{Rema's POV}
I was walking down the narrow road surrounded by trees and it was nearly 6:30 evening, my friends Selene and Vail were with me, both taking my left and right sides, walking together with me, towards our home. There was one more person today with us, Sam, Selene's boyfriend, who was busy making jokes with Selene and Vail about my birthday party, which was coming the day after tomorrow. Though they were talking by my sides, my thoughts were somewhere else, confused, anxious, and excited for the same.
Soon Selene parted with us, towards her way home. After some it was Vail's stop, followed by Sam. Eventually, I reached my house which was located a little far from the city. As I opened the door, I saw Mom and Dad sitting on the sofa and watching a new movie. My older sister, Ket was sitting right next to Dad, her face turned towards me, a mischievous smile on her face. Though I was sure, just as I entered, I caught a glimpse of my dad's right hand on my sister's thigh. But like in previous incidents, I ignored and walked towards my mom.
"I am home!" I called out, my voice carrying the same innocence and vibrant tone it always did. I sat down next to my mom for a quick hug. At 39, my mom, Natalie, still looks like someone in her twenties--slim, fit, and healthy. Her face always carries a positive smile, and her warm, natural skin tone adds to her youthful appearance. I've always seen her hair tied up. Though not so tall reaching 5'7, I have seen dad complimenting her legs 'long'.
Today, she was wearing a loose green maxi dress with two buttons at the top and half sleeves. As she leaned against my dad, with her face resting on his shoulder, I couldn't help but notice the glimpse of her cleavage.
"So, when are your holidays starting, Rem?" my older sister asked. She was wearing a purple and white tee and shorts with a mixed design. She is now 25 years old, with a slender physique having wavy black hair till mid back, natural skin tone, and with handful size breasts. She was adopted when my twin brother Aarav and I were 11 or 12. Despite being adopted, she quickly became the most beloved member of the family, especially to me.
Back then, both mom and dad worked full-time and needed someone to help care for Aarav and me. We often visited orphanages and old-age homes, and I felt an immediate connection with Ket because we had so much in common. She became a role model for me, and since Aarav and I had always wanted an older sibling, Mom and Dad decided to adopt her from the orphanage.
Looking towards my lovely sister, "From tomorrow, it will be for a week, sis" I said.
" Ok, go upstairs and change into some comfortable clothes, we all need to discuss something with you, it's very important, " my dad (Scott )said. He was wearing half-pants and a t-shirt. A very athletic-like body, tall and handsome. He has a slightly honey tone on his complexion. If my sister was my role model for her hard work during her childhood, then dad was my hero.
I got a little tense and started walking upstairs toward my room, I think today will be the day, I will get some of my answers.
I went upstairs and changed into a T-shirt and shorts. Looking towards the mirror, I can see why some guys stare at me hard. I resemble mom mostly except in the chest and hips department. Mine boobs though smaller than mom were bigger than every other girl in my class. My hair, which reaches down to my mid-back, adds an extra touch of allure on my smooth and cool ivory skin tone.
Remembering what Dad said, I remembered all those previous incidents where I got confused. As you see, I am like all other typical girls, cute, lovely, funny, and innocent.
I will describe to you all some of the past few incidents where I got confused, sometimes angry, excited, and lonely. It started after my 18th birthday when I started encountering such incidents.

During our camp trip in summer, my mom and my brother were busy placing all the necessary bags in our van(like a bus with sleeping, cooking, etc. facilities available) for traveling, I remembered I had to take my handset from my room, so I ran back to my room to get it. While coming back, I heard some noises from the kitchen, it was a laugh of women, remembering that maybe my sister would be there I walked towards the kitchen. But just as I caught sight of the kitchen, I stopped in my steps because there in the kitchen, sister was bent nearly at 90 degrees and dad was standing behind sister nearly 1 meter away, there was nothing different in that situation but dad was looking towards sister's hips and sister was giggling and shaking slightly her hips while looking back towards dad. But what happened after that was a real shock to me, I heard "Daddy won't you help me there a little" from my sis. When I heard, I dropped my headset and unconsciously walked in sight of them, they looked towards me and my sister immediately got straight and acted like taking some things from the drawer.
