Chapter 5 - THE SECRET.

"Hoppy ! I murmured.

"Who is Hoppy?... the bartender asked

"Uhmm... Hoppy!...uhmm, Hoppy is my

sister who uhmm... Hoppy is just my

sister's friend"...I stammered.

"I am sorry about your loss and your

daughter,I shouldn't have asked

about her"...I consoled him.

" It's alright girl... life can sometimes

cheat on us".

I wish this plan wasn't made,I wish it will be reversed for the sake of the bartender.

"Hey dude! get me the long Island

bar tea"... said one of the drinkers.

"okkk...where is it? where is it? this

must be inside the Inn"... the

bartender thought.

But I can't let him get inside the Inn or we will be dead.

"Wait! your wife !...I stammered.

"I will be back in a jiffy...ok"...

he assured.

" no!no!no!...I am in a hurry to go now,

I know who your wife is!

He stopped and stared at me in surprise.

"I have once seen her,she had come

to my mom's boutique to purchase

some flowers,she would say, it's for

her lovely husband...."

At the sight of Hoppy sneaking out,I was relieved.

"... and she needed the best with a

good smelly savour and now she

is dead,no more good smelly savour

...I am so sorry about this,I hope your

daughter will be alright and you will

be happy again"...I said pitifully.

"Thank you Chumpstar! she will be

alright"...he smiled and assured me.

I drank the drink and walked out of the bar angrily, back to the shack .

********************************

"We did it Anita! you are such a

real super nerd"... Hoppy said

happily.

"No Hoppy! you just fucked up,

you adamant jerk"...I shouted.

"Come on Anita! don't tell me you

aren't happy, what have gotten over

you?

"What have gotten over me..mmh...

you wanna know, right!

the bartender! the bartender! he had

a family,his daughter is dying out

there and he is putting out every bit

of his sweat to save her and you are

happy with that"...

"Stop it all! I have my only sister to

fend for and beside,I have been doing

this for years,I would have rot in this

world of hell "... Hoppy answered.

"You rob for you ! do you care about

those people you rob... you have

robbed some, of their lives, their only

survival and it still meant nothing to

you, you only care about your own

benefits, mindless of how what you

do, affect them...

.. you are so selfish ... Hoppy!

I said, walking out of her sight.

How could Hoppy have such a heart, she is trying to survive but causing pain to others, she can still do other things to survive instead of tying herself up to other's curses.

Soon, Hoppy comes out to seat with me on the staircase of the shack, breathing out

heavily.

... she said...

"You feel the cool breeze? old cargo

house I've got,my only buddy

accepting me back from all my

journey, I've got to treat her well.

... when momma was alive, she

would say "nobody messes with

my precious and go free"

Hoppy chuckled and continued.

" My dad never cared for us,he beats

up mom,calls her names, sleep

after other girls in the town, mom's

tears would always flow like the

river...I was only 13 when dad

signed a divorcing letter.

... lonely mom had to bear it all on

her since she has been pregnant

of my little sister, though not easier

for us till Nika was given birth to"...

"What did you just say?...I

immediately asked.

"I said...it was not easier...

" no..no..no! I mean, you should

mention that name again"...

"Nika!... she said"

"Nika!...do you know Nika?...I asked

overwhemly.

"Yeah! I do, Nika is my baby sister"...

she answered .

"I have been staying with Nika at the

orphanage,I thought Nika had no

family since she don't talk about it,

Nika made a pinky promise with

me before I left....I said.

" I think, that's the only secret Nika has

kept from you.At four,I sent Nika to the

orphanage,I couldn't sit to see lonely

Nika dying in silence after the death

of mom and I promised she will live

with me after I buy us a house.

I love Nika so much that I didn't have

to break the promise I made to mom.

At her last breath,mom said..."promise

me you will look after Nika" and I did.

What of you? you've got any brother or

sister?... Hoppy asked.

I bowed my head in self pity and narrated.

" From a trip back to home,we engaged

in an automobile accident,I was the

only surviving being,it was too late to

save my parents after the shortage of

blood... eventually,I found out I was

growing in an orphanage after the

narration by our therapist and view of

my parents incidental album".

"Anita!...I am sooo sorry about

everything and the pain it has caused

you,I understand,we wouldn't

have been here if our parents were

alive... but now we are sisters,we can

do everything together".

Hoppy said turning towards me.

"Wipe those tears,there is still better

hope for us, when we get rich

tomorrow,we will pack out from this

old cargo,we will play together and

even travel the whole world"...

Hoppy assured me.

"Thanks Hoppy! you are such a sweet

nerd"...I said, giving her a hug.

"Anita! one more thing,if I...I...I..."

Hoppy stammered weakly.

"If you do what? ...I asked.

She then smiled and said.

"If I fly away tomorrow,I need you to

look after Nika"

"Hahahaha ! come here nerd, you aren't

flying to anywhere,we live and die

together, even after our death,we will

still stay together, nothing can separate

us and after this,we bring back Nika

home"...I said, smiling at

her.

She stared and laughed at me as we walk back into the shack for our night rest.
