64 Vol 1 : Ch 64 - A day before leaving

When they arrived, the family just relax for a little bit. All of them carries Rei gifts since she received almost from her co-workers except from Ms Li, Ms Zhang, Ms Meng and of course from herself, 50 employees all so she receives 46. After putting the gifts in the living room, they separate and go to their own room.

In the morning, all of them already awake and ready to go but before they go Mei said to them.

"Ma and everyone, you must be get ready around 3am because we will pick you up and we must have a family picture before Sis leave. All of you must wear a formal and Sis only dress allowed"

"Alright"

"Bye everyone and we're going now"

"Bye and be careful Mei, En, El and Lyn"

"As always Ma and Bye Ma"

They left leaving Aya, Rei and the kids in the house. Aya watching TV while Rei busy opening her gifts along with the kids since they hold the gift before giving to Rei. She mostly receives wristwatch, mugs, journals, picture frame, personalized planner and the most she like is the photo all of them that have one sentence message to her. Among 46 of her gifts there are 15 letters attach, Rei automatically hide the letter and she will bring the letters with her and read when she arrive in S Country but she never taught that the one who read the letters first before her is her future boyfriend and husband, so she just keep the letters and then continue opening her gifts. After opening her gifts Rei check her things again and then inserting the letters to her hand carry bag while her mother remind her.

"Did you bring anything?"

"Yes Ma"

"How about the medicines if in case you got sick?"

"Already here Ma".

"You're documents, ticket, visa and passport?"

"Inside my hand carry bag Ma"

"How about you're clothes Rei?"

"Already here Ma"

"It's one luggage enough?"

"Yes Ma and it's large size".

"Alright"

Rei continue double checking her things and then look to her gifts.

"Ma, I will bring all this journals, the photo frame, 1 wristwatch and 1 planner."

"Yes go ahead how about the mugs and t-shirts?"

"Ah, that's right I will bring all this T-shirts since I'm going to wear it when it's not working days but I will left the mugs since you can use it while the others I will just keep it in my room"

"Alright"

Aya back her focus to the movie she watch while Rei putting the T-shirts on her luggage after putting everything she said suddenly.

"Aiyah, I forgot to bring any family pictures" the kids heard her and Ken is the one answering.

"Family pictures?"

"Uh-uh, what's wrong Ken?"

"Well Mom told us that we're going to have family picture this afternoon"

"Eh, you have it Aunt Rei?"

"Uh-uh, do you want to see?" All of them nodded "okay, just wait for a moment I will get it first"

"Yes, yes Aunt Rei"

Rei go to their study room and get the albums then back to where they are. The kids notice that their Aunt bringing 4 albums and they can tell what it is.

"Aunt Rei why do you have 4 albums?"

"So all of you know it's an albums?" again they nodded "well we have at least 30 albums as of now inside the study room but I only get the family's album"

"Eh, really Aunt Rei?"

Aya heard them, chuckled then explained "well Kids your Aunt is the one who compile all the photos and putting it inside the album whenever she's free"

"Woah"

"Geez Ma, I'm just doing it as one of my hobby"

"I know and make sure you don't forget to compile your own"

"Of course" but in the future she never got on her hand of doing it because the moment her future boyfriend and husband take notice of her, he already compiles many photos and the most important photos of their special moments are printed in another size with frame and put on their walls.

"So, which one we're going to look first?"

"Ellyn and Lynel first Aunt Rei" Ren suggest while the two little girls smile and thumbs up to him

"Thank you Ren, so this is album is for El and Lyn --- Din Family's" Rei open one of the album she carry and putting the other three on top of the center table while the kids automatically seating beside her, Rei open the album page by page with slowly turning the page to next page. First page is a wedding photo of El and Lyn, follow by Lyn pregnancy, her ultrasound results, her 9 months of pregnancy, the birth of Ellyn and Lynel, wedding anniversaries, the birthday's of Ellyn and Lynel then last photo is their family photo taken in J Country before leaving.

"A----aunt Rei, since when do you have these photos?"

"Well we always chatting with you're parents even you're in J Country, so we always have updates to each other and then send a photo to us, so no worry about me leaving because this is one of our family rules that to chat everyday and every weekend will have video call."

"Eh, really?"

"Uh-uh"

The other twins interrupt them and said excitedly "now, now our turn Aunt Rei"

"Ha, ha, I know and are you really that excited?"

"S----super Aunt Rei"

"Okay, now this is Mei and En --- Jang's Family" Rei get the other one and open the album at the same pace as what she did awhile ago. The first photo was also the wedding photo of Mei and En, then photo of Mei holding her stomach because she taught she had a tumor since she's the one who got married first and don't know that she just pregnant of the twins, next photo shown how En comforts Mei, follow by visiting in a hospital, a picture of them with a doctor like had something says to them, photo of them getting inside in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, a result of Mei ultrasound result showing two dots, a photo of her pregnancy, a photo before giving birth, the twins photo, anniversaries photo, birthday's photo and last their family photo.

The twins reaction after seeing it don't know if their going to cry or laugh because of their Mom's reaction. Rei notice them and just laugh inside while thinking 'well, you're Mom is like that because she got pregnant at the age of mid 20 and at least Mei already married En before she got pregnant'. Rei just amuse to her sister reactions but in the future she almost do worse what Mei reacts.

"Now, now kids let's see Aya and Elvi --- Din's Family"

"Papa Grand / Grand Pa name is Elvi?"

"Uh-uh"

"I see" all of them have a sad look after they said it, Rei notice and said to them.

"Don't be sad you're Papa Grand / Grand Pa was already resting in peace and he always beside us and watching us, okay"

"Uh-uh"

"Do we need to continue, Kids?"

"Of course Aunt Rei"

Rei open another album and just like what El and Lyn family's, this album also have same sequence and after reaching the last page the kids ask "how about that one, Aunt Rei?" Rei already know what they mean so she answered right away "that our family bondings" which she receives a questioning looks and pouting expressions like saying 'how about our family bondings Aunt Rei?' Rei laugh when she notice the kids reactions and explain right away.

"Aunt didn't forget your family bondings and it's in other albums because it's too many"

"Oh?"

"Uh-uh, by the way Aunt going to prepare our lunch alright?"

"Okay, Aunt Rei"

"Good, good, behave and don't disturb Mama

Grand / Grandma."

"Uh-uh"

Rei stand then go to the kitchen and prepare their lunch while leaving the kids looking at the album. At exactly 12noon, they eat together and then rest for half an hour before preparing theirself to be get ready. Then at 3pm, they heard a honk outside the gate and they know it's Mei. Aya and the kids hop in inside the van while Rei checking the appliances if it's unplug before locking the house and close the gate thoroughly since it will be lock automatically then hop in inside the van.

After making sure that the family already intact, Mei drive off and go to C Main City. They go to C Photo Exquisite and Photography then have their family portrait. After taking the shot, Rei told Mei that she need a soft and hard copy.

"Of course I know Sis and don't worry all of us have copy of each"

"Oh?" got a suspicious looks from them

"Tsk, tsk don't underestimate me but for now let's go to watch a movie first then eat our dinner before going back here"

"Okay"

The family just walk around because it's near in the mall and they never realized that all eyes are on them because all of them are wearing formal wear. As what Mei said they watch a movie first then eating their dinner in the restaurant before going back to Photo shop. Late at night they arrived and change their formal wear to sleeping wear before sleeping.
