Turqoise by Hestrin Zantya (sight word books .TXT) 📖

beating faster and suddenly she feels something's running in her head.

She opens her eyes and sees that woman that she met in her dream is there with her, she wears her black gown and says "Good to see you again Sera". Sera doesn't remember anything and she tries to get up from a white bed that has many white roses on it. "Why am I here?" she asked her, "Cause you're sleeping again Sera" she answered her question and giggled. "But why you always here, in my dream, I dont know you Turqoise! Can you call my mom again now?" she said. "I have the same dreams Sera, I meet you in my dream too" she said quietly. "What do you say? Please call my mom now!" Sera could not wait anymore she got up and walked on. "Mother!! please come!" she cried, "Sera you'll not meet her this time, I am here to explain who i am" she said. Sera sees her face once again and sits on a white chair behind her. "That ring is something that your mom gave to me, you have to find it and keep it" she said. "I could not meet you in real life, and I don't know if we would ever meet actually" she cired a tear. Sera gets up and gives her a big hug, "Please don't cry, It's not your fault, I just miss my mother so much" Sera said. "So do I " she said, "I met your mother last year and she gave me that ring to you, I went to Africa with my husband and my son for a vacation to capetown and i met her there". Sera listens to all her words patiently, she feels so happy somehow. "My husband is a doctor and he married me when he was working in Mexico, we met there, and then we have a son but he doesn't like us, he fights with my husband all the time. So in that vacation I met a beautiful native lady named Abena. She's a pretty lady but she doesn't have a husband, she told me that she had a girl but she lost her. She loves you and I know you because finally My husband told me about you and your Mom. I married to your father Sera, he left your mom because he had to, your mom doesn't want to leave her homeland, and thats why she gave me that ring, I can't wake up anymore Sera, I don't think so" she cried. Sera tries to understand her story but she is surprised because she married to his father. "My father?? is he still alive?" Sera asked her. "Yes Sera he lives near you. He will meet you eventually" she explained.

"Come in Mills! said a man, "Hey Alan it's been a while!" said Dr. Mills. "What brings you here Mills? Do you have an interesting story for me?" Alan said. "Yes Alan, I think I find your daughter". Alan gets shock and he can't believe the things that he just heard from his friend. "What do you mean Mills?? Sera? where is she?" he asked Dr. Mills. "I thought of you since the first time I met her actualy, but I wasn't sure that time. Until she told me about her dreams" Dr. Mills explained. "She met your wife in her dreams Alan. That's for sure and when I investigated her identity I find out that she is really your daughter" Dr. Mills added. "Oh God!! I miss her. I thought her my parents brought her to England, because you know that I married to Torquise 5 years after I brought her here, and I know that she will hate me that's the reason why I can't meet her again. But Turqoise met Abena couple of years ago when we went to Capetown for a vacation, and that's the time before she got that accident" Alan said sadly. "But Alan, look out now! you dumped your daughter and your parents are getting old!" Dr. Mills said. "I know my father's died a year ago and I came there to his funeral. I came there at night I prayed for him, I just couldn't forgive myself to meet my daughter and my mom, I know it's all my fault Mills!" Alan cired a tear. "Well Alan your daughter told me about a ring that Turqoise brought in her dream" Dr. Mills said.

Sera wakes up from her dreams and sits on her bed for hours. "Are you okay Sera?" Chad said. "Yes I am okay. Did you bring me here Chad?" she asked him. "Yes I don't know that you have this kind of thing, I mean sleep disorder well your grandma told me, but God! you slept for 15 hours Sera!" he explained frantically. "Dont be afraid of me Chad, I am okay, are you?" Sera asked him. "Yes well I am now" Chad said and smiled. Sera gets up from her bed and grab her cell phone "Dr. Mills we really need to talk again" she said, "Oh hey how are you Sera?" Dr. Mills asked her, "I just got another weird dream and I need to tell you about it" she said. "Okay Sera just come to my office tomorrow morning, I would give you a little surprise, bye!" he hung up the phone.

