Flower on the ash

AHH!!

When we both grew up the properties were given to my elder sister Sophia and me by 70:30. Both the woman started hating me because of a 30% share in the property and treated me like an object. Sophia broke the vase but shifted the blame on me. I started to clean the mess when one of the pieces pierced into my finger tearing my skin. My eyes got wet because of the pain but unfortunately to them, my best friend Kelly was there and she recorded everything and gave it to my dad. She got scolded by dad. I'm sure the worst is yet to come because of the incident that took place today.

It was evening and I was sitting beside my window seeing the sunset slowly and slowly. There was a knock on my door. I shifted my gaze from the window to the door which was opened. I saw my sister standing at the entrance of the door asking for permission to come in. It was the first time she has asked for permission to come into my room. I said she can come in. She took a deep breath and sat on the bed.

For a few seconds we both were silent, then she spoke, " I'm sorry for what happened today. I realized my mistake can you forgive me?"

I was utterly shocked. I wasn't even able to speak a word so I just nodded, then she continued, " I know what I have done should not be forgiven by mere words so I wanna show my gratitude towards you. Will you come with me to dinner as a younger sister?" she asked.

I was shocked but by hearing 'younger sister' from her mouth I felt my heart melting and tears started filling up my eyes. I hugged her tightly and said, " You don't have to do that. I'm very happy by your apology only and I have already forgiven you. " Now tears were rolling down my cheeks.

"Hey! You don't have to cry and I am going to take you to a meal with me. It will be fun. Okay. Come with me. " she said rubbing my back to console me. I agreed to her invitation and said that I will be ready in 15 minutes. She left the room and I shut the door. It was the first time I was going to eat outside with a family member. In past, I never got a chance to dine outside with a family member. I went a few times with Kelly, my best friend. I texted her everything that happened after she left. I turned off my phone and started to dress up.

After 15 minutes I came downstairs to see my sister already waiting for me. She smiled looking at me and I returned the smile to her. I looked around but no one was there except us in the house.

When I finally came downstairs I asked her, " Where are mother and father? "

" They went out to attend a party. They will be back till midnight. Don't worry. We will be back before them. " she replied. We left the house and took a cab to go to the hotel. After 20 minutes or so we reached the hotel. It was a 7-star hotel. I had once heard about it by my father when he was talking to someone. We both entered the hotel. In the reception, we registered for our seats. As Sophia forgot to bring her ID card with her I gave mine.

We sat on the chairs and a waiter placed drinks in front of us. I extended my hand to take the drink but Sophia held my hand. She said, " Anna I think I dropped my hairpin near your leg. Please give it to me. "

I withdrew my hands and bend over to search for the hairpin that my sister dropped. l didn't saw anything so I again sat straight to tell that I didn't see anything.

" Oh! Then I must have dropped it in the cab. Don't worry. Drink this. " she pushed the glass in my hands. I drank it sip by sip and talking to my sister in between.
