Her mother Jennet was a strong, independent and beautiful woman. She hold a position of marketing director in a small profitable company in Chester City.

When Jennet was Hospitalised Soniya was one who took care of her friend however, Jennet didn't sustain her health longer and day by day her health was degrading gradually. When doctors say their last word, "Mrs. Jennet has only a few hours left." Soniya was holding Susan close to her...Susan had a blank expression on her face and her eyes seemed so emotionless. Soniya looked at her and cried bitterly but Susan had no emotion. She didn't cried even once. When the ward boy and doctor came out of the ICU with the dead body Soniya just noticed a blank expression on Susan's face. Susan hold her mother's icy cold palm for one last time and then the ward boy took the dead body.

POV of Soniya
Susan didn't eat, sleep or talk properly for the last week.. and even at the graveyard she didn't speak a word to anyone or even with me. I am worried about that girl. She was always so bright and had a smile on her face whenever I visited Jennet at their home.
But now the girl in front of me is not the same Susan... I felt a cry inside my heart seeing Susan devastated completely.
Amid my thought my attention was caught at the gate of the church... a large number of people wearing black suit and black aviators suddenly entered the church yard and stand in two rows at the gate making an aisle. A tall young man enter through the gate and walked towards us. I went forward and one stand before him. The man said, "Hi, my name is Sabastian... Sabastian Fullbaster.." I was surprised hearing the name..."Fullbaster, one of the business tycoons of UK"...
I was so surprised that for a moment I didn't knew what to say... After 5 seconds...I was broken from my daze as Mr. Fullbaster said, "I am here to meet my sister..Susan".

At the church everyone was crying and consoling me and aunt Soniya but to me their words came at a very low pitch and from far away...I couldn't hear them properly. I was only watching the casket where my mother was sleeping peacefully...I was thinking of the good times we had together. Planning each other birthdays, weekend trips, yearly long trips and long journeys...
