Author's POV

" Are you sure of going back there? He will be there as well, and you don't want the kids to be exposed to such drama at their naive age " Salma , said to her husband ' Salim.
" I am just as worried as you, but I have to fulfill their Grandpa's wish. " Salim said, rather assuring himself.
" You are right - may Allah bless him, and guide us. " Salma said and he replied.
" Ameen "

" Rayhan " Rayhana , his twin called, knocking on his door angrily, as she screamed almost her whole voice out.

" Yes, Canary." He said and she frowned before screaming again.
" You are not even ready ! "
He scrunched his face in confusion before saying.
" Where we going somewhere ? "
She annoyingly said.
" The flight ! "

" Oh my God " he said and rushed into the bathroom, after getting ready, he took his laptop, phones and his luggage alongside other things before leaving.

" Right about time ? " Rayhana said as the driver drove them and their parents, to the airport.

" Can you stop playing that silly video game of yours , it is disturbing to my ears. " Rayhana said .

" The volume is low, and I am using earplugs ! " Rayhan defended himself, and Rayhana huffed before going back to reading an online story.

" Kids, settle down. The plane is landing. " Salma said and they peeped through the window, seeing the view .

" Ugh ! Why didn't we use the private jet, dad ? " Rayhan asked and Salim replied.
" It is up for maintenance. "

" Whoa ! " The twins exclaimed on seeing the busy road and cities.

" I need to face time Mariam. " Rayhana said before video calling her friend ' Maryam.

" Hi Maryam. " Rayhana called.
" Hi Rayahana, how's Nigeria ? " Mariam asked, and Rayhana smiled.
" It's actually amazing, I'll send you pictures of the hills and sceneries later, bye. " She said and the line went dead.

" Aren't we there yet ? I am so hungry and starving. " Rayhan said.
" That's repetition, they mean the same thing. " Rayhana said and Rayhan growled.
" Whatever, I am just so hungry, the flight really got out my energy. " He said.

" Here we are " Salim said with a very low zeal and happiness.
" Oh my God, it is so...so.... beautiful, it has modern design, yet screams Nigeria. " Rayhana said squealing.
" I hope it has food inside. " Rayhan said and Rayhana rolled her eyes.

The door opened and when they walked in, different people stealing glances at them.

Rayhan just gazed everywhere, hungry . Salim took them in a room that had a large space, and a king sized bed. There, they met an old man, he wasn't that old, but dark circles formed around his eyes.
" Father ! " Salim called in tears.
" How are you father ? " Salma asked in concern.
" I am fine my children, Oh my God Salim, your children are all grown up. " He said and the twins couldn't resist the urge to hug him.
" Salamualaykum Grandpa. " They said and he replied in accordance.
" Father will talk to you kids later, go have some rest. Mami, take them to their rooms. " Salim said and they nodded escorting the maid to drop them at different rooms.
