Ah! Aria I hate you!!! she screamed at me, but why? I asked her.You, ...Aria this...Aria that everyone filling my ears with your name you are too good I tell you... too good...how do you do it? ehn? how?
As she spoke her eyes burned she was so filled with hatred it couldn"t be hidden by her at all, if not that we are related by blood i would have killed you long ago, what i hate the most is this our blood relationship. I was struck dumb by the sheer force of it. Where did so much animosity come from? I asked no one in particular. Turning to my sister Alia I tried to calm her down, Alia you too are good at heart, you have your own positive side too which we all love and...
...but its you everyone sees and hears, no matter what I do I can never outshine you why? this world can only contain one of us she finished.
Next thing I know she hit me on the head with the gla.s.s flower vase, it was only when she raised it up I saw that she was holding it all along, the first hit brought me down, I hit the floor blood oozing out of a big gash on my head but she followed me and hit my head two more times by the second hit I was already gone.
I stood there watching her kick my body over and over in frustrated rage when she saw I was no longer moving after sometime she squat down and checked seeing as I was truly dead she calmly took a wash bowl and towel and wiped all the blood stains from my body then she lifted me to the bed neatly changing my blood stained clothes for her neat clothes she then covered me with blanket and left the room, no matter what I did I couldn"t wrap my head around the fact that I was dead I tried to return to my body to no avail.
Aria looked at everyone in the room, it was a horrible feeling, I saw my own body lying there it means I was dead right? so why was I still here then? Then I saw my mum she mistook me for Alia so I was curious, then I saw my sister Alia all dressed up like me, same hair style, she was in my clothes, and she had my gla.s.ses on. Mother addressed her as Aria I was shocked, no matter how I screamed that I was Aria and she is Alia no one heard me.
Sunil also fell for it once he came back and saw my dead body he taught of doing our hand sign, face sign and word sign but even though secretly done she got them all so he smiled and relaxed and kissed her forehead, to say I was astounded was an understatement, that was when it dawned on me that all this while my sister was learning our secret signs, she was not changed, no not at all, and Sunil and i was non the wiser.
Only my son Arjun, senses there is something wrong anytime she touches him he throws a tantrum only Sunil could keep him comforted.
To my utmost surprise Alia asked to take care of my remains and everyone agreed thinking it was Alia oh! this all so confusing but what did she do? once she got the approval she took me and buried my body under one of the room in our old house, the floor was dug up then she placed some wood on it then covered it with sand and left, she told them she had taken care of everything and no one asked how? she now had everything she wanted except for my son and she is now planning to get rid of him.
This is the reason I needed help and the fact I can"t move on, at least I wouldn"t have seen how despicable my sister is.
Aria looked at Ayanna can you save my son and husband and also recover my body so I can get a proper burial? I mean can you figure out a way to make my family know that it was actually Aria that was killed?
Ehm! can I ask a question? Ijey asked. I mean I want to ask Aria a question, should I?
Please do! Aria answered.
How are we sure you are really Aria and not Alia trying to make us push the real Aria out of the house?
I can answers that Ayanna said... noooo cut in Aria.
Everyone turned to look at her questioning her response, you know if I didn"t want you to read my mind you can"t, its believed that ghost has no taught but Ayanna already read my mind, as she can my taught were open the day we met, I didn"t even know someone was there while I wept in frustration, you will soon see that am the real Aria once we see Sunil.
You said Alia already knows all the codes between you and your husband Sunil? so how? Ijey asked again.
Once we are with him we can clear all your questions, did you forget that its only with my husband that I shared the most intimates of things? therefore, he will clear this remember he doesn"t even know he isn"t with Aria but with Alia.
Now guys how do we sort out this beautiful lady? and it must be done today so she can go rest in peace. Ayanna asked glancing at everyone.
I will take a team of professional bodyguards to the place where Aria"s bidy was dumped in and secure it, while we wait for you to bring her husband and mother to the site, I will also have the police on standby to arrest Alia once she gets here except Aria doesn"t want that.
Your job is actually much more difficult my Darling the Prince said to Ayanna, please be careful its obvious her sister is emotionally unstable and might do the unthinkable, safety first luckily this should go well since Aria can be seen as long as she is wearing your bead, bending he placed a kiss on her forehead and said I will go first, then wait for you to bring the other party over to us, Ayanna nodded so he turned and left.
Ken you already know what to do, yes boss! everyone take ten minutes to get ready and out, Hillary hope you are set if we need you ...yes, yes! am ready to change to whatever you want me to Hillary finished.
Everyone left and came back before ten minutes.
Aria gave Ayanna her bead back, after making sure they understood her address she told her she will wait for them there, outside the gate then she left.
Ayanna, Ijey and Hillary then boarded the jeep that Ken had running and drove off to Aria"s place, it wasnt long before they got there then Aria joined then.
Ayanna asked that everyone be quiet let her send her magic in to be sure of the condition of things before they went in.
Aria what do you think should be our entrance reason? it has to be something believable.
Tell who ever opens the door that you are from grandma Pamirs NGO to see Aria.
If they say why tell them either her or her sister has something to inherit once you get seated and she appears ask her to send for her husband that its important make it sound serious then once Sunil comes and ask what was going on just hand me the bead, then we play it from there.
