the men of my life

Chapter 3

The next morning, she was woken up by her excited son.

- Mom, mom, wake up, you are late?

I was surprised that I who was always the first one to wake up, how could I sleep so late. I look at my watch and see that it is six in the morning. I recheck the time in my cell but it was the same.

- Morning honey, why are you up so early?

- Mom, look I made a birthday card for Timmy. How is it?

- It's beautiful honey. Take your card to the kitchen and wait for me, I'll be there after I brush my teeth.

- Hurry up, mom. Nanny Carla will be here soon.

- Don't worry, you won't be late.

I immediately run to the bathroom, if not, Robbie would come and fetch me. Arriving in the kitchen, he was at the table, busy coloring the card. I make the usual breakfast. When he suddenly asks me:

- Did you buy Timmy's gift?

- Yes, it is already in the car.

- How is the cake?

- As per your idea, Aunty Tina ordered for a football playground.

- When will the others be at the place of Timmy?

- At one sharp.

- OK.

- Thank you, honey. Anything, I could be of your help?

- No, mom. It's great.

He then goes back to his drawings. Sometimes, I think that he is more grown up than a six year old. He is everything to me. He was the only one who has kept me alive when I thought that I lost my sanity.

After Robbie has gone with Carla and Timmy for their swimming session, Kamilla took a shower. She called Tina to know whether she has to go to the supermarket/mall before calling at her place.

- Hi, Tina, how you anything to buy before I come?

- No dear. Everything's ok. You just have to come.

- O.K.

When she arrives at Tina's place, James was holding a crying baby and Tina was preparing her food. Having mercy on James, she took Tammy in her arm who instantly stop crying.

- Hey, how did you do it?

- I'm her godmother, she knows how to torture her dad who is mostly taken up with his work.

- Not all the times.

- I'm joking. She knows that I will be here and want me to pamper her.

At the same time, Tina who was joining them, told her that if she was not in the designing, she would made a great kindergarten teacher.

After having fed the baby, Tina put her to sleep and went in the kitchen to talk to Kamilla.

- Kathy called yesterday. She said she was in town and has been to your mother's place.

- Aye, I know. But haven't met with her, Kamilla said.

- Don't you want to know what happen?

- I don't know. Perhaps, I'm afraid of the truth.

- But it will make things easy to know. Hey promise me you will call her. She seems very distraught.

- I will. Matt also has come.

- She also told me that she is at Matt's apartment as she did not want to burden your parents.

Kamilla remained silent.

At 1300 hrs, all the friends of Timmy arrived. When latter came, he was surprised and also very happy. It was a wonderful party. Everyone left around 1700 hrs. Kamilla and her son had dinner at Timmy's place.
