Okay but have we considered Carla and the girls sending Mahi a video birthday message?
Mahina's rolling her eyes and about to delete it when Amne moves the camera to show her little aardwolf newborns wriggling in their bassinets. One of whom has her name as their middle name.
Guess this is taking up some of her phone storage now.
When Mahina got the message, she didn’t recognize the number, but she did recognize the face in the video sent to her as an attachment to the text message “Happy B-Day Mahina!!” And it was there she knew, Leona had given Carla her phone number.
Whether by curiosity or boredom, she played the video and it started off with exactly as Mahina would come to expect from Carla, it was loud and had a lot of distractions.
Distractions like noise blowers, party hats, flags, and overall just way too much enthusiasm (from Halisi and Carla mostly).
So just when she was about to get ready to click off the video and delete this contact, the camera panned over to the most adorable newborn twins she’s ever seen. A boy and a girl, so tiny, so fragile, each of them barely moving except to reach up towards the sky seemingly.
When Amne revealed their names, she actually started to well up a little when she heard her name. It was…definitely an interesting reaction to hearing that.
She didn’t text Carla back or anything, but she did end up simply sending her one of these “😐”. It was the only thing that made sense, not too informal but not too emotional either…even if Mahi was starting to cry a bit.
