THE COMPLEXITY IN HER CHARACTER

FRIENDSHIP

There was a heavy silence in the mansion. Words became heavy to pronounce and everyone suddenly felt numb then Audrey broke the silence...

So what you are trying to say is that Rosa Linn is my twin sister and no one thought it wise to tell me not even mom or dad. Look honey lets sit down so I can explain. Your mom has been looking and waiting for the perfect time to tell you about everything even your dad just found out today. Was that why he left the mansion so early Rosa asked. Yes thats why.

Becca is the second wife of your father. Audrey gasped as she heard about that. Does that mean The Sinclair brothers are my stepbrothers. Sadly yes that's the truth and since then your mom wasn't able to conceive a child ot her own. No doubts she loved the boys so much but she just wanted her own fruit. Your dad on the other hand, after the death of his first wife didn't want any other child especially a female but your mom promised that she was so sure she would begets a male son and he finally consented to it. Months and months which turned to years passed and nothing was forthcoming so they both decided to go for a check-up in the hospital and the doctor diagnosed her with first stage ovarian cancer. She was heartbroken and your dad console her telling her to just not to worry but Becca presented the whole story as if your father was happen her she couldn't get pregnant. He deny it several times and finally out of annoyance he asked her what she wanted.

Before that your mom had pleaded with me to be the surrogate mother. Seeing her in so much pain I reluctantly agreed. We all went to the hospital and tests were carried out. After a month or two we returned back to the hospital and the foetus was implanted in me. When it was time for delivery. It was a twin a girl and a girl. Knowing fully well that her husband would be greatly annoyed. She pleaded with her brotherJosh to take care of the other girl.

It wasn't that deep mummy could have just told daddy. He's nice isn't he? Audrey asked.

So I am the one who's existence was hidden am I that worthless? Rosa said with tears in her eyes.

Josh knelt and held the twins hands apologizing for hiding the truth from them. It was just that I thought that was the best thing to do. Becca really loves you both and if she find out that you both know she'll break down. Please Audrey, please Rosa let this news stay within the four corners of this wall. Let it not get out. Becca must not find out that you both know. Do you want to loose your mother? NO not at all they chorused at once. Then you both should keep it a secret and don't allow either of your parent to find out that you both know already. We will not spill the tea Rosa said smiling at Audrey. Of course we won't. Audrey hugged her twin so tightly like she had finally found her missing piece.

If we were boys I would have agreed to the names ‘Jayden and Kayden’ or ‘Liam and Eliam’ but we are not Audrey said so what name do you think would suit us.

Well, I'll be telling a lie if I say I was actually thinking because my mind isn't here it's actually in the fridge. I'm craving Vannila Ice cream with sprinkles Rosa whispered into Audrey's ear and her tummy groaned like it had rehearsed before hand. The both girls laughed out loud.

Ice cream you want Ice cream you shall get. Race you to the kitchen Audrey screamed as she started running into the house. Hey! that's not fair, Rosa said as she laughed and ran after her. Unknown to the girls Nanny Peace was carrying a tray of food to serve them. oops! the girls said at once as the tray of food almost fell to the ground. How many times do I need to remind you not to run around the house especially into the kitchen. What if you got hurt.

We are so sorry Nanny, we promise to keep to instructions next time.

That's all right so what brought you both here in the first place.

Wellll....

well what she impatiently said.

Seems like someone isn't in a good mood the two mischieves said with a smirk on their face.

Okay, so we came to satisfy our icecream cravings they finally said.

Ice cream huh. I see, so you both almost knocked me down because you were or you are craving I've. Soo it's not a bad idea to give you both Ice cream but I just finished preparing food so you'll have to eat first and if after that you still want the Ice cream I will then give you. I've

Fine, Rosa said as she dragged her feet to the dinning table and Audrey followed suite. Can we eat from one plate Audrey asked Rosa. oooh yes! I've been wanting to do that forever. Nanny Peace then served them a full plate of spaghetti and meatball. Bon appetit she said sounding like a waitress from France.

There's always space for Ice cream Rosa slowly said even though she was obviously full..

Nanny Peace served them both three scopes of ice cream each and their eyes widen. They became to dig into their plates and in no time they began singing “I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice cream”. I hate ice cream now Audrey said holding her stomach. My tummy hurts so much Rosa continued. I guess we took to much. Guess? we obviously took too much.

Rosa and Audrey managed to walk to Audrey's room. Audrey fell like a log of wood and Rosa curdled her on the bed until they both went to bed.

Lol, that would have been the storyline if we were twins Rosa said my birthday is on the third day of December. We might not be twins but we can be best friends. Of course we can Audrey said smiling and by the way you are a critical thinker and a good narrator. We have a lot in common.
