The Other Daughter

She left the supermarket. Carrying her tray and hearing her daughter talk about her day at school. She is not really listening. But, just trying to show that she is paying attention. Until, her daughter said 'The other daughter'. That did ring a bell and bring a lot of memories.

It was a sunny day. She walks with a mind filled with talks. It is like if she is alone in a room and everyone around her is talking and repeating that phrase. She feels isolated from the whole world at this moment. Just a mother with a shattered heart and every word brings a different kind of sorrow. It was too difficult to hold back tears. But, she tried to not show any of it to her daughter. However, the memories are hitting all vulnerable places in her heart. She could not stop thinking about the time that her sister went missing. She remained the other daughter from that moment onwards. She re-lived every moment again. The people are walking passed by her, and it feels like she is alone in this whole world again. She still owns their old house. But, if there was a power that brings back the same places. Who would bring the people that filled those empty spots all around.
