Dear Jean,
My greetings like every other day.
Read slowly. Please read slowly. It's good news turned inside out.
After three years of futile attempts to get an admission into the most popular university here, I finally got it.
Happy? I know because of what I stated earlier, you won't be. But how does this become a sad one?
My parents have opened up to me. They have revealed to me that this is the same school where I lost my two siblings. Till today, none of them knows where my siblings are; whether they are still alive or dead. This is how certain students get missing every year and no one has done anything about it.
Do you think my parents will ever allow their only child left into this institution? If my parents had known that this is the institution I had been chasing, they would have stopped me but I didn't tell them because I wanted to make it a surprise; I wanted to make them proud.
As much as I want to back off is as much as I want to venture this. Not only will getting an admission into this university earn me social recognition, I will be able to question my siblings' whereabouts.
What am I to do? Should I just give it a go or sit back like everyone and forget about my siblings? If yesterday's effort has wrought the exposure of that horrible secret, who knows what tomorrow will bring?
With love,
Asaph.
