Chapter 2
(Myra’s POV)
Calling a toddler, a sl*t was just, I think she had mental issues. Anyways, so that’s the reason why I have always hesitated to search for my biological family. But now that I see Nora so happy, there is an abrupt desire to meet my parents too.
My adoptive parents are not very wealthy people but they are a very loving and a caring bunch. They have never in my whole damn life made me feel left out on any occasion, that’s also one of the reasons I didn’t wanted to know who my birth parents were. I just don’t want to break their hearts. My folks are very genuine and doesn’t make me feel adoptive. They have always treated Wendy, their biological child and my sister and me equally, in every possible way.
My chain of thoughts were broken by Nora chimes, “Ra-ra, I’m telling you, you coming with me to Kimberg. Hey, are you even there p>
“Huh, what did you say?” I was so lost in reminiscing the past that I didn’t hear her chattering at all.
“Are you even listening to me, goshh? I said, you are coming with me, to Kimberg and I am not going to take no for an answer, got it p>
I furrowed my brows at her suggestion, or rather her orders, feeling utterly perplexed. “You know that cannot happen right now. I can’t go with you for now but I will surely visit you there after I am all done with my college semester” I conveyed my words firmly to Nora.
Sighing deeply, she held my hands and said, “I don’t want to affect your studies so for the sake of it I will not force you but you have to keep your promise. As soon as you are done with this semester, come there on your own without me asking you to. Otherwise, I will hunt you and fetch you from your college and wouldn’t let you got and you these are no empty words p>
“Okay, you highness” I laughed at her all serious tone, whenever she give orders like that she looks damn funny.
“I am pretty serious. I want you there” she kept on insisting with a serious look on her face.
“Myra Miracle promises ‘Nora Smith’, ohhh sorry, you are ‘Noah Everest’ now. Let me start over again. Ahem ahem, Myra Miracle promises ‘Nora Everest’ to visit her to Kimberg as soon as this semester is finished, which is about two months from now own, happy?” I made a vow to her.
“Good, now I can go there with ease p>
I asked with curiosity stricken eyes, “so tell me about this new or rather old family of yours. hmm? How are they? Whom you have met until now? What was you first impression of them?”, a flurry of questions.
There was a faint smile plastered on her rose beige face after I asked her so many questions.. She started with, “I haven’t met all of them yet, only my blood father. He seemed stoic at first but is a very warm and kind person. I can’t wait to meet all of the, in person” she giggled while sniffling a little.
“They surely will love you as you are. You deserve all the love” I chimed in return. “So when are you leaving for Kimberg p>
“In two days” she voiced it faintly that I was barely able to hear her whispering sound.
“What, why are you leaving so soon?” I fired back another question.
She hesitated, “things just happened very quickly, sooooo p>
“Sooooo?” I pressed on her. She tried to dodge the subject but I insisted stubbornly, “Tell me, you are hiding something from me, isn’t it p>
Nora laughed nervously, not making any eye contact, “Why, why will I do that? You are reading too much into it” and tried to shrug me off.
I held her shoulders and made her look me straight into the eyes, “Say that to my face again p>
She bit her lips and said defeatedly, “I don’t want to live in that household anymore Myra p>
