(Recap:Karen learns the truth about her real mother and twin sister).

Karen meets Stanley at the Café…

Yesterday mom told me about my real mother Stanley. Honestly I don’t know what to do. Should I reach out and find my mother or look for my twin first? Karen I am your boyfriend and I love you, I will stand by your side no matter what you choose to do. I know Stan what if I try to find my sister first then together we can meet my mother? Will you help me? Of Couse I will, let’s check on Facebook what is her name? let me ask mum quickly. Hello mom when I used to tell you that I was dreaming of a plane crash and I was holding my sister do you remember the name I told you? Sweetheart when you used to get nightmares you used to call out to your sister just like how Jason used to call for his twin. Your sisters name is Alice and Jason used to call Stanley. Thanks mom , Stan is with me we are trying to find them so I’ll be home by supper time. Okay love let me know when you are on the way home and tell Stan that I want him to join us for supper. Yes mom I will tell him.

So what did your mom say? Well she wants you to join us for supper and my sisters name is Alice. Mom also mentioned the name of Jason’s twin whose name is Stanley maybe if we find one of them we will find the other? Karen what is your mother’s name? Margret why?

Hey guys I haven’t seen you since Nia and Roy’s wedding how are you’ll? Hey Finn says Stanley we are well thanks how is Nia coping? I know that Roy put you in charge of watching over her while she gets her memory back. She is still coming to terms with the fact that her parents are not here also I have been watching to make sure that her uncle doesn’t try anything to hurt her. What do you mean Finn? This one time Nia went to the shop to get groceries while I stood in the shadows. I overheard some men say “ that is the girl we were hired to kill. Her uncle wants her dead before she can get her memory back to take the hospital away from him”

Since then I have been close by making sure she was safe. Finn where is she now? Roy is with her so I have some time for a coffee break. That is wonderful Finn, you know while you are here maybe you can help us I say. How can I help you Karen? Well since you are a bodyguard you should be able to track down people right? Yes Karen I can but who do you want me to find? Stanley gives a breakdown of our situation to Finn. I have an idea but it’s a long shot it may or may not work says Finn. Okay what do you want us to do? First I need you to call your mom and tell her that Stanley’s family wants to meet your family. You do that while Stanley calls his mother. Excuse me let me just call mum quickly

Finn why do you want my family to meet Karen’s family? Think about this could Alice your sister be Karen’s real sister while Jason is your brother? You know what Finn you may be on to something. That is why I suggested that the families meet. Thank you so much for your help Finn. You are welcome let me know if I am right I have to get going Roy sent me a message he needs help trying to find Sam bye and all the best.

Hello mom how is work? Going well so far been busy but its lunch break now so what do you need to tell me? Mom I told Karen that I want her family to meet our family at her house for dinner. Okay Stan I don’t mind but why do we have to meet at her house? Karen’s mum invited me for dinner and I though what a better way if both the families meet at the same time? Stanley what are you planning to do because as far as I know, you love Karen but now you are saying we meet the family are you planning to propose to her? Oh mom It still fascinates me how you ways understand my heart’s desire . Stanley I am so proud of you. Do you have the ring already? Yes mom I found the perfect one this morning before meeting Karen at the Café. I need to call Alice quickly before she makes plans. See you later love you mom bye.

Jason p.o.v

Today is the day I am going to ask my girlfriend Alice to marry me. Alice and I met on the first day of university I remember that day as if it was yesterday. This amazing girl was using this pink skirt with a blue top and black high heal boots , she looked amazing and she was walking with her best friend Nia Brown. Jason why are you looking at Alice like that? I hear my friend Roy asking me. Who is Alice? Wait and see. Nia I hear Roy say as the girls walk past us. Nia turns and looks at Roy then she whispers something to her friend as they both start walk toward us. Nia what are you doing here? You are supposed to be at the hospital with uncle David. Yes Roy dad and I have a meeting with the board of directors but that is only at 12 besides I came to drop Alice off at campus her car wasn’t starting so she called me to drop her. You know since you are here could you drop her at home later please? Oh where are my manners sorry Jason I got caught up in talking to Roy that I didn’t notice you standing here. Jason this is my friend Alice and Alice this is Jason…

Present time

Hi Alice how are you? Well thanks and you babe? Good thanks so what do you feel like having today Chinese, Indian or pizza? How about pizza. Alice I wanted to ask you something? Suddenly my phone starts to ring and Alice phone also rings. Hello mom are you okay? Normally you don’t call unless something happened is Karen okay? Relax son everything is fine actually I phoned to tell you that Karen is bringing Stanley and his family for supper to meet us so please come home soon. I have a feeling that Stanley wants to marry Karen maybe that is why he wants to meet us. Sure mom I will be there. Once I cut the call I see Alice is also done on her call. Alice mom called she wants me home for supper, really that is weird because my brother called and he also wants me home soon but he never told me why, so I guess we will have to have pizza another day sorry babe maybe tomorrow we can meet up I’ll call you.

Supper time..The doorbell rings…(Ding Dong).

I will get it, It must be Stan and his family says Karen as she runs to open the door, with great excitement she hugs everyone and welcomes them inside. Thank you for having us Mrs Smith this is my mother Margret, father Paul and sister Alice. I quickly turn around when I hear the name Alice. What is my girlfriend doing here I thought she was having supper with her family.

I watch as mom hugs Stanley’s mother I see them cry hysterically whilst everyone looks in amazement, I wonder why. Mom and Mrs Williams are you okay have a seat I will get you some water. Here have some water. After the mothers stop crying they say “children there is something we need to tell you”
