to return. It was really nice having you here- the old woman said, tears welling in her eyes.

A warm simile spread across my face despite the tears fighting at the corners of my eyes. “When we first mort, I didn’t realize we would get along si well,” Ladmitted, my voice soft bun filled with sincerity.

We fell silent for almost a minute, but the silence wouldn’t last cause I couldn’t help the questions in my mind. This could be my only chance to find out the truth I thought, seizing the opportunity.

I called sohly with intent to grab her attention. “I was thinking, since you have access to my future, you should also have access to my past. Am I right!”

Her eyes flickered to mine. “What is it that you want to ask, child?” she asked knowingly.

I cleared my throat. “Umm. It’s about any father. Do you know who he is?”

The expression on her face mirrored that of my mother whenever I asked her the same question. For a moment, it felt like I was talking to my mother, but in an older body.

“Carai!” I called once more.

“I think it’s better for you to wait–wait ull your mother is ready to tell you.” She finally said.

I scoffed in disappointment. “Want” Lasked in disbelief. “I thought we were heading somewhere with this” I blurted out in frustration.

“And what’s there that is worth fighting for?” I asked in resignation. “Asher? My already dying career!”

Tears filled my eyes as the next set of words streamed out, “I love my family, but I believe they would do just well without me. After all I never really helped much-”

“Gemini. You can’t say that, we already established the fact that you are stronger than you think.” Saral encouraged, squeezing my hands softly.

I stood still, my eyes fixed on some point in the distance as I spoke in a voice barely above a whisper. “Stronger wouldn’t save me the complications that come with being in his life. It’s all too much for me. It’s peaceful over here, I would rather remain here.”

My gaze remained distant, my shoulders slumped in defeat. I seemed to be shrinking into myself.
