Heartina...

Date: 19/07/2016... Time: 6:00PM...

I woke up and found myself in a bed. The room was bright and when I stood up, I could see the outskirts of the city. It was as though; I had gone for a picnic to a village area. The air was clean. I could hear the sounds from the animals outside.

Immediately I went near a window and looked outside to find a beautiful and well maintained kitchen garden similar to the one I had back home. There were a lot of domestic animals nearby like cows, pigs and goats. Then I saw a lady feeding them. Immediately, I recognized her as the lady who kidnapped me here.

I was actually surprised because, in movies and shows, the kidnappers keep the kidnapped under surveillance and tie ropes and chains around them to stop them from escaping, but, I was here in a bed free to move. I went out and touched the door to see if was locked, but it was unlocked. I went out to the kitchen garden ready to have a big argument with her.

She turned around to look at me and smiled at me. I did not return the smile back.

"Who are you? Why have you kidnapped me here?"

"Heartina! I am really happy to stay with you after a really long time"

"What? Does that mean I have stayed with you earlier?" I asked angrily.

"Yes sweetheart, you have been living with me since birth except for the last 4 years", she said brightly.

"Tell me who you are. Also, I have a gut feeling that you are the murder"

"Yes...you are right. I am the one who killed Cha Eun Sang and stabbed Go Nam Soon and also gave a big punch to Choi Young", she admitted everything but had a triumph in her voice. It was like she was proud of her work

"Who are you?"

"Come on in. We will have our introductions over a cup of coffee"

I was really shocked. She looked like me. She treated me as though I was her family...Family...then was she my twin?

"Please sit and I'll make some latte for both of us", she smiled and I was immediately reminded of my mom. I moved around and in the corner, I found a photo in which there 2 girls looking alike, in other words, they were twins. They looked alike and were dressed alike. The only difference was the eye colors. One had ice-blue eyes and the other had electric-blue eyes. Next there was a lady near them and seeing her face, I felt as though a thunder had fallen over my shoulders. That lady was my mom. Then I looked at the man near my mom to see if it was my dad. But, it was some other man whom I did not recognize.

"Heartina, come on here kid", she called.

Putting the pieces of the puzzle together, this lady must be my step-sister, I thought.

"Are you...are you...my step-sister?"

She laughed. "My name is Baartina Williams. I am your twin Heartina", she said.

"What? My twin? Then who are the people in that photo?"

"It's our family you silly!"

"What? Our family?"

"Yes. You and I are with mom and dad"

"Dad?"

"Yes...yes...he is our dad and I'm really sorry to tell you that he is no more"

"Oh! That is why mom is staying with some other person, who I know as dad now", I wondered.

"What? Mom remarried?"
