At 9:30 in the Morning…
Batista Family Arrives….

“They are coming…Minho…”
Says Taeyang……

“Thank you Mr. Taeyang…
they informed me already…
I trust everything is in order…”
Minho responses…

“Yes… everything is in order…”

As Minho cuts the line, in a matter of a second comes Jonghyun rushing towards him panting while stating…

Jonghyun:       (breathing heavily) Minho-ssi, they are outside the gate…
                       shall I ask our guard to let them in…?

Minho:             (nods) Please do so…
                        (touches Jonghyun’s shoulder) Kindly assist them
                        while I ready the kids… Where’s Yuri…?

Jonghyun:       With the kids perhaps… preparing them too…

Minho:             (gasps) ooohhh…okay…hyung…please handle… let them in…

Jonghyun:       (nods) alrighty then…

Jonghyun hurriedly turns his back from Minho to assist the guard and greet the visitors while Minho goes inside the room to check on kids. Much to his surprise, the kids are quietly reading books – he instinctively puts his right hand on his chest then takes a deep breath then exhales loudly in relief; waves his hand to signal on Yuri to come.

Yuri quietly approaches forward with a curious face asks…

Yuri:                 Minho-ssi what’s the problem…?

Minho:             (shakes his head) No… nothing… they are here already.
                        Hyung is currently outside to greet them…

Yuri:                 Ooohh…
                        (looks at the kids and faces Minho)
                        Don’t worry the kids are just fine…

Minho:             (shakes his head in amazement)
                        I think I am the one who needs to relax…
                        first was Bummie’s parents and grandfather and
                        now Natalie’s parents… All of them mighties…aaaiishh…

Yuri:                 (nods and smile) I know… pretty overwhelming ha…
                         I guess you live a different kind of life… Minho…

Minho:             (puffs) aaaaiii… Yuri…
                       I don’t know exactly how to describe it…

Yuri:                 (giggles) Very very huge….

Minho shakes his head laughing at Yuri’s remarks then asks the latter to come with him to pick up the kids…

Meanwhile the Batista couple has entered house pretty excited as well – seated quietly at the foyer area.

In less than a minute, the twins accompanied by Minho and Yuri greet Natalie’s parents joyfully happy.

Natalie’s parents stop in amazement watching Minnie and Kibummie happily approaching them especially Natalie’s mother whose name is Natalie as well is breathing heavily due to an overwhelming feelng of happiness – she instantly hugs her husband and cries…

Minho, Jonghyun and Yuri could not utter a single word watching Natalie’s parents undescribable feeling of yearning and longing. They could sense the emptiness and loneliness of them loosing their one and only daughter. So that, judging the situation, Minho swiftly goes and follows the kids saying…

Minho:             (catching the kids) Minnie… Kibummie…
                        please make Papa and Mama happy…alright…?

Minnie:            (smiles) Yes… Umma…

Minho:             (faces the Natalie’s parents) Good morning Mr. Richard Batista
                        and Mrs. Natalie Batista. It is a pleasure to meet both of you…

                        (looks at the kids) Meet Minnie and Kibummie
                        – your daughter Natalie’s lovely twins…
 

R. Batista:       (speechless thus, just extends his hands to embrace Minho and softly says)
                       Thank you so much…Minho…

Minho astounded when R. Batista embraced him however settles down and suddenly feels sad respect and sympathy for the other at the same time.

Minho:             Please do not mention Mr. Batista.
                        I should be more grateful for Natalie’s gift for me.
                       Your daughter Natalie was a wonderful kind and sweet person.

R. Batista:       (nods) I agree…
                       (faces his wife, Natalie) Meet her mother,
                       Ms. Natalie for you…

Minho:             (bows his head and gasps) Ma’m Natalie
                        – I must say your daughter looked exactly like you…

N. Batista:       (smiles while tears gently flows on her cheeks)
                       I miss her so much…Minho… we miss our Natalie…

Minho:             (instinctively hugs Natalie’s mother to support her feelings)
                        She was so nice to me…

N. Batista:       (nods) I know… she told me about you….
                       how sorry she was and happy at the same time she met you….

Minho:             (looks at the couple) It is all in the past now…
                        I am happy with the result…
                        and I would also be happy to let you feel exactly
                        what I have been experiencing since
                        Minnie and Kibummie came into my life.

                        (forwards the twins) Minnie… Kibummie…
                        I will leave you both to your Papa and Mama alright…?

Kibummie:       (nods) Yes Umma…

Minnie:            (nods) It is fine Umma and don’t worry about us.
                        We will be alright…
                       
                        (looks at R. Batista) Papa…Hello…!
 

Kibummie:       Good morning Mama…!

Richard and Natalie look at each other in awe and both extend their hands to embrace the kids – feeling so happy it as if meeting the twins give them a sense of connection and encouragement that life goes on and that both of their lives can have added importance and reason again – giving them a transformed confidence in their significance and value. 

Minho leaves them alone – inviting Jonghyun and Yuri to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch – as he approaches, Yuri gently hugs him saying…

Yuri:                 You did the right thing Minho…

Minho:             Yu even without Natalie’s request
                        – I would have done the same…It is just but right…

Jonghyun:       (approaches) This is so touching…very heartwarming…
                       I sympathize for them…
                       I could feel their longing for the lost of their one and only child…

Minho:             (looks at Natalie’s parents from a bit far now and says)
                        I understand how they are feeling especially now that I am a parent too….

Yuri:                 (smiles and taps Minho’s shoulder) Dang it… Minho…
                        I am so proud of you… You are really a good Umma…

Minho:             (smiles) Of course…
                        and ready yourselves cause today is going to be a merriment day…

Jonghyun:       (looks at Yuri) Are you okay with that Yu…?

Minho:             (gasps) Yu…will you be alright…?
                        Please do not stress yourself…
                        our babies inside might get upset…

Yuri:                 (rubs her tummy) No… they will be fine…
