I was wrong, so very wrong

I was wrong, so very wrong. I thought things were getting better. But the day I found Advik sleeping in Ahaana's room with Sahil and Suhana, I knew things were far from getting better. Life will never be better without Ahaana in it, especially for these three. With Dadu's declining health, entry of two Siberian huskies so Sahil stays busy to even sit still for a moment, Suhana busy with college and stepping into the new phase of her life--dating Yug; I slowly felt the friendship & love fading from my life. The only good thing was that the elders of the family got back together. Samyak Papa and Rudra Papa sorted out, so did Rudra Papa, Grandpa and Shika Maa.

The families were broken after the doctor said that the age is getting to grandpa and not slowly, the time was chasing him. But for me, the belongingness slowly started to evaporate without the relationship via which I was stepping into the family—Advik. Suhana, Yug and I still made sure to hang out as much as possible but Sahil and Advik, I lost bits and pieces with them each day. I was nearing end of my six year relationship and ten year old friendship with my nemesis.

After Ahaana got admission in the fashion college, Sahil stopped to even stand the conversation mentioning her. After we found out that she has planned to shift to the dorms, moving out of Kashish Aunt's; her families freaked out here but it was Grandpa who made them all understand why it was so important as she spent hours commuting in public transports.

Advik and I started having fights because he hated how I tried to make him understand that what Ahaana did was right. She needed to stand up for herself and I'm proud of her for doing this for herself. He hated it when I showed him the truth behind my words and told him about incidents where she was hiding away from all of them because she needed to breath alone, or keeping alarms to wake up late at night to eat her favourite junk or to just jump on the couch and touch things as she preferred. She would tell me all about what she did the night before and it would break my heart that she cannot do the littlest things as someone is always making sure she's safe.

She hated it. She used to be so angry but she had to keep it in herself, I could see fire burning in her eyes every time Suhana, Sahil or Advik did things for her without letting her try. She loved them to her heart but when they would try to be her 'bubble wraps' it pissed her off.
