Two little angels
4 YEARS LATER…….
Peter was at the international airport. He was going to Paris for an important business meeting. He was waiting for his assistant. Though he was getting late his assistant was nowhere to be seen. His assistant Tom forgot an important file related to this meeting. When he was fuming with anger he saw Tom running towards him.
“Are you planning to find a new job? Cause I can see that you are becoming idle day by day. How could you forget such an important file and made me wait here in the airport for f***king 45 minutes?” Peter vented all his anger on Tom while Tom was just listening and looking at the floor.
Peter was yelling at Tom when he felt someone pulling his dress pant. He angrily looked down at the person who was interrupting him. He was about to shout at that person but stopped when he saw a cute baby girl about 3 or 4 years old.
“Uncle uncle….” called the girl.
Hearing her sweet voice Peter’s anger washed away in a second. He knelt in front of the girl and asked her with a sugar-coated voice, ” What do you want cutie pie?”
Hearing such a soft voice from Peter, Tom was astonished. He never heard Peter talk with anyone with this much sweetness. The little girl talked again with her sweet voice.
“Uncle, why are you scolding this uncle with a mustache? Can’t you see how afraid he is?”
“Sorry cutie pie I was angry with him. I won’t scold him again.” Peter said to her.
“Mommy always scolded me I feel so sad when mommy scolds me so don’t scold him. Also, you don’t look handsome when are angry,” she said again and Peter burst into laughter.
“What is your name sugar?” Peter asked her. The girl was about to say something when another voice came from her behind.
“How many times did mommy tell you not to talk with strangers?” a little boy about the same age as the girl said to her. Peter observed them both and they looked like twins. The boy was wearing a navy blue suit while the girl was wearing a cute pink dress.
“Brother, this uncle is so handsome and good looking how can he be a stranger?” asked the little girl to her brother.
“Silly girl a stranger is a stranger even if he is handsome or good-looking. When would you understand that?” the boy said angrily to the girl. Tom saw the similarities between the bad temper of the boy with his boss.
“Your brother is telling the right thing, dear. You should not talk with a stranger,” Peter told the little girl.
“Let’s go from here,” the boy pulled the little girl away from Peter. Peter felt a pang in his heart. He didn’t want to be apart from those two cute dolls.
“Where is your mommy? Do you need help to find her?” Peter asked again.
“No, we are not babies anymore. We know where our mommy is. Let’s go sister,” The little boy again urged the girl to go with him.
“Okay big guy take care,” Peter bid goodbye to the twins and they disappeared into the crowd.
After the babies disappeared Peter seemed to forget about his anger toward Tom. “Let’s go Tom we are getting late,” He said and started walking.
Tom was happy to see the good mood of his boss. He thanked God for sending two little angels to rescue him from his boss. He hurriedly follows Peter. Didn’t want to make him angry again.
On the other side of the airport…..
Lotus was searching for her two children. She just returned from Australia after four years with her twins. She was collecting the luggage when the two devils disappeared. She started panicking when she saw two babies running toward her. She crouched and hugged both of them.
“Where have you been? Mommy was so tensed for you. Didn’t I tell you to stay by me?” she asked them sternly.
“Mommy Jenny went to talk with a stranger and I went to get her back from there,” replied the little boy.
“No, mommy I was talking to a handsome uncle he was so good-looking. James just called him a stranger for no reason,” said the girl.
Lotus was speechless she knew her little Jenny was naïve and she loved to talk with good-looking men. And James was obedient and disciplined. They both were opposite from each other. She didn’t know how did they are so different instead of being twins.
“Okay forget it now let’s go. Nat is waiting for us outside of the airport,” Lotus told them and pulled them toward the exit.
Natasha was standing outside of the airport waiting for Lotus. She hadn’t seen her for almost a year. When Lotus moved to Australia she used to visit her every month until her delivery. After the birth of her Godchildren, she used to visit them every 2 months. But last year she got married and didn’t get a chance to visit them as she got busy with her new life.
Natasha checked the time one last time. It’s been one hour since they landed but why weren’t they come out? She was about to call Lotus when she heard two children calling her from behind. She looked behind her and saw two little angels running toward her.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Nat we missed you,” James and Jenny said in unison as they saw Natasha. Natasha went on her knee and hugged the two little godchildren of hers.
“My penguins I missed you too,” Natasha said to them while kissing their face.
“Hey, Nat,” Lotus waved at Natasha. Nat stood up and hugged her. They both got emotional meeting each other after a year.
“How is Michael? Why didn’t you bring him with you?” Lotus asked.
“He had an important meeting. He will join us at dinner,” Nat replied.
After their little get-together, they walked to Natasha’s car and loaded the bags in the trunk then hopped on it.
