(Back from the past)
?ALEX’S POV?
“Wow, so the tale of our past took us 4 hours to tell” Andra complained, she stretched her hands up and straightened her b©dy.
“Must be nice having a crazy and complicated past” I replied as I rocked my little Diamond in my hands, she’s so beautiful, I don’t think I can be able to ba-re a day without tou-ching her, seeing her, or smelling her innocent scent. She whimpered and relaxed more in my arms. I chuckled.
“She’s so cute” Andra commented and t©uçhed Diamonds cheek and I could have sworn I saw a smile crawl to herl-ips.
“Just like her mother” I added and Andra giggled.
I’m sure you must be wondering how we ended up getting the van which I was washing when Andra went into labor, well we started selling the fruits from the vineyard and the orcha-rd , actually I was the one taking them to the market, Andra sits at home all day to avoid being seen but still she makes it her job to be a thorn in my flesh with her troubles and pregnancy hor-mones every night I come home, but her craziness has been my strength so far.
I’m just happy she has put to be-d, maybe we will st©p hearing this ‘pregnancy hor-mones shenanigans’.
So we’ve been replanting, harvesting and selling the fruits in bulk to traders, exporters, and wine factories and that has been bringing in a lot of money I must confess.
We used some of the money to get a van for business, to make transportation easier.
Andra and I agreed few months back before she Gave birth that we will start our own wine industry with the money we got from the fruit business, and then we will st©p the fruit business and focus on the wine.
Well, just 2 months we made our first two bottles of fresh alcoholic and non-alcoholic wine and two packs of fruit jui-ce, I visited a café and browsed on how to make wine and the recipe, I wrote them down and used them. I sold the bottles of wine and the jui-ce packs to a fancy restaurant begging them to try it out, it was difficult at first cause we didn’t make a name or a logo for the drinks, but after so much begging, the manager finally accepted it and paid $50 dollars for them. I gave him my contact cause i was able to get a new phone for Andra and i, and then I went home.
Not more than 4 hours after that I got a call from him, and he was asking me to start supply more of my wine and jui-ce to his restaurant cause after serving customers who were having business lunch, they ordered for more of the wine but I only brou-ght two bottles.
Andra and I were right when we said this was our ticket to wealth, we currently supply to 4 restaurants and two grocery sto-res in just 2 months of starting the business.
We just hired a delivery guy and bought a few machines for manufacturing. And more is gonna come with time.
Life has just begun ?.
“…Alex…” I heard Andra’s voice calling me.
“Mmmh” I turned to her when I finally cane back to my b©dy.
“What are you thinking about again” she asked.
“Nothing” I chuckled out. “I was just trying to complete the story of the past, I just told them the sweetest p@rt” I breathed out excitedly.
“Crazy guy” Andra smiled out. “Look she’s asleep” she Pointed at my slee-ping princess.
“She’s so beautiful” I gently rolled her curly tiny hair to the back cause they were blocking her face.
“So you said you are not leaving” I looked up when I heard Andra asking.
“Why should I when my life now revolves around you and Diamond, I’d be dead if I step away from you both” I whispered to her as I ca-resse her face, I miss her craziness alre-ady.
She smiled and t©uçh my wrist. “Thanks Alex.” She said.
“I miss your Pregnancy hor-mones alre-ady” I confessed and she laughed before replying.
“Oh, it’s still there if you want it, I can bring it out for you”
“You are so funny” I commented with a laugh.
“You are crazy” she replied.”can you plea-se l@yDiamond on the be-d and help me set the new baby be-d.
“I have no idea how to set that thing” I complained as I gently la-id my princess on the be-d, her smooth skin glittering un-der the shinning light.
“You have no idea how to set anything do you” she asked.
“Judgy much” I retorted and she rolled her eyes.
“It’s just to fix it up, nothing there”
“I sluggishly stood up from the be-d, all I want right now is to hold my baby but this evil mother of hers won’t let me be, so troublesome” I complained as I fished out the baby be-d we bought earlier this month in re-adiness to the delivery.
I unwra-pped it and spre-ad every pieces of it on the floor.
“She should also know that her father is too lazy” Andra replied and I laughed.
“Fathers are never lazy and all kids and babies knows that” I stated.
“Really, are we debating it now” she asked.
“You started it, so let’s get on with it”
“No you started i…. Urrgh, no nee-d arguing with you, we will only end up waking the baby cause non of us will ever accept defeat, we are like Godzilla and Kong” she breathed out and I laughed.
“Which of us is Godzilla, you know it’s me right?” I asked her with an amused smile but the way she stared at me, I didn’t nee-d to be told she wasn’t finding it funny.
“Don’t let me open my mouth on that t©pic Alex” she warned and I saluted, I don’t think I want post-pregnancy hor-mones to start cause that one could be worst than pregnancy hor-mones.
I finish setting up the baby be-d using the guidelines on it’s pack.
