"Echoes Of Sisterhood"

Chapter 1:- Akshara Goenka

A beautiful girl is seen running; she sits in a boat and is very happy. The happiness she holds in her eyes is unspoken, and the love she has is extremely beautiful.

"Beta, you look very happy," asked a woman, looking at her huge smile.

"Aunty, today I am going to see my family and lifeline after three years. That's why I am extremely happy," said the girl with a huge smile.

"Looks like your lifeline is very lucky to have you. By the way, who's your lifeline?" asked the lady with amusement.

"My sister, my younger sister Aaru. I love her very much, and so does she." But Akshara was about to say something and stopped in the middle.

"Some talks aren't supposed to be told to others; some basic information is enough. Not all things are meant to be shared. The heart knows that she loves me, but Akshara's insecurities make her worry: has her sister forgotten the past, or does she still hold grudges?" Akshara's mind used to taunt her.

"By the way, what do you and your sister do?" asked the lady with a smile.

"Aunty, my sister is a brilliant doctor, and I am a music therapist," replied Akshara with a smile.

The person who cures others' pain and helps them live a peaceful life is often in pain themselves. The one who takes on others' pain is also the one who is suffering. The silent ignorance from her sister hurts Akshara. If Aarohi showed hatred, it would be fine, but having these silent conversations hurts. Those hurtful eyes of both sisters went unnoticed by their families. They know Akshara and Aarohi have grudges; they don't talk to each other. But did their families, for once, try to bring them together? The air also knows the answer. Aarohi and Akshara know the answer, and it is well known: never.

"Wow, I have reached my destination! It was really nice to meet you, Aunty. I shall leave now," said Akshara with a bright smile.

"Bye, Beta! It was really nice to meet you. May God bless you and your sister with a beautiful life ahead," said the lady with a huge smile.

Akshara was on a cloud night. Hearing this, the only reply that came to her mouth was, "Thank you so much, Aunty. I really needed this blessing. Thank you so much," said Akshara, trying not to show her tears.

She went from there and heard a voice. She knew who it was.

"Akshu!" said the voice with excitement. The essence in the air had its own love.

"Kairav bhaiya!" shouted Akshara as she came in for a hug with him.

"I missed you so, so much," Kairav said, smiling.

"I missed you all very much too," she replied, and she was about to say more but stopped in the middle.

"Akshu, everyone missed you a lot. And the one you missed the most also missed you a lot. I know she will be happy to see you," said Kairav, looking at his sister's disappointed face, which brought a small smile to her face.

The air knew that Akshara Goenka had returned. Her chirpy nature had brought a layer of happiness and energy to the Goenka family. Each and every Goenka was happy to have their elder daughter back and was really happy.

Everyone was present in the hall of Goenka House except for one person. The one Akshara's eyes were searching for was not there. The Goenka House, which echoed with memories and happiness from Akshara's return, had Akshara Goenka standing there, who didn't have any emotions on her face.

"Akshu, here is a cake for you! Come, let's cut it," said Vansh with excitement while approaching.

"But where is Aaru?" asked Akshara, seeking an answer, but her question went unanswered. They all tried their best to avoid the question, but Akshara, being Akshara, wanted to know the answer.

"Akshu, Aaru had an emergency case, so she went to the hospital. She must be returning soon," said Kairav, trying to make it up to her. To be honest, Kairav and all the other family members had no idea where their other daughter was. They thought she must have gone to the hospital, but Akshara's eyes were moist for a second.

Hadn't she forgotten anything? Her mind taunted her.

"Akshu beta, let's now cut the cake," said Manish, diverting her mind.

Cutting a cake when your own sister isn't present hurts; it hurts the most. But from clearly seeing the faces of the family, I am pretty sure that no one knows where Aaru is. She is so angry with me that she doesn't even want to see my face. I have asked only one thing from you, God, and I am going to ask the same thing again: please clear all the misunderstandings between me and Aarohi. Akshara had heavy emotions thinking this, but that was it.

"Akshu beta, cut the cake, na?" asked Mimi happily.

"Mimi, I will cut the cake in the evening when Aaru returns. I will wait for her until tomorrow, but cutting the cake without her? That's not possible," said Akshara, showing her emotions.

Saying this, Akshara departed to her room, and everyone was present in the hall.

"Aaru, Aaru! The whole day Akshara will be doing this only. Can't she be happy without her?" said Manish in anger.

"No, Bade Papa, I can't be happy without her. You are telling me to be happy without my heartbeat. I will be lifeless without her, and you are saying to be away from her. She is my heart, and I need her," said Akshara from upstairs, who heard each and every word.

The whole family was shocked to hear Akshara. They tried their best to divert the topic and were successful, but seeing the tension between the family and Aarohi, Akshara understood one thing: there is a huge reason, and something had happened before she came there. The air was heavy around Akshara. She wanted to see Aarohi but didn't have any idea about her. She called her, and the response was that the ring was still going on.