Lotus P. O. V
I came back to my home town after 4 long years. I left for Australia when I was 6 months pregnant. Natasha helped me a lot that time to settle down there in Australia. She even lent me a huge amount of money to start my architectural firm. I worked hard and after one year I managed to repay her loan but she didn’t take back the money instead she opened a joint account with my children and kept the money there. I refused her a lot but she said it was her right as their godmother so I accepted that. After 4 years of hardship now I am a well-known architect in the business world. My company is also famous for designing many important buildings. I returned to my birthplace to get even with those people who hurt me 4 years ago. I have a perfect plan for that.
I looked outside the window I always loved watching tall buildings. We were heading to Nat’s place from there we will move to our new villa. Nat has become an essential part of our life. I looked in the back seat. My children were playing there on their baby seats. I never regretted having them. They have been my motivation always to go ahead in life. I will be grateful to Natasha my whole life for convincing me to change my decision. What she said was true. My babies are my only family for the last four years.
We reached in front of Natasha’s house. Nat lives here with her husband. I met him on their wedding day. He is a wonderful person just like Nat. He is a businessman and loves Nat so much. We entered the house.
“I have already prepared your room. You can rest for a while I will call you when it will be time for dinner,” said Nat. I just nodded to her and followed her upstairs. After reaching the room, I helped James and Jenny to change their clothes. Soon they fell asleep as they were tired due to all the traveling. After putting a blanket over them I took a shower and went downstairs to look for Nat. I saw her sitting on the couch and checking her emails from the hospital. I sat down with her. When she felt me beside her she put the phone aside and looked into my eyes.
“Are you sure Lo that you are ready for revenge?” she asked me.
“Yes, Nat I am more than ready. I don’t want my children to understand anything. That’s why I want to finish everything before they can understand what is happening,” I told her the main reason.
“So, when are you going to make the first move?” she asked me.
“I am planning to make the first move tomorrow,” I said with a mysterious grin.
“What are you planning to do?” She asked me to describe my plan.
“I am meeting my dad and George tomorrow about a government project,” I told her the details of the project.
“Whoa, girl you have become so fierce,” she praised me.
Third Person P. O. V
Natasha and Lotus were talking when Michael came. They greeted each other and then started talking about business. It was 7 in the evening when they finished their dinner with the babies.
The next day…………
Lotus woke up early in the morning. She went to the washroom and finished her morning routine. She took a bath and came out of the washroom. She went to the balcony. She needed a cup of coffee but didn’t go down as it was very early. She didn’t want to disturb anyone in the house. Today is a very busy day for her. She has a meeting with Army officers about a new compartment-building compound for staff and then she has to move to her new villa. Nat wants her to live a few more days but Lotus didn’t want to hamper her daily life so she is moving today. All her housemaids and staff had been moved there yesterday.
Lotus was thinking about all the possibilities of the meeting when two small hands wrapped her legs from behind. Lotus looked at the little boy who was looking at her with a grin. She picked him up and pecked his cheek.
“What happened my boy? Why are you up so early?” asked Lotus.
“I don’t feel sleepy Mommy. I want to go to our own home,” replied James.
“We will be going home today. Your Nanny had already moved there but first, mommy has some work to do. You will be a good boy and take care of your sister till then and don’t disturb Nat. Okay, big boy?” Lotus told her little boy. James is fifteen minutes older than Jenny and he is more mature so Lotus can always trust him with his sister. She knows how much the twins love each other.
After helping in freshen up her twins Lotus went down. She saw Nat instructing the cook about the breakfast menu. When she saw Lotus her eyes beamed with happiness.
“You are still an early bird,” commented Nat.
“What can I do? You know you should never change the good habits,” stated Lotus.
“Why didn’t you call me? We could have morning coffee together,” Nat said to her.
“I know how busy you and Michael are. You can’t even make time for each other except for the nighttime. So I didn’t want to spoil your private time,” replied Lotus.
“Okay now let’s go the breakfast is ready and where are the kids?” asked Nat
“They will be down in five minutes; they are a bit of a latecomer like their godmother,” said Lotus and the ladies burst into laughter.
“After breakfast, I will go to the meeting. Please look after them for me as this place is totally new for them,” Lotus requested Natasha and she nodded in agreement.
AT ARMY HEADQUARTER…..
Colonel Kent was waiting in a meeting room with George. The Government wants to build new officers’ quarters so they declared the project a few months ago and J&J architecture won the bid. They are currently waiting for the owner of the company to discuss the details. They heard some commotion outside and fixed their eyes on the door of the conference room and the person who entered through that door was beyond their imagination.
“Lotus” mumbled Mr. Kent and George was speechless seeing her in professional attire.
“Good morning Officers,” said Lotus with a smile.
