*****Two years later **(SARAH'S POV)
I am finally going back home. My twins were soo eager to meet Grandma Olivia and their uncle, Gladilous. Yesterday, whilst I was sleeping, they crept into my bed.
"Mom,isn't it morning already?"Zoe whined . I chuckled.
"We will surely go to Scotland. Just get sleep okay "I tried coaxing them but what Zoe said next surprised me.
"What if you leave us behind?"she had asked.
"Zoe,you know I will never leave you guys. You and your brother are my life. I am not going to leave you. Never. Now get some sleep okay. Just sleep next to mommy "I said.
Together, the three us slept in my bed.
Early the next morning, we went over to Luke's house and bid them farewell . The twins were over excited as though they were going to Heaven. I just sat down and listened to all they could say. Just then, someone spoke.
"Are these your children?"
"Yes please "
"Wow they are cute. Everybody's attention is highly on them. I bet your husband is one handsome guy" I just gave a meek smile. Husband?
"Thanks please ".
The one hour thirty minutes journey was awkward. People will just come and greet my children or even compliment them. I could just watch as compliments were passed to them. A woman had even said she had a handsome grandson. She hopes Zoe will grow up and marry him.
" Mam, my children are just five years old. Marriage is too early. "I said.
When the plane landed and we had passed through all the security checks, we went to the waiting area. My eyes fell on Gladilous. His back was facing us but I knew my brother very well. His brown curly hair was perfectly tied on his head. I was brought out of my gaze when my phone rang. It was him.
"Sis ,where are you? I've been waiting for sometime now. Sis,are you coming ?"
I didn't say anything but together with my twins, we went and stood behind him. I then spoke. "I've arrived and I am right behind you " he turned and our eyes met. He has grown taller than me and more manly and handsome. At age 21,he looked just handsome. I'm wondering the number of girls drooling over him.
"Sis! I missed you. My gosh, you look different. It's a good difference. You look like a goddess. "He said and hugged me tightly. Few minutes later, I feigned cough.
"Gladilous, you are suffocating me. I'm not vanishing into the thin air okay "I said. He just smiled and pulled away.
"Hello Zoe and Zachary. We finally got to meet "
"Uncle Gladi" they said in unison and hugged him. I just stood there watching them.
" Are we going to sleep in the airport?"I asked.
We drove home in happiness. Gladilous said that Grandma Olivia was expecting us and that she had prepared varieties of food. When we got home,Grandma had already prepared for our arrival.
"Oh my my! Look who we have here?"she exclaimed. The huggings started and laughing. This is home. I smell it. This is my family and my family is my happiness.
"Oh,I forgot to say, welcome back my sweet grand daughter and great grandchildren "Grandma said, which drew laughter from us. I felt happy and fulfilled.
