Betty held on to Noah as she wanted to run away so fast from Nix. But her legs couldn't even move and inch.
"Daddy this is my new friend Noah" Sajan spoke up.
Sajan had gotten lost in the crowds and tried to find his way back to his dad and in the process he met Noah.
"Am Niah his twin sister" Niah chipped in excitedly.
Betty gaze was still fixed on Nix who held hers too. He was so lost in her eyes that he didn't even hear what the little girl had said.
"Are they your children?" he asked Betty breaking the silence
"Yes" she said curtly and took Noah and Niah's arm and left.
"Are we going home?" Niah asked
Betty nodded
"But i haven't tried that" Niah sobbed pointing at the Ferris wheel
She looked at Noah who also agreed with hid sister.
"Okay lets go"
Niah smiled widely
She gave them her tickets
"Be careful Niah" Betty retorted trying to get a hold of Niah.
When she had sat them down and fasted their seat beats she sighed in relief. She saw Nix come up to where they sat and he sat at the edge while Sajan sat with Noah and Niah.
"Not again" she patted her head with her palms.
The children exclaimed excitedly when the wheel began to move. They laughed and chatted about alot of things but Betty's mind was fixed on Nix. She threw a lot of questions to herself on why he was here
She stole a glance at him. He seemed calm and cool. He didn't even bother to look or start a conversation with her. He just scrolled through his phone without a car in the world.
Niah told Sajan all about her and her brother and that Betty wasn't actually their mother but they took her as their big sister. Nix heard the discussion going on between the children but didn't react.
The ride came to an end and the children came down with nix behind them. Betty came down following Nix behind. He slowed down his steps and they both walked behind the children. They were like a perfect family with the twins chatting excitedly in front of them and them selves as parents even though their facial expression were unreadable
"Noah...Niah....lets go home its getting late"
The children paused and looked at Betty
"Can't we just stay a little longer?" Niah begged
"No" Betty retorted she was already feeling very uncomfortable with nix being around. Her phone rang and she looked at the children before picking her call. It was ma Sandy
"Yes ma.....".
"Really....." her face frowned
"No thank you alot" and she cut the phone.
"What's wrong?" Niah asked
"Ma sandy said i could take you both home for the night"
"Can we spend it at Sajan's place!" Noah spoke up this time
"Daddy can they?" Sajan asked his father who hasn't said anything
Nix looked at Betty and then to the children
"Do you want them to stay?"
Betty looked at the twins...
"Yes they can" she said
"You're coming with us right?" Niah asked
"I can't"
"I can't take care of them alone...you're coming with us" Nix spoke and left with the children to his car.
Betty palmed her self she picked up her phone and called Mayan.
"Betty....are you alright?"
"Yes Mayan....I won't be coming home tonight"
"Why?".
"Something came up....but I'll be back tomorrow morning" she said and cut the line
Mayan felt his blood boil. There had a be a reason why she couldn't come back home and he hoped it wasn't what he thought.
Betty thought of a way to escape from nix.
"I don't have any dresses...."
"We can go shopping on our way home" Nix cut her off. She fell silent and went inside the car.
She sat besides Nix who took the wheels while the children sat behind them.
"We make such a perfect family right?" Niah Asked Betty but she pretended not to hear anything
Nix stopped by a nearby Boutique to get Betty some nice dresses.
"Wait here" he told her and left
"Sister Betty what if you got married to sajan's dad?"
"Niah what are you talking about?"
"Well....am saying what if you both got married"
"How can i get married to someone i just met few hours ago?" Betty asked turning to Niah
"But you act like you like my dad" Sajan chipped in
Betty raised a brow.
"Your always silent around him.... and i can see how nervous you get when talking to him"
Betty felt like falling into a hole.....she couldn't imagine that these little children actually noticed what was going on between them
"and i think my dad like you" Sajan said
"He's a married man"
"No he's not...."
"Don't you want your mother back"
Sajan shook his head. Betty's eyes widened in shock
"But i'll love to have you as my mum"
Betty wanted to say something when Nix entered the car. Everyone fell silent as they both looked at each other. Nix gave the bags to Betty
"This will do" he said without looking at her and started the car.
