What's happening home

Ashanti

He was sitting in the guest room thinking about his friend who had just lost his mom, he didn't know what to do for him and what to say to him .As he was lost in his thoughts his phone rang ,it was Adolfo, 'Hey i came to drop Aife but you guys are not home...where are you guys?

'Come to Liam's home ,something happened ,' Ashanti said .'What happened?' Adolfo asked his voice seeming worried, 'Rose Aunt has passed on .'

Adolfo and Aife came into the house and saw Liam laying on the couch hugging his mom's favorite blanket ,Aife's heart was hurt ,seeing Liam like that was just so unbearable. She walked to him and gave him the tightest hug she could offer ,Ashanti went to Adolfo and he briefed him on what had taken place ,'Why didn't aunt Rose tell Liam about her sickness ,at least Liam could have gotten some time to spend with her ,man i can't even imagine how much guilt he is feeling right now ..he might be blaming himself for not being there ,for not helping and for being late to realize that his mom was never okay,' Adolfo said .He walked towards Liam and dragged him to stand up ,he held his shoulders tight and made him face him, 'Liam i am so sorry you lost your mom in this way but you should know it's not your fault ...you didn't know ...she didn't tell you and we don't know why ...you don't know why .Now you have cried enough ,it's time you wiped your tears and start planning her farewell and think of all the good times you had with her.'

'He is right ,your mom would want you to be happy, she would want you to remember her in a good, happy way and not like this ..you have cried ..it's enough now,' Aunt Jia said as she walked inside the house coming from the mortuary. Ashanti got a call from his aunt Miri ,'Aunt Miri ,'he said .'Fynn how are you?' she asked .

'I am fine and you?'

'Ashanti i don't have much time , i want you to come home as soon as possible ,listen when you come home don't go to the palace ...come meet me on K4-15 ,' Aunt Miri said .

'Aunt what do you mean i should come home ,i can't i have somethings i need to fix before i come home ..and why should i meet you at K4-15 ..you know no one is allowed that side ,'he said walking out of the house. 'Listen Ashanti just do what i am saying ,'she said and hung up the call. Ashanti was confused what was going on He walked back into the house ,'So when is the funeral taking place?' Adolfo asked .'It has to happen within two days...that's what she wanted,'Aunt Jia Li said .

'Okay...we will help with the arrangements just tell us and it will be done ,'Ashanti said as he sat next to Adolfo, 'She wanted to be cremated ,so we need to prepare for that and she said to dress her in white ,'Liam said .Ashanti couldn't stop thinking about what his aunt said ,the last he remembered his aunt never stayed in Planet k4 ,he heard rumors that she had a family somewhere else possibly earth and now she is back in planet K4 and tells him to come home and not go to the palace ,it all seemed suspicious and shady .

'Ashanti,'Aife called out to him,'Mmh,'he said as he snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her .'Come with me ,' she said as she stood up and walked outside ,he followed her .'What's wrong ?' he asked as he saw her shiver ,'Liam's mother died not because of a sickness ,it was punishment for what she did years ago. Her funeral cannot take place without Liam knowing the truth about the past...Take him to the tree ,' she said as her eyes were now a glowing blue .'What are you talking about...what punishment ?What tree?' he asked confused .

'The tree that he used to spend time with...take him there ,'she said before her eyes became normal. She felt dizzy and almost fell but Ashanti caught her just in time, 'Let's sit ,' he said as he sat down with her. 'My aunt called ...it seems like something is wrong at home ,she says i should come as quick as i can but i have to here with Liam ,' Ashanti says .'Everything is happening for a reason ...all will be revealed sooner than planned ,we all need to get ready as it is time things were set right ,' Aife said .As soon as she finished saying that she became super weak ,Ashanti held her while they were sitting ,'Are you okay?' he asked worried about what she said and also about her sudden weakness ,'I am tired Ashanti ,every time i get this visions or i hear this voices i feel tired and dizzy after,'Aife said as she held tight onto Ashanti's waist .'You will be okay trust me...you will be okay,' he said as he caressed her back.

'Aife can you tell me more about your mom ,where she goes etc.'

'Well my mom is not like me ,she is a lot lighter ,a mix breed .She has lovely hazel eyes and nice silky curly hair .She speaks fluent French and this other language, she goes to work for a month or a week and comes back home .Whenever she goes she wear this beautiful uniform that seems like it was made for royalty .I do not know where she goes or what she does whenever she goes there but i know it's very important because she brings nothing related to it home or never talks about it even when i ask ,' Aife says .

'Your aunt almost looks like my aunt ,hazel eyes ,light skin and also silky hair ...My mom always insists that i should come back home ,so that i learn the ways of our kingdom and also start connecting to my roots but she doesn't understand that i have a family here and i have started a new life here on Earth that i don't think i can ever go back home ,because my home is here with you all,' Ashanti said .

'You can go home, do what your aunt says you must do but firstly stay with your friend as he will need you the most .'

Ashanti and Aife sat there staring into the night sky ,Ashanti felt this deep connection as he held aife in his arms and Aife also felt the same way ,so connected more than when she was with her mom. They looked at each other, 'You feel it too,right?' Aife said. Ashanti nodded his head as he held her cheek .'I feel it ,it's like we are connected by blood .'

'It's because you guys are connected ,'Adolfo said to them ,they looked at him as he walked to sit next to them. 'You could probably be twins ...Aife has Vitiligo on her right eye and you have Vitiligo on your left eye ...both your hair strands are white and Ashanti don't tell me you can't see the design pattern on your collarbone is similar to hers,' Adolfo said. 'What ..no we can't be twins,' Ashanti said as he looked at Aife,'Yes we can't be ...My mom stays in Congo and Ashanti's parents stay somewhere different,'Aife said .

'Yeah maybe but maybe i am also right...you both if you look properly look so much alike ,i thought i was crazy but even Liam mentioned it so i guess i am not the only one who sees it .'

Ashanti looked at Aife and at that moment everything came crushing to him that Aife looked a little bit like his dad but he thought he just missed his dad ,Aife also realized the same but then questions came crushing in ....What was happening ?Was what Adolfo saying true ?
