It had been months but the mother in law still hadn't told father in law about what happened to her. She found excuses to avoid spending time with her husband but he had enough. He knew everybody in the house already was aware of what had happened but they avoid or change the topic. Father in law called Mu zain and asked him to "come with him to his bedroom". They opened the door to the women reading Anna was sat on the sofa while mother in law was lying in bed even Mu xingyan was lying next to her grandmother reading one of fairy tale book. Father in law said to Mu zain "can you take Anna and Mu xingyan to your room I need to talk to your mother do not come into my room no matter" what". Anna looked at dad then mother she then looked at Mu zain. Mu zain went forward to his daughter lifted her up carried her he then held on to his wife's hand and took them out of the room.
After they left father in law shut and locked the door he turned around and looked at his wife she tried to hide in her book but he took the book of her and placed it on the side. He cupped her face with large hands and told her "we are not leaving this room until you tell me what happened okay" he had a smile on his face he went forward to places a kiss on her forehead but she jumped back. And then Mu Han looked at teary-eyed and said "sorry". Mu Dachi still smiled softly and asked:" how long have we been married for you know you can tell me anything I will not be angry ". Mu Han tried to calm her self she couldn't stop her self from trembling she felt what she feared is going to come to pass, Mu Dachi is going to ask her to leave she loved him so much she couldn't even contemplate her life without him. Mu Dachi asked again "what is it that you're afraid of you can't avoid me forever please let me share some of your pain have you forgotten your vows to me for better or worse we will share". Mu Han in her shaky voice " will you still love me knowing that I've been stained by other people "will you still love me knowing that other people have touched me " will you still love me knowing that I feel disgusted with my self every time I look in the mirror" will you still love me knowing that I was given a morning-after pill at my age" I don't want live if you aren't in my life ". The words were sharp and fast Mu Dachi felt like they were bullets piercing in his heart his women was hurting she was in pain she was breaking down in front of him he moved closer to hug her she tried to struggle out of his embrace but he held her tightly the more she struggled the tighter he held her until she stopped struggling he whispered in her ear" I not going anywhere I right here by your side my sweetness". When she heard him she started to wail like a baby in his arms he held her until she fell, asleep she felt that a great burden had been lifted off her when Mu Dachi comforted her she knew she hadn't lost him.
In Mu zain room Anna is pacing the room while Mu zain and Mu xingyan are watching her go back and forth. Mu xingyan finally spoke "Mummy my head hurts watching you will you please sit down". "You heard your daughter please come and sit down you won't see them till the morning they have a lot to sort out trust me they are fine my father loves her too much". Explained Mu zain. Anna looked at him she come close and sat down next to Mu zain "are you sure" Anna asked," yeah I am sure". Mu zain said pinching her nose "come on it's late let's get ready for bed" said Mu zain both girls looked at him they were not sleepy they both pouted at the same time he just laughed at the duo's antics "no pouting go and take a shower and get ready for bed I'll go and check on the boys". He left the room shaking his head "hey little blessing are we losing our touch your father didn't fall for it" asked Anna. Mu xingyan looked at her mother accusing "no Mummy you didn't do it properly". "Hey little blessing" retorted Anna. But it was too late Mu xingyan already in the bathroom. Anna followed the girls had fun splashing water at each other they finally appeared in the bedroom looking they were ready for a good night sleep Anna didn't pull out her bed so they lay on the Mu zains bed soon they both drifted off to sleep they spread themselves out like squid.
Mu zain checked on the boys to find Mu, shin telling the boys about his missions they were almost asleep he looked them then tucked them in placing a kiss on their forehead Mu xuiju looked at his dad and signed "is grandmother okay he looks sacred her eyes were sad her body was shaking as well did something bad happen to her what can we do to make her happy". Mu zain and Mu, shin looked at each other than at the boys they might be small but they were observant and they considered everyone's feelings. After the twins fell asleep the brothers walked out Mu zain looked at his brother and said you need to find a nice women and get married bro. Mu shinn replied laughing when did you get play mums role. Mu zain Chuckled Mu shinn had a sly look on his face well if you find a wife like my sister in law I'll think about it. Leaving Mu zain with a frown thus a smile "well she does have a twin so there is a possibility. Mu shinn shook his head he got served he ran away to his room. Mu zain chuckled to himself walked towards his room on entering he was greeted by his two beautiful girls they had the same sleeping posture like a pair of squids spread out. Before he went to the bathroom he took out his phone and took a picture then headed into the bathroom. When he came out he dried his hair with the towel then took his laptop went and sat on the couch and complete his work.
The next morning everyone gathered at the dining table they all were waiting for their parent to come down all eyes were on the staircase then the moment arrived they saw their parents walking down hand in hand there were whistles and cheers and claps from everyone. Mother in law felt so shy father in law just looked satisfied. They had a pleasant breakfast they laughed and joked. The children headed out with there grandfather Anna hadn't been to the office in while but secretly she loved being at home. Anna spent time with her new changed mother they practice martial arts baked sweets and amazing cuisine and the whole family and extended families came together for dinner it was noisy Anna loved it reminded her when her maternal family had dinner.

Auntie Izzy teaches them how to dance Anna favourite was the Latin style but she loved hip hop too then they lay on the ground staring at the stars sometimes would fall asleep while stargazing sixth Uncle Jack would carry her home. Other times grandma Isaac maarikia would tell them stories. They would all lean on each other and listen.
Present
......
Anna was snapped out of her reminiscing when her mother in law asked if she would like to attend a family wedding this coming weekend. Anna absolutely hated going to gatherings especially family they were in her mind people getting together to show off( I'm richer than you ) looking down on you. Mother "I don't want to go "pleaded Anna". Mother laughed you have to get used to this kind of events later you're going to represent the family. My yazhe mother was looking at the two and wondering how her sister had changed was she head on the head with something she was behaving so gently towards her daughter in law. After a lot of pleading Anna was excused of going to the wedding. Mother in law said "she would take the grandchildren" the children all looked up boys were saying they didn't want to go they still remember the last function they attended where the little girl from one of the prominent families tried to kiss Mu musin he pushed Mu xuiji forward he got a kiss on the lips bother boys shuddered at the memory but what happened with grandma they didn't have the heart to let her down so the didn't object. Mu xingyan was excited about going she wants to buy a new frock "Mummy, Grandma can we go shopping to buy a new frock" she looked with her big green eyes" she pulled such a cute face that nobody could say no. "Okay," Grandma said. It was decided that both the elder sisters would go shopping with Mu xingyan. When they were about to set of Mu Dachi decided he would tack along he was still worried about his wife he also persuaded Mu yale too join them they could pick out the twins suits.
