__Chapter sixty eight__
AT THE AIRPORT
Justin took anna by her wrist and he began to pull her towards the counter table.
He slapped the table angrily.
” I need new tickets!. New ticket please!!” He hollared.
The fat lady at the counter adjusted her gla-sses as she stared blankly at the roaring man.
” Excuse me?” She primped.
Justin held his temples, and his fingers sweeped itself into his hair.
He rou-ghly trucked his hands into his pocket and picked his phone to dail Allure’s number again.
He was glad she picked in the first ring.
” Hello. Call the family doctor and tell them to meet at the masion.” He said, pocketing his firm hands and straining his forehead muscles.
” They are there already??. Good..I’ll change my flight to meet at LA. Yes…” He turned his head and stared at anna for a while before taking his gaze away.
” I’ll bring anna along as well.”
When he ended the call, he threw his phone into his pocket and retreated towards the cashier.
” I’m buying a new ticket. The one to LA.”
” We can’t make a refund to the other ticket you bought.” The lady sneered.
” You can go ahead and cancel it.” Justin said unfazed and the lady simply shrugged and began to fraze her fingers on her computer.
Anna finally took a step towards justin after she realised he might have calmed a little, and she quickly tugged on his shirt behind.
He turned to peek his head at her.
He immediately saw that look, that questioning face again that were thr-usting for answers
He leaned away from the desk and he fully made a turn to stare at her.
” What actually happened at LA?” She quirked, keeping a distraught face.
” Sigh” justin taunted, he slowly craved his fingers into his hair as he took de-eper short breath.
” I was informed that my mom got a breakdown.”
” Breakdown?” She trampled, her eyes pointed out in disbelief.
” She actually had this brain disorder as a result of old age and she has been seriously battling with it.” Justin said to her, saddened.
He fell his head again, sighing like he had lost the whole world.
Anna quickly drawed a smile on her face and before he knew it, she had wrapped his wai-st with a hug, her other little hand ru-bbed his ha-rd muscular back.
” I hope she will be alright. I know she will, just have faith, okay?.. she will be fine. Nothing will happen to her.” she reminisced.
Justin looked down at her brown soft hair, his face was with an empty and void look.
He found himself bringing up his hands and then he wrapped her tenderly.
He rested his cheeks on her head and smiled.
” yes. I believe she will” He muttered.
They didn’t know they had been causing a hell of a drama and keeping a pack of angry crowd in the queue.
” Your flight to LA is in the next one hour. please wait and stand behind until your number is being called.” The lady at the counter said.
Justin picked up his luggage and held anna in his hands protectively and they turned around to leave.
That was when they realised that a queue had been behind they the whole time.
The two couples apologised in unison and was able to sneek admist the crowd unharmed and then they deported to the waiting room.

AT CHERYL’S MANSION
Cheryl opened her wry eyes. She wasn’t crying in any way but her lids were already we-t in tears.
She sniffed her we-t nose with the back of her hands and looked at the syringe bag that had been inse-rted into her veins.
She couldn’t remember what happened and what led to her breakdown, it was as if her memory was suddenly wiped out.
” Mom. I hope you are okay now?” She heard the voice of Allure. She couldn’t easily forget that beautiful angelic voice she had.
When she perfectly raised her chin, she realised she wasn’t alone in the room afterall.
Ernold and her kids, her daughter inlaw Anna, and the family doctor was here in her room as well.
They had been patiently waiting for her to finally make a single move and now that she did, they all had their heart to rest.
Justin, who had been isolating himself at the corner of the room, finally woke up from his dream state and stared towards the direction of his mother’s bed.
He sighed with relief after seeing that she hadn’t die as he had thought.
He stood infront of the bed and leaned his two arm on the duvet and placed his palm on her forehead.
” mom. Can you hear us?” He asked, making his de-eper eyes fixed on her poor wrinkled face.
He had recently detected her temperature and saw it was better than earlier.
Cheryl slowly sat up on the bed with the help of anna and Allure’s and then she rested her back on the large headboard on the wall.
She sighed, knotting her fingers into a tie.
” I’m fine but…I’m not also fine.” She spoke turning to look at each one of them.
Anna bent her head to peek at justin and she saw how concentrated his eyes was on his mom, almost as if he was searching for something unique inside it.
” I’m fine because, i was able to survive today’s breakdown and I’m not fine because, i don’t know when I’ll die, it could on my next breakdown” she solemnly spoke, her forehead got crea-sed.
Her eyes suddenly narrowed as tears began to stream out of them.
” And if my sickness get worse, i might end up not seeing my grandkids” she said, breaking into a sob. Her body ignited as she wept into her frail arms.
Justin je-rked up.
” Mom listen. No one is going anywhere. No one is dying in this house if that’s what you are thinking” He yelled, plonking himself next to her on the bed.
He calmed her shoulders and cu-p-ped them in his fierce arm.
” You are fine, mom. Nothing is definitely going to go wrong with you, you are going to stay strong and alive, do you hear me now?”
” Yes. i hope so..” she stiffly nodded her head, taking few gulp of water.
