86 Johanna Lim 2

"Mary do you really have to go far away for college? You can just stay here, we have good enough colleges in Fountain Country to get a degree, and besides, your family owns a hospital, you really don't have to work hard." Johanna pouted, it will be the first time in so many years that the two cousins will be separated.Johanna and Mary grew up together and was close enough like how siblings are, they went to at the same school since their preparatory until high school, but now, Mary decided to take up Fashion and will be going overseas to study, and she will be left out.

"Hmmpf, I just can't understand you sometimes Mary." she started to get teary-eyed, she would surely miss her cousin."Jo, you know how I love fashion and I want to pursue it. Don't worry, I will call you every day and will come home every break so that we can see each other.I will also ask Uncle to let you visit me if you are on break too, that way you won't miss me so much." Johanna was younger than Mary about a year, so she needed to wait another year in order to go to college and again follow Mary's footsteps.

Johanna and Mary hugged each other tightly at the airport, "Don't cry Jo, I promise to call and text you every day.I will miss you too my sweet." then Mary gently kissed Johanna's cheek....that was the last time that she saw her cousin alive and well, the next she heard was after giving birth, she was very excited to go back to Fountain Country after their family vacation, but when she came back, her cousin, the person she adored so much, the person she was longing so much to see and hug, was not lying inside the coffin.

The moment Johanna saw the coffin, she cried out loud, like her heart was ripped into shreds, how can this be, didn't you promise to wait for me Mary, didn't you say that we will be together next year, why, Mary please wake up, please don't do this to me...She was so heartbroken that she collapsed after a few minutes of crying, she just can't accept the fact that the cousin that she missed so much can never talk to her again, can never smile with her again, how can she go on, her soul sister.....was...dead...

At present....

"You must have found it weird for a stranger to look at you intensely, it's just that you really look alike the person that I haven't seen for a very long time." then she touched her chest, it was beating rather fast, she was really excited and anxious at the same time, why does this young lady look so much like Mary?

"I am Johanna, Johanna Lim...Can I ask what is your name young miss?"

"Oh, by the way my name is Margaret, Margaret Son" Marga replied automatically, then she remembered something, " but my maiden name is Lim....."then she glance at the woman in front of her, they have the same last name, what a coincidence, could it be....she brushed the thought aside, there are a thousand to a million people whose last name is Lim.

"Your last name is also Lim, what a coincidence Margaret!" then she thought, her eyes went wide open in shock, Mary's daughter's name is Margaret too, can this be a coincidence as well, this is just too much of a coincidence if you ask me."Did you just got married my dear?" she asked sweetly, trying to recover from the shock she just had.

"Yeah, we are on our honeymoon, we will be going home tomorrow, my husband only has three days leave from his workplace." Marga did not mind so much about her reaction, she has seen her eyes grew wide in shock even the first time they set eyes on each other, so this was not something new to her now.She continued to munch on her food, she was enjoying her breakfast so much, she did not really pay so much attention to the weird lady in front of her, after breakfast, she will look for her husband so that they can shop before packing their things for their early flight tomorrow.
