The Tables have Turned
“I have never forgotten him. I miss him”
After her father's death, Eliah has been yearning for his warmth and hope to feel it once more. He calls on him almost every chance she gets. Strange how she finds the cold night and stars fascinating, they always manage to calm her down. She thought it reminded her of her father's gaze and believed it for longest time.
But is it the truth though?
Her mother, her sister and her bestfriend since childhood seem to have something they failed to tell Eliah. They were afraid and still are. They plan to keep things as they are until one night.
On the night of the arrival of these one family, things seems to start unraveling. Especially with the Japanese boy.
Kiyan Kishimoto, has been living in Japan ever since he was born. He's known for his goal oriented mindset and he has always wanted to visit this one particular place before he turns 19. His older sister, who married an American citizen, thought that it was an opportunity for her daughter to know her father's culture. And so they went.
Kiyan seems harmless but Eliah's family thinks otherwise. Well not completely only moreso to Eliah's bestfriend, Lester. He was afraid that Kiyan might trigger some memory, some unwanted memory from Eliah's past. Kiyan shared some resemblance with her father and Eliah has not reached acceptance yet.
Will the arrival of the Japanese boy causes havoc or would it “heal” Eliah in the process? Will she ever know her family's secret? Will Lester ever let her? Will she ever reach acceptance?
Will she ever keep her promises to her father?
The tables are turning for Eliah or maybe, the tables have turned already.
