Gradually, Arda’s shock left her and she placed the phone back onto the table. It was barely touching the table when her phone buzzed with a call from her younger sister.
Arda took a few more seconds to calm herself down before receiving the call.
“Hey, sis.” she said.
“You’re not my sister.”
“What?”
“You are not my sister and I think it’s about time you knew.”
“Mabel, what are you talking about?”
“Ask my dad and my mum.”
Arda did not fail to notice how she stressed the word my in her statement. Before she could say anything, her sister was off the line.
For a moment, she chose to believe that her sister was joking. Arda redialed her number and it kept ringing but there was no response. She decided to call her father who received the call in a single ring.
“My dear, you’re still up late?”
“Yeah, studying.” She responded. She didn’t want to talk about her problems.
“Okay. Take it easy.”
“I will. Where is Mabel?”
“She’s around somewhere in the house.”
“Look dad, I know that Mabel and I barely get along as siblings but she just said something nasty to me on the phone. Now, she won’t take my calls. I need you to tell her to stop. I can’t take her shenanigans anymore.”
“What did she say?”
“That I’m not her sister. She said I should ask you and mum. She’s just talking nonsense.”
There was silence at the end of the line but she knew that her father was still there. So why wasn’t he responding? He cleared his throat and she heard Mabel’s voice in the background. “Tell her the truth dad, tell her. Mum, please tell her.”
