REINCARNATED

16

Andrew drove his mum to the Airport. It was just about 20 minutes before her flight to Paris. His mum had eventually decided to go since her friends wouldn't stop pestering her and also her kids telling her how good it would be to get away.

Andrew recalled how much she used to talk about wanting to travel when they were growing up. She wasn't able to do much of it and that's why she was kind of excited when Rita chose that as what she wanted to do. Following her passion and doing what her mum couldn't.

"We are here," Andrew said, getting out of the car and helping his mum with her luggage's.

Rita and Krystal also got out of the car.

"I hope I will see you when I get back?" Andrew's mum asked, facing Rita.

"Mum, I told you I am not going anywhere. I am staying mum," Rita said and her mum smiled.

She hugged her mum tightly.

Andrew kissed his mum's cheek and bed her goodbye.

She moved to where Krystal had been watching silently.

"I hope when I get back, you and Andrew will have great news for me," she said, looking down at Krystal's stomach.

She smiled and Krystal did the same. She knew what she meant and was trying to say.

Krystal had never even thought of that and it had never even crossed her mind.

"Mum!! Not now," Andrew said and she turned to him and smile.

"Wouldn't that be a great news though," she said.

"Mum, you're going to be late for your flight," he said and then he hugged her before she left.

They all got back into the car and Andrew started to drive the car.

"Can you stop for me at the mall, I want to get something," Krystal said.

"I won't be able to stay. I need to get some work done at the office," Andrew said.

"It's alright. I will be fine."

"I will send the driver to pick you when you're done. Just let me know when."

"Alright."

"I can come with you, I need to get something's at the mall also," Rita said.

Krystal wished the floor could open and swallow her. The last thing she wanted was another interaction with Rita. She wasn't in the mood for any of it.

"That's good then. You two can get to know each other well," Andrew said.

"I can't wait," Rita said with a sly smile.

Krystal just couldn't wrap her head around one reason why Rita didn't like her. Everyone likes her, she thought. She always was that lucky and never had an issue with anyone.

Several minutes later, they got to the mall. Krystal and Rita got down from the car.

"Bye, call me if you need anything."

"Take my card," Andrew said to Krystal.

"I will be fine, I have mine," she said.

"Don't be stubborn now. Just take it. You took it before, why not now," he said.

Rita was waiting behind wondering what they were talking about.

"You and Rita can use it," he added.

Krystal took the card from him and walked up to where Rita was standing.

"So, what do you need to buy?" Rita asked Krystal.

"Just some clothes," Krystal said.

Shopping's like this, she always does it with her friend Trisha. She had called Trisha earlier today but she had a lot of work to do so she couldn't make it.
