Chapter 2

"V!" Even though we were still far away we could already hear Oceanie's voice happily to see Hivo. Agatha was behind her smiling at us.

"How was the trip?" She asked us.

"Tiring," I said. Hivo kissed Agatha's cheek and Oceanie kissed me on my cheek too.

"Hello baby girl," I said and bent down to kiss her on her forehead.

"Hello Aunt Ri,"

The two children no longer waited for us and immediately ran inside the house.

"What happened? I received your text last night." Agatha asked me worriedly.

"Let's just talk inside. Where are they?"

"They are on the way here," she replied. We were talking about our other friends.

When we got inside, everyone was busy preparing. Agatha's husband was not here because he had something to do so we were the only ones here and also the helpers.

"What happened? Spill it Ri," Agatha couldn't wait for me to tell her about what happened yesterday so I started telling her about what happened at the airport and when Hannah saw us in the hotel.

(Flashback)

Hannah waited for me because I was still taking care of my son. I changed his clothes and told him to sleep. My son didn't ask too much about Hannah because he was already sleepy so he was unaware of what was going on around him. If he wasn't drowsy, he would have been blabbering on Hannah for sure.

"He looks exactly like my brother even the way he speaks or acts." Hannah said while looking at my son who sounds asleep. I agree with her because in short period of time I have been serving Steven, I, sometimes saw him as the mature version of my son.

"How old is he?" She asked.

"5" I answered.

"I see. But why?" I know what she meant why. Why did I hide the child? Why didn’t I introduce him to her brother?

"Because your brother didn’t remember what happened to us 6 years ago. So he'll be surprised if he finds out that he had a child with me. What happened to us was just a one night stand only and he was drunk at that time." I explained.

"Really? Doubt that. I even remember how you looked even though I was young then," she said that widened my eyes.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked.

"I was with my brother that time at the bar. I excused myself for a while to pee and when I came back, you two were talking so I just didn't show up and let you enjoy the company with each other. That's why I dared to approach you earlier because Hivo looks like my brother and I assumed already that your son is my brother's son."

I was stunned by what she said.

"I don't know what to say." I said.

“You know my brother but why you didn’t tell him about your son? It’s been 6 years.”

I sighed. “I just found out this month where he live. I thought he lived in Canada the reason why I couldn't find him for the past years. It was my friends who found him him since my son looks like Steven, so they suspected that he might be Hivo's father and they are right.”

Hannah laughed at what I said. Hivo’s appearance looked exactly like his father so it’s easy to tell that my son is Steven’s son.

"Well .. yeah, he looks like my brother." Hannah said.

"Hivo wants to meet his dad. As his mother, I want to make sure that his dad is a good guy. There’s a possibility that he will not accept my son especially he has a girlfriend now. So I disguised as his maid to get to know him better for me to decide if I’ll introduce my son to him or not." I told Hannah with honesty.

"His girlfriend? I don't like that b*tch," Hannah said.

"It's not my right to interfere in your decision in life. And you're right that you should know my brother first. It’s doesn’t mean that he’s my brother I'll support him. He's an ass so he needs to change first. But he's kind sometimes. I can guarantee you with that.” she said, smiling.

"Thank you," I said. She's nice unlike to her brother.

"What is your name by the way?" she laughed then. Of course, we've been talking for a while but here we are, she doesn’t know my name yet.

"Rialyn. Just call me Ri or Ria." I said.

"It's nice meeting you, Ria. Anyway, I just want to clarify with you regarding what you're saying to my brother’s girlfriend. That b*tch, Amanda, she's claiming that my brother is the father of her baby. Steven denied it but the witch still insists so we don't have a choice but to shelter her, so that after her delivery, we can do the DNA tests. We don't want a scandal.” she said full of astonishment.

"My parents are pressuring my brother for the new heir but I don't want that witch to inherit our legacy. Even though my brother is an ass, he is kind sometimes. They are done for so long so when he said that the child was not his, I believed him.” She added then stood up and approached my son.

