New sisters

Lua (11) and Nandini (11) are sisters. They organized themselves. Three years ago they met and became friends. They both lived in an asylum centre. They played and danced after school. Lua did not have a mother anymore and Nandini did not have a father anymore. At least, Lua’s biological Venezolan mother left the family while Lua was still a baby. Nandini’s biological Indian father had divorced her mother years ago. "Let’s match them," they said to each other. They came up with a plan, their father and mother should drink a lot of tea together...
