Arriving at Eric's home, Marcus had noticed a big, fine portrait of his wife at the corner of the sitting room with roses surrounding the frame, close to it a big flat screen tv was spotted.
Eric and Marcus sat down together in the parlour as they discussed their businesses. They smelled a nice, delightful aroma coming from the kitchen hallway.
Eric decided to know where the aroma was coming from. Arriving at the kitchen he sees his two daughters cooking.
"wow! It smells so good! You didn't tell me that you both could cook so well. You both really took over from your mother," he said, as he sniffs the air with his nostrils.
" Of course, we decided to make a special food just for you, for being a great Dad to us," they said, giving him a taste of their food.
Soon after, they see someone approaching them. Eric turns around and introduces his daughters to Marcus.
" Marcus, meet me daughters Luna and Lucille," he said as the both of them stretched out their hands to greet him.
"Wow, your daughters have grown so much. I could remember how little they were back then in Canada and just look at how much they have grown, '' he said as he glarced his eyes at them.
Eric brings Marcus to the dining area filled with all sorts of delicacies, a fruit bowl, a long glass table with 12 rows of seats on each side of the table, napkin with spoon, fork and knife at the side of each plate.
They all had a lovely lunch with nice conversation topics. After lunch was over Eric, Luna, and Lucille escorted Marcus to the door. They gave him a warm hug as he entered his car waving goodbye.

"Yes, who is it?" Eric said as he wiped his hands on his cloth.
Opening the front door, He see two familiar faces.
"Sindy! Mindy! My God what are the both of you doing here?! It's been ages!" he said welcoming them inside his house.
"Yes, right? Well we just wanted to pay you a surprise visit after so many things you had to face losing your wife," sindy said, staring at his pitiful eyes.
" Well I am surprised and yeah that's a long time ago. Am perfectly fine especially when I have my two daughters with me," he said, expressing his joy with a smile.
" Ah yes! That reminds me, what about your daughters? We would love to see them and after a long time now I am sure they have grown to be more beautiful!" Sindy said as she made a smile across her lips.
" Yes they really have, they went out shopping to prepare for college. You know how girls can be when it comes to shopping. They can take a whole lot of time. Why don't you come in and discuss while we wait for them to return," he said, bringing them to his parlour.
He brought them to his magnificent parlour with a huge flat screen tv, fine spaced sitting white sofa, golden tall curtains at both sides of the parlour and a medium fish tank just slightly close to the tv. He offered them drinks and food for them to eat as they had their conversation.

As they were about to make an exit, they ran into a tall stranger who appeared to be standing in their way.
He appeared to have a tall muscular body, deep black mercy haircut, slender black eyes, clean shaved beards, straight hook nose, small pink lips, farrow raised brown black eyebrows and light golden skin tone with a fierce look oozing from his physique. Apologising, they quickly head to the exit.
" Wow, never seen a cute guy like that before, too bad I didn't ask for his name," Luna said, shaking her head as she tried to remove her hair covering her eyes.
Luna and Lucille got back home with their shopping bags on both sides of their hands. Opening the front door, they get to see two unfamiliar faces sitting in their parlour, legs crossed having a conversation with their dad.
" Dad? Who are these women and why are they here?" Luna said, dropping down her bag on a chair.
" Luna, Lucille, please meet your mom's Best friends Mindy Lopez and Sindy Williams. They both decided to pay us a visit after so many years. I haven't introduced you both on a personal level yet," he said putting his two hands in his pockets.
" Yes I can see that, it's nice to finally meet the both of you. Our mom told us so many things about both of you and ambition in life. I guess you both really knew her huh?, " Luna said sniffling quietly underneath her breath.
" That's right darling, we both knew and loved your mother. She was irreplaceable and a role model to a lot of people. Am sure she would be so proud to see you grow so much, " Sindy said, taking Luna's hands.
"Oh my how you two have grown up, you both look just like your mother" Mindy said as they walked up to hug them both.
Sindy takes her phone from her pocket showing them old pictures and videos of their mother and the time they all spent together.
Luna and Lucille see their photos of their mother when she was younger and older. Later on, They all had lunch together at the dining table. as everyone sat down on the dinner table to eat. Soon after, Mindy and Sindy got ready to take their leave.
" It's a shame we have to take our leave, but we promise once in a while to visit, " Mindy said, giving them a kiss on their forehead.
" You both look extremely beautiful, just like your mother. You both take care and stay strong. Eric, look after them as much as you can. We will take our leave now. Goodbye." sindy said as the enters her car with mindy
Their servant's cleared off the dining table and got clean clothes for everyone to change in. After a long day, they all retired to bed. Eric came upstairs to see his angels as he made a gentle knock on their door,
" Come in," Luna said.
Eric enters their room and sees they are still wide awake.
" What's wrong, angels you can't sleep ? Or would you like it if I told you both a bedtime story" he said tucking them in their blankets.
" That's ok Dad, we are not kids anymore, we were just thinking how life would be if mom was still with us or us," Lucille said, holding Eric's hand.
Eric gives them a gentle smile, assuring them that everything will be alright. Kissing both of them on their heads, he took his leave as he quietly closed the door behind him.
*Two weeks later*
They got an email that they had both been accepted to Stanford university. Feeling nervous and sad about it, they thought of how they would live alone without their father being with them.
Two days later, Eric dropped them off at school. As he heads to the entrance of the school building, he sees his friend Marcus who had just come out from the entrance of the school building.
" Hey! Marcus! What are you doing here, I didn't expect to see you, what's going on?" Eric said, giving him a hand shake.
" Oh Eric, glad to see you I was just dropping off my son, this is where he has been schooling, " Marcus said, taking out a handkerchief as he wiped off his face.
" Your son Logan? That's great! I am sure he has grown so much! " said Eric happily.
" Well yes he has and is really strong too," Marcus said, keeping his handkerchief in his pocket.
"I just came to drop off my girls," Eric said, as Luna and Lucille carried out their items from the car.
Marcus tells Eric to wait for him, while he calls out to his son to come say hi. Few moments later, Marcus and his son came out. Eric sees his son and is astonished with his physique and facial looks.
Luna and Lucille were stunned to see the same stranger they had mistakenly bump into at the shopping mall. turning out to be Eric's friend's son.
