Everyone's dream is to be better and greater than their parents, but fewer people really do get there," Athira read out. She couldn't figure out what the quote meant; Athira has been an achiever all her life, every one of her steps always yielding success. Although this took her mind off for a few minutes, she became bothered again; all she could think about was the strange letter that she picked up at the garage. She had asked around for the owner, but to no avail, for it only had five inscriptions: "Your Case Is Different" and a name at the far edge of the envelope "Akanni."
*Athira got home*
Athira: Mom!
*Mrs. Duke entered*
Mrs. Duke: bàà wò nì (how are you)
Athira: I am fine, Mom, hope Dad is back?
Mrs. Duke ignored the question; she always avoids questions concerning Dr. Duke. Their marriage has been up in the hills, but they couldn't let go because of Athira. She would be torn apart, and they love her too much to risk it.
Athira: Mom, I have a question.
Mrs. Duke: Am listening.
Athira: If you ever pick up something simple and small, but your mind keeps telling you that it might be very important to someone, what would you do?
Mrs. Duke: uhhhhmm! I'll find every means to return it to the rightful owner.
Athira: that's right, Mom *sigh*.
Mrs. Duke: why do you ask?
Athira: the thought of something similar just came to my mind.
Mrs. Duke: Okay, at least change your outfit miss questionnaire; Dinner is in the kitchen. I cooked your favorite.
Athira: Thanks, Mom.
*She hugged her Mom and left for her room*
Athira thought about what her mom said, and she decided to visit the garage again the next day.
***********************************************************
Meanwhile, Akanni hasn't rested for the whole day. He kept on searching for where he could have misplaced the letter. After searching the whole luggage again, he decided to take a visit to the garage the next day.
Will they meet?
Will the letter be recovered?
