sa'niyah patiently waits for the doctors to call her name she was visiting her grandma this week, as her grandma was currently in an 1 month coma.

"visit for Mariam Jane?" as sa'niyah heard her grandmothers name she stood up and followed the doctor to the room.

"are you aware that there is another visitor in here?"

"uhh noo..do you kno who it is"

"guessing you should know her as y'all both have the same name...she goes by sa'teia"

"oh my god.." saniyah mumbled it herself she never expected her sister to be here, she hasn't seen her in ages and never planned on seeing her. walking inside the room she sees her older sister sitting next to their grandmother

"niyah?" sa'teia looked at her sister, feeling suprise as she hasn't her in a while.

"what are you doin here?"

"visiting grandma obviously, long time no see"

"still look the same as always" sa'teia mumbled

"and what are suppose to be like?" sa'niyah replied while folding her arms together.

"I'm a lawyer niyah, but das something you not interested in"

"how is your daughter" sa'teia smiled.

"she doing alright" sa'niyah kept it short.

"you letting her see her father?"

"that's none of your business teia, we doing fine without him"

"I never mention you weren't doing fine without him- and das cool but I was jus letting you know" sa'niyah cut her off while she still stands besides the wall eyeing her sister.

"well! I better get going as I have an appointment for a client, it was good seeing you" sa'teia faked smiled and grabs her black Dior handbag and walked out the room, hearing her heels clacking against the floor from every step.
