UNBREAKABLE STRINGS

Turmoil

It was almost a quarter of an year since Ruhi and Abhira learnt the truth of relations of blood and heart between them. It was 12 midnight and the start of Abhira's mumma, Ruhi's maasi, Akshara Goenka's birthday.

Abhira was all emotional, wiping her tears off which carried her pain and grief of losing her mom and the precious moments of noodles, love and friendship she shared with her. While her mind carried the storm of questions that what led to her maasi's death that it resulted into her mother's and her departure from their family. She wanted to fight the devils away which caused pain to her mother and her sister, and thus atleast give happiness to her Mumma on her birthday.

Ruhi, who was ought to hate her maasi for the fault she did which turned into a sin. Ruhi remembered Akshara and felt all the anger, grief, sadness, loneliness, longing and abandonment with the sole mention of her name, but did she really hate her ? No. How could she? She definitely reminisces the moments she spent with her. Her pretty baby like face, her sweet heart, her playful nature, her fun scoldings, everything. 6 year old Ruhi who was a princess in her fairytale of her Papa's memories, Poppy, Matashree, Akshara maasi, Abhinav maasa and her best friend, her happiness, her partner in crime, her brother, Abhir, would never have imagined this day where she would have none of the above left in her life, and all coz of a single woman, a single mistake. She obviously loved her, missed her and most of all, questioned her, as to why she did such a mistake which ruined her life, which broke her soul? She felt betrayed. She felt amazed, that the woman who loved everyone, even the people on the streets maybe, the one whose happiness was her family, her kids, her sister, how could she? She remembers telling her B nanu, under intoxication that how much she missed her. But always her grief of loosing her mother, the anger of her maasi's fault overpowered her positive emotions and thus she spoke only bitter, but who knew her soul got the bitterest due to it.
Could she ever move on? Maybe not. And after witnessing her daughter in front of her everyday, never. Daughter. Akshara maasi's daughter. Abhir's lil baby sister. Even she was a daughter. A princess for someone, the prettiest, the dearest to someone, just like Ruhi was .Was it really easy and fair hating and hurting her for something she didn't even know about? No. And she knew it. But could she put her fairness and concern before her miseries? No. But shouldn't she? Yes. But when? Now? No. She won't be able to. But today is the most perfect day. Maybe this is the time. She can never mend her relations with her and be with her like normal sisters do, love and support her like normal sisters do. But she can atleast tell her that she doesn't hate her and is compelled by her emotions to not befriend her even if she wants to.
She let her emotions of longing of her maasi and her concern for her lil sister win and stay and decided to talk to Abhira before she gets trapped in trauma and anger again. She watched over her husband, Rohit, her constant shoulder to rely and cry on, her best friend, her love, her pillar, her happiness, held his hand, the other hand on her belly, feeling the presence of her baby and asked for their support in the toughest move she was about to make.
