HIS TRUE BEAUTY

She decided to call me today , I only talk with her whenever I visit her family.

“I missed you so much Jessi”

She said in tears, smiling at me.

I broke down too, brushing my wet eyes off with my hands.

“I miss you more Bea”

I replied in between sobs, she smiled admirably, I did the same.

We had that kind of connection that is greater than just friends, she is my family.

“How about your body?”

She asked me, looking concerned.

“Well thankfully, I am good and sound , it’s all bygone, and about those demons Bruno helped and put them all behind bars for what they did to me”.

“I am so so happy to hear that , you look chubby and healthier than before, I am so happy for Jessi, I hope this time around, things end good for both of us, you deserve love and happiness too”she said.

“Of Course Bea.. I”

I heard a baby’s cry.

I ignored thinking maybe it’s her neighbor’s not until a toddler walked up to her and handed her his broken toy.

It was so unexpected that Beauty wanted to end the call but it was too late.

My mind went haywire, I don’t know how or what was running in my mind but her answer to my question will definitely clear things up.

“Wait a minute, Bea. is that… oh my gosh , is it what am thinking , Bea you have a baby?”

I screamed my head off happily.

“Shhh! Don’t scream, yes he is my Baby, well you got me”Bea blushed consoling the 2 yrs old boy in her arms.

I smiled at her.

“He is so cute, he looks just like his dad, he is Bruno’s identical twin, so adorable”.

I could tell by her facial expression when I said that she doesn’t want to talk about Bruno.

After a few minutes of silence I finally started a conversation first.

“Did he know?”

She sadly shook her head, avoiding my eyes.

“Not even my family, you are the first to know, my period was late before the accident, I was suspicious though not sure, I don’t know how he survived that hit as fragile as he was , still healthy then three months, later it was confirmed, he was the reason I was able to start afresh and an encouragement to me, he was my strength back then, each time he kicks I smiled and fight harder, I’m glad everything’s okay”she replied.

Then her boy started peeking her cheek. He was happy his mother was able to mend his broken toy.

“Awwww! Cutie, he is such a sweetheart, adorable”

I continued screaming happily.

“A big sweetheart”I said again, Beauty made him look into the screen.

He chuckled looking at the video in front of him.

“Yes, you are!”I snapped at him, touching my tab screen , as if to touch his face.

“Please don’t tell anyone about Bruno”Beauty said suddenly with a serious face, putting the kid down.

“Bruno?”I was confused.

“I named him Bruno junior, he is currently a child model at our company”Beauty replied, and smiled sadly at her son.

“I am so happy to hear that, my little boy is a star already”.

Then I got even more serious and turned at Bea.

“You must have missed Bruno so much, you have to tell him about Junior”.

I stated.

She wanted to cry but held back, her eyes still wet.

“Well Junior, meet your godmother, aunty Jessi, ”Beauty said to junior.

She changed the topic and I couldn’t help but jump into it.

“Godmother?”I asked in surprise.

“Gaw moma”Junior repeated.

I was in tears, smiling at how adorable my godson was when he said that he is so cute for this world.

“I love you so much son, thanks Beauty I wish I can hug him already, but when are you planning on telling Bruno?”

I decided to bring it up again.

Her face tightened.

“Never I guess”.

She replied.

“Come on Bea.. this isn’t a fair judgement at least hear Bruno out, I beg you”.

She knitted her brows.

“Let’s not talk about Bruno please,….. how is everyone at the company?”

“Well… Shell wanted to replace you”.

“Yes, she told me”.

“Really? And you agreed to that, don’t you think it’s a bad idea because I am worried Bea, what if something happens between her and Bruno.. do you know how sad Bruno will be if he eventually finds out?”

I asked curiously.

“My sister got a soft spot for Bruno, maybe it’s their fate , I also think Drew like me more than just a friend, he is like a father figure to my son, so maybe it’s fate after-all”.

“Drew? The Thai guy, oh Beauty! To hell with that fate, you and Bruno are meant to be, can’t you see that yet? Beano is written boldly in the sky and sealed already, don’t deny it even Junior here is an evidence of your love for each other, you know what I’m taking about”.

“Beano? What is Beano?”She asked, amused and confused.

“Your name is Bruno, I made it up , how do you like that?”I said excitedly to her.

“Aaam. m Beano”Junior snapped loudly.

I laughed surprised at his quick learning.

“No… you are Bruno Junior .. say Bruno”Beauty corrected.

“Beano,”Junior replied.

“Bruno junior BRUUUUNO JUUUUNIOR”Beauty tried again , making him watch her lips.

“Beano”.

He replied innocently .

“Yeah! You go son!! you are the no 1 Beano shipper love ya”.

I cheered loudly with a tiny clap.

Bea shook her head with a broad smile, done with us.

“It’s time I send him to you, he seems like he wants a second mother”.

She said and we laughed.

I had to bring it up again. I know it was annoying to her, but she can’t be truly happy without Bruno. I know that for sure.

“Bruno got to know Bea, I don’t care if you will hate me for that, but Junior deserved a parental love and Bruno will also make a great father, Drew might be nice but please let Bruno know, give him a chance to take responsibility, i will tell him if you don’t want to”.

I said with a finality in my tone.

“No please at least let me tell him myself, I promise when Junior is of age and old enough to ask about his father, I will let him know”.

I sighed

“Well that is fair and will you at-least come back to town, I am itching to hug you Bea.”From NôvelDrama.Org.

My phone ranged, I looked at the screen and showed her the caller Id.

“It’s Bruno, Bea..”.

I said on whisper.