I carried Diamond and la-id her down on the be-d and she gently turned herself to the other side to be more comfortable.
“Really, your dad kept you in a way that could be better for you, but you want another position of your own, this girl you’re gonna be a very stubborn girl” Andra fired at Diamond in a whisper. And as if she was listening, Diamond relaxed more on her side.
“bit-ch what! Did you just say that I’m blabbing, oh, I’ll so deal with you when you wake up, we will know whose br£@st you gonna svçkin the next one week” Andra lashed at her and I was just busy laughing my heart out, this girl is crazy.
“What are you laughing at, like father like daughter” she fired at me and I continued laughing, she threw a pillow at me and hissed.
She made to stand up and I rushed to her.
“What do you think you are doing” I asked her as I held her and sat her back down on the be-d.
“I want to go have a bath” she whined.
“Couldn’t you have just asked me to take you to the bathroom, you just put to be-d Andra, for Christ sake st©p giving me a heart attack like this.” I breathed out and she shrugged like it was nothing.
“But I don’t feel any pain Alex” she stated with a usual smile.
I twisted my brows at her. “What do you mean by you don’t feel any pain, you just fu-cking delivered a baby, you are ought to feel pain, and by the way how come the baby didn’t come out with umbilical cord” I asked.
How can I forget that, that is so weird or doesn’t every baby come out with it.
“My point exactly, I don’t feel anything” she shrugged again.
“Or maybe all the junks you ate during pregnancy st©pped it from coming out” I asked foolishly.
“Alex, if it was meant to come out, it would have, also it is totally normal for me not to feel anything, cause that’s how my b©dy works” she stated nonchalantly.
“Doesn’t it bother you that there’s no scientific explanation to your b©dy being healed after few hours of sustaining Injury, some doesn’t even stay up to hours” I asked her.
“Nope, it doesn’t bother me, that’s how God created me” she breathed out.
But I think I’m starting to see what I didn’t see before.
There’s more to Andra than everyone knows or sees.
“OK, if you say so” I replied.
She stood up as if she just ran a marathon race but still have more strength to spare.
She walked across the room and into the bathroom and not once did my eyes tear off the extra ordinary beauty who for one minute looked completed strange to me as she walked by.
“Alex could you pls call Halen and Mr. Alfred to come over” I j£rked back when she called out to me.
“Sure” I replied distantly And picked up my phone and for a second and for no reason my mind flashed to the ancient Queen Bollitovah, is Andra really just a replica or is there more than we were told.

NEW YORK ?
?LOLA’S POV?♀️
‘Dear Diary,
It’s been almost a year since Alex and Andra went missing, the police are no longer enthusiastic in finding them like they were the first two months they went missing.
And mum’s s£ntence to one year probation for allegedly changing two business trip tickets to A city in South America which happens to belong to the company she works in to Andra’s and Alex’s names without permission, her probation will be expiring in 3 months time.
Dad was divasted at first but he’s picking himself up now, for over 5 months my family and Alex’s family has been in shambles.
And the funny and crazy thing is that mum keeps saying that she doesn’t know anything about the tickets, she swore that she didn’t change them or s£nd her daughter to any city, she said she was driving around the city looking for Andra the day they supposedly left the country, also another weird thing that we can’t seem to comprehend is how the name of the city wasn’t recorded at the airport or how the Plane they borded hasn’t been found in any airport in America, they seem to have disappeared into thin air. Alex and Andra’s missing posters has been all over the news and papers, billboards and streets that people are loosing interest in them, some are tearing the posters off the streets and it breaks my heart beyond imagination that I have a hand in all of this.
If only PROM NIGHT didn’t happen, at least she will still be here and we will only be picking on her like we used to.
I never knew I would ever say this but I miss her, I miss my cute little sister that have done nothing but to love me and her two other sisters but we only paid her back with jealousy and evil’.
I felt tears roll down my cheeks and I cleaned them to avoid Titi and Jenny catching me. ‘They seem not to Care about the disappearance and if they care at all it would only be for Alex, so whenever they see me crying, I would tell them that I’m just missing mum and they will try to cheer me up, but de-ep down my heart, I’m dying to see my little sis, she might have put to be-d now’ I chuckled and cleaned my face. ‘Her child might be as cute as she is, but why Alex, my Alex, the only guy I’ve ever felt something real for, yes I was d@t!nghis brother but that was just to cover up the fact that I loved him, I didn’t want to join the list of his crushers because I loved him for real, but then Andra c@m£ in and kicked off with Alex, it broke my heart but I’m willing to let go now that she must have given birth and every bond she had with Alex must have broken cause of the baby, but we nee-d to find them first, where can they be’
‘On Dad’s p@rt, he felt like it was all his fault, he felt like he chased her away, well he did but if only he knows what we did’ I sniffled and cleaned my face for the millionth time.
