A New Start in Life Part 31
We walked to the place Charley was waiting for us and soon we were
reunited. I had only left Charley for an hour but in that time she had
four bags of shopping it was just after three in the afternoon so we
decided to eat where we were then go home.
As we sat down with coffee waiting for our food I quietly said, "Shoni
it would be nice to phone your mum to apologise for storming out. After
all she hasn't seen you for over a year and one day and you've stomped
out."
She looked at me then quietly said, "As usual you are right - I guess I
over-reacted a bit?"
That made me grin. "A bit? I would say a lot but thanks for thinking
about me - you're a good friend."
Shoni smiled ruefully and made the call telling her mum that she'd be
home on Monday. I phoned Kelly and found out that she was being killed
with kindness her mum wouldn't let her do a thing - and yes it was
driving her crazy!
So I suggested that we go and see her on Monday as well.
I spoke to Kell's mum and she was more than happy to see us to save any
embarrassment I would stay with Kell while Charley would stay at
Shoni's.
Then we talked about getting Charley's room redecorated to her taste.
There was the usual argument about me doing this but we won and I phoned
the designer that had done the work on the rest of the place.
He agreed to call by tomorrow afternoon to see what we wanted doing, as
this was only one room getting the wardrobes and stuff should be
relatively quick.
When we got home we did a huge on line food order to be delivered on
Saturday evening. I could see Charley was still ill at ease as she kept
asking us if it was all right to do everyday simple things.
Eventually I said, "Charley please treat this place as your home you
needn't ask us if you want to do things it's like......... err like." I
had run out of inspiration then Shonali chipped in with, "Charley think
of 'Friends' but without the guy's we are simply that Friends who live
together."
Then she went on her I-Phone and Wi- Fi'ed the theme tune from Friends
onto our sound system. This got us giggling and dancing and started our
three-girl party, which lasted late into the night and consisted of
wine, chocolate and loads of laughter!
Thursday I contacted Jill my councillor and she managed to fit me in
late that very afternoon. And she asked me to bring Shonali along. When
Shoni and I discussed this we decided that it must be something to do
with India.
So the three of us did the mundane things in life namely cleaning doing
the washing sorting Charley out with drawer space for the clothes she
had bought mainly underwear, tights, some jeans, a few tops and a couple
of skirts and a warm quilted jacket!
All in an hour she had bought this lot and we thought we were good at
shopping!
The designer arrived and produced some sketches. Charley picked the
colour scheme she liked and between us we chose the fittings - now to
when the work could be done.
The designer phoned the decorator who had half a day free to do the room
(Half a day! It would have taken us a week!)
So the following Thursday the room would be decorated and the furniture
delivered and fitted on the Friday. So like last time I left the
designer the key to the flat and one of his team would oversee the work.
All we had to do was empty the room!
Then it was time for my appointment with my councillor, we decided that
we'd go and eat after this and call in at the Cross Keys where we used
to work to see if any of the crowd was still frequenting the place.
So the three of us dressed semi smart skin-tight jeans, sparkly tops and
fashion boots - I know I am biased but we looked HOT!
At Jill's office Charley waited in reception while Shoni and I went in.
As we had thought Jill wanted Shonali to describe what she had seen that
fateful day in Northern India.
As Shonali told her tale it brought everything rushing back talking to
my family touching them actually feeling them feeling the love. I became
very emotional remembering.
Then it was my turn, through the tears and emotion I told Jill my story
and finished by asking her, "Do you think we're crazy?"
I have always trusted Jill as my councillor for her candour. This time
she was less sure but said, "Susanna no the two of you aren't crazy -
you certainly experienced something but what it was I personally have no
idea." She looked steadily at me then asked. "Now what Susanna?"
This took no thinking on my part so I answered, "I want to become who I
am - Susanna - it's that simple Jill."
Jill gave a broad smile saying, "Well you found the way to do this by
yourself, I'll contact Dr. Kendrick and we'll set things in progress -
if that's ok with you?"