"Ahh, Ket I will fix that after we come back from the trip dear.." Dad said after looking towards me for a few seconds.
"Let's go, Rema, by the way, why are you back? " Dad said
" Oh...ah... dad, I was back for these handsets,.....I will be going back, see you soon in the van, bye,"- I said while picking back the handset and walking towards the door. --'Well, maybe I thought wrong'.
After that, there was a scene where after I came back from college, taking half day, I saw mom and sister in the pool in their swimsuits, and dad was sitting towards the edge of the pool. Well, what was shocking was that sis and mom were playing in the swimming pool while wearing bikinis, very close to dad, both women's boobs were shaking and dad was freely ogling at them. As I saw, I ran upstairs in confusion, not knowing what I saw was right or wrong.
There was also a time when dad's younger brother and dad's friend were at home for dinner, when I and my brother came home after playing with friends at 8:30, I saw mom was giving juices to both uncles and dad, and they were looking towards mom's cleavage instead of her face or the glass. But what was shocking was that Dad wasn't paying them any attention, and Mom, oh God, was smiling and, I guess intentionally, giving them the view.
While such scenes became common as time passed, I got glimpses but they were also very confusing, they looked like something but suggested something else.
A few months back, It was time for Mom and Dad's trip to our family get-together. These get-togethers happen every few months, at the farmhouse, and every family member, extended family member, and other relatives and even close friends, I guess, used to go there. But interestingly I was never taken there, every time I requested Mom and Dad, they would reject saying, they would take me there some other day. Every time the plan for the trip was decided, Mom and Dad got so excited, which made me feel envious and curious. Hell, even my sister acted the same whenever she got a chance to go there.
Since someone needs to be there for us at home, my sister was chosen for that role. But this time, I heard something more confusing, I was, as usual, going to make the request, to take me with them. Just as I reached the room, "You know I will miss your older brothers and younger brother these time at the farmhouse....." Mom said. --' I guess they will not be visiting them but why will ' --"I know, what you miss honey ~~, even I will miss my friend Dani's wife"-- 'Wh..what..are they talking, why do I think there words mean something more'-- just as I was waiting to hear more, I heard some noises from stairs like someone is climbing the stairs close to the kitchen, I quietly ran back to my room and that was what made me think, that the farmhouse trip is not something, a simple enjoyment trip.
(Back to present time)
Soon my confusion will be cleared and I hope everything will be okay because I fear that Mom and Dad don't love each other and worst Dad is having an affair with my lovely sister or Mom with someone else, or something else is going on between them, but for sure it will be revealed today, before us sibling's birthday.
Checking everything, I slowly walked back down towards the hall where everyone I love was sitting, Mom and Sis were on different sofas but this time there was a slight nervousness on everyone's face. As I walked, my step's noise made them more nervous. As soon as I got near to them I heard " Come sweety, sit next to your sis place" Mom said. As I reached the sofa, Sis got up and sat next to Mom.
There was silence after I sat down, I guess they must be pondering over, who should start and from what. Seeing their nervous and anxious-filled face, I said, "Mom, Dad, Sis,..... You all know, I love you all the most,...I know, what topic you all will be discussing with me, but what I want to say is that, whatever you say, I will never think bad for any of you, I am curious to know, what secrets you all are hiding from me and my brother, why I feel, lonely, I don't know about brother because he is always with his friends and barely spends time with me after our last argument.., but the way you all act, it feels like I am different, even though everything is good over the surface, but sometimes I feel like you guys don't want me in because of those secrets, So please, I have never asked but today I want to say, what's happening between you all.......is it something bad? Something concerning? whatever it is please do share with me, I promise, I will never judge you all on what you say.... "
