she could. But instead of Alex, there stood Jessica her best friend, who had a red nose and wet eyes, she had a handkerchief in her hand and looked at Serena with an alarmed expression.
โJessica, what are you doing here? And are you crying?โ Serena asked coming in front of her.
โAuntie, IโฆI'm...โ Jessica spoke in broken words.
She saw an ambulance standing in her front porch and looked at Jessica.
โIs everything OK, Dear? Why was Alex running away from here? And where is she now?โ Serena asked making sense of all she understood; Jessica looked at her with wide eyes ad sorry expression.
โAuntie, Alex, AlexโฆI'm sorry auntieโ she spoke again in a husky voice.
โWhy are you sorry? And where is Alex, she was here, where is she now?โ she asked totally annoyed.
โAuntie, Alex can't be hereโ Jessica spoke slowly.
โBut she was here with me, we spent the whole day together, and then she went-โ her words trailed off because winds that blew right in her face.
โBut auntie she just can't be hereโ Jessica spoke calmly,
โBut she was here, how can you say she can't?โ Serena shouted.
โBecause, auntie, becauseโฆโ Jessica said slowly
"You don't believe me, do you? Come with me then!" Serena said, grabbed her hand roughly and took her inside her house and to the living room, where the 70s tape recorder sat on the side table. She grabbed it and played, but the recordings were missing, finally she tapped it three times, and the recorder started up, but what it said, and who said in it, left both of them in shock and disbelief.
"Hey, mom, it's me, Alex, you might be wondering...where are our recordings? I deleted them, and I would recommend that you delete this one too, cos mom...nobody should know I was here, because no one will believe you, you know why---because I am dead I died in a land slide this morning---surprise mom, not the best surprise for your birthday but this is all I can give now. I think it was my own fault, my own Karma which...and I deserve this punishment, I'm sorry Ma, for all the lost years, and pains caused...but you know what my real gift to you was...I asked God to send me back to earth for one day, just to meet you, just to give you your Birthday Present, happy birthday ma, happy birthday, now I have to go, I have to rest in peace with dad, bye Ma...I love you so much, forever..." her words trailed off.