Beaming with happiness I confirmed that this is what I wanted.
Jill gave a bit stretch and sighed. "It's been a long day - I think I've
earned my glass of wine tonight"
On the spur of the moment I asked. "Jill we're going to the Keys then
the Taj do you feel like coming with us?"
She thought for a moment then answered, "That sounds good girls but my
husband has to come too as I was meeting him in town but her can meet us
there. He used the Keys when he was at Uni too - in fact that's where I
met him."
So it was arranged and the four of us got the bus to the university area
and headed to the Cross Keys.
When we arrived there were still some there that we knew and soon we
were back into the girls versus boys pool teams - BUT now us girls had
our secret weapon namely Charley who was ace at pool! Her dad had taught
her how to play.
Much to the delight of the girls with myself, Jill and Charley we girls
really kicked arse much to the delight of the regular girls and the
disgust of the guy's!
"Hi Susanna you're looking well." I turned around and there stood Rob I
hadn't seen him for over 18 months. "Rob" I squealed giving his a hug
and a peck on the cheek. "How are you keeping." While we caught up I
introduced him to Charley, Jill and her husband Steve. (It seemed
strange to be calling someone by the name that used to be mine)
It turns out that Rob was doing a post graduate degree course in
Medieval History something or other BUT and here is the thing. I was
yesterday's girl!
Today's girl was Charley and from the looks they kept giving each other
the attraction was very mutual.
I glanced at Shonali and nodded towards the toilet we excused ourselves
and headed to the loo.
Shoni said, "Looks like you've been dumped sister!" I grinned and was
about to answer then the door opened and Jill walked in. She saw the two
of us standing talking and said, "I guess you are discussing your friend
Charley and her new friend?"
The two of us giggled and Shoni commented, "There's certainly an
attraction there." So between the three of us we decided that we'd give
them the chance to be alone and go to eat just the four of us. Charley
knew where we lived and could get in as she had the access code and
apartment key.
When we left the toilet I think the three of us did a double take Rob
had moved to sit next to Charley and the two of them were in a deep
conversation about something and it was a very tactile discussion.
We said that we were going to eat and would see them later. Charley
looked a bit worried until Shoni said, "Why don't you stay here and talk
to Rob, you know where we live and Rob's a perfect gentleman we'll see
you later - ok?"
Without giving her time to think Shonali, myself, Jill and Steve left to
go down the street to the Taj Indian Restaurant.
This was the best Indian Restaurant in the area and being mainly a
student area it was very reasonably priced. I liked Jill both as a
councillor and a person and her husband Steve was brilliant company.
Jill knew about Rob and myself from our counselling sessions even though
she had made the no work rule she simply had to ask me if I minded.
I laughed out loud at this and answered, "Good lord no Rob and myself
would never work I need someone who I can argue with - Rob is just so
nice he's a complete gentleman."
We left about nine and headed to the bus as we walked Shonali said to
me. "Susie you say you don't mind about Gill and Rob. There are not many
girls who get dumped by two separate blokes on the same day. I'd be
planning to murder one or both of them!"
We reached the bus stop and I squeezed her arm telling her. "But I'm not
just any girl Shoni - I'm not even a girl."
Shonali was about to argue but I stopped her carrying on. "Look Shoni
you are my best friend, while we were away especially after India I have
done a lot of thinking and one of the things I had decided was to not
commit to any man until I was a complete woman."
Shoni looked at me I could see she was thinking about what I had just
said then she looked me straight in the eyes and gasped. "You were going
to split with Gill and Rob anyway?" I nodded Shoni giggled and carried
on. "I've said it before but you are some girl Susanna!"
She squeezed my arm affectionately as the but arrived saying. "I'm glad
we are friends." I looked affectionately at her and quietly replied.
"And so am I! Without you I would never have made it as Susanna!"
We got on the bus and sat down Shoni then told me, "That's crap Susie
you would have made it" then she giggled carrying on. "But you'd have
been a bit rough round the edges and not as stylish!" That set us both
giggling and lightened our mood a hell of a lot.