"But I guess, I shouldn't stress myself anymore. Your son is the firstborn of my brother so he should just be his heir."

My eyes widened at what she said.

"Please don't tell that. I don’t want Steven's wealth. I can raise my son on my own. All I want is for him to grow up away from trouble." I said. I don’t want to put myself and my child in their chaos.

I don’t want to hurt my son.

"I respect your decision Ri. I also won't tell my brother even if you don't ask me. I need to see first that he is responsible for his life." She said and smiled.

"I'd rather you be my sister-in-law than that b*tch," she said making me blush. This is embarrassing! It never crossed my mind that Steven and I would be getting along. All I want is to indulge my son in his desire to meet his father.

"Can I visit my nephew? Can I introduce myself as her aunt? Can I borrow her even for a moment? Promise, I will be careful." She said full of pleading.

I don't know but even we just have met, I felt like we'd known each other for decades.

"It's okay with me. But he should get to know you first and he should get used to you. We'll only be here in Canada for a while, we'll go home next week." I said.

"All right. Can I have your address there? And your number as well, if it's okay?"

"Sure," I said and gave her my address and cellphone number then she bid her goodbye and leave.

The next day, I woke up early because I felt that my son who was next to me, was now awake.

"Good morning mama," I heard my son's enthusiastic greetings and he smiled happily.

"Good morning son," I said and kissed him on both of his cheeks and he laughed because it tickles to his part.

"Mama, where's the beautiful lady last night?" Hannah immediately entered my mind. Oh! so Hivo saw her last night.

"She's in his room son but we'll meet her later. She'll join us for breakfast."

Hivo's face suddenly lit up and he jumped for joy. We immediately did our morning rituals and then we went down to meet Hannah. The facilities here in this hotel are complete and they have a mini resto at the ground floor and all are well-accommodated that's why I like it. Simple yet cozy.

"Oh! Hi, darling," Hannah said as we approached her at the table. She knelt slightly to match the height of my son who was looking at his aunt.

"Hello," Hivo said a little shyly.

"Hi, Hivo. Do you know me?" Hannah asked.

"No but I saw you last night in our room. I wasn't able to talk to you because I'm sleepy. I'm sorry."

Aw! My baby is so adorable! It makes me proud to be his mother.

"It's okay darling. By the way, I am your aunt, Hannah."

"You're so pretty Aunt Hannah. My name is Hivo." My son answered enthusiastically and when I looked at Hannah she was already looking at me.

"Hello, Hivo. C'mon, let's eat. I already ordered the food." Hannah said and we sat down at the round table which wasn't spacious for the three of us.

Hannah and Hivo started talking now. I know this sounds weird but I have no choice but to get along with Hannah. One more thing, she’s nice and kind so I hope I didn’t make a mistake of trusting her.

After all, her brother is Steven and I believe blood is thicker than water.

"Say bye to Aunt Hannah, son." I said to my son as we were going to Agatha's house.

"Bye Aunt Hannah," Hivo said kindly to Hannah who is now crying because she still wants to be with my child.

"Can I come with you, Ri?" Hannah said and I just laughed. She frowned a bit.

"You have a meeting to attend remember?" I said and she frowned even more.

"Can I come with you baby Hivo?" She said cutely to my son. Hivo turned to me as if asking for help on how to answer Hannah.

"Aunt Hannah, mama, and I, will go to aunt Agatha's house and after that, we will find my papa." I sighed and tried to smile at Hannah. Hivo didn't know that Hannah was his father's sister. Hannah didn't disclose her relationship with his father so I'm thankful for that.

"Don't worry baby Hivo. For surepapa  loves you so much. Besides, your mama and I are here for you." She said and kissed my son on both of his cheeks. Soon we said goodbye to her and headed straight for Agatha's house.

(End of flashback)

After I talked to Agatha, I just see her jaw dropped on the floor.

"What a small world," she said.

"Indeed."
