I Am Not Her

Chapter 2

Jimin barely slept that night. He could not stop thinking about what had happened. As soon as the dawn broke he got out of his bed and hit the shower. The cool stream of water flowing down his body helped him clear his head. He spent a long time in shower arranging his thoughts.

He decided to first call Kiara and let her know about the situation.

He picked up his phone and opened her contact. He was about to call her when his phone rang. It was the same person who had called him last night. He answered the call.

"Hello?" Jimin said.

"Hello. I have booked your ticket for tonight's flight." The voice at the other end said.

"Thank you. How is she?"

" She is not in very good shape. Doctors say her condition is stable for now. But I must warn you it will only get worse."

" Yeah I know." Jimin said with a sigh and hung up the phone.

He then called Kiara.

"Hello?" Kiara said sounding half asleep.

"Rise and shine sleepy head. How long do you plan to sleep in?" He teased.

"I am not a sleepy head. It's only seven in the morning. What made you call me so early?"

"Well there is something I need to tell you."

"Go on" She said with a yawn.

"Its about my mother." Jimin said in a barely audible voice.

"What happened!? Is she alright? Are you fine? Should I come over? Is it-"

" I see you are finally awake"

Though Kiara could not see Jimin she could clearly imagine him smirking at the other end.

"My uncle called me last night and also a few moments ago. The thing is....." Jimin trailed off.

He was not able to get the words out of his mouth.

"Jimin? What happened?"

"She has only two weeks left." As he said that his voice cracked. No matter how much he tried he couldn't keep the emotions out of his voice. He felt a tear roll down his cheek then another followed and then another.

"Jimin I am-"

"No. There is no need for you to come over. I will be leaving for America tonight and will come back after two weeks. Right now I just need some time alone."

"I love you" Kiara said.

"I love you more." He said with a sad smile. And then he hung up.

Kiara's Pov

It was 3 years ago. I still remember that day. The day I first saw Jimin cry. We had gone to a party and as it was quite late he offered to drop me home. We said our goodbyes. And I went home.

The next day was cloudy and the weather forecast said that it will rain in the evening though it was nothing to worry about. But I doubted that as the day went on grey clouds kept on accumulating in the sky untill the sky appeared to be quite dark.

"Kiara can you go and buy some batteries for the flashlight. It seems like it is going to rain quite a lot we might have a blackout." My mom said.

"Sure mom" I said.

I grabbed some money and an umbrella just in case it started raining and went out.

On my way back it really started raining and it was raining hard. So I ended up using one of the allies and I am glad I did.

The ally was quite cramped with dustbins and garbage bags on both the sides. I quickened my pace when I heard it.

The sound of someone crying.
