Mi Hermana Querida Novels & Stories

The lady asked again. She placed her purse on the table and sat down on the only empty chair available. "His date," she blurted again, "I- I mean his sister," April said and Iver snickered in amusement. "What a coincidence!" she said with no enthusiasm, "I'm his sister too, his blood-related sister to be exact," the lady said saucily. "Oh," April uttered, completely speechless. "I'm relieved now. I had initially thought that his pretend family had arranged a bride for him without our knowledge," The lady said, gave them a disgusted look, picked up her purse, stood up and walked away.

Light erupted from the stone. Ryker instinctively reached for me, his hand clasping mine as power surged through the room. The symbols ignited, their glow illuminating the sanctuary with celestial brilliance. A voice echoed through the air. Gentle. Familiar. “Zara.” My breath caught. “Mia?” A spectral figure appeared; translucent, radiant, and achingly familiar. My sister. Tears streamed down my face. “You’re… here,” I whispered. The spirit smiled softly. “Only an echo,” Mia said. “A memory preserved for the one I loved most.”

"This is beautiful Antara,never knew my sister is now richer than I thought" "Yeah,I hope we are able to achieve our goals here in Manila" "I hope so too"She said with a confident smile. "Let's go take our bath" "Yeah,will go undress now" * * We walk downstairs hand in hand,Mom and Mira are already eating so we joined them eating as well. "So you're not missing your mom and siblings already?"Mira asked amidst eating and I smiled. "Not really?"I lied. Yeah,I really lied,why won't I miss the people I spent my whole life with?

"What about Mira?" She looked down at her shoes, partly hidden in the snow. "She's my half-sister." Marigold continued, almost whispering. Nueva laughed. "Oh, I get it now. That's the best news I have heard all day." She reached over and pulled Marigold into a firm hug. Marigold glanced at her, somewhat surprised, but her face soon broke into a smile seeing Nueva's positive reaction. "Welcome to the sisterhood." Nueva chuckled and winked playfully.

She then takes my face in her hands -Mi amor como estas, Dios mio te has vuelto aún más hermosa mira como has crecido. (my love how are you, Oh my God you have become even more beautiful look how you have grown). She looks like she's about to cry. Te extrañé mucho mi hija.(I missed you so much my darling) I just nod my head, not knowing how to respond to this outpouring of love. She moves away from me to leave room for my father

“Just wait. After this, we’ll have our own place. A big kitchen, a big backyard. You’ll have your own room and…” “And you'll finally be able to pursue your dream of being a chef and having your own restaurant,” she finished for me. Her smile trembled. “And... we’ll be happy?” “We will. I promise.” She nodded and suddenly hugged me. “Te amo, mana.” (I love you, sis) I hugged her tighter. “Te amo más.” (I love you more) Then she whispered, “Mientras estemos juntas, todo estará bien.” (As long as we're together, everything will be okay)

"Papi were you giving your family shit because you couldn't find me?" I playfully glare at him. It's hard to stay mad at him. When his tongue makes me feel like an exclusive all you can eat buffet. He rubs the back of his neck as he stammers. “Well.. Mami I.. uh..” I just purse my lips scolding him. “Hmm humph, whatever! There ain’t no excuses for that kinda behavior.” He laughs. So do I as we sit at the counter. Manny sits me in his lap introducing me to them."Tio Edwin y Tia Marie este mi amor, Mi Keya!" (Uncle Edwin and Auntie Marie this is my love, My Keya!)

he asked. It took me a second to remember that I’d called him by name. “Oh. Charlotte. I’m Scott’s sister.” Matthew’s eyes widened. “It’s so nice to finally meet you! Your brother talks about you all the time.” The gator hiding beneath the bridge hissed. “I don’t think he’ll come up here,” Matthew reassured me confidently. “What brings you out in the middle of the night?” Since it was Scott’s best friend, I figured I could be honest. Also, if he owned the place, he probably knew where to find what I needed.

“Oh my God, we are never leaving this boat.” Wearing my bathing suit, I made my way up to the pool deck. Just before I turned the final corner, Mia came in my direction. “I’m sorry,” I said. She shook her head. “No, that’s on me. Old habits die hard but know I’m doing my best to kill this one. It was hearing her name…” Josie. My sister. I nodded. “Now, both of our names are Roríguez.” Mia inhaled. “Well, fuck. You’re right.”

“ That was for making me miss you for two whole weeks. Your sister has been gone for God-knows-how-long. Why do you kids make me worry so much?" I pull her into another hug and kiss her on the cheek. “ lo siento, mi corazon. I’ll try to come often. Work has been stressful.” She glances worriedly at me with one hand on my cheek, “Your face has lost all it’s flesh . You must be tired. Come in, come in. I made enchilada Rojas, quesadillas and Carne asada.”