We had just arrived home and my phone rang, from the tone I knew it was
my Aunty Val. She knew we were back in the UK and the reason she asked
how we were and we spoke for a while then on a whim I said, "Aunty Val I
was thinking of coming to see you tomorrow if that's OK?"
I glanced at Shonali who cocked her eye questioningly at me. Aunty Val
was or sounded extremely happy at my news saying. "Oh Susanna that would
be wonderful to meet my new niece in person what time are you arriving?"
I confessed I didn't have a clue on the train times so I promised to
phone her when I knew so we left it at that and hung up both of us
anticipating tomorrow.
Shonali looked at me saying. "So where are we going tomorrow?" I smiled
and said, "I've got to face my family sometime so I'm going to Durham to
see my Aunty Val."
Shoni gave that sigh she uses when I'm being silly! I looked at her
asking. "What? What's the matter?"
"Susanna," she sighed. "I SAID where are WE going tomorrow!" I looked at
her for a moment then said, "It's something I have to do........"
She broke in telling me. "I know sweetheart and you are not going
alone!" "But" I started when she steamrollered me. "No but's Susanna I'm
going with you - and I suspect Charley will want to come to as she is
very fond of you."
Secretly I was pleased at this however I would have gone by myself but
with my friends there I would feel loved if my family rejected me. I
simply said, "Oh well if your certain"
"I'm certain Susie, I'm certain," was all she said. The rest of the
night we spent looking train times and packing as we had decided to stay
the weekend at the Travelodge so we booked a room Friday until Monday
morning when we would be going to Leeds to stay with Kelly.
Sure enough when Charley came home (with Rob) and we told her where we
were going for the weekend we called it a family emergency. She simply
said to Poor Rob. "Sorry Honey but Family call's I'll phone you when we
get back - OK?"
Rob took it like the man he is and answered, "Family come first Charley
- phone me ok?"
Charley promised then gave him a passionate kiss in front to us
whispering. "Sorry but I'll make up for tomorrow!" Then there followed
another bout of tongue wrestling between Charley and Rob.
After a somewhat bewildered Rob had left Charley looked dreamily at the
door saying to us. "He is a really nice guy he's so considerate and ----
-- well nice." She looked at me saying. "You sure you don't mind Susie -
Rob told me you used to be an item!"
I gave her a hug telling her, "That was in the past Charley but you're
right he in a really nice guy - but he needs a strong girl like you!"
Charley looked dreamily and murmured. "Well he's got one if he want's
it."
I have a feeling Charley was smitten with Rob - good for them both I
thought.
We packed our bags for the week then went to bed. I must admit I was
very worried about actually meeting Aunty Val in person and started
wondering what I should wear this is a BAD thing for a girl to do before
she goes to sleep!
After changing my mind about 200 times I finally decided on a knitted
dress that really suited me it was dark green and really brought out my
eye's and hair! Also sensible pair of boots and my cream quilted parka
with the fur collar.
So it was well after midnight that I got to sleep to be woken by my
alarm clock at seven!
We all met up in the kitchen the first thing Shoni asked was. "What are
you wearing Susie?" I told her my choice and added that I want to look
feminine but not too girly-girly so I had decided on the knitted dress.
She thought about it for a while and agreed deciding that as we were
going girly she would wear a dress.
So that forced Charley's hand and we raided my wardrobe for Charley a
dress.
I phoned my Aunty at nine and told her that we were catching the 10am
train. I told her that two of my friends are coming with me and we plan
to sleep at the travel-lodge.
I must admit that she did sound a bit disappointed that either because I
was not staying at her house or that I was bringing two friends with me.
We arrived in Durham just before noon. For those of you who has never
been there when you get off the train and turn to face the opposite
platform you have the most amazing view of the Castle and the Cathedral
- Durham is called 'The Land of the Bishop Princes'.
