We were inside the cap  my mom ordered, driving us back home.

The place I haven't been to for four years.
I wondered how it looks now.

" Mom...is the house still the same.
I mean our decorations and everything......

" Calm down Rachel....you have to see it yourself to determine your answerwill ok."

" Ok mom.....but"

" But what...of course you will get to see Raymond and Helen".

" Not them... I'm excited to see them but I was about asking of Luna.

" Rachel you will see her when we get home ....guess what ...
Luna has grown up to be very tough and healthy .

" Wow mom that's great I can't wait to go home and see my sweet baby.

We drove at a slow pace through out the journey, it was annoying at first, but mom says it was for the betterment of my health..

Finally the journey which seemed to take forever finally came to an end.

" Rachel we are here" mom tapped me and I woke up.

" Finally!!! we are back home " .....I stretched my body and stepped out of the car.

" Mom help me out with the luggage". I said as I collected my luggage from the rented driver.

" You lazy child .....give me one of the boxes"

" Ok mom thanks a lot I'm just so excited to be back home.

I said as we both moved the luggage towards the door.
Mom already paid the driver so he was no longer in our premises.

I still remember leaving the house like it was yesterday when I left for the job interview.

But it has actually been over four years.

" Luna my baby ...come over here " I said immediately I saw Luna running towards the garden.

But surprisely she barked at me aggressively instead.

" Mom why is Luna barking at me in such a manner".

" Give her some time she is your dog 🐕 and in no time she will get to understand your heart ❤️ and intentions and warm up to you."

" Mom I hope so I can't lose her lova and affection after losing 4 years of my life, I just can't.
Nothing more please."

I told her as I helped her with the door.

" Here comes my bestie" I heard a voice from inside the house.
It was Helen and she looks different from four years ago.

She looks beautiful and elegant, even the way she walked towards me, shows authority and Power.

Had she really changed that much from four years ago.
Is she the same nerdy bestie I had  before the coma.

" Rachel long time no see" she said as she gave me a tight hug.

" Helen .... I'm gonna suffocate because of your hug.
My neck hurts really bad".

" Am really sorry Rachel, I did not mean to strangle you ok.

Just so excited to see you back here.. ALIVE".

" What do you mean by back here ALIVE."

" Enough with your interrogation Rachel, it time to be happy, my friend.

You're back from your four years vacation at the hospital .....we need to celebrate."

" We will definitely celebrate my waking up....right mom " I through the question to my mom.

" Of course dear why won't we.
We need to celebrate.

" Helen where is Raymond? " I asked cause I don't see Raymond around.

Mom told me he would be at home immediately I get home.

" Raymond..... should be here in the next five minutes.
He went out to get us lunch." She responded with a stoic expression.

" Wow that's great.....mom I need to go change ....

Raymond can't see me in this ". I pointed at what I was wearing

" Ok Rachel suit yourself" mom said.

" Helen take care of mom I will be there in a jiffy " I said as I ran up the stairs.

I went into my room ....it was absolutely same way I left it in a rush 4 yrs ago.... except for some new clothing.

" Wow this blue dress fits perfectly " I stood in front of my dressing 👗 mirror.

I'm very sure Raymond will like this gown cause blue is his favorite colour.

" Thank you mom" I said as I immediately put on my flat shoe and went downstairs.

" Here comes my beautiful daughter .... welcome back home my princess" mom said as she raised up a glass of red wine.

Sitting opposite to her was Raymond, yes it was Raymond the guy who made my heart pound

He is really here live and flesh at this moment, I could feel my heart beat faster.

I could almost hear the erratic beating of my heart.

" Come down already Rachel... everyone is waiting for you and Raymond is here", mom shouted .

I came down counting my steps till
I finally reached the dinning table.

It was an awkward moment, finally sitting down with Raymond yet saying nothing.

It's not like I have nothing to say but it seemed weird to start a conversation in front of Helen and Raymond.

" Ok okay let's eat lunch ...." Mom said .

" Raymond it's been long since we sat together and had a meal, how is the family." Mom asked Raymond.

Finally someone broke the awkward silence at the table.

" The family has been great and the business smoothly thriving.
And my youngest sister extended her greetings" Raymond added.

" I heard you have an elder brother who is mysterious...."mom said sarcastically.

An elder brother? I never knew Raymond had an elder brother there is more to discover about him.

I just needed to keep quiet and let them continue the conversation.

" I won't say I have a mysterious brother....but it's true no one knows about him.

Because dad flew him to Hong Kong for his study since then he hasn't been back.

We visit him at times.

" Why is that ?"mom asked and the conversation got more interesting.

" Because we are step brothers "

My dad divorced his mom then later married my mom ....

That's all I know but I do know he will be back for good in the next three months.

Mom wants the family back together so Nelson and his sister, my step siblings need to come home.
