Sakshi's POV.....

I walked into the cafe towards the table number 7. I can see a girl, back facing me in a yellow dress.

I stopped in front of her, sensing my presence she looked at me and smiled.

Neela:"Akka

Neela:"Akka....."

She got up and hugged me which I returned hesitantly.

Neela:"You were still looking the same."

Sakshi:"I can say the same for you.....but now looking a little matured." I smiled and said. It's true.....I can see the same Neela I played with in childhood but in an adult version.

Neela:"How are you, Akka?"

Sakshi:"I am fine.....you?"

Neela:"Good....."

We first ordered something. Neela ordered some fries and chocolate shake which made me cringe making her smile.

Neela:"I see.....still the same chocolate hater."

I smiled and shook my head. Will everyone feels the same awkwardness while talking to their long lost cousin? Today I am finding difficult to find words. What to say.....

Sakshi:"How is Pinni(Mother's younger sister)?"

I saw her smile vanish and a sadness took over it.

Neela:"She is no more....." she answered with unshed tears.

Sakshi:"What?" I tried not to cry as people are already staring at us. "How?"

Neela:"Heart Attack....."

I lowered my head.....she loved me so much. The only genuine person I know after my grandmother.

Sakshi:"What happened?"

Neela:"She died of heart attack. I was studying in hyderabad when I got the news. When mom was alive she tried a lot to find about you and thought of taking your responsibility. But no one knows where you are she tried to ask Uncles but no use. You know about them right?"
