I looked at her and grabbed her shoulders,
“Do you want to leave with me?”
Then she looked straight in my eyes,
“No”, she was expressionless.
My heart shattered,
I fell on my knees in front of her,
“Why?” I said on the verge of tears,
She gently placed her hand on top of my head,
“This is my home now” she answered silently.
I couldn’t believe it,
All that time,
All that work,
All those sleepless nights,
Wasted.
“What did you do to her?” I finally spoke,
I didn’t look up at him,
“Nothing at all, I have treated her with kindness” he said with a smile,
He was lying.
Whatever he did,
It changed her.
My sister was gone