I don't think Charley had ever actually seen something this old that was
man made. She was mesmerised looking at the impressive sight I said to
her. "I'm really glad you came - isn't it spectacular?"
"Can we get close to it?" she asked. I nodded telling her, "Do you want
to go around it tomorrow?"
"Oh yes you bet" was the reply.
As we turned and picked up our cases a woman approached who I recognised
- my Aunty Val.
My suppressed nerves rose to the surface how would she react when she
saw me in the flesh. It was one thing on the phone or emailing but to
actually meet me was something else entirely.
"Susanna?" she asked in a questioning voice. My throat was as dry as a
bone hesitantly I nodded. "Oh god," she gasped. "You are exactly like
Helen! Err your mother.
She looked exactly the same when she was your age!" Then she ran the few
steps separating me and threw her arms around me hugging me to her.
It was like a dam had burst inside me I had been dreading and perversely
looking forward to this moment for so long! And now I was in the arms of
one member of my family who seemed to accept me for what I was -
Susanna.
"Aunty Val." I sobbed for I was an emotional wreck. "You don't mind?
Honestly you don't mind?"
She held me at arms length looked me up and down then hugged me to her
again telling me. "No Susanna I don't mind you are a beautiful young
woman. But I will admit I was dubious as to how I'd feel - but now no
all my doubts have gone love."
We released each other and aunty Val looked at Shoni and Charley.
Proudly I introduced my friends. "Guy's this is my Aunty Val. This is
Shonali and this is Charley" then I added. "She's and American!"
Charley grinned at my aunty and commented. "You're Ok ma'am you can't
catch being an American!"
I was mortified. "I didn't mean ...... err I meant ...... but I only."
Charley gave me a broad grin saying. "Susie shut up girl before you die
of embarrassment - we know what you meant! Pleased to meet you Ma'am."
The last part was directed to my aunty.
Everyone was grinning at my discomfort but the ice had been broken. My
aunty said, "Girls please call me Val Ma'am makes me feel older than I
am!"
We walked out of the station talking away like we all had known each
other for years. I was silent thinking 'well this is one member of my
family who doesn't hate me'
"What will uncle Frank say?" I worriedly asked my aunty. She simply
smiled and told me, "Ask him." I looked around and saw a man looking at
us with amazement etched all over his face. "Eeeee Val she does look
like your Helen!" he exclaimed then to me her said, "Well lass aren't
you going to give me a hug." I was so happy as I ran into his arms and
received a big hug from him. Once again I was an emotional wreck.
After he had let me go he said to us all. "Right girls pile in and let's
get you home and settled in! And before you say anything we've cancelled
your booking I'm not having my new niece stopping at a hotel."
I looked at my aunty; she simply shrugged and said, "His idea not mine
love." I was dazed things were going far better than I could ever have
dreamed about.
We arrived home their house was a three bed room semi detached built in
the thirties, we were shown out bedrooms and I had a room to myself we
sorted ourselves out then went downstairs to talk.
While my aunty and uncle talked about the family and their reaction to
my changes we told them about our travels.
About half past three the front door opened and a voice shouted. "It's
only us Mam!" Aunty Val commented that's our Beth she's just picked the
kids up from school.
A woman of about 24 came in and smiled at us she directed her gaze at me
and said, "Hi Susanna I'm your cousin Beth" quietly I told her, "I
recognised you from when we were young but how........." "Did I know
you? Family resemblance love" Beth finished then added. "But you've
changed a lot - and for the better!" I was introduced to her kids, two
little girls about 4 and 6.
Soon we were happily playing with them on the rug having a great time
aunty Val warned me I'd make a mess of my dress. I simply grinned I was
having so much fun.
Finally the girls were tired out, the younger sat on my knee sucking her
thumb while Charley had the elder who was fascinated by Charley's accent
asking her all sorts of questions - it was great to watch our Charley
being interrogated by a blond haired 6 year old bundle of curiosity!
Finally I had to ask the question that was uppermost in my mind. I
cleared my throat and asked. "Don't any of you mind about...... Well
about me?"
