Today, Carla watched her again and again she could not recognized this frightening little girl she took and transformed into a woman. Carla never knew when her past would catch up with her but she needed to leave her adopted sister ready in case the circumstance arrived one way or the other.

- Have we spent time together these last days, sis?

- This is the first time you call me sis. Something's wrong?

- No, nothing. Did we go to an event together?

- No, when you went in your time, I am always busy with the finishing of another event.

- Remember what I just told you, one day you are going to run this family business. Then you are going to start today. I want you to be my equal.

- Sis, I can't. I am not you or me yet and I have not figure out anything.

- We will on the way. - We are here ma'am. Lucius announced to the ladies.

Carla and Minia got down from the car, Carla left her folders behind in guise not to be annoyed during her examination. Minia left the car with her folders the same way she took them over her desk this morning. Carla grabbed her hands and threw the folders back in the car and held her to walk with her sister in the decorating room. Everyone had something to do, the one with the little flowers for the men, the one with the dishes after the ceremony and the movie, the one with the cards, the one with the menus, and the one with the invitees list. Carla walked around with her sister trying to figure what was missing but everything was going perfectly. While standing, Carla caught two glasses and gave one to Minia, they toasted and they drank together for the first time since they met each other. Minia contemplated her sister in her craft and her way to do her job as well as she knew how. Minia doubted to see herself like this one day and she trembled with the glass at her hand and Carla heard a noise of glass breaking in the floor. - Hey, this is a place for a ceremony, not for your personal breaking point.

- What? I am sorry I dropped it. I feel a little nervous that is all.

- Well, then you are not supposed to be here.

Minia did not continue the conversation and left the room Carla thought she saw tears before Minia disappeared behind the door into the garden. Carla kept on going with her last minute preparation and concluded at the time she felt right. The noise of someone sniffing attracted her attention more and more in the garden where Minia wasted her tears for a simple misunderstanding. Carla surrounded her with her arms and she bent into her shoulder. Her tears were enough for Carla to deduce she was in no way ready for the job. ((((((( THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE THE LAST )))))))
