A few hours later (3.00am)
*knock knock * "Ngubani?" asked Aurora's mother, still delirious from her slumber. Checking the time on the wall clock, she hmmm3.31am who disturbs at this time. "Ngubani", she quickly asks again.
[who is it?]
"Yimi Ndodakazi yami, puedes abrirme la puerta, por favor!!" quickly responds Aurora's maternal grandfather Ricardo. Still in her delirious state, she regains her senses and dashes towards the door and opens it for her father.
[It's me, can you please open the door for me please]
Opening the door she quickly welcomes her father inside the house.
"My dear, how are you? You haven't sent a letter in a long time. What's wrong huh,are you having financial problems? Is my Rosa okay? What is it my flower? tell me " asked Ricardo, a worrying look adorning his face.
"Oh papa!! So am not important eyy??" questioning her father jokingly.
"My flower, you know very well how dear you are to me. Never ever think less of yourself, do you understand my flower." as he told those words lovingly to her daughter.
Sensing the emotions of her father, she quickly understood where these feelings where coming from how could she forget how they came from insecurities and fears from within after his beloved wife(mother) was kidnapped by the Dutch mafia for not showing loyalty to it thorough the war.

Mandeline's mother was always a fierce warrior. During the struggle for freedom ,she was Quite vicious during her kills many trembled at the utterance of her name Naniska. A beautiful Latina with her White eye, yes white eyes unknown how she got such a color . The eyes holding so much coldness, inciting fear in the enemy's hands. Due to all the fear increasing because of her name she craved for more power. After several years,during one of the many battles, she found Ricardo quite oddly if she may say so herself. The young lad with hair tied in a bun. Wearing nothing but fine clothing sitting near the fire at a bar further away from people.
What a shy fellow he was, yielding feminine grace and features, that cute pink cupid bow lips that awoke a beast in Naniska. The enchantment to the lad led to their union after a few years.
Their marriage life was quite simple due to Naniska retiring early due to her husband giving birth to her beautiful girl Mandeline . It wasn't quite shocking due to Ricardo's submissive behavior and motherly nature he had.
After several years of marriage life. News broke out of the war between the Ndebele mafia and The Dutch Mafia. Due to Naniska's power the rivals wanted her on their mafia.
But alas Naniska had no desire what's or ever in those regards and turned a blind eye to their requests. Oh how wrong of her to do for thus led to her abduction by the Dutch mafia.

#Ricardo's pov#
I can't believe I'm back here again, I can't keep leaving in the past now. She's gone for good, she'll never come back. But why do I have this hope, this flicker inside my heart, that my amor is still alive, and is still out there.
No no no no, I can't keep doing this how will my flower react if I keep acting like this. It's better I keep trying to conceal these emotions, I can't ruin my flower's life right now, she's finally moved on from that wretched man hmmm I never liked that man in the slightest thank God his gone.
