"Bro, I want to talk to you about something."
"Yeah sis, sure."
"Look at this." She showed him the offer letter.
"Hey, that's cool. Finally, cracked this one as well. Time to celebrate sis!"
"So, what are you thinking to reply to this letter?"
He laughed. "What do you mean? Just as always-"
"You have to accept this."
"What?"
"Yes, see, the company is a great one - it is one of the best animation studios in the world!"
"So what?"
"You can learn many things there."
"Come on, what happened sis?"
"What happened to you? Just a few years right?"
"Just a few years? Just? Wait, this is not you. How did you get this letter?"
"That's not your thing?"
"Mom and Dad. They asked you to do this?"
"No."
"You can't lie to me, sis. Let me talk to them."
"STOP! Either you have to go, or I will go."
"Where?"
"I have applied to another company and got selected. I have to sign the letter."
"What are you talking sis?"
"It's okay to miss someone right? What will happen if you miss me? After you meet me, we will get further close."
"Say that to someone who got bored of their people. I have already missed you enough!!"

***
"Abha, you should have to convince him to accept this offer."
"He does not accept Uncle, and we both know."
"Yeah, but I cannot see his talent go waste here. He could match the world's top talent with this opportunity."
"He would not accept missing me, Uncle."
"Then you could have also applied right? You both could go there."
"I applied Uncle. I am not selected."
"What is wrong with missing siblings? Even I have sisters. Aren't we living far away? Aren't we minding our own works? Does that mean we don't love them?"
"He is not like the rest of us Uncle. He would say he already missed me enough."
"Really? Do you know that much of him? Whatever, at least think of his career and ask him to go for that, only for a few years right? Please.."

***
It was the worst time he ever spent in his life.
He never thought he and his sister would separate.
Why people should separate? 
Why people should withstand the distance?
We should stop praising people who went far from their close ones to achieve bigger things.
What do achievements mean when they don't have someone to cuddle and celebrate?

The past is a trap. If you ever give a glance, it grabs you and keeps you thinking of the same things again and again. 

By the time he came to his senses, he felt he lost much time distracted.
He checked the time. 

It was the same time he saw her for the past two days. He wanted to be alert as he could see her at any moment.
After a few minutes, he saw her.
He immediately rushed and stood in front of her.
"How are you, sis?"
It took very less time to recognize the voice.
She was feeling happy, sad and confused.
"Okay, let me change the question. Can we go somewhere and talk sis?"
She nodded.

***** Author: Rama Subrahmanyam Want to know the intro? Click here . Missed part 2? Click here . *****       He did not care about the route. He did not mind his looks. He was not feeling anything. He reached a deep forest. The sounds of wild animals did not fear him. He stopped and sat under a tree when he couldn't walk anymore. His every thought was about his past. His mistakes. His arrogance. The "his" was the reason for turning a bright life into a disaster. He had been crying, continuously. When he no more had the tears, he was thrown into a deep depression. He was thinking of only one chance to correct himself, correcting everything. It was not possible, he thought.     His depression has turned the bright sunny forest into a dark night. The wind stopped breezing to mourn with him. He sensed that his end was coming near. Suddenly a voice was heard, "You will get a second chance if your will is strong enough.." He did not believe what he heard. He did ...

          Author: Rama Subrahmanyam *****      The dinner is completed. Without wasting much time, he quickly went to the table and started penning down his thoughts. He had to write so many things, and he picked his mobile for reference - His brain had been bursting with thoughts the whole day, he had quickly saved them so that they were not forgotten by night.     "I did not know that today would be a special one till I saw her at my office. It was a surprise. When she recognized and greeted me, my body was frozen as if I saw some ghost. Of course, I was not at all expecting her at that time. Then she wished me and we had a small talk. How can I prevent that? It is short and sweet talk.     "She visited the area where our office is located for some work and saw me accidentally. As she knew me as a school friend, and a well-known face in our school WhatsApp group, she talked me to know what I am doing now and all. Of course, I...

        ***** Author: Rama Subrahmanyam Missed part 1? Read it here *****      He was at the table, looking at the diary. His hands were shaking. It was the lowest point one could ever reach. He could not go further down or further bad. He had gathered some strength and began writing.     "What I thought would happen, it happened. What I couldn't bear, it showed up. What I feared for, it occurred. But it's not about me. I should not have sent that message."     "We were a happy couple, like the best couple on the planet. Every day was special when I woke up to see her face. Every day was filled with lots of memories that require thousands of lives to experience. I no longer needed diaries to share my feelings. She became my dairy, and I became hers. We welcomed Saanghvi into the world, to give her all the love no one can ever imagine.."     "I thought love could change anything and anyone. What a great love..!! But I reali...
