Chapter 6 A message

For the rest of that day, Ruby, her mother and brother were unhappy. They never expected that things would end that way or that Camille would one day leave them without a genuine reason for doing that.

Four years later !

Camille Christopher walked out of the airport in a blue suit and pants. She wore dark glasses and her hair flew as the breeze blew.

She held her kids, each on each hand and looked around her. The city is still as busy and bustling as it was four years ago just like she left .

The people were the same and the climatic condition had never changed as well. But there was only one thing that had changed her personality.

She's taken life and accepted what it had given her. She learnt to be strong and determined. She's become strong and wiser than she was four years ago.

Her boys were looking so adorable. She wondered who their father was. The man must have been a very handsome dude who was capable of making heads turn in his direction.

Other passengers kept staring at the two boys and many touched their chin. Some blew kisses and others just waved at them with smiles.

Camille liked styling their hair to the boys cut types and it makes them look charming and domineering. They have thin lips and a full shaped round forehead.

They have a V-shaped jaw line with a medium and pointed nose. Their eyes are big and they have fair skin.

Camille often wonders how handsome her boys are. She would look out to see if perhaps she found someone who has a similar feature like her boys. Such a person might be their father or relative.

"Mum, this is our city?" Bruce Christopher asked. He is the eldest of the twins and sometimes behaves as the eldest to his identical Bryce Christopher.

"Yes sweetie. We'll be home soon". Camille assured as she hailed a taxi and got their luggage inside.

She gave the taxi driver the address to Ruby's mother's apartment. She had left without a giving a genuine reason, she would obviously have to go there first before getting her own accommodations.

Ruby soon heard a car horn stop in front of her home. She peeped a out to see who the person was and only saw a handsome boy step out of the car.

She couldn't help but admire how handsome the fellow was. Next another boy looking like the first that alighted previously. She squinted and became serious staring outside the window.

Her mother noticed her seriousness and asked that she should stop poking her nose where it didn't belong. She can go out and see who is arriving.

They lived with neighbors , it could be anyone of them that has a guest. But suddenly, Ruby jumped and screamed, "Camille Christopher".

Ruby's mother and brother rushed forward and peeped put too. They saw Camille and quickly opened the door. When they saw Camille's pay the taxi man and turned to face her friends, she threw her herself into Ruby's mother's arms.

"I missed you Aunt" Camille said and her eyes became teary. Ruby's mother held her in a hg for a long time during which Ruby went to the quietly standing boys and led them.

"Are you Miss Ruby ?"; Bryce asked , looking forward to meeting his mum's best friend.

Ruby nodded her head and said yes. Camille turned and said " There's a lot to catch up on". She watched as Ruby carried Bruce on her shoulders and her brother carried Bryce on his.

She dragged a few luggage but Ruby's mother said her son would return to take them in. It was a happy reunion to be with Ruby and her family again.

The twins were embraced by Ruby's mother. She couldn't express her happiness when she was seeing Camille after a few years.

"Where have you been?" Ruby asked. Camille left and said she was going away to become a stronger woman. She needed space and Ruby shouldn't be worried about her.

"I went to Canada. I'm sorry Ruby for leaving the way I did. I couldn't think of a better alternative and telling you what was happening, you and aunty might not want me to leave, that's why I left when no one was at home so no one could stop me "; Camille apologized.

They didn't ask her any more questions. The Kids were here and they needed to apply caution. Camille settled into the guest room from where she had been staying before she travelled and soon Ruby's mother prepared dinner for them.

After their breakfast, Camille read night stories for the kids while Ruby stayed and watched her sing the kids to sleep. She smiled, her friend has become a mother.

Camille saw her friend smiling and looking at the kids then she smiled too. Seeing people looking at the boy's and smiling has not been new to her anymore.

When they were babies, she can't remember the number of times people plead that she let them carry them. Many gave them gifts, money and bought them clothes. She knows those boys are cute and anyone who sees them start to like them a lot.

"I know they are your sons without being told. Was it that incident that led to their pregnancy?" Ruby asked.

Camille nodded and stood up pulling Ruby along with her to the sitting room. She was going to tell everyone how it went with her for the past four years
