Soft light illuminates the polished surface of the dining table. Everyone took their seats drastically minding to sit near their company. A gentle conversation was running through various corners of the table. The dining table held a beautiful display of nature's artistry. Every petal of every flower was fresh and filled with fragrance. Adding to it were the candles casting a warm effect at the place. Silent talks and gestures were shared among them. Laughs and long held stories were now mingled together.

This place, where I stood had probably that amount of plants than I'd ever imagined. There was a bar counter and few counter stools. I was alone here because everyone were at the dining area. I was not hungry nor I was full with food, I just needed a nice cold coffee at this warm night.

I was in my sleep set as I'd just came here from room and everyone would probably be still in that heavy Karva Chauth dress, well I couldn't handle some clothes which are uncomfortable. I asked for one Frappé to the bartender. I was checking through my phone about some messages and notifications when I was saw one was from Aadhya. I opened it.

Di, today 10p.m I'll come to your room to talk about something.

I was confused. Since today morning her behaviour was very unusual, her voice was filled with panic and she was trembling with fear. She called me but I was busy driving the car. Why do I feel like something bad is going to happen? Something very unusual is happening in my heart. Like some chaos which is unreadable, like a past which I never want to witness or a future that scares me when I think about it.

I'm feeling like I'm not giving enough love to my family members and my siblings. Its like between work and family, I chose work. Its like I am fading away from this world and I'm not lovable, not worthy of love. I don't need attention in the name of love, I just want they are comfortable near me. I just want that I'm a worthy member in the family. I overthink about things but that's not the point, some of them really occured in my life and that's what horrifying me a lot.

At that time too, when Nir were on his hospital bed, I tried to calm my heart and brain not too overthink much, not to cry but I failed. I failed in every field of my life.

That stormy horrifying night, thunder stricken almost covered the sky and that heavy rainfall's creepy memory is still hiding in some corner of my heart. I was crying helplessly but no one was there, even in between many people none feel like home to me. To one I could share my thoughts and someone who would give a shoulder to me. I was just a little girl whose brother was lying in bed with those painful scars.

I was crying, yelling at almost every bodyguard but none comforted me and why would they ? They were just strangers who were paid with money to protect us. Nir never noticed their emotions, their feelings, their worry about their family then why would they worry about me ? But what was my fault ? I was alone, completely alone, with no one to even care about my emotions.

The world which I dreamt of once was completely shattered into pieces. On the morning of my last birthday with mom and dad, I prayed to Shri Madhav to keep my family always safe, to keep them happy, to keep them mine but my wishes were too late to reach him. I still remember that evening when I lost my parents and that day every figure settling in front of me was like a nightmare. Their words were piercing my throat, asking infinite questions at a time when the thing I most needed was emotional, physical and social support. My mind was blank trying to search for some answers to their questions and my other side was still trying to fight with reality.
