chapter 11

What happened Jenny asked after waking up.

well my bodyguard passed out on duty and didn't keep her promise and now am the one protecting her, the crown prince said as he helped Jenny sit up right, How do you feel?

My head feels so heavy did I pass out in public?

Yes and we rushed you back home what happened its like you saw something strange.

I can't really remember what it is that i saw but am sorry for making you worry, she said,

Its fine as long as you Are fine,

where's my sister? she asked after scanning the room for her sister.

She stepped out for sometime, she was more worried than i was,

Jenny! Jai rushed in after hearing her sister's voice, I thought i lost you how was I going to explain to father if I brought back a dead body, Jai cried well hugging her sister tightly.

He would have realized how irresponsible you are and he would stop comparing me to you, Jenny said jokingly but am fine now look. reassuring her sister with a bright smile.

what happened out there? Jai asked wanting to be sure.

Jenny passed out after saying mother, it was like she saw her mother today. the crown prince said, who we forgot was still around. But thanks to the generals nothing else happened he continued.

I might have been mistaken, mother died a long time ago I might have just missed her, remembering what she exactly saw.

Are you sure? he asked

Yes am sure I would like to rest some more, Jenny requested and Jai can you stay with me till I go back to sleep.

Yes they all responded and He left the two girls alone. After making sure everyone was gone Jai returned her attention back to her sister, I want all the details, Jai demanded.

It was mother, she finally spoke, I know its weird but there is no way i would have mistaken her face for another that was definitely mother, you might think am crazy but you know i never lie, Jenny pleaded her sister to believe her.

I believe you, Jai said not because you said you never lie because you do but i believe the lady you saw was mother.

How?

Grandfather came later after you had left, Jai said waiting for her sister to take in what she just said.

Grandfather? wait what are you talking about? she chuckled you sound crazy right now we don't even know what grandfather looks like. Jenny joked thinking her sister is crazy.

Says the girl who saw our dead mother walking. Jai teased

Fair point, go on Jenny said.

The weird man from the palace visited me, the one with the mp3 player, yes that was grandfather, Mother's father and apparently he knows about the both of us.

After sometime of silence that seemed to last forever, Jenny finally spoke out.

Mother was a time traveler, ?

Yes and No, it took me forever to process. But Father met Mother during his voyage here, in this same time line back in the days and they fell in love and traveled together. her sister explained so the possibility of Mother being the woman you saw today are high.

So mother can be alive in this time line? Jenny asked. again with a less confused face this time.

Yes and that also explains why he felt so familiar last time.,

I had the same feeling, when I saw the woman, should we look for her, at least once please. Jenny begged.

And say what? Hello mother we are your children from the future,

Is that sarcasm? Jenny let out a short laugh before she continued, I really want to see her.

So do I but we can't mess up the time line and risk not ever existing, mother will find us at the right time.

And if she doesn't?

Then I promise you, we will meet her before we go back. now stop overthinking and get some rest.

The two girls both slept, and only woke up the later in the evening.
