It was an early Saturday like always Kara was exercising, Mara sat on her bed, her headphones on her head, her eyes closed as the music reached into her soul, Laura was downstairs in their living room, and books surrounded the table as she furrowed her eyebrows in anger having problems with her homework, Kara kept running and running in circles around their home, kara was tired but she kept running as she tried to shake off the memories of her sister, Inara, but the memories kept coming, take it anymore she knelt on the ground and started crying as she held her heart trying to ease the pain, Laura closed her book frustrated, she closed her eyes and remembered something, it was her sister, Inara, she was still young at the time, Inara was sitting on a bench with Laura, a book in between them, Inara patiently explained the problems to Laura until she understood, laura hugged her sister, " Thank you sister!!" " You're welcome" Inara replied, Lara had already started sobbing, snot already started running down her nose but she didn't care, she cried as she held on to the memory of her dear sister. Mara sat on her bed, her eyes still closed but this time tears ran down her face, her heart was filled with so much pain as she listened to her and Inara's favorite song, mara remembered when her sister hugged her in the middle of the night and sang this song when she had a nightmare. Kara, Mara, Laura, and Inara were quadruplets, their parents were poor when they were born, they couldn't take care of themselves not to talk of four children so they abandoned them at the orphanage, and they were maltreated in the orphanage, they would get little food, torn clothes, and dirty glances, the orphanages were full, the government refused to pay them and things were hard, they could not afford to take care of one more child not to talk of four, they disliked the kids and wondered why anyone should suffer with four kids when they only did the deed once, yet they had to take them in but they treated them like trash, Inara felt a sense of responsibility so she took care of her sisters, whenever they weren't full she would give them her food, help them sew their clothes, teach them their homework, train them to defend themselves, sing to them, play with them and more, she was their mother and father, she was always stressed but never showed it, until one day Inara fainted in the public school they attend, she was diagnosed with anemia, ulcer and a rare heart disease however the disease had no cure, she was given drugs for ulcer and anemia but her heart problem could not be treated, she didn't tell her sisters in fear that they would be worried. One day their parents came for them, they had already become billionaires and made it big in the city and came back for their children, they were happy none of them had been adopted and they could finally be a happy family but Inara had fainted at home two months after the adoption, the professional doctor that checked her told her it could be treated, the doctor continued saying " She could travel abroad to do the surgery and then recuperate for at least a year then she can come back", that was what they did, she left her family and went to the world alone, it had already been 4 years but she hadn't come back, no one could reach her anymore, her sisters thought she had moved on and left them until one day the head maid came in flustered, she shouted excitedly, "Madams, there's someone here to see you all!!", they opened the door and saw  their sister, the one they hadn't seen in five years, standing in front of them, she opened her arms and said " I'll explain later, hug me first", they didn't hug her at first she thought they were angry but instead they all started crying, " We missed you!!!", they all  chorused. Inara just giggled.
