Gifts from Sister Cicila - Short story

She came home after a year. Everyone was very happy to see her - sister Cicila. She brought everyone a gift from the city. Brother got toy car, sister got toy doll, mother got nice moisturiser and perfume and Dad got packet of cigar and bottle of whisky.

It was like Christmas came early, lot of happiness in the family.

Everyone in the family wanted to spend time with her. Everyone was around her. Everyone was asking her if she is hungry, if she needs something. She was the most important person in the house. Mom spent time with her in kitchen and went to beauty parlour together. Dad took her his shop and showed her around and told her what is his new business plans are. Brother showed her his drawing and taught her how to draw. Sister played with doll with her most of the time.

Days went by, Brother got sick of playing with his new car. Sister had enough with her new doll. Mother was running out of cream and perfume, Cicila gave them to her. Father was almost finished the cigar and ran low on whiskey, she gave them to him. So, slowly, Bother and sister were less interested in playing together with her. Mother didn't care if Cicila is in the kitchen with her or not. Father just went to shop alone.

Just like that, they started to think when she will be leaving. Family started to behave like she is extra one in the family and wanted her to leave soon.
