80 -year -old Samantha has always been attracted to second -hand shops, their dusty shelves and forgotten treasures that offer a sense of secrets and nostalgia.
She often felt that these places were held by the secrets waiting for revealing, the relics of the past were waiting for someone to give them a second life. But on one particular day, when she was passing through the flea market, something felt different.
It was as if she had not seen her strength to a particular item – an object that seemed almost too well known. Her curiosity aroused, Samantha could not shake the feeling that she was going to develop something extraordinary, even though she had no idea how much her life was going to change.
Samantha was regular in the second -hand shop. She enjoyed buying antique showpiece and furniture to decorate a small house in which she lived herself. One day she went shopping and expected that it would be like any other day in the flea market.
Samantha was sitting in the shop and looking around. A moment later she was captivated by the surrounding shop across the street from the furniture store.
Samantha was amazed at what she saw when she first entered the antique store. “Oh my God!” It can’t be it. Where did you take it? “She asked, her eyes with tears with tears when she pointed to a classic crimson pendant on a mannequin.
“Please … Can I see it?”
“Sure, you’re going here … that’s $ 40, but I’ll give you less for $ 5,” the seller smiled. Samantha turned the pendant several times and could not hold her emotions.
“I found it … it belonged to my mother!” She cried and endlessly ran down tears on her face. “Where did you take it?”
“I don’t know, but my dad told me someone sold it a few years ago.” It wasn’t because my father held it at home. After died last year, I cleaned the attic and found it there. So I put it for sale. ”
Samantha could not believe her eyes. “I’m running out!” She said, and when she went through a bag for cash, she heard someone to enter, followed by a loud voice:
“I’ll pay the price double … please give me … I want it at all costs!”
Samantha was impressed. When she saw a woman who looked like her.
Both women stared at themselves, unable to understand their distinctive form.
“What – What are your name?” I’m Samantha … And you? ”
“I’m Doris!”
“And why would you like to buy a pendant of my mom?”
“This is my mom’s Mom pendant … After my father left my mom, we became very poor, so she sold everything we had to do, and this pendant was among the heritings she sold.” She sold it to a man, but I don’t know how it got here. ”
“Let me show you,” Doris replied, pulling out an old, torn photo of Dorothy, who was wearing a pendant and holding a little girl on her lap.
“Jesus Christ!” That’s incredible! That’s my mother, and I’m with her, ”Samantha exclaimed.
“No, it’s not you … it’s me!” We’re twins! “Doris replied, stunning Samantha.
Doris was actually Samanth’s twin. Their parents, Dorothy and Michael, had a difficult marriage and divorced when Samantha and Doris were only one year. They divided and each child took one child to raise individually.
“I think it was God’s will to meet today, thanks to Mom’s pendant!”
Doris touched and moved to tears. Samantha bought a pendant and laid it around Doris’s neck.
When the pendant gently rested around Doris’s neck, both women stood in respect of the incredible turnover of events that combined them after so many years. A pendant, a respected memory of their mother, became a symbol of finding that he did not even expect. With tears in their eyes and smile on their faces, they realized that despite the years of separation, fate gave them a second chance to be together. In this quiet antique store in the middle of dusty treasures and forgotten memories, Samantha and Doris found something much more rare than jewelry – found. And when they came out of the trade, side by side, they knew that no matter what they had divided in the past, they were no longer alone.
