I open the door with Stan (the elderly man lol) behind me, I see Michael pacing back and forwards once he spots me he comes running over taking me in his arms
"Oh my god Anna, where have you been?" He scolded "I was so worried, Michelle rang me and said you took off from the building in tears, what did he say. You tell me right now"
"Oh cut it out Michael, she's here know" Mama says as she gives me a kiss on the forehead
"And who is this"? Mama says
I turn to Stan and introduce him and tell Mama how I met Mr Stan and how I ran into his car, Michael looked so angry
"I'm going to kill him" he muttered
Mama shakes Stan's hand and thanks Him for taking me to the hospital while scolding me about being reckless again
It looks as though something is blossoming between Mama and Stan, turns out they are the same age and have both lost their life partners

We are packed and our flight is in an hour, we get ready to leave and say farewell to Stan. Michael takes us to the airport and as we are waiting he is furiously tapping on his phone. He looks up and sees my confused face
"Well I haven't been home in a while so it looks like I just cashed in some leave" he says as he drapes an arm around my shoulders
"Really Michael you won't get in trouble?"
"No the boss owes me big time and I also called him a dickhead so looks like we're all going home today"
I jump up smash him into a big hug while I look at Mama, she's trying to look cool as she's crying.
I pause "oh uh what about Michelle?"
"Well I don't trust her to behave so her and the girls are coming to"
"Aaaaah" I scream as I jump up and down
"Well I can't wait to check out these natives" I hear a familiar chant
"Lucy!" I shout and run up to her
"You better behave sweetheart I will be in your homeland in a few days" Phill chimes
I run up to him and give him a hug and telling him thank you, sure enough Michelle Samuel and Megan roll in with big smiles on there faces as I hug each one, I'm so happy
"We know sugar, we wanted to see you smile again" Michael says
"So are these the naughty girls you were telling me about Michael? Perhaps I better keep my eyes on them hmm" Mama says with a genuine smile on her face
"Mama this is Michelle Lucy and Megan"
"Nice to meet you girls and I hope you enjoy our motherland but if any of you misbehave I will smack you with my tokotoko"
"It means a very thick peace of wood the elders walk around with, sort of like a cane" I mutter
"Yeah they like to abuse us with it" Michael tries to whisper but Mama hears him and slaps the back of his head
"Mama" he whines
We all laugh before the speaker tells us it's time to board our flight
We bid farewell to Phill and Samuel and promise to see them in a few days
And board the plane
