250: Hallucinating?

"Wait, mama, you didn't say that we will be using a private jet today?"

The jet was already in the airport fields and Zeke was surprised why they were not using the normal passengers' route. The same way they travelled while going to New York. Daniella looked at how excited they were and Noelle was standing still holding the Jacket in her hands as if her life depended on it. Clara on the other hand was nervous. She didn't know what Damien would say when they arrive there, little did she know. 

Mirah was also excited. It was her first time flying. She squirmed in her seat as the co-pilot helped to tie her seat belt. Their hands brushed a little and Mirah was now nervous that she had done something. Daniella watched their little exchange and winked at Mirah.

Zeke wanted to jump up and down in the plane but his excitement was put on hold after he was asked to sit down because they would be flying up in the sky and she might fall from all the excitement.

"You don't seem excited as I do?" Asked Zeke after he saw Noelle busy in her thoughts. 

Noelle threw him a smile. The only thing that worried her, was a new life that they were going to face. She wished that Ashley was beside her so that the situation wouldn't be this awkward. Instead, his brother was all excited because he was going to meet Adrian. 

"I am excited, just worried, you know. Maybe we put a lot of the pressure on both mum and Aunt Clara" said Noelle.

Zeke looked at her mother and Claire, they were enjoying their flight though he was not sure if they were truly enjoying it because they were all laying on their heads sleeping, except for Clara who was just on her phone. 

"Maybe they also wanted to come, I know this is for the best, plus we already have friends. This won't be strange, we can borrow flour in case we don't have some," said Zeke.

"Are you kidding? Life in New York is one hell of a struggle, if you can't manage, tell me if someone is willing to give you flour to make a cake?" Asked Noelle.

Zeke had to reason with her. Though Noelle was worried, the only thing that their parents were worried about, was the past. They had done some harm in the past and now was their time to face them. 

Clara sat down and went through her Instagram account, the joint account they had created with Damien. She knew Damien had created a big investment in the entertainment industry. He owns a big modelling company in New York and would be recognisable. The only thing that she didn't know is if he was ready to have her. She was also not sure whether the love that was once there will be awakened or it will be a disaster. She knew the claims that she threw at him were pretty serious and they cant be forgiven. She has lived with that regret her whole life and it haunts her every day. She decided to take her phone and text, suddenly there was a message from Marcus. 

 She focused on the message and read it through;

             Dear Clara, I know you have been wanting to know the whereabouts of Damien. I didn't do a good job of hiding that from you. I know he loves you too and maybe wants you to come back, maybe the dreams that you two had together have not been fulfilled. He has struggled to have everything he wanted, though not you. Maybe you might be the piece of the puzzle that has been missing. I know he is void and doesn't have anything apart from having you. Please take care of him, he is in New York, and staying with Davids, attached below is the house number and street. I know he will be delighted to have you back.

Marcus.

Clara let out a sigh of relief and walked to the washroom. She wanted to cry but she couldn't. She had hoped that one day she would get Damien and maybe their paths will cross again but in a good way than in the past when it was all messed up.

She looked at herself in the mirror, she didn't want to shed a tear but she was super excited about this. Having Damien back has been her dream and now all of it was possible. She wiped her eyes, fixed herself and went back. She found Daniella awake and was looking outside. She didn't know what she was looking at, but one snap was enough to tell her that it was vlog time. 

In their vlog, they always exclude the kids because they didn't want someone poking their noses into their business. They explained to people that they were travelling to start a new life and everyone was happy for ye commenting on everything that they did.

Inside the office, Davids was busy, when she heard her phone chime, she was not sure why it was chiming but looking at it, she was surprised to see that it was a notification. Opening the notification, she saw a live recording of Clara and Daniella. She had to increase the light of his phone to look at the picture further but was distracted by her secretary. 

"Yeah, Lola, any problem?" Asked David trying to hide the phone away. 

"Nothing sir, just your files, I got everything we need for the meeting in the afternoon," said Lola and walked away. Davids went back to watching the video. Suddenly they were done and the video had ended. She wanted to go to watch it on their Instagram status but they did not upload it.

Suddenly a call came through his phone, looking at it, her mother was calling. She was undecided if she had to answer the phone or not. She decided to ignore it, maybe it was her mother asking if she will be attending the Gala for the hundredth time that week.

When the second call came through from her mother again, she decided to answer it.

"You didn't tell me that you had kids?" Shouted her mother from the phone. 

She looked at the phone again to be sure that her mother was the one calling and not someone else. She thought her mother had called the wrong person and went ahead to tell her that she was speaking to the wrong person.

         "Davids, I am speaking to you," insisted her mother. 

Davids had to disconnect the call and think first. 

'What is with the baby thing that she is saying? I don't even know what she is talking about, ifs it's about Rose, and she already knows about Rose and there is nothing to hide about that. Why is she asking me about this again? '

Trying to think hard, she placed her phone in silent mode and focused on her work. Although she couldn't keep the thought off her mind. She decided to text Damien to come for lunch but her text was never replied to.

Back at the Airport, The long-awaited visitors had arrived. They walked onto the plane. Damien and Mrs Vicky were waiting for them. 

Zeke and Noelle walked first, Clara and Daniella were still in the vehicle fixing themselves. They had not seen who was waiting for them. Brian promised to come and receive them. 

When Rose saw the two, he run from the vehicle and jumped at them. 

"Hey man?" Greeted Zeke when he saw him.

They hugged and knocked on childish knuckles. 

Noelle was standing behind Zeke, Rose looked at her, she didn't know whether she wanted to hug him or just shake his hand.  Instead, Rose hugged the hell out of her. Making Noelle surprised by his action.

       "How have you been?" Asked Rose. 

"Good, we just saw each other, last week, I mean it's not such a big deal, right?" Said Noelle though she couldn't even understand what she was talking about.

Vicky on seeing the two kids were stunned. She had to focus harder. Damien seeing her do that, quickly got her glasses that were safely placed on the board. 

"Thank you because whatever I am seeing is making me think I am seeing something else," said Vicky. 

"What is it?" Asked Damien trying to look at the thing that She was looking at

"Focus on those two cuties, apart from Rose, tell me what you think?" Said Vicky and Damien scrutinised his eye looking at what he was asked to do. 

Looking further, he tapped Vicky and looked into his phone. "Tell me I am hot seeing Davids here, she looks like the mini Davids, unless my eyes are not being correct."

"I thought so too, I mean look at how that girl is tall just the same height as Davids when she was five or six, give me my phone and calm Davids, she needs to explain this right now," said Vicky.

Damien gave her the phone. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. Vicky phoned Davids but she gave her some vague answers that she didn't think made sense. 

"Are you sure we are not hallucinating?" Asked Vicky.
