Roman looked around his bedroom ensuring that there as nothing missing and very furniture was in good condition. He had gotten most of the furniture in the house replaced. Left to him, he would have wanted them to sell the house and purchase another one so they could get away from the hurt and trauma they went through in the hands of the armed robbers some days ago but the mansion was where the twins had lived for the past two years. He had also asked them if they wanted him to sell off the house but they had refused. The twins loved the mansion and the people who worked there. They workers had grown to be family and they treated them nicely. Roman had no choice but to succumb to Christine and Christopher's decision. The only thing was that he wanted all three of them staying in the same room. Roman didn't feel okay with them in their room. He got panic attacks thinking about it.

Christine looks so much like mum." Daniel breathe as he sat on the sofa. He and his brother had just been able to get the twins to sleep after an hour of bonding with them. Daniel was really excited at meeting the kids. They were shy when Roman had introduced them to him as their uncle but soon Daniel was able to get them to open up and the three started to play so much but Roman just had to ruin the fun by announcing that it was past their bed time and they had to get to school tomorrow. Christine, Christopher and Daniel had let out loud groan and they wouldn't stop grumbling. They twins refused to go to bed except their uncle read them a bedtime story and he also came to see them the next day. Daniel was able to tell them bedtime story but he couldn't promise he as going to be here tomorrow. Daniel coming over the next day was solely dependent on how his conversation with Roman went.

"Why's everywhere so quiet?" Rose asked Magarita as they walked up the little stairs that led to the front porch of the orphanage. The front yard had tables and shelves with wares which were being sold but no one was with those wares and there was no one around who seemed like they were interested in buying any of the items displayed. Well, maybe it was because it was evening already. Rose was freezing. She had on a sweater and on top a long brown coat with jeans and boots but somehow she was still feeling cold. Magarita had given Rose her scarf to rap around her neck but Rose still felt chilled. It was from her being in the hospital without going out for days. Her body had gotten really used to the warm temperature in the hospital. Magarita shrugged. She was holding Rose tightly and helping her with coming up the little stairs. Magarita was trying to be as careful as possible with Rose because the doctor had said she had some broke bone which were till healing so she was limping an

A popular Chinese proverb said, the journey of a thousand miles begins with just a step. Rose had started walking those mile since she was born. She had risen and fallen. She had victories and failures. She had highs and lows. There were times she had great faith in herself and other times she would want to give up on herself. Many times she stumbled while walking that path. The path to success which was a really long journey of a thousand miles. Many times she had risen and believed in herself.

What he figured out was that no one had a desired destination but instead you yearn for more. When you think you have gotten it all, your get a new surge of energy. You begin to want more.

The wide grin etched on Rose features was so contagious that a similar wide smile also came spreading across his face. She looked beautiful as always in the pink dress and her hair was much longer than the last time he had seen her seven months ago. She also looked even more beautiful and she was. He liked that she was a very brilliant lady and not only did the award prove that but her speech was simply amazing. It was well articulated. It was worth every applause it got.Seeing Rose again after months of not seeing her was strange. She had changed a whole lot. It was a good kind of change because she was looking much younger and even more beautiful than she already was. He was mesmerized by her flawless make-up and the way the pink dress she had on hugged her body stature like it was a second skin. The way the dress bandaged her body and re
