TWINED 2

Rebecca or Becky as she was fondly called was a sweet, charming, exuberant girl. The third child in a family of six, she didn't enjoy the pleasure of having a brother nor a concrete father figure. Her father was an engineer who worked outside the country and rarely returned. In all her sixteen years, she had only seen her father twelve times. The longest he had stayed with them was two weeks and that was because he was sick and had to return home to get well. The man and woman of the house was her mother, a stern woman and quite a disciplinarian.

Her family was a decent one living in the suburbs. She had never been away from them. Her mother, a school teacher would always drum morals into her daughters' ears as they wake up and before they go to bed. "I don't want to be the mother of a disgraceful daughter" she would always say.

With the constant warning from their mother, the girls kept off boys like a plague. Becky would soon gain admission to the university, to face an entirely different world from the one she is used to.
