The Woman the Lord Pays
Why Don't We Have Mommy?

Edwin and Elvin were sitting quietly in the car because they were on their way to school. They sat quietly as they were listening to their father's lecture but their calm was not long as Elvin's mischievous hands started patting his brother's feet. He's the coolest but he's the funniest.

"Don't hit!" Edwin began to reply.

"I didn't hit!" Elvin hit back.

"I told you not to hit!" Edwin hit back.

"I don't!" shouted Elvin.

Edwin and Elvin start to punch each other in both hands. They accuse each other like they did. Morgan was completely at a loss for words, he had not finished speaking but his two sons had already been arguing even they had not stopped hitting each other.

"Boys, Daddy's not done talking yet but why are you hitting each other?"

"Elvin started first, Dad," Edwin said.

"I didn't do anything" the crybaby put on a sad face for his father to defend himself.

"OK, stop! Daddy doesn't want to hear arguments like this. Daddy just wants you guys to be good kids without making a fuss at school. Do you guys understand?"

Edwin and Elvin nodded, they then nudged each other but again they did not accept so they started nudging each other.

"Geez!" Morgan exhaled heavily, were they unable to reconcile?

"Dad, are you going to pick us up later?" ask Edwin.

"Daddy is busy" answered his father.

"If Daddy doesn't pick me up then I'll cry" threatened his youngest son.

"No need to threaten Daddy!"

Elvin starts to show his sad face, he will cry loudly if his father does not want to take them home from school.

"OK, no need to cry!" he was completely defeated by his own son.

Edwin and Elvin pitted each other's palms, their laughter also heard. They got along and played together, at least the atmosphere returned to peace. Their school was seen, now the peace was gone replaced with the sound of their screams.

"School... School... The school!" Edwin and Elvin said it at the same time.

Morgan's head hurts, he's like he's on a demo by his own son. Edwin and Elvin were still shouting, they even jumped up and down in a still sitting position. The car so shook, Morgan could only sigh heavily.

"It's here, we've arrived!" scream the twins.

The bag was taken and worn, and now they stand up and ask the driver to stop the car because they can't wait to get down.

"Boys, listen!" Morgan patted both his hands to draw sympathy for his two sons.

Edwin and Elvin turned around, facing their father. Morgan held the hands of his two sons, hoping they wouldn't make a fuss at school let alone this their first day of school.

"Please promise Daddy not to be naughty later. Don't make trouble so Daddy should be called by your teacher. You gotit?"

"I understand, Dad," they both answered.

"Good!" Morgan hopes his two sons understand.

Morgan got out of the car, followed by his two sons and two babysitters who would look after them.

"Well, Dad," the twins answered simultaneously.

Morgan hugged his two sons before releasing them. Edwin and Elvin wave and after that they step towards the school gate and look happy but their joy disappears when they see children their age being ushered by their mother.

Edwin and Elvin looked down and sad, they had no mother. They asked but their father never answered. When their father answers, they always say they don't have a mother. Therefore they look sad especially all those who just went to school there were escorted by their mothers.

Edwin and Elvin's steps come to a standstill when they see a girl being hugged and kissed by her mother. They looked at the girl with envious gazes then they stepped back and looked even sadder.

"Sister, why don't we have Mommy?" the question was asked by Elvin.

"I don't know, we'll ask Daddy again after coming home" replied his brother.

"But Daddy always says we don't have Mommy, do we really not have Mommy?"

"You must have Mommy because every child has a mother" said one of their babysitters.

"really?" Edwin and Elvin turned, looking towards their babysitter.

"Of course, I can't possibly lie. You also have a mother like them."

"You heard that, brother. We have Mommy" cried Elvin.

"True, Daddy must have lied to us" Edwin said.

"After we go home we have to find out!" they stepped back while holding hands and looking cheerful.

Their babysitters say they have a mother, if their father does not want to tell then they will find their own mother and they are sure they will definitely find the whereabouts of the mother they so long for.

Meanwhile, on the side of the dock in Australia. The mother they missed was standing on the side of the pier. Not for a vacation, but Eliana was there to talk to her mother where her mother's ashes she was floating around the pier.

Eliana's eyes were fixed on the calm water. Three years, three years he's been in Australia. During those three years he tried to let go of his mother and waited for the right time to return.

He deliberately waited three years and did not immediately return after keeping his oath to his mother because it was not easy to find a baby that he had never seen apparently. She also knew Ray couldn't possibly allow herself to find her two babies so easily that she waited, waiting for the two babies that he gave birth to a little adult will thus make it easier for him to find them.

After three years of living in Australia, Eliana finally decided to return. He also chose not to go straight back because he knew, for a person who had nothing like himself would not be able to fight the powerful Young Master to snatch his two children. During those three years anyway, Eliana opened a small business from the last money she got but now, she had to leave that venture for a while.

"I have to go, Mom," said Eliana, eyes still not separated from the calm sea water.

"I have to find the two babies that have been taken from me but I will come back again once I find them. I will take them to this city, I will not stay there anymore" Eliana smiled, but sadness was implied by the look on her face.

"I always apologize to you, Mom. I'm sorry I cheated you. I had no choice at the time, really. I had to do it for you so I hope you forgive me even though I know you must be disappointed," the tears hatched, the pain she felt back then remembered.

"But now, I will fight for what I should have. I'll find them and bring them. I promise you, I will correct the mistake I have made," he will definitely be able to find the whereabouts of his two sons and take them away from the hands of the Young Master who paid him first.

She hopes she can meet up with Ray or Grace so she can meet her two sons but unfortunately, Ray is dead and Grace has already moved to another city.

After talking to her mother, Eliana left the dock while pulling a suitcase because today she will return to France, to look for her two sons.
