"You should be in the US, right?"
"Yes, but it seems I am here, with you."
"What happened? Why did you return?'
"Of course it was simple. Do I have to tell you that I missed you?"
"Nope. I am sorry."
"No, I am sorry. I should have talked to my parents on that day. I made a mistake.
So I corrected it."
"So?"
"Yeah, after that, I have talked to them and explained how special you are."
"They accepted?"
"Not an easy task. But yeah, after a few months. Tell me about you. Where have you been all these years?"
"I just could not stand at the same house. It keeps on remembering you. I thought I need a fresh space. I shifted here."
"I was just like a mad person searching for you. At least you could have called me."
"I thought that would make us unstable. You were there in the US focusing on your career, and I don't want to disturb you."

It was the time for silence to give company to both.

After a few minutes, Abha asked "So, you are working here? AS?"
"Yeah, there is a small animation studio here. They recently set up. Joined as lead animator."
"That's great to hear."
"What about you sis?"
"Yeah, I was teaching animation courses through youtube and personal coaching."
"That's great sis. Being a teacher is the toughest job I can ever think of."

They laughed.

"Hey, what about the girl? How was it going with her?"
"Yeah, I need your help sis."
"Whoa. At least, this time, try to propose bro!" she laughed.
"Stop mocking at me, sis. What about you?"
"Me? No no. I still want to be happy for some years."
"What do you mean?"
"Just kidding bro. I am fine with myself as of now. Tell me where are you living?"
"Ignore that part. Just a small room, enough for me. How about you show your home? Must be a cool one."
"Of course. I cannot compromise on that."

They went to Abha's home. It was a simple and small house. But looked cool due to the nice mountain view. 
They spent some time in her room, while she was explaining her projects.
"Okay, sis. I have to start now. Otherwise, it gets late for me to reach my room sis."
"You can stay here for the night bro."
"Then? I have to go again in the morning right? We will see for something permanent."
"Take care bro."
"You too."

While coming outside, he saw the adjacent building with a board "ROOM FOR RENT." He smiled.

The next day morning, while she was busy with her work, she heard the doorbell ring.
"Who was it?" asked Abha from inside.
"I, am your neighbour, who just shifted to the adjacent house."
She recognized the voice. She rushed and immediately opened the door.
Yes, it was his cute little brother.
"Oh, are you Ms Abha?" he asked with an innocent face.
"Yes, who are you? I never saw you before..." she replied.
"Okay, enough then. I admit my defeat sis."
"Yeah, thank you." Abha laughed, and so did he.


We don't know for how long they stay together like this. But believe that they always try to be together, backing each other, poking each other.
What can siblings do other than that?

***** 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...