They looked at me and it was Beth who answered; she shuffled up
alongside me and put her arm around me giving me a squeeze she started.
"Look Susanna when mum first found out - well she was shocked." "That
right mam?" My aunty nodded Beth carried on. " She came to me and we
talked it through then we both went on the Internet to find out more."
She smiled and added, "You can't half find some crap on the web but
there are some sensible sites. So once we had sorted things out in our
own minds we were really fine with what you had decided to do. After all
it's not everyday your cousin becomes a girl is it!"
I blushed and mumbled, "I suppose not." I was embarrassed but Beth gave
me another squeeze and said, "Look we know this must be hard for you.
God knows it's hard enough for us to know how to treat you!" Then she
realised how that last statement sounded and started to apologise when
Charley spoke. "I know I'm not family but I know Susie very well, so
please treat her just like any other girl, she is a loving, caring and
compassionate human being I'm proud to call my best friend."
Beth Nodded then carried on. "You're right Charley what I just said came
out all wrong and I'm so sorry Susie. When Mam showed us pictures of you
and I saw that you were so very happy and very pretty so I thought what
the hell it's her life.
Then we had to tell the old dinosaur over there." She said this nodding
towards her dad. Uncle Frank raised his eyebrows and said, "And?"
Beth snorted and told us. "The old bugger simply looked over his paper
and said fine as long as he's happy.
That was the last time he has ever spoke of you as a male! After that
when he asked about you he always referred to you as our Susanna or
simply she." I felt really good about this and said so.
Beth carried on saying, "Well Susie; tonight you'll meet some more of
the family, our Robin (Beth's brother) Eva his wife and kids will be
there.
"Uncle Frank chipped in saying. "Oh we forgot to tell you we're going
out for a meal about six so you can meet them, there may also be some
others there but we haven't invited them!
"How have the other's in the family reacted?" I asked anxiously. Rather
unusually it was Uncle Frank that answered.
Now I think most families have an 'Uncle Frank'! He's the normally quiet
one but when he speaks people listen.
"Look Susie," he began. "Val and I have discussed this. Val is your
mothers only family and that tosser in Australia is your fathers only
family." (It seemed strange to my ears to hear my uncle refer to someone
in those terms)
So all the rest around here are my family and to be honest they know
I've got nieces and nephews but they haven't a clue who they are apart
from they're related to me. Now girl a question for you - how many
people know about you?"
I thought then answered. "There's the girls. You and Aunty Val, Beth and
Robin, my councillor and my tutor at uni and that's about all." Shoni
added. "there's the Dean at Uni and my brother Susie you've forgot about
them." Then Charley added. "And Ceri" I nodded my thanks to them then
said, "Well that's about 12 or 13 people."
Uncle Frank continued. "And I assume that everything's in your new
name?" I nodded answering. "Except my birth certificate but that'll be
changed after my operation."
He continued saying. "Let's keep it that way I would suggest. I know
that there are some bigots in my family but look girl only those that
matter know. Why tell anyone else?"
I sat there and thought about this then I glanced at Shoni who was being
interrogated by Charley's inquisitor.
Shonali nodded saying, "It does make sense Susie."
I then looked at Charley who looked deep in thought. Slowly she nodded
and said, "Why tell people that you don't really know and that could
hurt you - what your uncle says makes a lot of sense."
I turned to my aunt and uncle my mind made up saying. "Ok, it makes
sense to me too so we'll do as you suggest after all you know best."
Now that was settled Beth said, "It does make sense Susie. The old Grump
does speak sense ----- at times!" Then she stood up saying. "Come on
kids we've got to get home and get ready for tonight!"
Uncle Frank got up saying and I'm getting to the bathroom now else I'll
never get in there with 4 bloody women in the house! And with that he
disappeared to the only bathroom in the house. Aunty Val shouted after
him. "And don't take all day you Frank!" Followed by. "And don't use all
the hot water either!"
