In the quiet corners of Arun's heart lay a memory that had defined his childhood,

 a memory of deep loss and the unwavering support of his beloved sister, Aadhya. 

It was a memory that continued to resonate with him, even as the years passed.

---

The world had turned gray the day their mother left them.

 Arun and Aadhya, still children, stood at the threshold of their home, clutching each other's hands as they watched the somber procession of mourners pay their respects. 

Their mother had been the anchor of their lives, the soothing presence that had made even the darkest days seem brighter.

As the rituals of farewell continued, Arun couldn't hold back his tears.

 The weight of grief pressed upon his small shoulders, threatening to overwhelm him. 

He had always been the sensitive one,

 the one who wore his heart on his sleeve.

 Aadhya, on the other hand, had always been his rock, his protector.

Arun felt a gentle hand on his shoulder,

 and he turned to find his sister's warm and tearful eyes. 

She didn't say a word but held out her arms, silently inviting him into her embrace.

 Arun buried his face in her shoulder, sobbing uncontrollably.

Aadhya's embrace was a haven of comfort.

 In that moment, she absorbed his pain, offering solace without words.

 Her presence was a testament to their unbreakable bond, a bond that went beyond the roles of siblings.

 She was not just his sister; she was his guiding light.

As they clung to each other, Aadhya whispered soothing words,

 sharing her own grief and reminding Arun that they were not alone in their sorrow. 

She told him stories of their mother's love, stories that made them both smile through their tears.

Days turned into weeks, and the world outside continued to move forward, but Arun and Aadhya remained bound by their shared loss.

 They faced the challenges of life together, navigating the complexities of grief hand in hand.

 Aadhya became not just his sister but also his confidante, the one who understood his pain without judgment.

That memory of their mother's funeral was etched in Arun's heart as a testament to his sister's unwavering support. 

It was a memory of tears and sorrow, but it was also a memory of the resilience of sibling love.

 Through it all, Aadhya had been his anchor, helping him find his way in a world that had suddenly become darker.
