A couple was sitting under a tree watching sunset, she lay her head on his shoulder, he caressed her soft hair and kissed her crown lovingly. she slowly raised her head and give peck on his left cheek and kept her face in the crook of his neck making him chuckle, she playfully hit him on shoulders and he caught her fist, making her look into his eyes and she lost herself once again just by looking those beautiful blue eyes and he slowly leaned in and she closed her eyes, she felt water droplets on her face before she could think what happened, she felt like pushed into the pool.

I started screaming, ahhhhhhhhhhh opened my eyes and there was my sister, Shivani,  smirking at me. That's when I noticed that I was fully drenched.


I gave her best glare, but she crossed her arms and raised her right eyebrow!
Shivani  asked why were you laughing like a mad woman while sleeping? I asked why did you do this? moving my hand up and down.
That’s not answer for my question said shivaani.  with a sigh I told that it’s nothing and didn’t remember anything after the way you woke me up.

She Whispered softly you can share anything with me, I know we are sisters but we were like friends right. I hugged her and quickly told everything, releasing myself from the hug.
Shivani started laughing and said it’s so flimsy and stop reading those romantic novels.I threw a pillow at her but she ducked at the perfect time and that pillow landed directly on mom's face. Oh no!

We looked at each other and burst into a series of laughter, mom caught our ears and twisted, me and shivani hugged Mom tightly and started saying sorry and Mom too hugged us then told to get ready fast and come down to have breakfast.

At the dining table…..

Mom,Dad ……I think someone was smiling while sleeping my sweet sister started ughhh I feel like hitting her.

Again she started to blabber something but I kicked her under the table making her groan in pain, well I didn’t kick that much, such a drama queen.

Mom entered with dishes in her hand and I helped her arrange them, after that we settled and started having breakfast.

Mom asked why I was drenched. I asked her to help through the eyes.
Shivani said that we were just playing making Dad shake his head at their childish antics.

It was a tiring day for shivani, she opened the door, stepped into the living room, threw a handbag and coat and finally crashed on the sofa.

Zaha came and offered her a glass of water, Shivaani couldn't believe what's going on with that little brain of zaha.
Zaha shrugged her shoulders and kept her infamous innocent look. Later Cihtra also came and joined the girls and asked about shivaani’s work and zaha’s college after they had dinner and retired to their rooms.

Shivani was about to step inside her room, zaha dragged shivani to her room and locked the door. Shivaani knew that her little sister was up to something and about to ask her a voice interrupted making her eyes open wide.

Grandma what are you doing here I thought you were sleeping asked shivaani making the older woman to laugh sheepishly.

Shivani controlled her amusing smile and asked zaha what’s going on . Maha Lakshmi (grandma) said that they wanted her help and made shivani narrow her eyes at zaha.
Zaha said I wanted to do my higher studies abroad and I need your help to convince Dad and Mom.

zaha I respect your decision but how and where will you stay there? That is too lonely? Your safety is important for us.

I did the entrance exam online and I got amazing marks and as for staying I can stay at a hostel, please you are my favourite right? Just help me. I will be your panipuri sponsor for one week, said zaha.

Be serious! zaha said shivani.
Please shivaani, it's my dream to do my MBA at England University and I want to be independent like you. You know how hard I worked so far to come here told zaha, at the verge of crying.

Hmmm.. ok I will help you but if they don’t agree, promise me that you will not do your so-called hunger strike and the ladies in the room burst out laughing.

Maha Lakshmi playfully said to her grandchildren that  if not you asked for my presence I would have been romancing with my husband in my dreams and you spoiled that said in her fake angry tone.

zaha came to her grandma and hugged and said it’s ok we can watch movies together or can watch the Can yaman series. Is that ok for you grandma?
That’s like my girl told the older women grinning widely.
Shivani cleared her throat and kept her face sadly and asked that’s it, you guys don’t need me anymore.

zaha rolled her eyes and grandma muttered what a great acting.
Before they could start their drama again zaha said I know you must be tired, that's why I didn’t ask you….now come on go to your room and have sweet dreams we will have our sister’s night on coming Sunday okay? I whispered that last part slowly. 

Planning without me? asked grandma to which we giggled and shook our heads.
Later shivani went to her room and before that she hugged zaha and said everything will be okay, don't get stressed out and enjoy your movie night. I too hugged her tightly and nodded my head.

After that, we started our movie night,  grandma slept before we could finish a episode. I covered granny properly and started to think about how to convince them.

Uff….  It's going to be a tough one
But she has big support and she knows they will agree to send her abroad. That big support is none other than her big sister the Shivani. She knows that she has to be confident and strong but again it is a big thing even if she talks for a day about that they won’t even consider changing the decision.
