Chapter 2 - Mrs. and Mr. Mendes

(from the point of view of Mrs. Mendes)

As the mother of my only child the girl named Ro Mendes today grew to a girl who is 18 years old and soon to be 19 now. I am blessed with such a beautiful child, a daughter I am proud of. Her personality is different from other people. She is quiet to new people but when gets to know them, she gets very friendly. Also, she is a trustworthy person. She is naughty but sweet, short-tempered but very caring for her loved ones. A good student, with a clear voice attracting people, loves music more than anything. I can't really describe her how or what she is in her lifetime. Whatever she is, she is just PERFECT the way she is. I'm always happy to be the mother of one and only 'Ro Mendes.'

It is true that she is sad to leave her friends and family behind. It is also true that she wants what she is getting and is happy about it. She successfully finished school and is ready to move to another country where she will build her upcoming future. She and us, I mean Me and her father promised once she finishes her studies we all will return to our home back, she will work in the same country she was born and around the people who she grew up. I was more than happy with her decision and proud as to how my baby is mature and understanding at such a young age.

Soon she will be stepping ahead to her upcoming life where everything will be different. I have more than faith and also believe it is the right time for her to face what's coming for her and she is ready for, however, the situation will be.

( from the point of view of Mr. Mendes)

I was always and will be happy with the small family I have . I'm blessed to have 2 beautiful and sweet little females by my side all the time understanding, encouraging and supporting me all my life. both my Love and Life, Ro my lovely and sweet daughter as well as Kiki my beautiful and intelligent life. When Kiki was pregnant with Ro I guess that's the day my life took a change of complete 360 degrees and it happened only for good. Today I have both of them to be safe and I would do anything to keep them safe forever. I'm proud that my baby is growing mature, hardworking and independent day by day but I also want her to be the small little cupcake and she always will be to me no matter what. I'm proud of her and always will be.

Soon we will be moving to another country to make my one and only daughter more aware of the world along with making her stand on her feet for being someone by herself standing tall and proud. She will be joining College soon and then to University. I can't believe how the time has passed so fast and it feels like it was just a blink when the cupcake was born. She is going to be a college student soon along with making her future bright.

All my life I've taken care of her, supported her, made her aware of what is wrong and right with teaching her everything to my knowledge and today I'm very sad that she's all grown up and ready to move out of a country without any fear. I know that we're going to be with her but still, it's a very big step for a teenager to move out from their home country to a foreign one without nervousness and fear. I'm glad that she is happy and ready for it at the same time because I want her to experience the things I haven't experienced because my family wasn't much stable with the finances with all the siblings I had when we were younger. I have 3 siblings, 2 sisters and 1 brother, as for Kiki she has 3 sisters and 2 brothers. I and Kiki had an arranged marriage but everything went well because she is an amazing person I know and she compliments me with the same. I didn't really have all the luxuries in my life but I don't really know what did I deserve to get Kiki married to me even though I was still struggling when we got married. But after our marriage, everything happened slowly and gradually both of us grew together understanding and supportive and I didn't have to struggle too much. I was offered a better job with good pay. Then finally when everyone and everything around settled the happiness was doubled with the news of Kiki's pregnancy and I was the happiest man alive on Earth.

Till then I and Kiki are together a happily married couple with Ro completing the family frame making us a happy family.
