We had been waiting there since two and a half hours. Pretty long time just to talk isn't it? But yeah...they had met each other after such a long time. And they weren't just sisters. They were twins.
Shyera appeared with her sister at the entrance of the cafeteria. She had a smile on her face, enough to tell us everything was fixed. Her sister did not seem that weird to me, at that moment. That was basically because she wasn't staring the way she was ,then. But something was still wrong about her. I don't know whether we were getting too carried away in that sisters thing..emotional and all.... but something was still weird about it. My chain of thoughts got broken as Shyera called me for the third time and I answer.
"Guys...let me introduce you to my twin sister-Esther. She will be with us till the end of this year, and has come here just for that.So....."
Shyera shot us a questioning glance, and we did nothing but smile. Tanyra immediately took her sister by the hand and left me alone with Shyera. Tanyra, was a super friendly person, and could make friends with someone at any moment. She had that 'confide in me' air around her, that led to real lasting friendships formed in really shocking situations.
"Shyera....I won't ask you about the discussion you had with your sister, but.....is everything alright? You are comfortable with her being here right?"
"Of course I am, Avora!"
I knew from the kind of smile that she was giving to me, that something was really and badly wrong. But she wasn't telling me about it. Does she want me to be away from that problem? What is she hiding from me? And that too when she knows I can find it out all by myself? Did she need a bit space? No. That sounded wrong. Oh god!
"Avora, come down dear. Dinner is ready,"my mom called me. I went down to find my little brother playing with the spoons on the table, trying to make more noise and trouble me. I was still not able to bring myself out of the suspicious sequence of events that had taken place, since last night.
"Evan! Stop it." I said, causing him to smell that something is wrong with me. I almost never gave any reaction, rather, I always did something that would cause him to react. My bad mood was obvious. We finished the dinner in pin drop silence, and I returne to my room, locking the door behind me. This would surely stop my bro from asking any further questions. Always.
beep-beep
Shyera:Avora, comin to pick you in 15.
Me:Ok.
Somewhere in my head I knew this has something to do not just with her and her sister, but with me, too.
I was struck with shock as I saw the face of my bestest friend. She had been crying. SHE HAD BEEN CRYING. As far as I know, Shyera. was a girl who was always able to control her tears. She never cried. She was the strongest girl I had ever seen in my life. The news of her sister had brought her near to crying, but no further. Then what has made her cry?
She tried to make me feel that she is alright but I knew she wasn't. Anyone could tell that from her face itself. But why was she hiding so many things from me recently? She wasn't telling me about what was going on in her life, in her mind. She was not telling me about her feelings. She was not even mentioning about the recent developments in her family, what impact the fact of the return of her sister had on them. Why this all of a sudden? And how are the dreams that I'm having every now and then, are related to all of this? Hell! She was not evem giving me a chance to be a good friend for once!
