Ishan came to his room and locked the door harshly and sat on his bed grabbing his head.
"Ahhh , I just hate my life"
The feeling of emptiness took over him .
His gaze fell upon the photo of him and his sister kept on his nightstand. They were smiling and laughing together.
He picked up the frame feeling a pang of longing.
He wished his sister was here with him as before.She would know what to say to make him feel better .
He wished he could turn back time and go back to when the things were simpler.
"Dii I miss you so much"
He embraced the photo near his chest and buried his face in the pillow letting the tears flow . He felt lost, alone , frustrated and angry .
.

The next day Ishan woke up to the sound of alarm clock . He turned it off rubbing his eyes.
He lay in his bed for a moment trying to forget the sadness and frustration .
As he got out of bed he noticed the photo of him and his sister clutched still in his hand.
He gently placed it back on the nightstand caressing the face of his sister.
He began his routine trying to push his thoughts aside.
As he looked in the mirror he couldn't help but notice the freckles on his face , and his mind started to remember shubhman's gaze .
"Why does he keep looking at me?
Do he likes me?
No no what are you thinking Ishan, he is the shubhman gill , the perfectionist , why would he like someone with such a ugly face!?"
Ishan shook away his head trying to clear his thoughts .
"What are you doing ishan you dont have time for this . You need to focus on studies and get away from this toxic life"
He headed downstairs . He saw his parents seated on the dining table having breakfast.
"We need to talk Ishan"
"What is it mother"
He said trying to act neutral
"Your behaviour is unacceptable , and you need to forget her , she is now no one to us "
"She was mine sister and will always be"
Ishan replied with anger
"Stop being stubborn and rebellious learn to respect your elders"
Ishan's mother said
"You cannot always force me to do something I don't want to"
Ishan replied with high tone
"Enough Ishan , lower your voice and we're your parents we know what's better for one's future"
Ishan's father said slamming his fist on table.
"No you don't and if you had then she would have been here with us and we would have been living happily.
He replied angrily and stormed out of the house.
