Imma's mum who is known as Angel by name. Took the whole family shopping, the two men also came along but as you know? Not be choice, but anyways the got to one of the most fanciest super market in Country M where the reside.
The two ladies were so excited that there couldn't stop talking, from clothes to shoes to jewelries, comestics and even snacks, they tried almost everything. The work of the men was to listen, hold stuff and make the payments. Lastly their celebration ended with a huge feast that even walking became a thing of struggle,so they then decided to go for some evening stroll to digest the food and view some sceneries.
Mr Collins and his son Ken were walking behind the two ladies watching them talk about all kinds of subject especially their idols, one of them being Mrs Angel not paying mind that she has a husband, who was right behind her.
All of the sudden Imma paused in her steps
.... " Baby..are you alright?..…" mrs Collins hurriedly helded her daughters hand, with worry etched on her face. He biggest fear was coming through. Thou there got a daughter after their lost hope, it was like the universe was playing a trick on them, cause their daughter Imma has had a weak heart since birth, there have consulted a lot of doctors but they results were always negative or too risky, even with their money connecting a world re known heart specialist is not easy, and besides the operation on her is too risky.
"Mum.... I.. I... Can't breathe" by the time Imma could finish her words her legs gave out and she was caught by her brother who hurriedly carried his baby sister in bridal style running to were the packed their car.
"Bro... Brother" Tears were already on Imma's face, she felt bad for being such a burden and worry to her family, that is why she always tries her best to be obedient and not cause trouble for them.
"Don't worry baby.... You'll be alright" Ken though he was in his twenties his eyes couldn't help but be stung with tears on seeing his dear baby sister in pains, but he knew this was not the time. Right now time is the biggest factor so he held himself and rushed her to the hospital driving at full speed.
Imma was wheeled inside on a streacher, no doubt the hospital was notified before they arrived. Mr and Mrs Collins didnt take much time to arrive, tears were already falling from Mrs Collins but she was being held by Mr Collins who kept reassuring her that everything would be alright, so maybe he was convincing himself.
Two hours later, everything has calmed down, and even Imma has regained consciousness. The family gathered inside the room to take care of their 'baby's and trying to persuade her to stay in the hospital in case. But there was no way Imma would accept that, she hated the smell of drugs and the hospital, maybe because he frequently takes them and visit the hospital on a regular. And who can say no to their cute baby Imma.
On getting home, porriage was made by their cook, Miss Helen, though she looks to be in her thirties she is actually in her late twenties, she has been taking care of Imma for five years now and loves the girls so much as if it was her own daughter, aunty Helen has a daughter who is also the same age as Imma but has only been since twice by the latter. Aunty Helen only cooks here occasionally as she has other businesses to attend to, so she doesn't look as good as she is supposed to.
Aunty Helen watched Imma finish the portrait and then watch her sleep before leaving her room.
" I'm so sorry for calling you out this late" Mrs Collins felt guilt, today wasn't one of the days she was suppose to come and besides she came so late at night impromptu.
"Its OK, I take Imma ask my own daughter its what I should do" Aunty Helen was very sincere which touched Mrs Collins so much, but she didnt give the woman any bonus or a raise because the woman would reject it and feel uncomfortable that was how honest aunty Helen was.
After everything, the whole house went quiet as every one went to sleep as it was already late.
THE NEXT DAY
Bright and early, Mr Collins and family are gathered in the dinning room for breakfast, they had light food made by Mrs Collins and some helpers. While there were eating and throwing jokes at each other and also expressing their concern for Imma.
*BOOM*
A girl rushed in, she had mesmerizing black eyes and coupled with her black hair and fair skin, she can be described as pretty, she was looking either fifteen or sixteen, her face was stained with tears and snort.
The whole family frowned but didn't say a word since she looked familiar, she was actually Miss Helen's daughter, they had since her here once or maybe twice. Their family butler was chasing after her, it could be seen that she ran in here without permission.
She then stood in front of the entire family without even a simplest good morning,she screamed "I AM YOUR DAUGHTER NOT HER"
"What? " .................
....................
The words that was about to roll out of their lips got stuck in their throat. The whole family was shunned, especially Imma who was pointed at.
" what the hell are you saying lady" Men frowned, he didn't have any good impression on this young girl who lacked basic manners and just spewed nonsense from her mouth, it was known through out by everyone who cared that his sister Imma has a heart issue. So was this lady intentionally sent here to cause some promises?
"Yeah.... You heard me right! My name is Shelly and I'm your real sister and not that imposter, her real mother is Helen and not you mum... Look at my face and look at her face, I share similarities with you mum and not her...."
