Convulsed truth

"You are not going anywhere" Prachi said as she stood close to the door.

"You can't tell me what to do, at least I'm leaving the child with you. You should look after her well, I'm not really bothered about her upkeep because you have the money" Jelly commented shamelessly.

"Aren't you ashamed of yourself? How can you even say that? You want to leave your daughter for me, a stranger. Are you not scared of me? What if I take her away? Or something happened to her?" Prachi queried.

"You can go ahead and do anything you like, it's your choice" Jelly sneered, she don't feel like talking too much now but the look on Prachi's face shows she was ready to make her talk all day.

"Is that your decision? I can do whatever I want with her, a mother should always protect her child all day long" Prachi scoffed looking dejected.

"It's not my decision, it's yours. I'm just saying what's on my mind, nothing else" Jelly retorted.

"What if I kill her?" Prachi asked with a stern tone, Jelly sigh and lift her clothe.

"Then you will be punished" Jelly reminded.

"I will be punished?" Prachi scoffed.

"So what will happen to you then? Won't you be punished as well?" Prachi asked.

"Why will I be punished? Did I commit any crime?" Jelly asked.

"I will be more happy anyway, you solved a tactic problem which I have been struggling with for a long time now" Jelly added and smiled.

"You should feel sorry for all your crimes and not try to worsen your present situation" Prachi said and bite her lip as if wondering if she should punish her or not, she still finds it difficult to understand humans.

"You can go ahead and do whatever you like, I will be happy. At least she will be out of my way but unfortunately you will not be spare by the law, you will be punished accordingly" Jelly said and smiled, she will set this bait properly so it can be successful. Killing Ana is what she tried to do since the child was born but no way about it, she couldn't do it, all her plans prove abortive especially with the rampant laws protecting children.

"You left your child with me without consideration, I think you should be punished alone, only stupid mothers behave like this. Do you think I'm that good to take care of your daughter? You better have a rethink" Prachi reprimanded.

"If you are not good then throw her into the street, let her live there and struggle for survival" Jelly deadpanned and roll her eyes.

"How can you even say that? She is your daughter, you want such a mean life for her. Why are you so heartless? You should feel remorseful for what you have done" Prachi chastised fusing with anger.

"Well, it's fine. She is not really my daughter anyway" Jelly whispered and smiled as if she won a trophy for her misbehaviour.

"You can say that again, it suits you" Prachi said and sigh, Jelly faced her clothes and started throwing them inside the bag, this lady will not stop making her furious. She feel like strangling both of them before leaving the house but no, she won't do that, she can't do that, at least not now.

"I don't want to say anything again, please leave my room. My mood swings is getting high and I don't want that but the longer you stay the higher it will be" Jelly said without looking at her, she made up her mind to pack and leave without any interruption, this house is already making her feel uneasy. Prachi walked to her in anger and held her hand pulling her so they could face each other.

"I know you are dwelling in secrets but that doesn't give you the right to abandon that girl, she called you mother all her life, how will she feel if you abandon her?" Prachi asked.

"She will be happy, at least no more torment" Jelly said and tried to drag her hand but she couldn't.

"Let go of my hand now, don't you know it hurts" Jelly shouted but Prachi refused to let go, she was tensed as she contemplate on what this lady said. 'Are humans like this? Don't they have feelings for their family? Is this how children are abandoned at a young age? This woman is heartless and wicked, even after killing her sister she doesn't feel sorry and now she plans on eliminating the little girl as well' Prachi thought as she look into her eyes, she must find out the truth today.

"I want to know everything you are hiding, tell me what it is" Prachi said and tighten her grip.

"Is it your business? Why are you interfering in my personal life? Who gave you that right?" Jelly shouted and struggle to free herself.

"Don't worry, I will still find out" Prachi said and held her head immediately without her knowledge.

"You are so fast" Jelly acknowledged.

"Just the beginning" Prachi said as she look straight into her eyes and release a substance into them.

"Tell me the truth, say everything without holding back" she said and release her head, Jelly held her head with her hands shaking, she felt something strange in her body, she tried to hold herself as she feel it move all over her but she failed several times.

"What have you done to me?" she asked and cried out as she fell on the floor.

"Nothing, you will be fine soon" Prachi said and smiled.

"I just need a little information from you, do you...

"Mummy" Ana interrupted looking at Jelly who was on the floor.

"What happened to you? What have you done to my mother?" she asked and ran to meet Jelly.

"This evil lady did something awful to me, do you see why you should avoid her?" Jelly asked and cried more.

"Keep quiet, better stop pretending. How long can you keep up with the act? You are not even a good actor" Prachi scoffed.

"Aunt, what happened to her?" Ana asked looking at Prachi.

"Nothing darling, she is fine" she replied and look at Jelly.

"You are fine, aren't you?" she asked and smiled as Jelly stood up feeling frustrated, she sat on the bed and hissed.

"I know my mom would be fine, you will never hurt her" Ana said and held Prachi's hand.

"I'm feeling so uneasy, I wonder what you put inside my body" Jelly complained.

"Did I put anything inside your body? I just blew some fresh air in your eyes, there was dirty inside" Prachi said and smiled.

"My eyes were fine" Jelly retorted and sneered.

"Why am I feeling awful? Why does it keep playing in my head? I did what I did and I don't regret it" Jelly said as she held her head and sigh.