"So who is Dr. Mills?" Chad asked her. "He is my shrink, why do you want to know?" Sera asked him back. "Because my step father is a doctor too, Sera!" he said with a little bit anger in his voice. Sera asks "Do you like him?", "No, he suffers my mom, I love my father but he's died when I was 15 yo and Mom married to my step father" he explained. "And now where your Mother is?" she asked him, "She is in coma at the hospital near here" he answered. Sera feels sorry for Chad, "I am sorry Chad, hey don't give me that face, come here we can be friends" she gave him a hug. "Chad if you want please come with me tomorrow morning to meet my shrink" she said. "Are you sure you don't mind? because I am curious about your sleep disorder" she smiled. "Well it's more than sleep disorder Chad, It's all about my dreams, It's a long story anyways, you'll know it tomorrow, ok?" she said. "Fine by me!" he said.

The Ring

"Good morning Dr. Mills" Sera came in. "Hey Sera! who is he?" Dr. Mills asked her about Chad. "My name is Chad, I am her friend" he explained. "Sera there is something that I want to tell you about. It's all about the ring and the name that you mentioned from your dream" Dr. Mills said. "Okay what about them? are they serious?" she asked him. "Well Sera, I have a good friend of mine who'd love to tell you more about it" Dr. Mills said.

"Good morning everyone!" Alan said, "Oh God! why are you here Alan?" Chad yelled. Alan is surprised by his question, he never knows that Chad will be in that room. "Alan its Sera and her friend Chad" Dr. Mills said. "No way. I know who he is" Chad said with anger in his voice. Sera can't say anything, she gets a shock because she meets with her father again. "Sera my love!" Alan said. "Don't touch me!" Sera yelled at him. "Dr. Mills why does he come here?" she asked. "Sera you really need to hear from him, trust me, now calm yourself down. And you Chad please sit down and calm yourself down" said Dr. Mills.

Alan looks so pale he is stuttering, he tries so hard not to cry but he can't help himself. "Im sorry Sera!" he started his explaination. "Abena is your mom, Dr. Mills told me about everything, about your dreams. You met your mom in your dream and that woman named Turqoise, she is my wife now" Alan said sadly. "What the hell is going on here people? what the fuck you say Alan, stop saying anything about my mother! she is in coma now you suffer her!" Chad yelled. "Chad sit down, please" Sera asked him. "What the hell are you talking about Alan? you left me on my own, and now you say this non sense?" she cried. "Sera listen to your father" Dr. Mills said. "I left her because she doesn't want to move with us Sera! and that time we were living in danger situation, you got Malaria and that's why I wanted to move you and her here but she said no, what could I do? Forcing her? I did not want to hurt her or force her to things that she doesn't like. So I brought you here, and I went to USA for my carreer and I met a woman there, I am so sorry that I never contact you again since then but that is because I am ashamed. I don't deserve you and my parents love. I am a jerk and an ambitous doctor. I met Turqoise, she's a sweet person but she got hurts by her ex husband" Alan said. "Stop saying about my father! You know nothing about him Alan!" Chad said. "I know Chad because your mother told me about her life too. You hate him as well, because your father left you when you're 10 years old. You never forgive him thats what she said to me, but Chad I never want to be a bad guy for your mother. And your mother met my ex wife Abena and she loves her. She got that accident because she feels sorry that my ex wife should have lost Sera. Don't you understand that Chad? and she worries about you, because you never back home and she misses you! she was drunk that night when I was not at home, she called me and said that she doesn't want to lose you just like Abena lost Sera" Alan explained.

"Oh no!! Mom will die now" Chad said. "No she won't die, but she will not be able to walk again" Alan explained. "Dad!" Sera said. She gets up from the chair and gives a big hug to her father, "I miss you so much!" she said and cried on his shoulder. "Sera my baby! I miss you too and I am truly sorry for everything that I have done to you" Alan cried. "Hey Alan. I need to go to see my mom now" Chad left the room.

"Hi, Mother!" Sera said to a pretty woman who sits in front of her. That woman looks so pretty even when she is still having a shock. "Oh God! Who are you?" she asked her, "My name is Sera and I miss you so much" suddenly that woman jumps from her seat and says "Oh my daughter! where have you been?" she said. "I am coming home to you Mom!" Sera said. Abena gets a little Turqoise ring out of her wallet and says " Are you looking for this thing?" she asked her. "Yes. and Miss Turqoise tole me about it in my dreams" she explained. "Sera my love. This is a
