One + One (22)

Audrey just finished the meeting. He walked slowly back to his study followed by Stella. Audrey asked Stella, what are the important schedules to watch out for.

"Is there an important schedule? like a meeting or something?" ask Audrey.

"That, Mom. There's a charity auction invitation. Would you like to be present?" Ask Stella.

"Library? when's that?" audrey looked at Stella.

Stella checked the invitation through the tablet she held she told him if the charity auction would be held at the end of the month.

"Last of the month, Mom. Located outside the city. It was held for three consecutive days for inviting VIP guests from abroad as well. As explained by the Manager of the auction event organizer," Stella replied explained.

"The end of the moon, huh? Hm .. "murm Audrey frowned.

Audrey recalled the schedule outside of work at the end of the month. And because he forgot, he checked his phone to make things clear.

Stella looked at Audrey who was busy with a cell phone. He didn't know what his boss was doing.

"Is there something, Mom?" ask Stella.

"Ah, sorry. I'm checking my kids' schedules. I'm afraid there's the same schedule, it's not." replied Audrey.

"Oh, yes, Mom. I forgot to convey, you get a VIP invitation" Stella said.

"Hahh ... (sighs) if invited as a VIP guest, how can I refuse it?" Audrey murmurs.

Hearing Audrey's muttering, Stella asked, What does that mean? it was as if Audrey was unwilling to attend the charity auction invitation.

Audrey explained. Not that he didn't want to be present. If the time is held three days and invited as a VIP, then inevitably have to attend until it is finished. That VIP guest was the star in the charity auction event. It was an honor for him to be invited as a VIP guest, only that he was worried about the twins. Can it be left during that time? Audrey is afraid that Cello and Cella will get bored and look for her.

"You must know how the twins. They wouldn't be able to sleep without being read a storybook by me. Sherlyn won't be able to handle both of them when they go berserk" explains Audrey.

"Hahaha .. true as well, yes. Then what, Mom? Shouldn't you just take them?" stella said she gave advice.

Audrey opened the door of the room and walked towards her desk. He pulled a chair and sat down. Stella placed a stack of files on Audrey's desk and stood by Audrey's side.

"Eitherway. I'll try asking them later. Oh, yes, Stella. I'll be home after this. Is there anything else important than signing these files?" ask Audrey.

"Nothing, Mom. When you're done signing, please leave it at your desk. I'll give it to Miss Elly later. Please go home and enjoy your time with the adorable twins" Stella smiled.

"You really like Cello and Cella apparently" Audrey said.

"of course. If you'd like, take them back to the Gallery, ma'am." pinta Stella.

Audrey nodded her head, "Yeah, next time I'll take her. Maybe on school holidays. So that you are satisfied to play all day with them" replied Audrey.

"Yeah ... Audrey is the best. Yeah, that's it, Mom. I went back to work first. Excuse me," said Stella who immediately left Audrey in the room.

Audrey smiled sweetly. He was happy to see Stella who was getting more cheerful and active in her work. Compared to the first time, Stella looked moody and dreamy more often.

Audrey turned her eyes and took out a file of documents on her desk. He read and signed the file. He had to finish his job so he could get home soon.

In caffe. Cello and Cella sat down to enjoy their favorite dessert. Nicholas makes strawberry juice for his two foster children as a companion to eat dessert.

Caffe atmosphere is crowded, Sherlyn also helps serve visitors who want to order. And deliver orders that have been made. Seeing Sherlyn busy, Nicholas stops Sherlyn and asks Sherlyn to sit down with the twins.

"It's okay. I'm tired of just sitting. At the boutique sits, at the caffe sits. So, please let me move. Okay," answered Sherlyn.

Seeing Sherly insist on making Nicholas speechless. He relented, letting Sherlyn do what she liked.

Sherlyn saw a guest calling, "Oh, yes, a delivery" said Sherlyn who went straight to the guest.

Nicholas went to bring a tray to the kitchen. From behind the counter Nicholas peeked at his two foster children. The twins are busy studying.

"Do you have homework?" ask Nicholas.

"Yes, we were asked to draw a picture of a family member by Master Ma'am." replied Cella.

Nicholas nodded his head, "Oh, so. All right then. Papa was busy working first, yeah. You have to make a good picture, okay" said Nicholas.

"Yes, Papa. Excitement" replied Cella.

"Papa, papa .. did Mama send a message?" ask Cello.

Nicholas took the phone in his pants pocket and looked at the phone screen. Nicholas keeps his cell phone back, then answers Cello's question, if Mama doesn't send a message.

Cello nodded his head, asking Nicholas to return to work. She and her twin sister Cella continued the half-finished picture.

When Cella finished drawing Mama, Cella was silent. He looked at Cello and asked about Papa.

"Do we need to draw Papa?" ask Cella.

"Yes, of course. Papa Nico is our family." replied Cello.

"Not Papa Nico. Our papa, Cello." said Cella.

"Our father? Do we have any other Papa besides Papa Nico?" ask Cello.

"Eitherway. Maybe Mama has her picture. Let's ask Mama later" said Cella.

"As far as you are. I want to continue drawing" replied Cello.

Cella looked at the picture. He continued his painting duties. Cella drew Sherlyn and Nicholas next to each other, then stained them. Because there is an empty place beside the picture of Mama, Cella also joined someone in her name and gave the name "Papa" on the head of the picture.

Cello saw a picture of Cella, "You drew another Papa?" ask Cello.

Cella nodded her head, "Yes, because there is an empty place next to Mama then I draw Papa. Why?" ask Cella.

"Your imagination is great. You draw Papa more handsome than Papa Nico" said Cello.

"Ah, that's because in my shadow Papa is very handsome and cool." replied Cella.

Cello thought as he looked at the picture, "Hmm ... Should I also draw our Papa, huh?" cello said worried.

"Picture only. That's right next to Mama there's still a place" Cella said.

Cello still thinks. Soon he picked up a pencil and started drawing Papa, then staining it. In the shadow of Cello, his Papa figure was also handsome. So he drew a handsome Papa next to his mother's picture.

After decorating and naming the class, finally their drawing task was completed. Cella and Cello exchanged pictures. Kinguanga observed the image each held.
