Good bye

What do you mean

Devi was in her room drawing a tiger she is not a good artist but she can draw a tiger. Her mother, Sarah, called her and asked her if she had plans tomorrow. "No, i don't" said Devi.

Then there was silence among the house. A few minutes after that, Sarah came up to devi's room and knocked. After she came in she sat next to her and started to show her "we have to talk" face.

"What? Is anything wrong mom?"

"No. No. Nothing is wrong. I want you to go to aunt mima's tomorrow."

"That's it?"

Sarah noded and held her hand.

"Mom, you're being dramatic. Her house is a few miles away and you know her adress."

"Oh, you're going alone"

"What? Why?"

"Because you have to help her with a few things. Your brother has a football game to play and you are the only one free"

"And you and dad?"

"We're busy honey. We have a guest coming"

"Are you trying to get rid of me for tomorrow?"

"No. Why would you think that? Mima needs help because she is old and alone. And i think you are old enough to understand this types of situations."

"I'm 18 mom. What would i be doing that could help her in any way?"

"Just go there and hear what she has got to say, okay? You might even get a bit wisdom from her"

"Okay well write me the adress?"

"I'll write it for you in the morning. Here is some money for the bus and..."

"Wait" said Devi "i'm using a bus?"

"Of course. I don't trust taxi drivers"

"And i don't want to go with a bus. It's too much akwardness and silence. I can't even listen to mozart's symphony"

"Okay okay use the taxi i'll add more money later. Choose a modest outfit and no dark or black cloths." She said walking to her closet and trying to find a bright one she searched and searched and said "how about this one?"

"I hate that top it's light green. But i like the dark blue jeans..."

"When did you become like this?"

"Like what?"

"You're like....Stone cold"

"Gosh mom....demi sings stone cold because of some random loser guy who broke her heart. So i'm not stone cold"

"As you wish, honey"

She took out a white sleevelss T_Shirt and gave it to Devi. "I guess it goes well with the dark blue jeans"

"You see....i am a smart mom", they both laughed.

The next day a bold man who wears glasses came and Mark even made fun of him behind his back saying "His lower half and upper half of body are totally not equal"

When Mark went out, she went out as well a few minutes later. She remembered that she didn't take the adress her mother put on the kitchen cabinet after passing 3 blocks.

When she got back she saw that she left the house door open when she got out. She was happy for not having to knock. As she entered she heared the voice of her mother talking:

"We love Devi and even if she isn't our daughter, she was raised by us. When did he try to search for her?"

An unknown voice said "5 years ago. Then he stopped this years".

Devi guessed it was the voice of the guest. Her father said "If devi finds out she was adopted she would be devistated . Don't tell her nothing."

Devi got in and said "what do you mean"
