Found after years

"I'm not concerned about not having a child since we are filled with the best love ever", Morgan said this to his wife as they both smiled and hugged each other.
The Morgans (Mr. and Mrs.) have been married for 15 years without a child. Their marriage has been blessed and filled with love. They never cared about having a child but wanted to remain glued to each other at all times.

It was not until four years later that they had to adopt a child from the orphanage home. She was named Gloria. She was so beautiful and adored by the Morgans. They provided everything she needed and showered her with love as she was just five.

Gloria started her primary school. She was so brilliant and was topping the class. Her teachers were happy to have her as their best among others.

Gloria aimed to study nursing at a higher institution and was working towards it. She went to secondary school after getting out of the primary school and was doing fine. She never relinquished her brilliance when she got to secondary school. Likewise, she was the best student but was competing with Jephthah. Jephthah was a boy of the same age as Gloria. They both met and began to read together, making their way to greatness.

They are now in their final year and are ready to make the best result that would shake and raise the standard of their school. Not only that, but they planned to read together and make the most of it. Any questions they found difficult, they wouldn't hesitate to meet with their teacher to get such questions solved for them. They were at their peak and had the same dream of studying nursing.

It was time for the final exams, and on the first day, Jephthah was nowhere to be found. She searched and searched all around the classes and even went to meet with her class teacher to find out if there was any information about Jephthah's absence. But no one seemed to give her an answer. She was derailed and immediately went to search for her class register to see if she could grab his parents' phone number.

'It's just two hours until the start of the exams, and yet Jephthah was nowhere to be found? What would have happened to him?" These were the questions left in her head. As she was searching for her class register, water was dripping from her eyes. This made her class teacher get involved. She helped in searching for Jephthah's parents' phone number. The number was unreachable. She tried again with her class teacher's phone but got the same response.

"Sir, can you tell me where his house is? Gloria asked.
"The only teacher who knew his house is not in school today. They lived close to each other", the class teacher said politely.
Being someone so smart and sharp, she immediately thought of a way out: "Please call Mr. James, since they lived in the same area. He must know what the problem is",
After much pressure, the class teacher dialed Mr. James' phone number, and it went through. "Please, can you tell me what happened to Jephthah? He is yet to get to the school".
"I was with his mom this morning. They were unable to pay his fees. This would have led to his absence", Mr. James said, but being so curious, Gloria grabbed the phone from her class teacher and asked, "Where exactly is this place?"

The area was mentioned, and without wasting too much time, Gloria had to call her parents through her class teacher's phone.
"Dad, can you please do me a favor?
"Speak up, darling; I can do anything for you", Mr. Morgan responded.
"Please, Dad, my friend, Jephthah, the one I told you about, is having a little financial difficulty. Can you help him out?" Without hesitation, her dad asked for directions to Jephthah's house. He got there and saw Jephthah. He brought him to the school within 30 minutes. His bills were settled, and they did the exams successfully.

"You should have told me about your financial difficulty. You can see the stress you have made me pass through and the tears that have left my face. I would rather not hear this again", Gloria said to Jephthah.
"Please, I think you should give me directions to your house. I hope the exams went successfully. Jephthah said.
"Yes, it is, but I was somehow derailed just because of you", Gloria responded.

Jephthah got home and told his mom about how Mr. Morgan got his bills cleared.
"We have to go thank him for his kindness", Jephthah's mom said. Meanwhile, Jephthah has been having nightmares almost every day about Gloria talking to him just like his twin sister. They had a good time together in the dream. He did not inform her mom or anyone else about it. He just knew it was just a nightmare and nothing much, but the continuous nightmare was still a mystery that he needed to solve. At least his mom had told him how she lost his twin sister when they went to the market. "It may be merely a nightmare", he ended.

They went straight to Gloria's abode that weekend. They met everyone in grief but without Gloria.
"Where is Gloria? Jephthah asked.
"She fell ill this morning and was taken to the clinic. She needs a bone marrow transfusion, and we have been unable to get her a match since she was adopted", Gloria's mom said.
"Something is telling me to go to the hospital", Jephthah said, being so worried.
They got to the hospital, and he went straight to where the doctor was. "Please, can you try to test me to see if I would match with her?" Jephthah asked the doctor. "The only ones who are capable of doing this would be her relatives", the doctor replied.
"Please, sir, just try me. I have a hunch that I would be a match", Jephthah said, but was asked to call her parents. He called his mom, and she gave consent to it but doubted his match with Gloria. "Let's just do what he wants, but it would come out to be negative since he is not related to her", Jephthah's mom said to the doctor.

After the test, it was a successful one. Jephthah was a perfect match.
"But how is this possible? Gloria's mom said.

"I think they are relatives because it is not possible to have another person other than the relatives", the doctor said to Gloria's parents.

Mr. Morgan called Jephthah's mom in private and asked, "Please, do you have a missing child?"
"I lost one of my children when I was going to the market. I searched, and the policemen also helped in searching, but she was nowhere to be found", Jephthah's mom responded soberly.

"I think Gloria is your daughter, but you have to leave her with us as she was adopted from the Mercy Home", Mr. Morgan said in tears.
"It's an agreement, but she must reunite with me and eat my food once again. I need to touch her and hug her", She could not think twice before bursting into an exciting cry.

Gloria was told how she was saved and who got her saved.
"I'm excited to see you again, my child; it's been over 12 years now. They hugged each other, and that night they were together. Jephthah was happy to see his twin sister after years.

It was an interesting story with a twist that was not expected. I really enjoyed reading such a moving story about the twins.

Thanks for sharing.

A very enjoyable and complex story, @cool08. Gloria and Jephthah knew they had a special connection, and the real reason for it is quite a surprise. Thank you for joining the reunion prompt, and for reading and commenting on the work of other community members.
