《 Scene 1》
Julie was going on a business trip to Canada. Afterall it was a normal journey for her like other days. She boarded the flight and took her seat. Everything was absolutely fine, the flight took off at the right time and landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport. After taking her baggage, she departed from airport premises, waiting for the taxi to come. Suddenly her eyes struck at a girl who seemed to in her early thirties, but moreover astonishing fact about girl was that, she looked exactly like Julie!
But how? Julie had no sister or any cousin sister who look exactly like her. Infact she never saw her doppelganger. Julie was both in a state of shock and terror.
[A loud sound of horn beeping continuously...]
The driver shouting 'Ms Julie, Ms Julie' , but no response from her side. The driver went to Julie and asked "Mam, I've been calling you from past 10 minutes, but no response, are you alright? You seem to look terrified. Whom you're looking at?" Julie[looked at the driver] pointed to the direction of the anonymous girl whom she saw few moments back and said "are you able to see that girl, girl who's wearing red coat, she exactly looks like me, See!". Driver surprisingly looked at Julie and said "Mam, no one's present there, just look! whom you're talking about?"
Julie again looked at that direction and the 'girl' vanished into thin air within few seconds.
Perplexed with the situation, Julie sat in the taxi. Driver started the car and asked her, "Are you feeling better, Mam?" Julie[with a slight pause] said, "Yeah, I'm fine now". Within every second, picture of that girl was coming to her mind.
Of course, this was a situation when anyone could be baffled up and the same thing happened with Julie. She reached the hotel and took access keys for her room. It was a long and tiresome with an awful experience, so she needed rest. She went to sleep after few minutes of entering the room.
It was exactly 8 am in the morning when Julie woke up. She needed to be present for a business meeting, so she quickly dressed up and left the hotel. Waiting for the driver, she was looking at entrance gate of hotel when suddenly saw the same girl with that red coat, the doppelganger of her. This time Julie went to that girl, without any hesitation.
Julie patted on the shoulder of that girl(girl turned back). Julie mumbled in a low voice and said "Hi, I'm Julie and you?" "Hi" Marie said, "My name is Marie Peterson, glad to meet you!", but Marie didn't had a slight terror or shock or feeling of unease to see a look alike girl, rather it seemed that she was eager to meet Julie. Julie didn't expected this and wasn't sure what to say next, handed over her number to Marie and said "I'm in hurry, so I need to go, but I needed to talk to you, can you meet me at the same spot today at 4 pm?". "Yeah, no problem", Marie responded.
*Julie reached office*
After completing her meeting and finishing up the report, she left for hotel where she was going to meet Marie. It was 4 sharp in the evening and no signs of Marie till now. A level of discontentment in Julie's heart was on rise, she waited for 45 minutes at the hotel gate but was unable to trace Marie, so she went to the reception and sat there with the slightest hope of meeting Marie. She waited for about 1 hour then went to her room.
Possibly this was not the time to solve her unanswered question and unnerving mysteries. For now she wished that if she might have never been here, she wouldn't had been disturbed by ridiculous thoughts and series of unusual events.
But the most peculiar thing was that despite rigorous search of Marie, Julie wasn't able to trace her anywhere. So she decided, that whatever might happen, by hook or crook I'll find her.
《 Scene 2 》
One day Julie was returning from her work when she met a lady, seemed to be her in mid-fifties. She was overwhelmed to see Julie.
Mrs Peterson: Ohh... Hi, nice to meet you child!
Julie: Hi... hi...(mumbling), Sorry, but I didn't recognized you!
Mrs. Peterson: Oh child, I also don't know you, but I just saw you and just you look exactly like my daughter.
Julie: Ohh... nice. So where's she now?
Mrs Peterson: (sadly) She died 2 years back. I miss her so much.
Julie: Oh, I'm so sorry.
Mrs Peterson: No, no you need not to be sorry, Okay come with me, I'll take you to my home. You remind me of my daughter.
Julie: Ohk sure.
*Mrs Peterson's Home*
Mrs Peterson: Come on child, sit here.
Julie: (sat on the sofa at the corner of the room and asked casually) Mam, what's your daughter's name?
Mrs Peterson: Marie
Julie: (shocked) If I'm not wrong, full name of her was Marie Peterson?
Mrs Peterson: Yeah child, she was my only daughter. She died 2 years ago in a car accident, she was admitted too late to the hospital, if she would had been given treatment earlier, then she would have been alive today.
Julie: But... but... I saw her just 5 days back outside the airport, she was wearing red coat.
Mrs Peterson: I know, I know. She had many great aspirations but she was unable to fulfill them all (started crying). I also feel her somewhere around me, that feeling relaxes me a lot.
Julie: (after a slight pause) She... indeed is a very nice girl.
Mrs Peterson: Ok child, tell me something about yourself, about your family.
Julie: I didn't know how does it feel being with our parents, I am an orphan and I was a taken care by orphanage people since by birth.
Mrs Peterson: You know, what my daughter said before she died.
Julie: No...
Mrs Peterson: She said, "You'll meet a girl in future and after meeting her you'll feel that I returned again. From that point your life will be changed. Promise me, you'll not cry and wait for that girl."
I think I have found you finally.
Julie: (started crying) I have never felt the love, the care from my mother. I think Marie was that bridge which changed our lives forever (hugged Mrs Peterson)
~After that Mrs Peterson became Julie's foster mother and Julie started living with Mrs. Peterson thereafter with fulfilling the dreams and aspirations of Marie, with love and care of a mother, who had lost a daughter~
