Mrs. Davis couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw her daughter, whom she had lost 20 years ago, at her son’s wedding. Little did she know it would reveal another secret she’d hidden for long.
“So, what did you two decide? And when can we have a proper meeting with Sasha?” Mrs. Davis asked her son Brian. He and Sasha planned to marry in November, but Mrs. Davis hadn’t met her yet. They had talked a few times online and once on a video call, but the call was brief.
“We’ve decided on holding the wedding next week, mom. Since Sasha’s grandmother’s health is deteriorating and she has stated that she wants to see her granddaughter marry soon, everything is preponed. Sasha’s parents will call you this week. Sorry for troubling you guys.”

They had planned to meet Sasha and Brian at the airport, but Sasha had to stay back due to issues at the wedding hall, so Brian had to pick up his parents alone. However, as soon as Mrs. Davis reached the venue, she went to see Sasha.
She was sitting in her room, dressed in her wedding gown, with three other girls assisting her. Sasha noticed Mrs. Davis entering her room through the mirror and dashed over to hug her. “Oh, Mrs. Davis! Finally, we got a chance to meet each other! How are you?”
Mrs. Davis had an odd feeling as Sasha hugged her. It didn’t feel like she was meeting her for the first time. She kept looking at her for a while until Sasha interrupted, “Mrs. Davis, are you okay?”
“Oh yes, honey. I’m good. By the way, I must say my son has chosen the most beautiful girl for himself, hasn’t he?” Mrs. Davis looked at the other girls in the room. They gave her a warm smile and...
