Penelope sat on a chair in her balcony in the middle of the night, she hasn't gone to bed as she was bothered about what happened at the dinning table during the day.
First, her aunt Diana had come into the kitchen looking worn out and knowing that she would ask her what the problem was, had jokily threatened her to stop her from being worried about her.
Her acting might has seem flawless to a stranger but not to her who knows what loving someone and yearning for them is like.
She understands that she didn't want her worried about her but all this worries her the more especially since she knew the truth about everything.
She feels horrible that her aunt had to spend years concealing her heartbreak cos of a non- existence "CURSE ".
From what she has heard from her family before she got to know of their existence, aunty Diana has never been in a relationship after her divorce all she had done was work and work.
