In Search For My Twin - Episode 20

 

Imara's pov

It took me only one week to copy immy's accent. I now know most of the parts of the city and faruk I'd almost ok. His wounds have healed completely however he has scars. That good for nothing man now believes my sister is innocent and that means the game is about to start. I recieved a text from immy saying," hey bestie let's meet up in an hour's time I want to show you something . Love you to the moon and back. XOXO. 

I quickly did my chores dressed up in a long blue dress which faruk bought for me . He prefers I put on long clothes because his a Muslim however he doesn't force me to. Later I my sister picked me up and she took to a certain place . After getting out of the car my jaw dropped in amazement.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I passed my palms in my face to make sure am seeing clearly. 

I saw my grandma sitting on the veranda. She's the mother to my late stepfather.  She loved me and treated me like her own grandchild.  She stayed with me for four days after my mom's death. Grandma I cried as I ran towards her and hugged her so tight. Sister I had imarisha's voice and ran towards her,hugged her so tight and then mubiru. II had even forgotten about immy if not for imarisha who asked,who is that sister? She looks exactly like you

. That's when I turned and saw immy sitting besides grandma.  We also went and joined them on the veranda. She's our sister as well I answered. But why does she look like you big sis she asked again. Do you remember immy who mom said was with the angels, yes she answered.  Then she's the one. Oh you mean she came back from heaven?   Does that mean mom and dad will also come back to us one day. Her words made me think about mom and brought tears in my eyes. They will surely comeback one day I said nodding my head in affirmation.  

I spent the whole day playing with them. Aunt Anna prepared some delicious meal and I helped her in the kitchen . We spent some good time together and I didn't want to leave however I had to. We bed our farewells and promised to visit again. We went back home and on  our way I asked immy to let nana go for sometime since it will be so hard to carry out my plan with her in the house. And she agreed. 

I dropped imara off and went back home. I found Nana watching a movie in the sitting room and dad still not back from drinking with his buddies as usual. Can I talk to you Nana? I said sitting next to her . She paused the movie and looked at me attentively.  Nana you asked me if you can go to see your mom last month right?  She nodded her head saying yes . Do you still want to go? I asked . Yes I would like to go and see her please. Ok Nana I understand how much your mo may mean to you. My friends are coming tomorrow evening and will last for two weeks. I hate it when they boss you around with everything so I decided to let you go but please make sure you come back in two weeks time. Are you sure ? She asked hugging me so tight. Yes I said. But what will I tell your dad?  Just tell him your mom's very sick and tell him you will be back very soon. She was so happy and went straight to her room and started packing her things. I went to my room feeling satisfied.  

On Sunday dad drove Nana to the bus park and I wrng to pick imaea up. When I came back imara hiding in the car boot. I gave the gateman some money after parking my car inside and asked him to buy me some yoghurt.  We entered before he came back. We will be living together in the house now. Faruk had gone back to the village because he had some things to do there. I left imara in my room and prepares myself for the date out. I went and had some good time with my fiance . It has been a hectic week and long time since we spent time together.
