After a long, tiring  day,  Vrinda  reached  her sweet  home at 7. She got refreshed  and  started  preparing  dinner.  When  she was sautéing  the vegetables,  she was  interrupted  by the continuous ringing  for her calling bell. She knew the person  was none other than her cousin  Lakshya.  

Lakshya  is a bubbly girl and fun-loving .  She is the only person  who  didn't judge  Vrinda or treated her as a culprit when everyone around  saw her(Vrinda) as a stroke of bad luck. 

Lakshya  came with her books and started  conversations with her regarding her new classes , medical  camps, and so on. These two individuals  are  inseparable.  The loneliness  in their life can't be eliminated  completely, but the feeling that one is there for others  to share their gossip,  stress, and  happiness  gives a little  comfort  in life. 

They had their  dinner  in peace and were to bid  their good nights. But , Lakshya filled  her ears with news, which left her  shocked  and surprised at the same time. It took some time for Vrinda  to  sink in the new information  she received. 

Vrinda 's Pov:-

"Why is he coming  all of a sudden to India?  He stayed in the US  for many years  and  also started  working  there. I thought  he would settle  there itself.  But what made him return  to  India  and continue  the family  business.  I mean, Govind uncle  is  looking after everything, then why this sudden decision out of the blue. Maybe he felt responsible  as Govind uncle is getting  old, and Lakshya also misses him. " my heart says. 

"Oh ... you are  not in a condition  to solve any puzzle. Just let the things happen  as its own." My brain mocked. 

It's been years since I  have seen him . Everyone misses him. I am no exception.  He was my friend,  my tutor, my playmate. I used to spend all my time with him when I was a kid. But everything  changed  after the tragic accident.  

I not only lost my parents but my love. My bava. You may think when we are kids, what do we know about love? But when you grow up and attain a certain age, the feeling of missing  someone  who is  close to you and wishing for that person's well-being is love. My love for him is selfless.  

Ours is a joint family. My dad, mom,  Amma Amma,  Atthyya, and Mavayya . I am the only kid to my parents, and  Atthyya - Mavayya  are blessed to have Arjun  and Lakshya.  We all lost our parents, and Grandma is now our only family.  I knew I was at fault  when that accident  happened.  I should not run for a stupid doll . But I was a kid then. Everyone blamed me for our misfortune.  Bava didn't  speak  anything  at that time, but the hatred in his eyes for me, where I am  the reason for  the loss of his  parents, is evident.  I was a kid, but I understood  his emotions. I never felt bad when everyone  blamed me for the accident  because  they were not related  to  me. But when he spoke nothing  and stayed mute, I  was broken and hurt. I have no one left . So I made up my mind to maintain  my distance  from  him. I don't want  to  be  an obstruction in his  life. I never spoke to him, but my prayers will always continue for his well-being.  

But after so many years, why is God making us cross our paths.? What is planned in our destiny ?. 

Oh! God, are you planning  to make him hate me more? Or are you planning  to snatch the person  who is close to me once again?. 

I am already tired of losing everyone in my life. Please  have mercy  on me. Make them stay safe and take my life away if you have to save them. " 

Tears rolled her eyes, thinking of  the uncertainties  in life, and went into a deep slumber unaware  of her.
