Chapter 10: Chapter 10

The next day when Zanvil woke up Eleonora was already gone. When he came down for breakfast he saw she had made him breakfast as usual. But when he touched the food it was cold. He didn't feel like eating so he left without eating.

Eleonora rang the bell and waited for someone to open the door. The door opened and Lorenzo came into the view. His eyes widened when he saw it was Eleonora.

"Nora!!" He shouted and hugged his sister tightly. Nora also wrapped her arms around him.

"I missed you so much Nora " he said while still hugging her.

"I missed you too boo boo." She said while kissing his head. Lorenzo was 15 years old and her sister Cara was 17 years old.

Nora entered in the house and saw her mother coming from the kitchen

"Nora?!" Her mother asked in astonishment. She didn't tell anyone that she was coming home.

"Mama." She went near her mother and hugged her tightly. Her mother Adriana wrapped her arms around her.

"I missed you so much, mamma" she said while burying her neck in her mother's neck. Adriana kissed her daughter's head.

"I missed you too baby. Why didn't you tell me before you were coming? We could have gone to the airport to receive you" Her mother said while breaking the hug. Nora looked at her mother and smiled.

"I just wanted to surprise you guys." Nora said half heartedly. She couldn't tell her mother that she made this decision at the last moment. She didn't want her mother to get suspicious.

"How is the little one?" Adriana asked Nora referring to her unborn grandchild.

"He is fine." Nora replied with a smile

"He?" Her mother asked, smiling.

They took a seat on the couch

"Is it a boy Nora?" Lorenzo asked excitedly.

"I don't know. I didn't want to know the gender. I wanted to keep it a surprise." She replied smiling. They nodded in understanding.

"Where is Zanvil? Why didn't he come with you?" Adriana asked her when she came down after getting freshened up.

"He is a little busy. He wanted to come but he couldn't because of work. I told him not to bother. Anyways where is Cara and Papa?" Nora asked while carefully changing the subject.

"Cara is in her friend's house and will be coming back in a few hours and your Papa is out of town. He will be back by tomorrow." She informed her while giving her some snacks. Nora chatted with her mother for almost an hour when she heard her little sister shouting.

"Nooraa."

Nora quickly went into the living room and ran to hug her sister.

"Cara! I missed you so much." She said while hugging her sister tightly.

"I missed you more. I didn't know you were coming. It's one of the best surprises ever" She said while hugging her back.

They broke the hug and sat in the living room to catch up on old times. They ate, laughed, teased each other. Finally she was at home.

"So I heard you got a boyfriend? Tell me who he is." Nora asked her sister with a teasing grin.

"How do you know? Oh Lorenzo! I'm gonna beat the crap out of him. He couldn't even keep his mouth shut. He even told Mama when he found out." Cara said looking at Lorenzo with a glare who just smirked at her evilly. Nora laughed.

"Come on. Just tell me already." Nora said with a laugh while teasing Cara who was blushing.

"He's in my class. His name is Eliakim. We started dating a few days back. He's a nice person." Cara said with a shy smile.

"Aww I'm happy for you. Have fun but don't go too wild." Nora said with a teasing smirk and Cara's eyes went wide understanding the hidden meaning. She glared at her playfully.

"You should tell that to Enzo since he's the playboy of our house." Cara said with and looked at Lorenzo with a devilish smirk. Lorenzo's eyes went wide while Nora looked at her brother with a narrowed gaze.

"No. No. I didn't do anything. I'm innocent. I swear. Don't believe that she-devil Nora. She's just jealous of me since the girls love me so much." Lorenzo said and did a hair flip.

"Really?" Nora asked a shocked expression while hiding her amusement.

"He's lying. You know he had hit on his young biology teacher. That poor lady was terrified." Cara said dramatically.

"Oh my God! Did you really do that?" Nora asked Lorenzo puzzled.

"Come on she's hot and Cara is just exaggerating." Lorenzo said and smiled innocently.

"You can't do that Enzo. You should date the girl of your age. Plus you are still only fifteen too young to hit on girls." Nora said while laughing. Her brother was growing up too fast. She knew he's going to be a charming heartbreaker with the cute and handsome face of his.

"Soon to be sixteen and girls of my age are boring." Lorenzo said with a pout.

"They are not boring. They just don't want to date an ugly idiot like you." Cara said with a teasing smirked. Lorenzo glared at her while Nora laughed.

"Oh really? You are calling me ugly? I'm not the one who uses makeup and facepack to look pretty unlike some lady monkey." Lorenzo said while maintaining a fake attitude which was saying to Cara I'm-such-a-handsome-man-keep-distance.

Cara got angry and instantly chased after Lorenzo with a murderous expression. Oh poor Lorenzo. He didn't realise he shouldn't insult a girl about beauty and makeup. It's such a sensitive topic for them. Nora laughed a loud while her other siblings ran inside the whole house shouting and cursing at each other.

She felt happy coming back home and being with her family. Though she was feeling missing. She knew it was because of her husband. Zanvil. Still she tried to ease that feeling with a smile.
