Next Day
After the scholarship exam, Chaya took Allegra and Yuka to their house.
Lin's Residence
Mrs. Lin was waiting for them at the doorstep. Chaya ran to excitedly, Yuka and Allegra smiles.
"Mommy ~" she hugs her.
"How is my baby doing?"
"Good. I missed you." Chaya broke the hug.
"Me too. Why did you cancel our date?"
"Well...I wanted to show them around our house and ask you something. Mm.. Mommy met my friends, Allegra Kumi and Yuka Nike."
"Hello Mrs. Lin!" They greeted and bowed.
"Yu.. Yuka?"
'What's she doing here?'
"Mommy, do you know her?" Chaya's brows knitted in confusion.
"N..no I don't." Mrs. Lin smiles. "You're both welcome. How about you come in." She led them inside. "Welcome to our home. Let's go have lunch."
....
Sitting Room
"Baby, what's wrong? You look bothered."
"Mommy, there is something we wanna ask you and please do tell us the truth."
"What?"
"Just promise me Mommy."
"Okay. Mommy promise."
Chaya sighed. "Mommy, is there anything, you're hiding from me, like my identity?"
"What do you mean?"
"Mrs. Lin do you know anything about Nayari or maybe Luma?" Yuka asked.
"What?" She gasps.
"Mommy please do tell us the truth."
"Nayari? I don't know what you're talking about."
"Mommy, please you have to help us. My friends are stuck in that land and they might be in danger. Am I even human?"
"Huh?"
"Mommy, I have powers."
Mrs. Lin's eyes widened. "You have what? How? When?"
"I've unsealed my powers. Mommy, just what are you hiding from us?"
Mrs. Lin let out a heavy breathe. "We're in Nakiyar festival, so we can't go back there. And yes, we're free from Luma."
"Then why did you hide it from me Mommy? Why did you seal my power?"
"That the only way to protect you and please sister!"
Chaya raised an eyebrow. "I have a sister?_
"Yes. A twin."
"Huh? Where is she?"
"Her?" Mrs. Lin glanced at Yuka. "She's here. As in here in Ruma."
"What happened to her?" Her brows knitted in confusion. "Is she alright? Where is she? Who is she?"
"Baby calm down! First, she's alright and yes you do know her but first, we need to find your friends."
Chaya scoffs. "Mommy, do you really think I'm still a child? You're not even worried about the child you lost 22 years ago! Since 21 years of my life, I never knew I wasn't human and now I have a twin and when asked about it, youn don't seem to care. WHY?! WHY?! Why did you seal my powers? Why was I homeschooled? You never let me make friends. You lost your daughter 21 years ago and you're reluctant about it. You never cared to look for her right!!" Chaya was furious. "Mommy, I have had enough of this perishing lies!!" She yelled.
Mrs. Lin furiously raised her hand to slap Chaya.
Chaya was speechless. "You wanna slap me? Why? Because I said the truth? Mom! Am I even your daughter? Why did you hide so many things from me? You never cared about my sister!! Could it be you abandoned her too? Because that's what you're good at!!"
Mrs. Lin slaps her. "LIN CHAYA!!!"
"WHAT!!"
Allegra and Yuka was surprised.
Yuka sneered. "Isn't it? That was how you abandoned Daddy!!"
"Y.. you."
"Why? Sorry to disappoint you Mom! I've never for once forgotten about what happened."
"I never abandoned your father! He was the one who did it!!"
"That's not true! Daddy loves us so much! Because I never asked about him, doesn't mean I've forgotten about him. I didn't wanna remind you about the past."
Allegra and Yuka feel awkward, seeing the mother and daughter arguing.
"How about we give them some space?" Allegra whispers to Yuka.
Yuka nods. When they tried to leave, Chaya sees them and stops them. "Where do you think you're going without me?"
"Uhhh..." Allegra stutters.
"Let's go together!!" Chaya walked out.
"Mmm." Allegra and Yuka bows to Mrs. Lin and left.
Mrs. Lin weakling sat on the floor and sobs. "I'm...I'm sorry. Mommy is sorry." She keeps repeating the same words.
