THE FORTUNATES
VISIT



    The sun had already broken through behind the curtain that was slightly exposed covering the glass window in the reading room. Beatrice pulled the cloth wrapped around her body, her head resting comfortably on the soft pillow that was behind her nape.


    Cring.. Cring.. Crates


    Beatrice was aghast at hearing her HP ringing out loud enough, soon she grabbed the HP lying carelessly on the table.


    “ Hmm, hello. “ greetings to someone who speaks across.


    “ Brother don't forget, – items will arrive to the store later in the afternoon. “ Orion's voice resuscitates Beatrice from her sleepiness.


    “ Oh okay Rion, thank you for reminding me. After visiting Mother Kendrick's house I'll be right up to the store.“ He ended his conversation with Orion, who had been busy helping with renovations at Beatrice's coffee shop.


    Beatrice puts her HP on the side of the sofa then observes a – ash blanket that warms her, then switches on a nanofiber pillow that comfortably sticks her head. He remembers last night he didn't bring anything with him while running away from Kendrick. Beatrice did not take a headache, she immediately came out of the reading room. It was nine o'clock in the morning, he knew Kendrick had left the house.


    Slowly Beatrice opened the door to her room, as she expected Kendrick had already left. She immediately cleaned herself and changed her clothes, planning a visit to her in-laws' house. After getting Beatrice ready for the dining room, the two assistants were still there.


    “ Good morning Bi, what time does Kendrick leave? “ says Beatrice while grabbing a seat.


    “ Last Master left at five o'clock in the morning Madam. “ Aunt Inah replied while putting an omelette on Beatrice's plate.


    “ Was it aunt who gave me a blanket and pillow last night? “ asked Beatrice on the two assistants.


    “ What blanket and pillow does Madam? “ Aunt Inah asked in confusion.


    “ Yes blankets and pillows what Mistress?” Aunt Rasi.


    “ Oh no, no, I seem to be dreaming. “ Beatrice lying.


    “ What is Kendrick? Or Laura? Or Dami? “ whispers in the heart.


    “ But Laura or Dami definitely didn't know I was sleeping there, they were in the basement. What's Kendrick? Ah no way! “ Beatrice still monologues with herself.

    After eating out her breakfast Beatrice packed – cakes that she had wrapped plastic in a clear glass jar. He planned to bring the cake to the house of Kendrick's mother, he wanted his mother-in-law to taste the processed products. Beatrice also shared some with Aunt Inah and Auntie Rasi, who liked the cookies.


    “ Aunty I went first yes, I will visit Mom Kendrick. I most come home at night so there is no need to make lunch or dinner for me. “ say goodbye Beatrice when she wants to leave the house.


    “ Madam, you ordered me to cook some food because you will be back before seven p.m. “ Aunt Rice said Beatrice was still standing on the doorstep.


    “ Oh so, okay Bi. Cook what Kendrick asks. “ Beatrice closes the door then disappears from the sight of her assistants.


    Not long after driving by the city bus, Beatrice arrived at the front yard of Kendrick's parents' house. The woman immediately pressed the bell near the fence and brought her face closer to the intercom screen there.


    “ Hello Aunty, this is Beatrice. “ he said when he saw the face of Aunt Nem on the screen intercom.


    “ Oh Lady Beatrice, please come in. “ replied Aunt Nem from inside the house. The fence automatically opened, Beatrice immediately broke into the house. At the mansion, Kendrick's mother was waiting for him.


    “ Why not ask to be picked up anyway Beatrice? “ always Kendrick's mother hugging her daughter-in-law's son.


    “ Surely you took the bus huh Beatrice? “ connect Kendrick's mother again.


    “ No, but this mother has already started to know you Beatrice. Come on in, how's the honey moon? Have you tried making a grandchild for Mom? “ whispered Mother Kendrick while hugging Beatrice's arm.


     “ Hahahah, but thanks to Mom and Kendrick, Beatrice enjoyed everything Mom. The villa is very beautiful, the beach is also nice. “ Back Beatrice woke up to hear her mother-in-law's question then she replied cheerfully.


     “ Oh yes Mom, these cookies made by Beatrice. “ the beautiful woman then held out the glass jar that she brought from Kendrick's house earlier.


     “ Beatrice you had once made a meal like this, see Mom want to try it. “ middle-aged woman immediately took one cookie from inside the jar. He took a slow bite of those choco chips.


    “ Hmmm, crunchy on the edge of Beatrice but soft once yes the middle. It's yummy! Worth going to your coffee shop later. “ praise Mother Beatrice.


     “ Really mom? “ ask Beatrice again.


    “ Yes, really Beatrice. “ Kendrick's mother convinces her son-in-law.


    “ Thank goodness mom, Beatrice has prepared all the needs of coffee shop ma'am. Store fixtures are coming this afternoon, and maybe next week the Beatrice coffee shop will be operational. This week Beatrcie and friends – friends will be sucked choose menu and promotional activities. “ connect Beatrice again.


    “ Wow, have you prepared everything by yourself Beatrice? Can I help you? What does Beatrice need? “ Mother Kendrick chiming.


    “ Mother has helped Beatrice a lot, and it just so happens that for now everything is enough Mom. “ Beatrice is too proud of her mother-in-law, she feels she has received a lot of kindness from them.


    “ Never hesitate to say whatever you need Beatrice. Kendrick seems to be busy, right? Is the filming not finished yet? “ gently Mother Kendrick clasping Beatrice's hand.


    “ Looks like it's still Mom, because Kendrick came home late and left before Beatrice woke up. Hehehe. “ while chuckling Beatrice answers Kendrick's mother.


    “ But you guys are good – is fine right? Auntie Rasi said, the more days Kendrick looked happier. “ Kendrick's mother laughs with anxiety while looking at Beatrice's tiny face.


    “ Happy? Happy how? His attitude is so annoying! “ grumbled Beatrice in heart.


    “ Just relax Mom, we are good – is fine. “ Beatrice makes a sound and tries to convince Ms. Kendrick.


    After a few moments of chatting in the living room, Kendrick's mother breezed into the backyard and Beatrice followed. He saw a very adorable brown-haired poodle in a white rubber tub.


    “ Geez Mom, Beatrice just found out that I have this cute dog. “ said Beatrice with anxiety when she saw the dog that looks like a doll.


    “ Kendrick hasn't told you yet? It's called Choco he used to be Kendrick's favorite dog because he gave Regina. But after they cut off the relationship, Kendrick whistled hard to throw Beatrice, but I couldn't bear it. So he we made a small place in the back house. “ gently Mother Kendrick bathed the small dog.


     “ Oh so Ma'am, it's a pity that this cute dog should be thrown away. “ Beatrice's voice sounded vibrating, she felt a little disappointed because it was Regina's hand-off dog.


    “ Yes, pity to see it if thrown away. Oh Beatrice you so get wet bathing Choco. “ they are both blown away when the cute dog wiggles his body and water splashes in all directions.

    “ Bu Beatrice said yes, sorry Beatrice has not been able to stay ya Ma'am. Beatrice is still chasing the target of finishing a coffee shop first Ms. “ said goodbye to Beatrice on her mother-in-law.


    “ It's okay – what Beatrice, I can understand. Yes already there hearts – hearts, let us deliver Mr Man, oh yes so when can the driver start working on you Beatrice? “ Mother Kendrick rubbing Beatrice's hair gently.


    “ I'm calm, later when it's time Beatrice needs a driver will definitely tell Mom. Then Beatrice went yes Mom, I keep the health of my greetings to Dad. “ then the beautiful woman got into the car that was waiting for her in the parking lot, and disappeared after the car came out of the yard.
