The girl. Who is the girl? I'm quite familiar with the girl. Who is she? Where did i meet her? Yes. She has hazel eyes, long skinny legs that actually makes her look like a professional model. Those slender fingers and yes, she's probably taller than I am. That brunette hair resembles Dad a lot. Yes, exactly.
Mom and the girl that she brought with went straight ahead to the living room where Mikey sat while watching his favorite tv show. As for me, I continue washing the dishes and wipe the dishes and when suddenly I hear Mom's calling me out.
"Adine! Honey, can you come here for a second?", she shouts from the living room.
Darn it. I don't want to be in the same room with the girl and Mom! It would be totally awkward and I don't even know what to say. But then, I decided to head straight to the living room and sit beside Mikey. He still focusing on watching the tv and ignore Mom and the girl.
"Honey, I've something to tell you about for a very long time", she clears out her throat and continue,"Actually, you do know that I've been seeing your dad lately, right?"
Pft, I knew it! There must be something that Mom hides from me. Mom should know that apart from sharing my own dad, I would never share her with anyone else. Ever since Dad left us, Mom, Mikey and I live our whole life together. We do things together and I couldn't think of someone else doing things with Mom. No, I can't even imagine that. Even though Mom was a little bit harsh when she's drunk, I admit, I'm a little bit upset when I didn't talk to her more often after the incident.
Truthfully, I can't imagine sharing my own Mom with somebody else. That is all.
"Yes, Mom. I know that you've been seeing Dad lately. Something is fishy that I can sense long ago. But I didn't expect you to bring back a stranger to our house. So, who's she?", I asked with a firm voice, showing that I would not tolerate any nonsense reasons that Mom would even give.
I looked over the girl. She's being quiet all along the conversation. At least she's being respectful over our 'little' conversation.
"She's your twin sister, Adine. Not exactly twin sister but, she's the same age as yours at least.", Mom said while looking at me with a serene eyes that I've been longing to see since before.
"What is she doing here? I bet she has her own home. Why did you bring her here to our home?", I asked with a clear voice and a little bit of sarcasm.
"Dad's sick at the moment. I have to let Sarah stay here with us. Dad is in the hospital, sweetie. Please do understand the situation. Sarah have no one to stay with.", Mom said with a little sigh hoping for me to understand.
"Hah! Your mom is already with someone else and you want me to share my own mom with a complete stranger? Never in a million years.", I said as I staring at Sarah, but I just said it only in my heart and didn't let it all out.
I do know that Dad is in the hospital becuase of diabetes. Actually, he's there since 2 days ago. Still, I did not think of visiting him or something. Mikey would want to visit him if he knew what had happened to Dad. He's much more closer to him than anyone in the family. Mom and I choose not tell him anything and keep it a secret.
"Alright, I'll prepare the room for her" I said to Mom as I nod to make sure that Mom knows that I accept her decision to let Sarah stays with us.
It's just, there's only one thing that keeps bothering me.
