The truth is now on her way; Discovering her past

"Dear Grandmother Willow

It's been a year since I joined Jamestown. It is really great, it helped me forget. All here are very kind to me, it's like we are a family now.

Nakoma has become like a mother to me. We talk and she tells me her memories of my mother. What I haven't found out still is how my mother got to be closer to natives. Talking about Native Americans, they are great people, loving and carrying, close to nature and lovers of life.

Miranda and Sadiago, the couple I share the house with are lovely as well. Miranda is like a sister to me, and Sadiago like a brother. We tell each other about everything e.g. our dreams and fears. Miranda's father is here, too. His name is Thomas, a man at his late 40s. Despite his years, his hair is red still and he looks pretty young. He seems to be very wise. His son and Miranda's brother will come today to Jamestown because he stayed to France whereas his father returned a month earlier. What's strange about Mr Thomes is that he never talks about his past, not both mine and Miranda's/Sadiago's questions about it. The same does Nakoma. So, I stopped asking and tried to enjoy whatever has been given to be. Also, Guess what! Miranda is pregnant! I am so happy I am going to have a nephew / Niece. Today we're having work; we're going to tide up the basement. We're not allowing Miranda to help of course. Leave you now;

Johanna Rolfe "

"You didn't let me help you, so I've brought you some cookies I made. Gouh, Gouh, there so much dust down here", Miranda told as she put the plate on an old table.

"Yes, there is and it isn't good for the baby. I think you should go up and take a nap", answered Sadiago. Then he kissed her, took a cookie and added "Thank you my love".

Johanna was staring at them "You are a beautiful couple. I wonder if my mother loved my father as much as you love your husband".

Thomas gasped and changed topic "This basement was dirty for so many years, I've never cleaned it up. But now Miranda and Jacob want to put the furniture of her brother's room there. He will live with me now that my daughter is having a baby. Miranda and Sadiago didn't even know there was a basement here".

Johanna was hearing him with interest. As he was telling the last words, her eyes noticed a painting, behind a desk and two chairs. It was all raped in white paper, but it was torn in the right side, so she could see a pair of two blue eyes. She talked towards it, took it and left it on the sofa. Then she lighted a candle, so she could have a better look. As she was moving the paper away, Thomas noticed what she was doing but it was too late. He screamed "Johanna NO". She didn't hear him. She was obsessed by the painting. It showed two figures. There was a man sitting in a chair and a woman on his legs. He was holding her waist tight and had his chin on her shoulder. "This is my mother, Rebecca", she whispered. The woman was brown – skinned with raven her and black eyes. "What is she wearing?" she added seeing her native clothes and necklace. "Who's that man? He is so handsome", she told again, starring at the blonde – haired man. She was hypnotized by his eyes. She came back to reality when she read the names at the very bottom of the painting "Pocahontas and John Smith".

"What's that?", she asked.

"Yes, what's that father? Who's the couple? They are obviously neither me and Sadiago, nor you and my mother", Miranda wondered.
