UNDERSTANDING FAMILY

Urmila tightens her grip on the bed, taking some amount of bedsheet into her fist. She is shivering, her face seems to be sad and worried, her thoughts seems to be scary. She is being restless plus puzzled, sitting quietly on the bed in her room, after whatever she has witnessed in the terrace for Siya. 

The girls are aware about their sister's ongoing medical phase, they are aware about Siya's anxiety, about her emotional trauma about Siya's fears too. But witnessing something like this for the first time in front of their eyes gave the girls some bitter experience. Siya was not like that, they have never ever witnessed their sister in these fears. Always standing like a protective shield for her sisters, Siya is being always strong and confident. And now, witnessing that loosing confidence from Siya, Urmila is not ready to accept those things. Although Siya is not alone, her whole family especially Ram is there by her side, still the girls feels scared and worried for her, for her state and condition. 

Urmila closed her eyes, with a heavy sigh being released from her mouth. At a sudden those incidents, which she wanted to never happen in their life, made flashbacks in front of her sight. The same dreadful day when Siya was kidnapped, when her sister was taken away from her by those two people, that day came into her memory. How she wished she could protect her sister, how she wished that the two people never took Siya with them, how she wished to erase all the pains from Siya's life, how she wished to be the same protective shield for Siya, Urmila breaks into silent tears. The painful tears started moving down her cheeks and she hissed with that pain. 

Urmila downcast her head and she tightens the grip more on the bed, burying her nails into the sheet. The warmth she needed at that time was felt by her when she felt a touch on her head. She knows the touch, the person she wanted at that time the most. Without opening her moist eyes, Urmila wrapped her arms around Lakshman's waist by pulling him closer to her. Lakshman stood in front of her, giving her whole time to get relaxed. He started caressing her head softly allowing her to pour her heart and Urmila keep on crying more. 

URMILA- dii doesn't deserve this Laksh... She... Don't... 

Urmila hissed in between her cries and Lakshman ruffle his hand in between her hair, in a touch to calm her. 

URMILA- why we are being so useless for her.? Why we are not able to do anything for dii.?

Lakshman closed his eyes feeling that pain in her question. They are helpless in this situation, the only thing they can do is to be with Siya and that they are doing. 

Urmila wipes her tears from her cheeks and from her both the eyes. She uplifts her face to look at him and found his eyes to be moist too. Lakshman placed his hands on her cheeks with a light blink of his eyes and Urmila placed her hands on his hands. 

URMILA- dii sachme theek hai na Laksh.? 

Urmila wanted to read his eyes, if he is hiding something from her. And Lakshman gave that assurance to her, he confidently nods his head positively.

LAKSHMAN- when we all are there with her, then why bhabhi will not be fine.?

Urmila again got those tears in her eyes, she lightly shook her head sideways while removing his hands from her face.

URMILA- you are lying. I have seen her condition Laksh, she is not good.

Her contrary words didn't made Lakshman to feel irritated, rather he is worried for her now. He got down beside her, placing his hand on her lap to gain her attention.