Allure crawled closer, ru-b-bing her backs and she also tried ha-rd to comfort her.
” You don’t have to worry anymore, mom. The doctor already confirmed that your body will feel more stronger after you are done with your treatment, okay?.” Allure asked.
Cheryl shaked her head and she for-ced out a smile on her saddened face.
She knew she would feel better but it wasn’t going to be for long. The Drugs will only work for a limited time before it wears out.
Afterall, she was old now- now over fifty. She knew her end time was slowly approaching to her feet.
She wondered if life would give her a chance to at least, a room to fufill her dreams of meeting her grandkids from justin’s side.
She wondered why life was going to be harsh on her again, just like how it had been for her in other previous times of her life.
she knew it was just too early for her to keep on suffering like this. She rested back on the headboard and sobbed silently.
Her head began to hurt and spin like a game wheel again.
It throbbed har-der than a pounding pistol, it was as if her brain was smashing itself inside her head.
She held her forehead in pain, her temples creasing up with discomfort.
Her eyes turned blur until it crea-sed close.
She slowly found herself falling back on the bed and the family instantly gathered around her sick bed.
They were all madly traumatised by the incident. They almost thought she had died.
” D…doctor. Is she okay?..Why did she pa-ss out?” Ernold was quick to ask.
The doc immediately found his way way into their midst. He rou-ghhandedly picked his stethoscope to check her heartbeat.
Good, it was still beating at a normal rate. He breathed a relieving sigh.
” Its okay, no one should panic. It was a slight brain loss” He said and every mouth dropped open in shock.
Seeing their shock state, he quickly diverted his speech.
“She only needs more of fresh air and sleep and in no time, her system would get back together. i think we should give her some space.” The doctor replied.
” Are you sure she’s alright?” Anna asked, slightly baffled like a curious lamb.
” Yes, she is just perfectly fine!. I will keep an eye on her until she wakes up again.” The doctor a-ssured them.
They were hesitant to leave the room for a while, but after much probbing from the doctor they were able to surrender.
They left, in hopes that she would wake up again feeling better and stronger.
Allure escorted justin and anna out of the house since they planned on going back home that night as well.
And since allure had insisted on waiting back to take care of cheryl until she was fine, justin saw no reason why he would decline the chance to return back home.
He had missed home alot and he wasn’t sure if it was still how he had left it. Perhaps, he was sure the boys had turned it upside down.
They all made a stop at the entrance of their luxury car and Allure exchanged final greetings.
” Please take good care of mom, sis. I would have wanted stay back to see her in good health but I’m sure i can trust you un-der her care as well.” Justin told her.
” Of course i will. I would count that as a small break from the kids and their busy dad” Allure said chuckling.
” We would be expecting a baby from you soon.” Allure laughed, pinching Anna’s chin.
” Not baby. Babies. Anna promised to give me babies.” Justin proudly said, as if he was sure of the outcome.
Allure laughed out more like she had just heard the most hillarious joke ever and Anna felt herself being flushed with embarra-ssment again.
” God. So you still never forgot this wish of yours, justin. I can’t believe you grew up still having the mindset that you would father twins.” Allure coughed, laughing loud again.
” It wasn’t my dream, allure. It was my priority. It’s going to happen because its meant to happen.” Justin frownly stated, speaking like it was an important news outlet.
Allure sighed with satisfaction, she gave up and smiled bitterly for this two beautiful couples.
“Twins would be a good combination for you two, if i may say.. i hope your piority does not disappoint you.”
” it wouldn’t dare ” Justin taunted, laughing sarcastically.
Anna began to think for a while and imagine how justin would feel if she ended up not giving birth to twins.
If she needed to go drink something or eat something, she would definitely do it just to get twins.
” But what if i dont give you twins as you wished?” Anna finally asked, spilling the question that had been giving her huge goosebumps.
Justin’s face was planted with a sort of sardonic smile but the expression immediately got faded.
He planted her away from the ground and looked sweetly into her big shocked eyes.
” Twins or not. Baby, i still love you just the way we’d be”

THE NEXT MORNING…
AT SAN MARIO, JUSTIN’S BEDROOM.
…
Anna looked at him for a while, a-ssessing his pink full li-ps.
She drew her two fingers into his li-p and began to mess around with it.
She giggled loudly seeing how warm and drooling it felt to be in there.
She traced her hand upwards towards his nose and pinched them hard, such a long pointed nose- she guessed.
She ran her fingers into his scattered hair and hungrily placed leaned down to kis-s him.
She tucked out her tongue and lic-ked his li-ps like an icecream before mouthing her li-ps and grabbing him in full.
Justin, in his far away dream land, could feel her li-ps smooch kis-ses on him, he adjusted his sleeping position and smiled inwardly.
He positioned his body, waiting for her li-ps again so that he would grab them and kis-s them as much as his body wanted.
She quickly leaned away from him after suspecting his readiness and her eyes strucked at the wall clock.
Good heavens!. it was already seven.
Oh geez…she grabbed her damn hair and began to panic.
