"A good name is better than gold." Her mother said these words in a playful song form to little July. Her father on the other hand hated those words irrespective of what form they were used.


"A good name got me framed, fired and imprisoned for two years." Her father would say while he drank from his bottle of a local dry gin.

"The so called good name is overrated."  

"Those of them in power have good names,  their names are ministers, governors, senators, etcetera.  But they all have a common true name, they are all "Thieves". A thief is the real good name." Her dad would finally say as he took another sip from the bottle and cleaned his mouth with the back of his hand.


 "Don't say things like these to our little daughter." July's mom would counter as she carried little July on her shoulder and took her inside, away from her now drunken father.

REBORN by kucheli21

In a life of wealth and buoyancy, where troubles seem to float away, one would think dejection impossible. But everything that glitters isn't gold. Life has taught her the painful truth of having it all yet possessing nothing. Determined to prove them wrong, she takes control, twisting the plot to make the story hers. ............ All he was asked to do was pick and drop. But from the moment he heard her name, he knew she was trouble. He hated being indebted to anyone. Boarding the first flight to retrieve a woman who might not match her described innocence, his expectations were shattered. Her ungodly words and reckless actions starkly contrasted the painted picture. This wouldn't be as easy as he thought.

"Which involves being me." ~°~°~°~°~ Uyai is far from being rich. And when we talk about far, we meant FAR. Uyai wasn't a people person.

What would happen when 'T' reaches up to Uyai, claming to be her long lost twin, and also asking for help, to act as her?
