There were literally a thousand questions I wanted to ask her. But one look at my Dad’s face told me that he wanted me to keep quiet and listen. So I did that. Except…I could hear more than him. Although, I knew from my experience that it was a foolhardy thing to do, I concentrated on her. Her eyes, full of nothing but raw grief and pain, her trembling lips, struggling to begin her story…701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzs2IskqIr

When I awoke,  I was sitting on the chair in front of my Dad. He was looking at me, his eyes all unemotional. What in the…If I had legitimately passed out wouldn’t he have panicked? Why was he just staring at me as though expecting  me to say something? And just how long has it been since I…701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lTOaKYMX5

“It happened twelve years ago…” I wasn’t saying anything but a voice escaped my mouth. Aunt Daisy’s voice. I looked down at my hands…No…They weren’t mine. I was wearing a sari  and a wedding ring.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70w7W9ix3j

“My twin sister…Lily. She eloped with her lover when we were 24. He was a school teacher. My father never forgave her. He did everything he could to make their lives miserable.

A room smelling of medicines…Aunt Daisy and Uncle Elias were both standing there. On bed was a really ill, frail man. Two people were coming in. One of them, an exact copy of Aunt Daisy. The other was a respectable looking man. He looked worn out and exhausted. A little girl peeked out from behind him.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsm30xCnfL
“He was really sorry for the grief he gave them. He…He wanted to make everything right. So, he wrote his will leaving majority of all his money in her name. I was happy…I wanted her to be with me.

Incoherent shouting and screaming. Finally, Uncle Elias spoke in an ice cold voice. “Yes. I arranged that little accident. If you don’t want little Jolly to join her parents…”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w4Yb10C34
