Back for Her

IT was a rainy, chilly day with slow cold wind that left shivers on those who were exposed to it. People walking down the street some in rainy coats while most wielding just umbrellas were startled by the rumbling thunder.

The lighting streak running across the sky seconds before the rumbling thunder. The pavement ground was soaked with water and so were the surrounding plants.

This has been Jennifer Aniston's worst day. The persistent downpour of rain was almost like it emulated her tearful eyes. She was on her knees crying bitterly in agony with only one wish on her mind, that all this was a dream or a bad mirage, she wished their would be no tombstones in front of her, she wished that her parents were alive to hug, pamper and console her. Her persistent and oblivious cry crushed everyone who came along to witness the funeral of her parents.

"Jennifer, sugar plum please, That's enough you are completely soaked if you stay out here much longer your going to catch a cold. Come inside and we will take you to your new home". A lady with a sweet and soft voice gently caressed her shoulder. She raised her head to reveal a fairly aged lady in her mid 40s with a nice, sympathetic look on her face. The woman softly smiled at Jennifer as she used her silk handkerchief to wipe the tears off her eyes and cheeks, she cried even harder when she felt the warmth and comfort from the woman as though it was her own mother. The woman looked perplexed and gave her a consoling hug. They both remained in that state for a while until Jennifer had stopped crying and broke the silence asking;

"Who are you?" She asked looking beyond the woman a man fairly older than her had approached them to stand beside her.

The couple looked at each other and kindly smiled.

"We are a friend of yours mother's, my name is Mrs Mirabel Griffin and this is my husband Donald" . She continued " from now on you will be living with us. We will be your new family". Jenn was shocked even some worth a bit offended.

"But what about my parents if your going to be my new family", jenn said. "Honey am sorry about your loss but your parents are gone and their not coming back, it's unfair yes but thats just the way life is".

Mrs Mirabel took in a deep cold breath and tilted her head in pity and continued.

"I know you miss them but in as much as they are gone they will always be a part of your family", she said this pointing to Jenn's chest.
