WHAT IS LIFE

I know meeting them isn't going to be easy, I wish I didn't have to do this but I know it's the right thing to do. I have always been okay being alone, never needed anyones help. I looked out for myself my whole life and meeting them wouldn't change a thing. I stare at the clock and it's 10hrs in the morning, I am just from taking a shower. The meeting is at 12hrs in the afternoon, I have always been punctual and I must arrive at least an hour earlier. I don't really know what to expect but it's better to get it done with once and for all. I walk into my closet and remove a black lacey dress some heels and a jacket to top it all up. After dressing up, I put my hair in a ponytail and am ready to go. I spent the whole night thinking about this day I barely got any sleep. I am excited and anxious at the same, a lot of emotions brewing up inside of me. I have been hoping we all get along and build a strong relationship. I have always wanted to have people around me who I can count on and this is the best thing that could happen to me. I already prepared my clothes the previous night, a high wasted slightly riped on my thighs and knees black jean trousers with a blue vest and a black leather coat and sneakers to go with the outfit. It's almost 12hrs and am running late. I have never been one to be punctual but for this meeting I need to be on time. I grab my bag and rush to the train station. As I stand in front of the mirror starring at my reflection dressed in a floral dress with a black jacket and some black pumps, I make a little prayer in my heart hoping that all goes well today. I woke up at midnight to pray for this meeting with my sisters. Until a few weeks ago I never knew I had sisters, I have always been by myself and I never had a problem with it. I don't really know how to feel about this it's all happened so quickly my mind hasn't had time to process the information. All I have been able to do is pray over this situation and hope all goes well. I received their pictures and I have an idea of how they look like and without a doubt one can tell we are sisters. As I get into a cub heading to the restaurant I continue to pray the entire drive there because at this point it's the only thing I know how to do best. Immediately I step out of the cub I spot a lady in a black lacey dress and immediately I can tell it's Laura. My heart begins skipping so fast I can barely breath. I take a deep breath and walk towards her. She has not yet seen me cause she is on her phone. I notice how sophisticated and classy she looks and I imagine she must be well to do cause I was told she is a lawyer and owns one of the biggest law firms in the country. Once I get closer I extend my hand to her "Laura, how are you?" Once she looks up at me she immediately stands to shake my hand. "Hey, Maggie; right?" I simply nod my heard in agreement still a little overwhelmed as words fail to come out of my mouth. She immediately points at the chair opposite her as though reading my mind that am still shocked as she takes her sit. An awkward silence breaks as we both drift into our thoughts looking at each other in amusement. I notice how long her floral dress is and wonder if she is one of those goody goody, holier than thou ladies. I finally clear my throat to speak, " It's like a joke that we are finally meeting. What about Bertha, do you know where she is or if she will be coming?" She sits upright as though finally gaining composure of herself, " I am not sure about that but am sure she will be coming." I simply nod and take a sip from the glass of wine which I ordered earlier upon arrival. "Can I pour you a glass of wine?" I ask trying to create some conversation as she is too quiet. "No thanks, I don't drink alcohol." I simply node. "Can I call the waiter you make. My sentence is cut short when I hear a lady from a distance screaming and running towards us and I can tell it's Bertha. Immediately I arrive at the restaurant I notice Laura and Maggie sitting across from each other. I can't help but scream and run towards them. Once I get closer they are both looking at me with not so bright smiles and I just hug them both in my arms. I immediately let go realising we are in public and they both look uncomfortable especially Laura who keeps looking around at the people who are looking at us. " Am so sorry, I am just so excited to finally meet my big sisters." I say once I sit down on the empty chair I find. " It's okay, we are so happy to finally meet you as well Bertha." Maggie says as she hold my hand with a smile on her face which looks genuine. "Wow, you are quite loud and am glad to meet you." Laura finally says as she lifts her hand to call for the waiter. We make our orders and stare at each other not knowing what to say. I can tell Bertha is the most excited from the three of us from how she came and the bright smile on her face.
