SHE

Who had fair and glowing skin... Thick, long, and shiny black wavy hair... A pair of aqua-colored, sparkling eyes. And the one who'd been loved by elders, admired by children, and the pride of the family.

SHE is my sister...

My sister, who had everything that I don't, who got all that I want and received all that I've longed for.

I hate her, but I want to be like her.

Despite being a boy, I strived to be an equal to her. I've grown my hair and taken good care of my skin. I achieved the perfect replica of her.

But just being only a copycat has never been enough.
I lived as a living picture of her image and became the scenery of my family who misses her. I'm still not equal.

Then one day, no one saw it coming...

A circumstance occurred that twisted the cycle of our world which I did not expect would change everything that we used to and opened the door to the next chapter of my bittersweet life.

The circumstance that crossed my path to the girl I never thought would play a huge part in my life...

That one girl who spoiled me with attention and filled my empty existence with genuine affection.

But... In just a blink of an eye, death took her from me.

Her sudden death caused dubiety to all of us...

Suicidal? No... Someone surely murdered her...


But... Our only question is...
.
.
.
Who?

Bittersweet Life

"It's because you're a mother, Georgia. As you said, Gale is your flesh and your blood. Your heart remembered the child you carried for 9 months." Ron caressed her back while tightly embracing her and listening to each sob that escaped from her mouth. "It's just because of your tragic past that's why you failed to notice it."


Georgia distanced herself and lowered her gaze in guilt. "Do you think she will understand that?"


Ron nodded. "Of course. Gale loved you so much, Georgia. She never resented you one bit."


Georgia glanced in Gale's direction and caressed her forehead. "Will she wake up?"


Ron stared at Georgia. He still couldn't believe that Georgia showed the weakest side of her to him. "Yes. She will. Don't worry."


Georgia nodded while wiping her wet cheeks. "I really hope she would because I still have a lot of things to tell her. I want to apologize for everything I've done. I regretted them all."
