Segment #18
Jiya texted the Panther: “Thank you <3”
Sai was dead. Just as his beloved wife Shweta. Both deserved to die.
Revenge, Jiya thinks, is a beautiful tool but a tool nonetheless: it must be used with the right people!
But why didn't she feel satisfied? Why wasn't that weight that oppressed her heart lightening? What was missing?
Old memories crowded her mind.
A young Jiya smiled ecstatically at the idea of their imminent marriage.
He was perfect, he was her whole world, he was hers…
"I am sorry but I am breaking up with you, Jiya..."
Sai’s words died away like a distant echo. Her phone rang twice before she picked it up!
"Is your little vacation now ? I need you in Brazil for your next contract" said an icy voice.
"One trip to post office and I am done with my…vacation" replied Jiya!
"Your plane leaves in 2 hours! Check your email for details" And the call disconnected! Jiya was ready to leave the chapter named Sai behind her!

The day was dull, big black clouds swollen with rain chased each other on the horizon. A gust of icy wind sent leaves left and right, destroying a mound patiently collected by a caretaker of the cemetery
A funeral is never nice. Just one can be excruciating, a waking nightmare. Two funerals now filled the venue that day. Families and friends were united to mourn their loved ones. Sai and Swetha were dead.

Veronica sipped the hot coffee, while staring at the flames meandering in the fireplace. It was raining cats and dogs outside.
She hadn't seen Sam for a few days and she already missed him like crazy but that detachment was necessary, she had to reflect ... think.
She loved him immensely and everything had been great between them until three weeks ago.
Until the day after Sai and Shwetha’s funerals!
Until the courier delivered an envelope to her and she opened it.
Samrat and Abhay DNAs report! 99.9 % match…twin brothers!
She sighed heartbroken, how would Sam have reacted knowing this secret? She put a hand to her head pounding…she was afraid to lose him…she didn't want to lose him…she wanted to be with him.
Forever!
She had to tell him, she couldn't hide anymore, but how? Like all brothers, albeit twins, they were different in character and appearance. As a rule, twins like them have similar traits, while these two couldn't be more different. They were day and night! Light and dark!
