Altogether

Sylvia called Mira one day inquiring about their mom and where she was living as she wanted to visit her since she had heard that she had come to the city.

The next day she arrived and Eva was happy to see her. Two days later Lucia also came with her two children.

That night they had planned to talk to their mother about the drugs and her health.

Amongst her siblings Mira was closest to Lucia so when she had found out about their mom doing drugs the first person she told was her and though her mom had told her not to tell them, she knew that she would still take the drugs behind their backs.

Also Sylvia had been told aday ago by their mom. However that night Eva was too happy to listen to the advice being given to her.

She would simply nod her head and promise never to take the drugs but her eyes were glued to the clothes and shoes that Lucia and Sylvia had bought for her.

She didn't even ask Sylvia what she was doing for a living and where she was staying since it had been years since they last saw each other.

While in the kitchen doing the dishes Sylvia and Mira were talking. "I can't believe mom's still the same, "Sylvia said.

"Did you see her face all the time we were talking to her? She was literally drooling over the clothes we bought for her," she added.

Yeah Mira said and looked at Sylvia who had tears in her eyes. It's okay don't cry she patted her arm. She's our mom after all. Mira added.

"Hahaha yeah she is and we can't do anything about it," Sylvia said blowing her eyes with her hand to get the tears away.

"Hmm at least we have talked to her" Mira said with a smile. "The rest is hers to do even all the aunties and uncles have talked to her about drinking. haven't they? "she added.

Sylvia nodded her head and felt better. "It's almost 9pm you go back don't worry I will finish up here ," Sylvia told Mira. Mira nodded her head and wiped her hands with a small towel.

In the living room little Rose came running towards Mira and hugged her waist. Amongst all of them she loved Mira the most.

"Aunt Mira come on let's play."she pulled Mira's hand. "Eehh Rose don't you want your aunt to rest and besides it's already late. Come here. "Lucia warned.

The little girl pouted her small lips and Mira felt she was too adorable. She was only 4 years old with big black eyes that were cute. She actually looked more like her father whom Mira had only seen in photos of Lucia.

The other boy looked more like Lucia and he was only 6 months old.

Mira knelt down beside her and held her little hands. "Hmm..... She said with a finger on her lips, how about I come back tomorrow and we play hmm?" Mira said.

"You're serious? You will swing me around like yesterday?" Rose squealed excitedly. Of course, Mira nodded her head and that's when the little girl let her go.
