DEAN POV

I stood in front of the two-story house. It was plain white and grey and you know you can tell it, it's old building. But it felt homey.

Of course Vee attached to this place. I haven't come inside yet and I felt the familiar feeling about when you coming home.

I didn't carry anything in my hands but Allen was all prepared man and he waited for me to give him signal to bring something to the house especially to the kids.

I knocked the door and waited for a second until the door was opened.

You met an old lady wearing nun's outfit. Her wrinkles face showed me happiness. And her smile was brighter when she saw me.

"can I help you? "

" I want to visit the kids and of course I want to know what my wife doing here, " I said to the point made her creased her forehead. " I mean, Valentina. She always visits here, am I right? "

"oh.. Yeah.., " her eyes rounded and her smile wider. "come in! Come in! "

"and before I meet the kids, would you let me have the talk with you about my wife? "

"sure. "

"okay. Wait a minute, " I called Allen to give him signal for bringing bunch of gifts. "okay, done. And I bring my assistant to give the kids and I know it's not that much. "

"what are you talking about? That's enough making my kids here happy. They always happy and I can see my kids' eyes have a glint when Valentina comes even she brings one box cake. "

"sorry, I didn't introduce myself to you, " they stopped in front of the door of her office. " my name is Dean, sister and I already know your name. "

I said smilingly.

"alright Dean, " sister Mariyah smiled back. She opened her door and they sit on the old sofa. "sorry, this place didn't have anything new. "

"don't worry. I can help myself. "

"okay, so? Drink? "

"coffee is fine, sister. "

After she made 2 cups of coffee they had serious chat.

" I know it's start with bad condition about my relationship with my wife. But when I knew the truth and it took months I regret it. "

And I told my situation to her. She listened to me attentively. She could see regret in my eyes and she showed me sympathy.

" it's okay, Dean, " she held my hand. "everything happens for a reason. She is truly angel here. The kids favor her. She brings the best and God sends an angel through her. And the most important is.. She loves my kids here. "

And her eyes started shining. She remembered every time Vee was coming, they greeted her like she was their mom coming home from work. And to make the situation full of happy giggles, she brought some foods or things.

" I see the light and life in her eyes. She can't stop smiling. Sometimes she stayed longer till 10 pm to tuck the kids. I know her apartment is not that close. I always tell her to not go home so late because it's not safe. But she just shrugged off. "

I sipped my coffee listening Sister Mariyah. She made her coffee too but she never touched it.

".. She gives more attention to the baby. Yeah because she was the youngest and the kids help Valentina. I don't know why but they love her as their mom. And I am very happy. I am so grateful to have her here. She helps the kids too much, giving them affection so the kids are saved physically and emotionally. "
