The three friends stared at each other in confusion for almost an entire minute, with no one saying even a single word.
Abel suddenly looked at his aunt with a preposterous look on his face. He felt like laughing.
His mother? ... a nun?
There was no chance ... his mother had been a nurse; everyone here knew that.
"I know it's confusing, Abel ... but like I said, Abi ... your mother had her reasons for keeping things secret."
'Confusing?' , Abel wondered, feeling those words from his aunt leave a meaningless trace in his heart.
No ... confusing was putting it mildly. This was impossible.
A short while ago, he didn't even have a single relative, and then all of a sudden, he had an aunt who was his mother's identical twin, whom he had never heard of his whole life.
One would think that alone was enough shock to last weeks, if not months.
And then, barely having even had time to internalize that, another bombshell!
