With serious eyes, Jonathan turned his face up and stared at Kevin Moore's. He was so impressed with the intensity of love and respect this young, handsome and wealthy dude held for his daughter Pinky.
Just about time, Pinky was through with the video shoot. She had already seen Kevin Moore long time that as soon as she stood up from the set, she walked direct to meet him with a lot of joy.
"Thank you for coming," Pinky expressed gratitude.
"It's me to thank you for inviting me in your privacy!" Jokingly Kevin Moore contradicted her, as the three of them began to walk on, leaving the premises with two escorts walking from behind.
"It's me to thank you for inviting me in your privacy!" Jokingly Kevin Moore contradicted her.
The three began to walk slowly to find their way out of the premises. From behind where two muscular men escorting them. When Kevin Moore saw them, he asked who the men were and Pinky answered to him that they were her casual bodyguards.
Jonathan began to look at his daughter in disguise, trying to inform her that it was time to bring on the major reason for inviting him. But since they had no idea whether Kevin knew Babara as an individual, Pinky had to be extra smart to find out.
"Kevin," Pinky started by mentioning his name to destruct him from anything he had on his mind and pay attention to her which Kevin did unknowingly.
"Yes my love!" Kevin indicated attentiveness.
Pinky: "I had a nightmare. Do you mind if I tell you about it? Maybe you can help me to translate it."
Kevin: "Nightmare!"
Pinky: "Yes! a very scary one... Do you think dreams are a way heavens communicate to us in real life?"
Kevin: "Okay..., in my opinion, dreams give us a message in a mysterious way. And it is always a beautiful message. I would like to know how a nightmare looks like!"
Pinky: "In my dream, I saw myself fighting with myself!"
Kevin: "Really! tell me how you came to fight with yourself!"
Pinky: "Alright, I entered my own bedroom at home and I found myself inside, and then, me and me started to fight!Suddenly I wokeup sweaty and scared."
Kevin: "That's weird though! Did you know in the dream why you were fighting with yourself?"
Pinky: "The reason is why I was so scared."
Kevin: "Do you mind telling me?"
Pinky: "You...! Me and the other me were fighting for you. She wanted me to leave you alone and I never wanted to let you go, so we fought."
Kevin: "Now that's a serious nightmare."
Pinky: "I can't believe in that dream I was adressing her as Pinky and she was calling me Babara...! the foolish name the young guy in the restaurant confused me with the other time....! Gosh!.
When Pinky mentioned the name Babara, it took Kevin by shock because he knew exactly who Babara was that he froze in a speechless mode for a moment. Jonathan and Pinky noticed his sudden change in gestures and silence.
"Is everything okay?" Pinky wondered, "I am actually sorry if I said anything that offends you." She apologized.
"No sweetheart, there's actually nothing to apologize about," Kevin Moore said.
In his mind Kevin was thinking whether he should open up to her about Babara. And because of the love he had for Pinky, he never wanted to keep any secrets away from her. However, Kevin had promised himself that Monica Yen was the one responsible to tell Pinky the truth as her mother and not him.
The car to take Jonathan and Pinky was right infront of them and the driver was standing at the door, waiting so that he can open for them to get in. Jonathan asked her daughter whether she was leaving with him back home or she was going with her fiancée Kevin.
"I think I have to join my father on a way home," Pinky told Kevin when she observed he was nolonger warm as he has been before and she began heading towards the SUV.
"Goodbye Kevin," Pinky waved at him with a smile.
"Wait!" Kevin asked her to hold on and he quickly walked where she was at the car entrance.
The car door was already open and Jonathan entered to wait inside. Kevin told Pinky that he knew she is confused about his sudden reaction and he said sorry to her. Turning his eyes on Jonathan inside the car, Kevin said there was someone he wanted both of them to meet.
"Especially you," Kevin told Pinky.
"When will that be?" Pinky curiously inquired.
"Very soon," Kevin replied. He pecked her on the cheek and left her to get into the vehicle so that a driver's duty was not interrupted.
From his conversation with Pinky, Kevin Moore had to meet Monica Yen, the twins' mother to catalyse her into activity. As usual, Monica Yen had gone to meet the black market human blood dealers when Kevin Moore called her on phone asking for an urgent meeting.
Knowing his value in her life, Monica Yen didn't hesitate to direct Kevin Moore where she was even though it was against the agreement she made with dealers from whom she bought human blood. The agreement was never to involve a third party.
