But the matterher, uh, didn’t want to travel because she has her own business in their home country and refused to travel with the father. And they decided to, uh, separate these identical, uh, twins when they were, uh, young and babies. So the father took Maria with him and, uh, the mother took Jane, uh, with her. After five years of being separated, uh, these kids, or babies reached themselves to reach together themselves, um, in Facebook.

I recently read a fascinating story in the newspaper about a family of four - a father, a mother, and two identical twins. The father had a business opportunity in India, which required him to relocate. However, the mother, who had her own business in their home country, was reluctant to move. They decided to separate the twins when they were babies, with the father taking Maria to India and the mother keeping Jane. After five years of being apart, the twins managed to find each other on Facebook. As you know, the internet makes it easy to search for people and connect with others. One of the twins, Jane, found Maria and they tried to reconnect online, but Maria didn't respond. Six or seven years later, both the father and mother happened to be on business trips to the United Arab Emirates at the same time. They both ended up staying at the same hotel and, by sheer coincidence, they bumped into each other. They were overjoyed to be reunited after all these years. It's a remarkable story about the power of fate and the enduring bond between twins, even when separated for so long.
