My name is Maya.
I…don't know how old I am.
I am…different to most people.
I can channel spirits.
Talk to them…
And let them use my body as a host.
I have a father and a mother.
Whom I both love very much.
But the person who I love most.
Is my older sister.
…
Daddy died before I got to know him.
And soon after, Mama left me.
I don't know why.
Was it something I did...?
But still, I was happy.
Because I had Mia.
She was the one who taught me everything.
How to count, how to channel…
How to love.
I have an aunt.
She doesn't seem to like Sis and I very much.
I don't mind though.
I also have a cousin.
Her name is Pearl.
I call her Pearly.
And I love her almost as much as Mia.
…
Mia went to become a lawyer.
She said that it was to find Mum.
I said that I would do everything to support her.
She promised to call me whenever she could.
…
It's been several months now.
I remember how she rang on the morning of that day.
I had missed her so much.
We talked.
Chatted.
And teased each other.
Just like always.
She told me to come to her office at nine.
The train was delayed that day.
And I got there later than I had expected.
…
I didn't even get to say good bye.
…
My name is Maya.
I am now seventeen.
There are three people whom I cherish.
And love with all my heart.
Pearly.
Nick.
And Mia.
She hasn't left me, you know…
And neither will Pearly and Nick.
They will always be with me.
Forever.
And ever.
End
