I wanted to pull off my stupiddress right in front of them but I simply thanked them and followed momout the door.Back home the celebration continued....I asked mom if I could change outof my dress. She said I could if I wanted to show daddy how cute Ilooked in my baby doll pajamas. I decided immediately that would beworse so I sat down quietly. I certainly didn't want to have dad see mein that stupid girls nightie. As I was sitting there, mom brought outsome nicely wrapped presents for me to. A look of confusion passed her face, but for only a moment.“I had to think,” she said with a nervous laugh. “I’ve been living with a family for the last 15 years.”“She means a cult,” Chuck said. “She’s been deprogrammed. And it was a battle.”“That’s true,” she said, her old smile arriving right on schedule. “I’ve been able to see the light. I’m so glad they got me the hell out of there.”“Where was that?” I pressed on.“Idaho,” she said. “Down in the southwest corner of the state on a big piece. I went to her home couple of day later with her on my bike. She was sitting beside me while in Ahmadabad it is heavy traffic hence had to apply brakes many times, every time she used to touch me from back she used to smile which I could see in mirror.Finally we reached her home and she was not staying in a good area took me on first floor. She opened the door which was bolted, she confirmed that her father is coming who will leave in 10-15 min. Her father arrived, I explained him and then I. I didn't mean to mess things up - I shouldn't have interfered." She looked down.I walked over to her, put my hands gently on both sides of her face and turned it up to make her look me in the eye. "Joyce. Sweet sweet Joyce. You cannot imagine how happy I am you have arranged for my daughters to be there for my birthday. I'm sure it will be alright." OK," she almost sniffled. I kissed her and went back to my office to finish off some tasks.I couldn't - I was totally distracted, thinking only of.
