CHAPTER 61

  Raya stood in the garden area staring at the plant longer than she had expected. She was so glad they were back home and just maybe her sisters could reunite once again with her, her hands gently caressed the flower unhurriedly.

  "Raya, tell me how it was like living in another state?" Lisa asked startling Raya a little bit.

  "Uhmmm, to be honest,___ everything went so well!" Raya answered simply and politely.

  "Did you have fun? Did you have many friends over there?" Lisa asked.

  "Well, I had friends but not a lot," Raya told her before sniffing the flower she had plugged out.

  "Uhmmm__ don't you ever miss being with your real parent?" Lisa asked as Raya gave her a half smile.

  "Sorry about that, I thought that you already knew that Aunt Claudia wasn't your real mother. I honestly didn't mean to offend you, me and my big mouth should learn how to shut it!" Lisa said glaring at the floor with a decoy grimace.