Two cars parked face to face, a black luxurious sedan where Monica Yen was sitting in the rear and an ambulance. From the back door a man wearing a white gown came out with a safe box in the hands which contained several packets of human blood.
He walked with the box to the sedan where he met Monica and opened for her to see. After confirming, Monica got an envelope with cash in it and handed it to the strange man. As the man was planning on stepping out of Monica's car, a super car drifted and parked suddenly.
"Who the hell is that?" a man worriedly looked at Monica asking.
"Someone you don't have to worry about," replied Monica Yen.
"That's not what we agreed on!" a man shocked Monica Yen with his rude response.
"You needn't worry about whoever the person is besides, you're the one who never came on time otherwise you would have long left here!" in a raw sore throat Monica Yen talked back.
"No third party! that was our agreement remember! I bring business to you and its your duty to hush up, I'm not ready to go to prison and leave my family to suffer! this happens to be my last time to do business with you," anxiously the man opened the car door.
Monica Yen had no choice other than to watch him leave. The man got into the ambulance and took off. Bothered about the incident, "Gosh!" Monica Yen exclaimed, "he's the only dealer I trusted in Capricon city... what am I going to do when this blood is finished?"
It was time to hear what Kevin had to tell her. Monica Yen got out of her car to meet him. When she approached his car, the butterfly door went up and she sat inside. Kevin and Monica stared at eachother for seconds before they spoke.
"I am marrying Pinky soon," Kevin Moore told Monica Yen, "do me a favor and meet her before the wedding."
"Wait, me! meet her?! truth is I am not ready... Am sorry," Monica Yen got uncomfortable to meet her daughter.
"You have no choice. Anytime anyway you have to meet her... she's your daughter," Kevin chose just the right words to assure Monica Yen who seemed uncomfortable about meeting her second twin for the first time in her entire life.
The following night at 8pm, Monica Yen was in a cooperate restaurant of hotel OCEAN checking constantly on the watch at her hand. While she waited, her daughter Babara Yen came out from the elevator and began to look around.
While she was still passing eyes around the place at the first floor of hotel OCEAN, at the entrance arrived Kevin Moore with Pinky walking hand in hand. There was a lady who interrupted Babara by standing abrruptly infront of her and began admiring her hair.
"Am so sorry to disturb you," she said "but you have such beautiful hair."
"Oh! thanks for appreciating," she responded to her with a smile.
"Is it okay to know the cosmetics you use to make it glow and grow this long and dark?" The lady requested while she touched it.
"Uh... uh, I.. I am sorry to tell you that my hair is naturally like this, I only comb it with a simple hair spray," she told the lady, "thank you for the compliment though!"
While the lady was about to speak more, from a near distance she saw Pinky, walking a certain direction with Kevin. The lady's eyes got stuck on Pinky and her face looked in shock. She switched her eyes back on Babara and then back to Pinky.
Babara noticed her confounded looks and turned her face to see what exactly had taken the lady's attention and to her surprise, she saw her twin sister whom she had just warned a two days ago to stay away from Kevin, walking hand in hand with the same Kevin.
"Who is Pinky now because I thought you were the one!" The lady marvelled at their identical appearance, standing infront of Babara Yen.
Babara's attention was already off the lady and she madly taken by Pinky and Kevin. With a wrathful eye she looked at them. They didn't go to the private elevator which led to Kevin's penthouse as she expected. Babara asked herself where they were heading to.
Going after them, Babara started monitoring Pinky and her fiancée Kevin, not peaceful though.
Pinky: "Am kinda uneasy about the person you want me to meet."
Kevin: "Just relax... She had always wanted to meet you and this is the least I can do especially for you my love. I believe in the end it's going to give you eternal joy."
Pinky: "I trust you sweetheart."
Kevin: "There she is. I want you to go and sit right the chair infront of her."
Pinky: "Aren't you coming with me?"
Kevin: "No, I am not you have to be on your own and share a moment together."
Pinky: "Come on Kevin! how do you except me to sit with someone I've never seen before or even know anything about?"
Kevin: "You said you trust me enough, right!"
Pinky: "Yes I do, but....!"
Kevin: "Shhhhhhhh...., just go and sit with her. Please!"
Having been convinced by her fiancée, Pinky had no choice other than to trust Kevin's intentions even though she did not know anything beyond sitting with the stranger grown up woman.
