A FATEFUL CHANCE

Deandra's POV

I gently knocked on the door where my other twin sister Dee is resting right now. When she's not answering, I twisted the doorknob and entered while holding a small basin half-filled with warm water and a towel inside it.

I saw her lying on the bed, facing the ceiling while opening her eyes.

"Hello, dear Deandra." Her cute voice greeted me as soon as she noticed my presence.

"Hello my beautiful Dee. How are you?"

"My head is aching and I don't feel well."

"Don't worry my dear sister. I am here now." I sat beside her bed and placed the basin on the chair next to me. I pulled the towel from the basin half-filled with water. I wrung it by removing the excess water. I placed my palm on her forehead.

I am surprised that she's too hot. I felt my knees shaking but I stayed calm as much as possible. What if she'll know I am more worried than her? She'll be sadder for sure.

"You know what, dear Deandra...when I grow up, I want to be like you."

I chuckled because my sister said that out of the blue.
