Part -1 When Wife Turns Out Sister
Note - This is a fiction about two stranger youths who got married but after several years they were found to be siblings , own brother and sister .
Manon and Andre, both in their mid 20s Landed at Paris’s Charles de Gaulle International airport . The weather was too bad with heavy rains and mild storms. Both were waiting for a cab . A few people who passed by them stopped near them and glanced at them . But Manon and Andre failed to understand their glance. Due to bad weather very few cabs were available. After a few minutes a cab arrived. Manon waved at the cab . After seeing the number of the cab Andre said “ I had already booked it on the phone . “
Andre started putting his luggage in the trunk of the car .
Though Manon was French she came from a far away small town situated on the Italian border . She was too nervous and sad as no taxi was in sight . Seeing her face “ Where is your destination ?”
“ Fontainebleau “ she said
“ You can come in , I am also going there . “
“ Thanks , I am so glad to share the cab . I can pay half of the fare .” said Manon
“ You needn’t . I have already paid for it online . “ said Andre Sousa from Portugal . “
“ And me Manon .”
She put her luggage in the trunk and entered the cab with her backpack . As she sat inside the driver glanced at them for a few seconds and smiled . Fontainebleau is nearly 85 Km from Paris and takes nearly 70 minutes to reach there .
Manon pulled out some tissues from her bag and wiped her face. Andre was also looking at her . Andre said “ Myself Andre Sousa .”
“ And me, Manon Aubert . “ Both shook hands with a smile
“ If I am not wrong , you are also going to Insead . “ Andre said
“ Sure . And by ‘ also ‘ you mean you too are going to Insead .”
“ Yes , Fountainebleau is known for Insead only . It’s among the top three International Business Schools in the world .Not so easy to get in there .”
“ Yep .” said Manon
After slightly over an hour their cab stopped near a gated apartment . After entering the code the gate opened and the cab stopped at the porch of the apartment . Manon said “ This is my apartment . “
“ It’s mine too. “ said Andre and asked “ Which is your block ? “
“ I am in the north block , and you ? “
“ I am in the south .”
Both got down, picked up their luggage and proceeded to the apartment office . There they collected keys to their rooms and started climbing the stairs . The apartment had only a ground and a first floor , so no lift was provided . At the landing of the staircase also both met a man who stared at them for some moments and then got downstairs saying Hi.
After reaching the first floor Manon turned towards the north wing and said “ Bye , see you again .”
As Manon entered her room she was surprised to see a 16x12 ft room nicely made ready for her . Just on the left of the entrance door was a small but tidy bathroom . Next was the only room. On the left was a cabinet-like room . When she opened it she was surprised to look inside . There were electric burners , a small dishwasher, a small fridge and a small kitchen sink . It was a hidden kitchen inside this cabinet . A small balcony was there with a cloth drying stand . Everything she needed for her ten months stay at Insead .
Orientation was scheduled on the next day . More than 1000 students from across the five continents get enrolled each year in Insead Business school for their Master and doctoral programs . This gives a chance for incoming students to explore the campus , meet the faculty members and talk to academic guides before registering for their classes . The accelerated MIM ( master in Management ) program is divided into five periods , each of eight weeks .
In the Institute also a few classmates used to stare at Manon and Andre . While lunching at the campus canteen Manon asked “ Why usually people stare at us for a few seconds at first glance. “
“ I don’t know . Do I look ridiculous ? May be due to my grown up beards . “
“ No , not at all . You are a very handsome guy . “ said Manon
“ Thanks and you are possibly the most beautiful girl at Insead . “ Andre repled
“ Thanks .” said Manon with a blush and smile
After the first period of two months , both Manon and Andre came closer . Once when discussing their families Manon said “ Actually my ancestors come from French colony Pondicherry , now in India .”
“ O my God , what a coincidence . I was also told that my ancestors were from a Portuguese colony Goa , it's also now in India .”
“ You know , when Pondicherry was liberated our family also moved to Goa . “
This brought them further closer and during the final days at Fontainebleau they decided to marry . Andre got his beard shaved and the clean shaved young man looked extremely handsome.Manon was undoubtedly extremely beautiful and was rightly called Miss Fontainebleau . Both were getting married at a church . Whoever saw them never forgot to look at them with a bit of surprise . After shaving his beard Andre also noticed that there was a lot of resemblance between the two faces . Only noticeable differences were - Manon had curly hair while Abdre had straight hair . However marriage was solemnized , The couple enjoying their honeymoon in the Italian city Venice .
Both Manon and Andre got campus placement at Insead itself .But Manon got her job in the French Riviera Nice Andre got just on an Italian border city . Both decided to keep their home in Nice itself . That was not a problem for them , Andre used to drive around 25 - 30 minutes to reach his office.
They lived happily there. Just a couple of months had passed that one day Manon called Andre on the phone and said “ Today you have to come back early in the evening .”
“ But why ? “
“ I can’t talk on the phone . You have to be in sooner .”
“ Okay “ said Andre and hung up
When he reached home in half an hour he asked “ Why did you call me back early today ? “
“ I have some good news , One guest is expected . “
“ Your guest ? “
“ No . Our guest .”
“ Who is he ? “
“ I don’t know if it's him or she .”
“ What puzzle are you talking about , Manon ? Say straightforth .” Andre said
“ You are going to be a dad and me a mom .Is it not good news .”
“ Sure , but what's the hurry? You should have waited till a couple of years. “
“ That you should have thought about in Venice during our honeymoon . Didn’t I remind you to take precaution ?”
“ Anyway , it’s good . We will celebrate . Not only this but after this baby we will have another baby soon . “
“ Why , now what’s the hurry ? “
“ So that we can bring them up in our youth and then we can relax when we are old . “
Manon and Andre were blessed with a baby girl within a year . They named her Elise . Elise was as beautiful as her mom . Within the next eighteen months the couple were blessed with a baby boy . They named him Dinis . Dinis features were a mixture of his parents but still very handsome and attractive.
Andre and Manon were happy and content with their family of four. They could easily afford all the needs of their kids . Elise and Dinis grew with time . When they were about ten years old Elise asked Manon “ Mom , why do your and dad’s faces resemble to a great extent ? Some of my classmates ask me - are they your parents or siblings ? I feel awkward . “
It happens baby . You can find a couple of identical faces in different cities or even countries . There is nothing wrong with it . It is said there are people with similar faces in this world , they are called doppelgangers . Just chill and relax. “ Dinis was also standing nearby and he too supported his mom’s words .
