ROSALIA'S POV
The phone slipped from my hand and dropped to the floor I lost my balance and sat on the bed voices can still be heard from my phone.
My mom was crying and talking to me at the same time but i was lost in my own trance.
"Nothing was wrong with him when he left the house yesterday"
"He was so full of life when he left for that godforsaken conference"
"Had I known he wouldn't be coming back i would have stop him from going"
"Now I have lost him, Rosalia your father is gone, I have lost my husband"
Hearing her crying and lamenting broke me into pieces everything felt like a nightmare, tragedy struck me at my lowest I have lost my father when am still nursing an heartbreak and moving on from a divorce.
Just when I thought things are finally okay tragedy came knocking at my door step, I didn't even know were the tears came from it kept brimming down my face the pain was excruciating, my eyes felt blurry from the tears my throat become hoarse i didn't even know that i have been crying all night, the sun seeped through my window sill and filtered on me where i was crouched on the floor i didn't even know how I got there, that was when i knew it's already morning how time flies just last night i lost my father.
My phone kept ringing all through the night but i never picked it up from where it fell since last night.
THIRD PERSON'S POV
Miranda has been calling Rosalia's number since last night she wanted to inform her that she forgot her iPad at her place, and that she will come for it in the morning, she was not able to sleep since she wasn't picking her call.
When she noticed it was already morning she got in the car informing Lucas about her whereabouts, and what's been going on since last night about how she couldn't get through to Rosalia and drove off to Rosalia's house.
On getting there she saw the iPad where she left it on the couch since last night but couldn't find Rosalia she's known her as an early bird because she's one of the earliest customers at the store, she decided to check on her she kept calling her name but got no response and went searching for her in all the rooms in the house until she got to her bedroom, and found her crouched on the floor with tears streaks on her face and she was looking lifeless.
She didn't bother asking her but immediately engulfed her in a hug, and that made the lifeless Rosalia burst into uncontrollable tears, crying hysterically and hugging Miranda back like her life depends on it.
ROSALIA'S POV
I heard my name faintly in the background like someone has been calling me from afar but I thought it was my illusion not until I saw Miranda hugging me.
I burst into tears the tears coming out with more force in torrents i hugged her back with much intensity and kept on crying, I couldn't control my tears she kept on soothing me and trying to calm me down
"Ssh ssh whatever it is just calm down it's okay to cry Rosalia, but you shouldn't cry too much as you may end up hurting yourself or the babies "
What she said is true I have been crying too much since getting pregnant but I can't help it, it's not my fault I kept on crying I just couldn't control the tears.
"I-l don't understand Miranda why does tragedy hovers above me, I just got divorced barely three months now, i am still nursing an heartbreak that am just healing from, i am also going to be a single mother because my husband divorced me am a divorcee Miranda, people are gonna point to my kids and call them or maybe tell it to their faces that they are fatherless, and now I have lost my father Mira i have lost my confidant and bestfriend" i told her in tears.
Before marriage my father was my best friend,he is the only person that usually calls me by my second name because it was his mother's name.
I always confide in him because of him I was able to marry Alexander, and he was my mentor and role model I didn't tell him about the divorce because I didn't want him to think, he once told me that my marriage to Alexander may seem like a business deal to Alexander's father, but to him he made his daughter's lifelong wish came true as a good father would and that was what he did.
Even though he may seem nonchalant or act like he doesn't care about my marriage in front of outsiders, but whenever I am alone with him in his room in his study or at his office.
He always told me that "Andrea you should never let your husband take advantage of your one sided love for him and allow him to ruin you because you deserve better" he always told me that I should never lower my standards for any man.
She crouched down beside me on the floor and hugged me again cupping my cheeks and looking into my eyes and then telling me "Baby girl people will talk that's what their mouth is made for, let them talk you are a billionaire baby you are so much capable of taking care of your kids, without a man who doesn't deserve you or your love you are just too good for him he doesn't deserve you Rosalia, you may be a divorcee but you are strong woman because you are healing quite well from the divorce "
"And about your father I am really sorry for your loss I know there is nothing that can be done to bring him back, but rosalia god has blessed you he has given you two bundles of joy for them to light your world, even I and lucas have been meaning to tell you that we would be happy if you give us the honor of being the twin's godparents we would really appreciate it"
What she said brought me joy and relief despite my sad state I hugged her so much not wanting to let go of her and she hugged me back with the same intensity then I heard
"Yes Rosalia we would really love to be their godparents and would appreciate it if you grant us the honor, and you can always count on us because we would always be here for you anytime"
Lucas said appearing in the room I didn't even know when he got here but also hearing him say that, made me happy and I hugged them both he kept pating my hair and calming me down.
I was more than willing to let them be the twin's godparents, in just a short time of knowing them they have been nothing but helpful and supportive to me, they became my family than my supposed husband who never was
"You have always been their godparents even without telling me because I have always wanted you to be their godparents, I have also wanted to tell you that but was looking for the right time, I never knew you were also willing, I couldn't have found anyone better to be their godparents than you too" I told them.
"We are so happy thanks Rosalia and we promised to be the best godparents there ever is to them, and always cherish them like the jewel they are meant to be" Miranda told me looking at Lucas who nodded at me.
"Am so sorry for your loss Rosalia" he said to me when we disengaged from the hug I nodded at him if not for them I would probably have gone insane from the news I received, I wiped my tears and thank them and they returned downstairs to the living room, and i got into the bathroom to freshen up and clean myself of the tears streak and soot that may have clung to my body since last night.
After bathing and changing into something comfortable to wear I packed a few clothes for the journey back home I am about to embark, I took my phone out and saw that the time has gone it's already afternoon and I haven't eaten, I don't feel hungry but I need to eat for my babies I took the little luggage I had already packed and joined them downstairs.
On getting into the living room they were already seated on the couch and i sat with them, and told them I had to leave for home now for my dad's funeral and to go console and be with my mom.
What they did next got me crying I never expected such from them can they really do that to me
