Everything Was Fine Until...

...until his shattered life

Myra couldn't sleep after witnessing the series of events that unfolded in the evening. Amy was the cool headed one always. She never lost her temper. Even if she did, Myra had never seen her this angry, scared, nervous and disappointed.

Myra was tossing and turning, not being able to sleep. She was so tired when she was in the train and at that time, she wanted nothing but to sleep on her bed. But, now it's as if sleep has left her system.

Giving up she got up from her bed and walked towards her room's balcony. She opened the door leading to the balcony and stood there in the fresh air. She knew she needed fresh air. No amount of effort would help her sleep.

Myra took in the surrounding and saw all the houses decorated with fairy lights and diyas. Her balcony was no different.

Flashes of the evening incident keep coming to her mind. She was flabbergasted at today's events.

Just when she started thinking that everything was fine, just then an incident like this had to happen.

She knew that Amy was impulsive and was sometimes childish and had her own Amy's type of humour, but today's incident was different. She was introducing her family to Dhruv's father and she suddenly exploded.

"I said take all your bags and get inside! THIS INSTANT!" Myra was shocked at this statement.

She knew that something really set off Amy. So, she hurriedly picked up her bags and shot a glance at Dhruv. Dhruv was looking shocked, she didn't want to spare a glance at Dhruv's father. She felt embarrassed by the situation and quickly got inside the house.

After a few minutes Amy marched off towards the house furiously. She was holding her tears back and did not spare anyone a glance. She went inside her room and did not forget to shut the door with a loud bang.

During dinner, Myra tried asking Dee questions, but her answers were too vague for Myra to come to any conclusion.

"You know she's always like this, throwing tantrums." Dee said avoiding Myra's eyes.

"Yeah, but this time it was different."

"She's probably worried about the upcoming Diner's opening. Nothing else."

"But-"

"Myra you should not concern yourself with this matter. Just focus on your studies, okay?" Dee cut off her sternly.

Seeing Myra's fallen face, her eyes softened, "Myra you must be tired from all the traveling, why don't you go and rest? I will take care of the dishes and Amy too, okay?" Dee said softly.

Myra nodded half heartedly and went to her room, but she couldn't sleep so she came downstairs, thinking how Amy didn't eat her dinner. She thought of serving Amy dinner in her room, so she decided to go to the kitchen.

Amy refused to eat or talk to anyone. She had confined herself in her room, after her sudden outburst of rage.

Myra climbed down the stairs and walked towards the kitchen. She saw Dee leaning on the shelf with her back towards Myra. Myra quickly sprinted towards Dee and placed her hand over her shoulder.

Dee was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't hear Myra coming, Myra's hand on her shoulder broke her chain of thoughts.

Dee flinched and turned towards Myra, her eyes were wide and mouth slightly open.

Soon she composed herself and said, "Myra, is something the matter dear? Are you not able to sleep? Clearly, you're not. That's why you're down here. Hungry?", Dee bombarded her with questions.
