[Authors' Note: Hey there. Sorry I didn't update sooner, I was kind of busy with some outside projects. Anyway, here is the long awaited next chapter of 'Megan's Mirror'! Enjoy!]
Couple of days later:
Constance: Megan…. you have another
letter from England. What do you want
me to do with it?
Be right there aunt Constance.
Downstairs, slightly later:
Wow, this one is heavy and its bigger than the…. last one. I wonder what it could be?
Constance: Only one-way to find out my dear. Open it and see.
*Which I did, and once I had, I was quiet for far too long as I was reading the letter*
Constance: Megan? Are you okay child? What is wrong?
*Wiping away a tear before I look at her. A tear of happiness, not sadness* I'm fine. It's just that this letter kind of made me a bit misty eyed for a second.
Constance: Oh? And what was the letter about?
Its from…. my uncle in England. He wants me to visit. And he said you could too.
Constance: And why was the letter in the envelope it was?
He sent…. me a picture of my brother and my sister along with my cousin whom I didn't know about.
Constance: And was that all that he sent, along with the letter?
No. He sent a couple of tickets to fly to England if need be.
Constance: I see. So do you want to go?
What do you want to do?
Constance: I think this is your decision as much as it is mine. How about this then? You think about it for a couple of days, same as what I will…. then we both see if the decision we reach is the same one?
Sounds good to me.
Couple of days later, towards the end of school:
Constance: Well my girl have you made
your decision yet?
*Nods* I have.
Constance: And what have you decided?
I want to go and see my brother and sister. Same goes for my cousin and my uncle.
Constance: I see. I was hoping you would say that.
*Looks at her, blinking* Why?
Constance: Because I want to get out of the country and see the sites where your mother called home.
Oh.
Constance: So would you like me to call and confirm the flight or do you need to have some more time to think about things?
No, you can…. wait, what will I do in terms of clothes? Shouldn't I pack something?
Constance: *purses her lips thinking* No I don't believe that will be necessary, for you anyway.
Why?
Constance: Because you can buy some new
clothes when you get there. You have
about outgrown what you are wearing, right?
And you have to think about next year and school, right?
Yes. Oh I see what you mean. We can just do my 'back to school clothes shopping' there!
Constance: *Ruffling my hair* you are so much like her its unreal. Well, I suppose I should get to what I was going to do now. You are free to go back and do whatever it was that you were doing when you were brought here by my summons.
Okay. Thanks. Oh and aunt Constance?
Constance: Hmm?
I hope nothing ever happens to make me lose you. You have helped me so much, in overcoming the pain I felt.
Constance: I had no choice in the matter, did I? Now go on…. tend to what you need to, as I have to. *Which we both did*
