- Evans?
- sorry?
- mom is Mimi.
- it's her?
She looked at me before smiling.
- I confused you with a ... well ... I ...
Like a boy? Ah yes! I was still cold so I wore a big marrion sweater and jogging pants that didn't touch me either because I was skinny or because it was tall. And I had sneakers on my feet and in the end, I put on a beanie.
- are you going to a carnival? Is that how you're going to dress to welcome mom?
- I should not?
- No, she'll love you because you don't do too much.
And then at the airport because we went there with Marie, she called me Evans when she saw me.
- sorry sweetheart. Tell her by hugging me warmly.
She took me in her arms.
- mom what's up with evans?
- Messi you ask too many questions. Anyway, I'll explain that to you afterwards. While waiting for my babies, I missed you my babies.
She hugged them both.
- you too mom.
- I have lots of gifts for you.
- Okay.
To have gifts, she had some. There were more than ten suitcases.
- where are my babies?
- they're at daddy's but you can see them tomorrow.
- what? How can you leave the children with him? Fortunately Lindi is here.
Let's talk about paul and Florence. Paul was fifty years old and Florence was 46 years old. Finally at this time. and the twins had looked like their mother. Paul was not born rich but had fought and eventually became rich, bringing Florence with him. He helped him set up his successful business and the two were associated. Florence had become pregnant when Paul was eighteen and he had taken her for his wife. But because of Florence's cousin, they had divorced because Paul, who was only a man, had fallen into the trap of his sister-in-law and had cheated on his wife. Since that day, flo had not forgotten and still hated Paul as much. They were divorced when marrion was ten and two years later paul married lindi. Lindi was very kind and proved to flo that she can take care of children just as much as she does even though she is sterile.
- mom, you still haven't forgiven dad?
- if.
- well it doesn't look like.
- since I'm telling you that it is.
And yet! We got into the car. I was sitting behind with Marie.
- mimi I thank you for what you do for my son. The twins only tell me good things about you. You are also very beautiful! All skinny but beautiful nonetheless.
- thank you Madam.
- Please, call me ma'a flo. Even my kids do.
- okay.
She was as beautiful as Lindi. Marrion drove to a large gate on the outskirts of town. When he walked in oh my God! The house was so big and beautiful even bigger than his father's.
There were active employees and it was enlightened.
- welcome home mom
- thank you.
The employees also seemed happy to see her as they began to sing songs in tongues just for her. It was just too good. This time, the employees removed their suitcases to put them in their room. Then she went upstairs to change.
- Mimi, what do you think of ma'a flo?
- she's super cool but she mistook me earlier for a boy.
- with evans, a cousin. I don't know him very well but I know his mother is dead and he lives with his father in Switzerland.
- Ah OK!
Then she went downstairs; she was beautiful for her age, yes, too beautiful. we went to the table and she was telling about her stay. As I had to work the next day, marrion and I took the pros off.
The next day, Emily arrived in a bad mood which was weird because usually he was in a really bad mood.
- hello Emily.
- Emilio, Emilio. Remember my name, stupid girl. I thought the descendants of the bleached were smart but you, you're worse than a sheep
I didn't even know what I had done.
- Hello sir.
- take my bag, put it down and bring me a coffee.
- sir, I am a trainee not a secretary.
- you know who I am? How dare you refuse to submit to my orders?
- sir, I am a trainee ...
- you will be an intern for another person.
- hey hey hey! With your head there. Emily why are you firing her? Did I give you the right?
- marrianne don't get involved.
- if I get involved. Are you talking to my little sister like that?
- your what?
- and hold on tight, it's marrion's wife.
- what?
- Yes! Just because you don't talk to each other doesn't mean you're going to behave badly with his wife. She will remain at your service until the end of the internship period.
- okay.
- and I don't even understand why she annoys you
- Neither do I
- in short, everything is said. Emily, I'm going to go to lunch with her.
- but I just arrived and ...
- you can start yourself even if you are in such a hurry.
She nailed his beak.
The next day, Marie gave me the day and I spent it with Marrion and John, it was so cool. We went for a walk and ate before heading back to play video games.
If I knew that the next day, I was going to receive such a shock, I would better take advantage of this moment.
The next day, 'since it was Saturday', we went to spend the day at ma'a flo with her grandchildren. She was proud to see them, too happy. I wanted to drink a glass of water and it was in the other living room. I got up and overheard a conversation between marrion and his mother.
- mom, as far as i know, you still haven't reconnected with your brother then, where did you see evans? The last time we saw him he was five years old.
- Yes, it's true. I didn't even know it was Evans, he recognized me. He was in a university not far away and we met. Her father lived in another city. So we spent some time together. He told me that his father spoke to him about me with I do not know how, photos to support him suddenly, he easily recognized me.
- Okay.
Then I left to get the water bottle.
- hey mimi, come see the photo album.
- the album?
- there are pictures of marrion when he was a baby and naked.
-I arrive.
we looked at the pictures until one hit me. I first thought it was my eyes.
- go back to the photo
She zapped.
- who is he?
- it's Evans, my cuckoo and next to his father. Her mother died at birth and her twin sister was taken away, and she was never found. And we haven't seen each other since he was five years old.
- pity. How old was he?
- five years.
I was exactly the same at that age. I felt like I was in front of a photo of myself. But hey it had to be a coincidence. We returned and I went to my room and then I reviewed the events.
My flo had called me evans. And this Evans looked like me and his story was the same as mine.
- no it can't be that.
I put the box that mom gave me. It was about my mother's business when I was born. And at the back, there was a photo. A white lady and a black man side by side each held a baby. The man's face was familiar to me and it clicked.
I looked at the photo again and no doubt.
- so ... husband ... marrion and I are cousins and therefore almost brother. Oh no, not that.
