RISING STAR

Their fate is entwined, tangled
Two similar people yet so different,
The same blood yet unique,
Bonded yet separated.

With a perfect life and perfect family.
All tipped over by a single encounter.

"Thank you for understanding. But if you don't mind please what is your full name?"

I was startled by the question but I still replied.
"Nadya Bello Maidala and who may you be? "

She looked at me with wide eyes, then replied.
"I knew your father, May his soul rest in peace. I am Noor Atif Abul Kareem."

"Amen, Thanks a lot. The Abul Kareem's know." I asked amazed.
" Yeah." Answered Noor.
