'Two more what?'

I felt
She taking
A deep breath,
Lying in her lap.

'I have
A question of yours
Unanswered.'

'Just one?'

'Haha.'

'What haha?'

'Don't talk much
Unnecessarily.'

I kept quiet,
But yet asked,
'Which question?'

05.58.34

'I kissed you
At the hospital.'

I listened.

'We were
Of the same tree.'

I am confused.

'Last month,
Died in an accident,
Our dad;
Not just yours.'

'What do you mean?'

'Brother,
I am your
Unborn sister.'

I couldn't talk;
Was paralyzed.

'There's one more
Murder to count.
That which happened
Decades back.
The first of the five.
Mine.'

I lay numb.
Her hands caress.

'Abortion.
And I was taken
To God.
To be a
Messenger of death.'

05.56.54

'Sister,'
I called.
My heart chilled.
I had a sister.

'Brother,
Darling.'

'Yes,
Sistah.'

'Reveal
What you hide.'

'What do you mean?'

'Still,
You hide.
Why?'

'I hide nothing.'

'Idiot.
Why, darling?
I know you do.'

'I don't.'

'Why do you
Hide from me,
Dead murderer;
Cunning killer?'

Ooops!
Was that a big twist and turn? Maybe expected. But, who was called a murderer? A cunning killer?
And, number of murders are increasing chapter by chapter😂. What more to come???