Since Babara came spying on Kevin and Pinky, in the corner she was, disguising to avoid being seen. Pinky began walking towards Monica Yen who was facing away from their direction, uncomfortably waiting while she looked at her hand watch, checking on time.
Suddenly from behind, Pinky appeared infront of Monica Yen and sat right on the chair facing her. After sitting down Monica Yen stared at her speechlessly for a few seconds and as a mother, her eyes started turning reddish, forming tears of joy.
Monica Yen quickly got out a handkerchief and cleared her eyes. Pinky was watching attentively but couldn't stand to look straight in the eyes of the woman she knew nothing about. She instead waited patiently for the woman to say something to her.
"Is that not my mother I was looking for she went to sit with?!" Babara Yen wrinkled her nose in disgust, "Gosh! this girl has guts... from my boyfriend now to my mother! I am surely going to kill her."
While Kevin Moore was planning to take a seat distant from Pinky and her mother Monica, abruptly his eyes saw Babara Yen gazing out into a distance, spying on Monica Yen and Pinky.
"Darn!" Kevin Moore exclaimed in discomfort.
Kevin jumped out of ease and started keeping an eyes on Babara. Babara's face was full of rage which provoked Kevin to track her, just in case of schemes against the meeting between her mother and twin sister.
Amidst dealing with the stirring emotion, "Forgive me for putting up such an embarrassing show infront of you." Monica Yen apologized to her daughter Pinky.
Since Pinky had no idea about who Monica Yen was to her, "It's alright Madam, "she anxiously said to her, wondering why she was twisting her face in a nervous anticipation.
Monica: "I look kinda crazy infront of you in this nervous state."
Pinky: "Hope all is well with you!"
Monica: "Yes, I... I am fine.. Only that... uh, it's just the excitement to see you."
Pinky: "Really!"
Monica: "How best would I have expressed my gratitude to finally have you on the same table!"
Pinky: "It's normal for people to see me and get excited... however, it is usually in similar and expected ways but you're different."
Monica: "If I don't tell you now Pinky, there won't be any other chance as special as this one."
Pinky: "It's alright you can tell me anything."
Monica: "Pinky! hope you won't judge me wrongly for what I am about to say to you..."
Pinky: "Feel free to tell me anything, I will understand."
Monica: "I.. I'm, am your mother Pinky!"
Pinky: "Wait! yes I promised to understand you... but I didn't say I was going to believe you, okay!"
Monica: "I knew it want come easy like that but please believe me! I gave birth to you Pinky, you're my daughter!"
Pinky: "Two nights back a girl who looks exactly like me was in my bedroom claiming to be my twin sister and she warned me to leave my fiancée alone... And now a woman shows up claiming she is my mother! My head is spinning now." "Excuse me."
Monica: "Pinky... Pinky!"
Pinky confoundedly stood up and walked out of Monica's sight. Babara was in a distance watching. She started to follow her to wherever she was going. Kevin saw Babara walking with her eyes fixed in a certain direction. Tracing where Babara was looking, Kevin saw Pinky in target.
As a smart dude, Kevin started following Babara to know why she was following Pinky yet she had an opportunity to meet her on table at the time she has been in a meeting with their mother. In corners Pinky branched and Babara Yen too as she tailed from behind.
In the lady's bathrooms Pinky entered. She walked upto the wall mirror where she stood, leaning her hands on the sink thoroughly perplexed. Within no minute Babara came inside the bathroom too upto where her twin sister Pinky was standing.
Since Pinky's head was bend down, she wasn't alert to see that the person who has entered was Babara.
"No wonder you're this stubborn," Babara said which terrified Pinky in standing upright so fast, "it confirms you're not any different from me."
"If am not mistaken, I was polite enough to visit your home and ask a little favour from you, but stubbornly you never cooperated," Babara address her concerns calmly with a pretty smile.
Pinky seemed very disturbed about the whole situation.
Pinky: "What do you want from me."
Babara: "Kevin is my boyfriend and I want you to leave him for me. That's all I want from you."
Pinky: "Do you think Kevin is willing to choose you over me? Because it is him to decide."
Babara: "The task was simple, telling him that you nolonger have anything to do with him so he can leave you alone."
Pinky: "Am sorry to disappoint you but, I truly love Kevin so much and soon we're going to be husband and wife."
Babara: "It's obvious you don't want to see tomorrow."
Pinky: "You can't scare me Babara... am ready for the fight if that's what you want!"
