Aurora in the sky

Entry 1

May 15th 2006

It happened today, early in the morning. A discovery of sorts, not knowing what the forthcoming time had to bring. My mother called and said that my sister had not talked to her for five days and she was worried. She also asked me if my sister had called me. My sister usually calls my mother every day. She used to call me almost every day but lately, she has stopped.

I haven't talked with my sister for almost two months. I didn't tell my mom that, but I assured her that my sister was fine and I would try and find out what she had been doing.

In my mind, she’d probably been up to some shit and would call me later begging me to get her out of it. Why am I so confident that something like this has happened? Because I have done this many times. And now it doesn't surprise me anymore.

I tried calling her but her phone was out of order. Then two more days passed. I got many calls from Mom telling me that my sister hadn't contacted her and this time I was worried. 

We were close as kids, even if there was a gap of nine years. I confided in her. She knew of things which I was too afraid to tell my parents about. She knew my ins and outs, my secrets, my dilemmas absolutely everything. But as time passed we drifted away. Especially when she started high school.

It's been two months since we last spoke and now it's bothering me. If she is in some kind of trouble and if I am not able to get her out of it both of us are f*cked.

My sister hasn't contacted me yet. So today I decided to call her again and her phone was busy. After about an hour or so my mother called me and told me that my sister had called her.

She told me that my sister was okay and that she couldn't contact my mother or me because her phone was stolen. And she had to buy a new one.

I have my doubts. I don't think that her phone was stolen. I think that's the case because if her phone was stolen then why didn't she borrow the phone from one of her friends? She could have easily contacted using someone's phone. She is hiding something and I am going to find out. Putting me and my parents through such a situation is not acceptable.

Thus began my journey to find something that I never thought I had lost in the first place.

Looking back at what I had written in my diary that day makes me cringe. God, I was so delusional. Firstly let me introduce myself. I am Maya the elder of the two siblings that my parents thought would be a good idea to birth. I am pretty sure that I am the better one among the two of us but my sister thinks otherwise and my mother as well. Don't get me wrong I love my sister but she gets on my nerves and is f*cking annoying sometimes.

Coming back to the panic phone call from my mother and then everything resolving into nothing and then turning into a whole lot more seems like a dream, now that I think of it in retrospect. But I am getting ahead of myself.

One thing is true the phone call did take me down a rabbit hole. And it changed my life...