"What are you talking about mom?" Ana asked feeling confused.

"If you want to say anything, make me understand" she said and Jelly turned to her.

"You should be happy you are alive, you should be thanking me, I should have gotten rid of you as well" she said and smile.

"What do you mean by that?" Prachi asked and fold her hand on her chest.

"Are you asking me? I thought you can read people's minds or can't you read mine?" Jelly mocked while Prachi sigh deeply.

"Your mind is too complicated, you are hiding a lot" she commented and sat on the bed.

"You might develop a heart disease soon because of this complications" she added.

"My mom will be fine, I know she will be" Ana scolded while Prachi smiled.

"Heart disease? It's good, at least I have a lot of things to let go of, I will even stop regretting" Jelly said and look at Prachi.

"Don't say that mom" Ana said and cried.

"Stop calling me mother, I am not your mom" Jelly retorted and sneered.

"Don't say that? Are you still angry with me? You are my mom and I know it" Ana said and cried more.

"Keep quiet, you and your mother made my life miserable, you made my life a living hell" Jelly shouted which puzzled Ana, Prachi wasn't surprised as she expected the worst, she knew the truth already but she still prefer the sinner to say everything with her mouth.

"Ana if you won't keep quiet and listen, then you should go outside" Prachi said and look at her, Ana walked to her and hug her still crying.

"It's okay" Prachi said as she pat her head.

"Anytime I see you, I became angry, you are just like your mother. I will never regret what I did, I did the right thing" Jelly commented and smile.

"Are you sure you did the right thing by killing your sister?" Prachi asked in a low tone, Jelly sigh heavily and look at her.

"Yes I did, why would she do that? She betrayed me, she didn't do as we planned and it hurts. We promised to stick together, she was my better half. Being identical twins, we were inseparable, we look just alike and she used that to betray me" Jelly shouted and cried.

"Tell me what happened, you will feel better if you say it" Prachi said, Ana raised her head and look at Jelly.

"I don't mind feeling awful, I don't care if anyone said I'm wicked but she deserves everything. I should have done more than that, I should have made her suffer more" Jelly caterwauled and look at Ana, anger was all over her face as she condemned herself for not killing her as well, she sigh deeply and smile remembering the old days before all this mess.

"One sunny afternoon" she sigh again as if contemplating on saying it, she smile and look at the television that was hanging on the wall facing them.

"I went shopping groceries, that day I was off work and I planned to spend it doing nothing other than lazy about in the house when I noticed the fridge and shelf were far way empty. Tiredness was so downed on me that I feel frustrated for the empty shelf, what could I do? Nothing other than to go shopping, I slipped on a pair of jeans and T-shirt making everything simple, I can't even imagine wearing something complicated. Looking at myself in the mirror one last time, I hop out of the house to get a cab. Getting one wasn't difficult and before I knew it, I was on my way to the mall within few minutes" she sigh again and look at Prachi.

"You know what happened here right?" she asked rhetorically.

"You met him.......Jace" Prachi shuttered and curled her lips.

"I'm still amazed that you killed your sister because of a man" she said in a low tone.

"She deserves it, I met him first. I loved him first and it was me he loves" Jelly shouted.

"You deceived him, you deceived your sister as well. She trusted you with her life, she stand by you all the time, she even supported you not knowing you are the one behind everything" Prachi retaliated with disdain.

"Stop supporting her as if she was always right, what will you do if you were the one? Someone you loved so much was taken away from you within a wink of an eye, why did she start loving him after I introduced her to him? They were co-workers, couldn't they love each other before then? Why did it start after my introduction?" Jelly shouted and cried.

"She betrayed me" she added and slip on the floor from the bed.

"Jace is a nice guy I know, tell me what happened then, you were about to meet him, the fact that I already know it won't stop you from saying it" Prachi said and look at Ana.

"Don't be scared okay, you have to know the truth anyway" she added and Ana nod without a word.

"I was just picking some chocolates when I noticed someone behind me facing the opposite shelf, I ignored him but my head keep turning at interval to steal a glance at him. He was tall with broad shoulders, I noticed he was the kind of man I dreamed of having, he was captivating even from behind putting on pants and suite which indicate he was coming from office, maybe it was lunchtime and he decides to pick some snacks, I continue stealing glances at him from time to time making me lose concentration. Suddenly he turned and our eyes met, my heart almost jumped out of my chest, it melts completely and start rebuilding without hesitation, I couldn't take my eyes off him and he was staring at me too which made me imbalance and I almost fell just that he was quick to hold me leaving his shopping trolley behind. He was so handsome with his oval face, his brows were curved like a lady's own, brown eyes well positioned in their socket with a pointed nose and soft pink lips that I feel like kissing at the moment. I just couldn't get my eyes off him, he was truly the type of man I want. His husky voice soon brings me back to my senses as he let go of me maybe he was wondering if I was okay or not. He took his trolley and left without another word, his dark hair was well combed backwards, very light in complexion, well built and tall, I even like his voice and his accent seem to draw me closer to him. I didn't find any fault in him, I smile and pushed my trolley away without picking any chocolate, I totally forgot that, his image keeps playing in my head again and again and I wondered if this is love" Jelly stopped suddenly and twist her hair as she realized it was a mistake they met, a grave mistake that she fell in love with him but why is she regretting her actions now? Wasn't it right?
