Destined to be yours...

Chapter 5

"Good morning, Sir." Nanny Laura said while busy cooking breakfast. "Morning." Brett said before going to his daughters' respective rooms. Brett move towards Aria's room. Between the two sisters, Aria is the one who had difficulty in waking up.

"Sweetheart, wake up." Brett said patting Aria's shoulders. "Hmmmm." Aria's replied to his dad. Brett sighed. "Aria." Brett said. "Aria." Brett continued calling and patting his daughter. "One...two..." Brett started to count but before he say three, Aria hurriedly got up the bed. "I thought I'd still count up to three." Brett said smiling. "No, Dad, I'm awake!" Aria said. "I don't want to die with your tickles." Aria continued that made Brett laughed. "Ok, rinse your mouth and wash your face. Nanny Laura is almost done with your breakfast. I'll wake up your sister." Brett said and went out of Aria's room.

When Brett opened Harper's door, the bed was already empty. He smiled. "Morning, Dad." Harper said going out of the bath. "Morning sweetheart." Brett said. "Go down and let's eat breakfast." Brett continued. Harper nodded.

Just like Tyler and Caden, Harper and Aria were "chalk and cheese". Harper, even with her young age, is a responsible kid. Her room is always organised and clean. Her school things are always arranged and placed orderly. Just like Tyler, she rarely smile but when she's with her friends, you can't see her frowning. Aria's room... CHAOS! Nanny Laura was the one arranging Aria's room. All her things were in total mess. Sometimes, Brett will get angry or Nanny Laura will tell her to organise her things, but Aria will only nod yet do nothing. Aria is the cheerful one, the importunate one and the most talkative but she's more sweet and caring. Harper is a sweet one too, but Aria had her ways wherein,she can turn her dad's anger and sister's irritation into laughters.

"Dad, next month, we'll be having our graduation retreat." Harper said while eating breakfast. "Where?" Brett asked while munching his toast. "Blissful Moss Haven." Harper answered chewing her egg. "What's a retreat, Dad?" Aria asked while cutting her ham. "It's a three day activity wherein you meditate, keep silent, reflect, and pray." Brett said explaining. "I don't want to join a retreat." Aria said. "And why not?" Brett asked his youngest. "Keep quiet for three days? I will have a bad breath if I will not talk for three days? My saliva will become musty. Eeewww...!" Aria said continuously. Brett and Harper laughed hardly that made Aria furrowed her forehead.

"Morning, Dave." Brett greeted his friend. "Morning, how's the stage father?" Dave said smiling. "It was nice." Brett said sitting in his chair. "That's it?" Dave asked. "What else?" Brett asked. "No beautiful ladies swarming around?" Dave teasing his friend. Brett grinned. "What's with that?" Dave said curiously. "I've met someone. She was the one my daughters have told me." Brett said. "The good mommy thing?" Dave asked. "Yeah." Brett replied. "What about her?" Dave asked curiously. "Beautiful, sexy, worth drooling for." Brett said smiling. "And my daughters wanted her to be their second mommy." Brett said that made Dave's jaw dropped. "Really? What made your daughters said that?" Dave asked. "I don't know. They had many interesting stories about her." Brett said. "So, what's your plan?" Dave asked. "For now, I had none." Brett said flipping the papers on his table. "What? You will not do anything. You'll not pursue her?" Dave asked. "Let destiny decide. If we're meant to be, then, it will be." Brett said that made Dave sighed.

Classes were over but Harper was still inside the bathroom. "Big Sister, what's happening to you?" Aria said with a worried tone. "I'm ok, but, I'm not feeling well and there's blood in my undies." Harper said that made Aria cried. "What will I do?" Aria said crying. "Don't cry, maybe this is the thing that my classmates were talking about." Harper said. "Go outside, see if there's anyone that can help me." Harper said and Aria hurriedly went outside.

Aria looked around but failed to see someone who she thinks can help. She proceeded in the parking lot, looked around and when she saw a familiar face, she immediately ran towards the person.

"Auntie Aly!" Aria shouted. Aly looked back and she saw Aria with tears in her eyes. Tyler and Caden went out of their car.

"Why are you crying, my sweet?" Aly asked worriedly. "B...i...g sis...ter." Aria said between her sobs. "What hapepen to her?" Tyler asked but Aria didn't answered him. Aria is pulling Aly. "Where are we going? Tell me what happen first." Aly asked. Aria whispered something but Aly can't understand so she decided to bow her head. "Big sister had blood in her undies." Aria whispered on Aly's ear. Tyler and Caden were curiously looking to the two girls infront of them but didn't have any idea what were they're talking about.

Aly smiled. She went inside her car to get something. "What's that, Mom?" Tyler asked. "It's a girl thing." Aly said that made Tyler raised his brow. "Wait for us here. Tell Harper and Aria's service bus that they will be riding with us. I need to talk to Uncle Brett." Tyler nodded eventhough, he's puzzled.

"Are you ok now?" Aly asked. Harper nodded. Aria stopped crying too. Aly taught Harper how to use a feminine pad and explained the do's and dont's when having the monthly period. When they're were done, they went out and move towards the parking lot where Tyler and Caden were worriedly waiting. When the two boys saw them, they immediately approached the girls.

"What happened to you? Did anyone bullied you? Tell me who are they, I will talk to them." Tyler said in a serious tone. "Me too, me too, I will talk to them." Caden followed. Aly laughed. "Relax, boys! Nothing happened. I told you, it's a girl thing, don't overact." Aly said still wearing a smile. "Let's go home." Aly continued and the four kids went inside the car.

"Auntie, daddy is still in the office." Harper said while on their way. "Ok, we'll be going there. Just tell me where it is." Aly said and Harper nodded.