Shit. How was she going to wake this hibernating bear.
He had never slept this long before and sometimes, he would have been the one to wake her instead.
He would end up being late for work today and it would be all her fault.
This was her first day of becoming a full wife and she was perfectly failing her test already.
She angrily picked up a pillow from beside her and stretched it up in the air.
” Wake up, sleepy head!!” She hit his face with the light weighted pillow. To him, he felt like he was being given a face ma-ssage.
That only gingerly made him want to sleep more and just more.
” You can’t keep on snoring in bed!. Wake up please. You’d be late for work!!” She yelled, throwing the pillows aside and grabbing his collar.
Justin finally turned on the bed, sitting up on his bu-tt and scru-b-bing his dry, still-sleepy eyes.
Anna leaned back to watch him rebooth his brain for today’s activities.
His hair was growing branches and his blue pit eyes was shinning brighter than any other way in the world.
He was just so mesmering cute, and his dull lazy expression topped it all.
Her face turned prettily bright again as if seeing him awake was the reason to her joy.
” Why did you wake me so early?” He asked, tiredly leaning his head on the headboard.
Anna blalantly crawled closer to him and kneeled infront of him while palming her hands together.
” Good morning, sunshine!. It’s seven already so i thought that i should wake you to prepare for work” She said bluntly.
Justin throated a sweet chuckle.
” So let me guess, you have started your wife duty already by waking me up this late?” He smi-rked, making her feel ridiculous.
” B..but. Hey!. Don’t blame me, i tried to wake you up but…Tsk..you didn’t want to listen to me!. You are stubborn even in your sleep!” She complained.
” I’m not stubborn, sweetie. I’m just very Nau-ghty when it comes to you.” He smi-rked, dropping his leg to the floor.
” Nau-ghty?. What’s Nau-ghty?” She asked, still kneeling on the bed as she watched him search the wardrobe.
” Nau-ghty. When i try to kis-s you at unexpected times, then I’m being Nau-ghty.” He grinned.
He walked up to his wardrobe to search for his doctor’s coat but he couldn’t find it there any longer.
He remembered that he had folded it into his dress line before he left for his honeymoon, he was unsure how it disappeared from his closet.
He pocketed his arm.
” Um..honey. Have you seen that doctors coat anywhere. it’s isn’t here” He said, scanning his eyes around the closet.
” Are you looking for this?” Anna voice rang as she skipped towards him like a happy frog.
Justin left hold of the wardrobe knob and turned to stare at her, he found her holding up his coat.
” I helped you iron it and air it. I’ve also prepared your bathing water and when you are done, your breakfast is on the table over there.” She pointed at the corner of the room.
Justin raised his head and stared at every direction she pointed with a squinted eyes, he was just so lost of words for her.
” When did you wake to all this?” He asked, folding up his arm on his che-st.
Anna pressed her li-p into thin line as she gazed up at him guiltily
” Five in the morning” she replied.
” F..five!. Oh geez!” He yelled, holding his temples.
He sighed and leaned himself against the wardrobe as he stared at her blankly.
” You know you need more sleep and rest, sweetie?. This is the work of the maids, they will be here any minute”
” No. This is my work. I’m your wife now, i need to help you just the way my status speaks” she protested, bulging out her lashes.
Justin grinned again, shaking his head awkwardly.
He loved her braveness but yet, he still wanted the work to be left for his maids. He didn’t want her to go throu-ghany stress.
What if she had sli-pped when preparing his bath water, or even burned his coat?
She finally walked closer to him, and there she was- the short wife standing next to her tall graceful husband.
” Please justin. I want to do this for you. I don’t care if you have maids or not, as far as I’m happy doing it then there’s nothing to worry about” she said, pouting her li-ps cutely.
” I dont have a problem with that, sweetie. But you should try to sleep more, okay?”
” Okay” she happily nodded her head, stretching his coat to him.
He collected his coat and threw it on the bed before hugging ti-ght to her head, placing them on his che-st.
” I love you so much. I love you more than i can love myself. I… love you sweetie.” He lamented, fixing his fingers into her hair.
Anna giggled as she wrapped her hands around him, she was glad he would leave for work today but she was going to miss him like crazy.
She quickly raised her chin to stare at him.
” Baby. I’m going to miss you when you leave for work. I wish i can come along.” She pouted.
” Don’t worry. I’ll begin to fix appointments for you when this stomach of yours get bloated, and then you will spend more time with me okay?”
She shaked her heads even tho she didn’t get what he meant. Afterall, he said he would make her come over to his hospital.
The door burst open and Ace peeked his head in,,,
” Um…sorry for interrupting your moment, Um..the driver has been waiting for you, justin. Aren’t you late for work?”
Justin stared at anna for a while before turning towards Ace.
” I’ll be down in a matter of minute. Just give us some space” He told him and Ace gladly left.
The door closed up and justin grabbed hold of anna and brou-ght her up from the ground.
Anna bulged a scared shocked eyes.
” What are you doing!!!” Her legs wigggled.
” I want you to bath me…just every single…day” He lamented.
