amazed. I nodded my head and stroked her hair. Her lips stretch for a happy smile.
Lana looked at me from head to toe. She looked so amazed while looking at me.
"It's like you never gave birth to twins, Sister. Nothing has changed in your body. You're still very sexy." She said amazed while staring into my eyes. I laughed and pinched her nose.
"You really are a joker." I laughed heartily.
Lana giggled and hugged me tightly again "I missed you so much." she whispered in my ears. My heart swelled at her words. I hope your brother missed me too.
Four years ago after I watched Rainer's graduation ceremony I quickly left. Because if I can't control myself during those times I'm sure I'll show up to him, then I'll hug him very tight and tell him how proud I am to him. So before I could do those things I quickly left.
But I didn't expect that there's someone who's following me. An angry and crying girl called my name. I saw how hate consumed her whole being while she was looking at me. She said hurtful things to me. That girl was crying asking me why I left her brother. She asked why did I break her brother's heart.
He asked me why I was watching the person I hurt. Why I've hurt his brother. Why did I suddenly leave without a word that she was also sad.
Lana asked me those many questions. I'm so stunned to speak at that time. I didn't expect her to follow me. I just laughed while looking at her crying and I couldn't stop crying and tell her the truth.
I know that Lana trusts me a lot. She's a bright kid. I tried explaining my side to her afraid that she would tell Rainer that I came back to see his graduation ceremony. At first she didn't understand me. It took a long time before she believed in me. She didn't like what I did but when I told him what I did. She gradually understood me.
Lana keep it a secret. I also told her that I have twins a girl and a boy. That she's an Aunt already. Shocked was written on her face but the amazement was more. She never expected to become an Aunt at such a young age.
Because she was too young then, I made her understand more about the reason why I left. I did not give up to make her understand the reasons when I left.
I'm a little bit sad for her, she was lying in front of her brother just to save my ass. I don't even know who his sibling is. Because he seems to favor me more. If Lana didn't cooperate with me I'm so sure that Rainer already knows that we had a child.
I'm relieved that this girl shut her mouth for years just to keep my secret.
I smiled when I saw Keegan standing near me. He changed a lot. Especially his physical appearance.
"Keegan don't you not missed me anymore?" I asked laughingly. Lana released from our hug and looked at Keegan laughing.
"Brother Alister, don't you missed Ate too? You're just pretending eh?," Lana teased
Alister shyly looked at me and then he smiled sincerely.
"I also missed you Queen Talliah." He uttered with his baritone voice. Even his voice changed a lot.
Alister Keegan is still shy towards me. He doesn't use glasses like he used to. Keegan is a police officer now. He knows that I am in this island during my pregnancy. I'm also grateful for him. Keegan bacame my buddy. Sad smile crept on my lips when Jazzy crossed my mind. I missed her so much.
They said there are no secrets that time does not reveal. Six years must be enough for keeping my children away from their father. I can understand Rainer's anger if he ever finds out about the twins. I have no plans to hide the twins from her for the rest of my life.
I'm just looking for a right time when I can tell the truth. I don't want to surprise him, I want to take everything slowly. My plans already plotted inside my head. The only thing missing is courage.
I was staring at the dark sky full of stars after sipping my wine. Am I ready to see my man again after six years? Just thinking about it makes me want to cry with joy. I tilted my head to the side when I felt someone's presence beside me.
I saw Lana smiling while looking up at the dark sky full of stars.
"You also missed him so much right?" she asked without looking at me. Even if she didn't say the name I knew who she was talking about.
"So damn much," I whispered "Every second of my life I missed your brother so much. there's no night I didn't think of him." I whispered while looking at the sky full of stars twinkling in the middle of the darkness.
"You sacrificed a lot for him Sister. Brother is successful now. You don't have to worry. Six years is enough and besides, my nephews are looking for him." Lana uttered softly. She looked in my direction so I met her gaze.
"We can't hide them from Kuya forever and I know you know that. It's not just them that's hurting but also yourself." She muttered while looking at my eyes.
Lana's right. While my twins are hurting I'm hurting inside too. I should be brave and go back to fix us.
"I know that in the years that have passed you have gone through a lot of pain. If Brother will be the medicine to relieve all of these. I suggest you to go back."
There are also many reasons why I find it difficult to come back. I have a hard time accepting the events in my life in recent years. But maybe this is the right time to face the truth. I have to go through pain before I can touch true happiness.
If coming back will be the reason to hold my happiness I would gladly go back.
"Aren't you afraid of your Big Brother? You lied to him. He hates liars so much." I stared at Lana to see her reaction.
She just shrugged her shoulder and smiled at me.
"I'm a little bit scared but I'm more afraid of you." She stated and laughed.
I smirked at her remark. Why is she afraid of me? I don't eat people.
"I can face Brother Rainer anger towards me if ever he will know that I know where you are. But I don't feel sorry because I know you did this hiding thing for his sake. You think him first before yourself Sister. That's why I really like and look up to you. You're so brave to face everything on your own."
I was just listening to the words coming out of his mouth. Am I really brave? Or I'm just being brave so they won't see that I'm hurting too.
"You're so selfless for the past years, it's okay to be selfless for your love but please this time be selfish. I really admire you for being a strong woman. I'm so sorry if I hated you for leaving my brother behind. I'm sorry if I threw hurtful words towards you. Sister, I'm really really sorry." Lana held my hand tightly while crying in front of me.
"I promise to be at your back always. I will accompany you to face Kuya. I will accompany you to take a step to replace him again. I'm just here for you, Kuya Alister and I and the twins. I know Kuya loves you too. Fighting sister! I'm always at your back." She smiled while brushing off her tears.
I really appreciate this girl so much. She has a purest heart just like her brother.
"Come here give me a hug." I said laughing a bit. She quickly come to me and hugged me back tightly.
"I'm not mad at you for hating me. Your feelings are understandable because of what I've done. You love your brother that's why your mad at me for leaving him. I'm so thankful because you stay by my side. Keeping a secret from your family is not easy. But you did it for years to protect me."
"I owe you a lot. I really appreciate your help. I promise to be brave again. Thank you for trusting me. I promise I'll come back and be brave enough to face him." I whispered.
I've decided to go back. I've decided to face him. For my children and also for myself. I will try my luck to bring him back in my life. please baby don't be so harsh on me and please hear my reasons.
After talking with Lana, I ordered her to sleep. I made him cry a lot today. Her whole family doesn't know that she would be here in this island. She just said that she will bond with her friends one week.
Lana became a liar because of me. And I'm the one to blame.
I slowly closed the door of Caelliah's room. I walked towards her bed only to see them peacefully sleeping. Tallan and Caelliah have different rooms but she likes Tallan to sleep beside her.
I laughed a bit when I saw Caelliah parted lips while snoring cutely while my Tallan was sleeping handsomely beside her.
They are a sight to behold. They are the treasure that I can't begrudge from Rainer. Even if he doesn't want to have a child yet he has the right to know about our twins.
I caressed Tallan cheeks using my right palm while I used my left palm to caress Caelliah's cheeks. I promise
To bring your Dadda here and I promise that you will meet him after years of waiting. Wish me luck sweeties.
