Time period: Cally is 21 years old and she has just moved into her new apartment in US.
Cally's Pov: Everything was going good since the time I had been discharged from the hospital.
I had finally moved in to my new apartment and my parents had also found a rented accommodation for themselves in the same neighborhood just leaving 3-4 houses.
I was finally trying to be happy and live my life.
Sure there was a constant fear in the back of my mind of that monster coming back, which made me more guilty for hiding such a big truth from my father.
But I was happy till the time my father made no contact with him.
Everything was going good. My new University was amazing which i started going to as soon as I moved in starting Monday.
I even made a new friend Celine who was exactly like me in so many ways. We shared Soo much in common like favorite books,movies,shopping etc. She even wore clothes like me.
At first nobody could tell us apart except for our hair colours. My hair colour was honey brown while her hair colour was jet black which told the people the difference between us two.
It was like she was my lost twin or something.
Soon weeks went by and my life was finally coming back on track.
Even I had not heard anything from my uncle so I thought that he must have run away and forgotten all about me.
But I was so wrong. One day when I was at college I got a call that my parents had been in an accident and they had been admitted to St. Bunt hospital.
I was heart broken and completely shattered. I ran to the hospital as fast as I could.
On reaching the hospital the doctors told me they could not save my parents.
On hearing the news I was so shocked that I fainted on the spot.
A team of nurses running to me was the last thing I saw when everything went blank.
When I woke I was in the hospital bed.
At first I thought this was all a joke and my parents would come anytime to see me.
But unfortunately, it was not my parents but the police and the detectives that entered my room.
They said they were very sorry for my loss and told me there was no way of saving my parents as it looked like a well executed and planned accident where the driver hit my father's side of the car very badly dragging it along the road ultimately making it hit with a truck and the car to burst into flames.
I was shocked on hearing the news. The detectives asked me if I had any idea someone was trying to kill them?
To which I replied No!
I started crying badly as the realization finally got me that I was all Alone.
I started shouting to the sky" why God Why"? "Why me always?"
"Whenever something good is happening you have to take it away from me. "
Seeing my condition the doctors rushed to me and told me that I should consult a psychologist for my condition who would make me feel better. They even told me the bill was on the hospital and they handed me a card which had the details of the psychologist.
I was so numb at that stage that I could not even utter a single word let alone pick the card up given to me by them.
Everything had happened so suddenly that i did not get time to mourn.
All the memories were running in my head like a broken record.. all the good times, all the silly fights I used to have with them, their concern for me, their possessiveness, the quality of sharing and equality between us siblings.
Speaking of siblings do they know of the accident?.
So coming out of my shock just as I was about to leave the room, my phone started ringing.
At first I did not want to pick up as it was from a private unknown number but something in my Gut was telling me to pick up.
Just as I picked up the phone and said"hello"
Someone on the other line started laughing loudly and they said" you thought you could win and run from me little one? "
If yes, then you are a fool because see your dear parents had to pay for a sin they never committed. So sad.
On recognising his voice I shouted you monster how dare u do this to my family to your own brother??
He got angry and said you bitch how many times have I told you he was not my brother and he deserved to die anyway.
I started crying and said u killed them deliberately why?
To which he answered "simple to take revenge from you and to give you a lesson that you can never run away from me"
Why did you kill my mother I started shouting if u claimed you love her?
That sick bastard started laughing again and said your whore of a mother would have never accepted me after your father's death hence I killed her too.
"You sick bastard I will kill you." I replied in my sobbing state.
"Haha you will never be able to do anything to me bitch or you know the consequences and plus this time I will surely finish the job I left 3 years ago. I should have raped you is the biggest regret of all. But once I lay my hands in you I swear I will surely do the deed this time."
Sleep with your eyes open woman cause I am coming for you. And don't you dare tell this to anyone or I will not hesitate in taking another life probably amongst your brother or your sister. You never know. So tread carefully.
And with that he cut the call.
On hearing his voice all the memories started coming back in my head which I had tried to bury all these years.
I fell on the floor and sobbed loudly and kept on chanting " Mom Dad I am so sorry I should have warned you please forgive me"
Please come back I shouted and was crying badly.
This was the condition in which someone found me and wrapped their arms around me. I was so exhausted that I did not realise when my room's door was opened and who had wrapped me in their arms.
Till the time that person said Sh-Sh don't cry love Mom Dad won't like it and that's when I realised that my elder sister was here who had hugged me and she was crying too.
I was So realived that I was not alone. I hugged her back and asked her how she came here and how did she come to know?
She told me she got a call from the hospital and she said" imagine my state when I got to know that my parents were no more and that my younger sister unconscious and in a unstable state at the hospital. "
I was so scared that something would have happened to you.
So I flew overnight and came directly here.
I can't lose you too sister. We have already lost Soo much.
"You would never lose me sis I promise you that", I said to her.
What about our brother? Does he know?
No! He doesn't I did not have the courage to tell him. Now that we are together we will tell him the news together.
I said ok and hugged my sister back and started crying and venting out my pain. In my emotional state I was gonna tell my sister all about that monster to when I remembered his warning and I bit my tongue and refrained from telling her.
But as usual my sister being a Lawyer caught me and she kept on pestering me what I was not telling her but I said nothing and to divert the topic I told her all about Celine.
My sister was astonished about hearing her and told me she would meet her before leaving.
I thought I had managed to divert my sister's brain from the secret.
However she did not forget about it and told me she would find it out herself one way or the other.
As we were about to leave the room, there was a knock.
My sister went to open the door and that's when a lawyer entered into our room.
He introduced himself as our parents lawyer and told us that we needed to come to his office tomorrow for the will reading of our parents.
We never knew our parents had a will.
So we thanked the lawyer and told him we would be there tomorrow.
As he left my sister closed the door and told me to go home and pack my bags as I was going back with her tomorrow after the will reading.
I was in a no state to fight back so I complied and that's how we went out of the hospital together to my new apartment.
On reaching my apartment I asked my sister if she wanted something to drink?
She said "no" but she did ask me a question which made me stop where I was going.
She asked me if I knew how our parents died?
At first I became quiet but after a few seconds in order not to create a doubt in my sister's head and get to know her about the truth or to put her in trouble I told her I did not know.
I told her all I knew was that it was an accident and a drunk driver had hit them.
At first my sister seemed to believe my story but she later told me that she knew I was hiding something very important which I was not telling her. I turned my head the other side and told her I was not hiding anything.
She did not believe a word I said and told me that even if I did not want to tell her she will find out about it herself.
With that she left my place not before telling me that tomorrow before the will reading she wanted to visit the apartment where our parents lived.
I said " ok " and after that she hugged me and kissed me on the head and told me to take care myself and left.
