Chapter 21

"Api, Apiiiiii"

I woke up to the banging on the door. Fara was screaming 'api' and banging the doors. I rubbed my eyes and opened it. I found myself lying on the floor. I didn't know when I slept. I had slept crying last night. I got up from there. But this girl continued screaming.

"Shut your mouth. I'm opening the door." I yelled at her opening the door. She barged into the room pushing me.

"What is this? Is your baby laying at the edge of the bridge?"

"yeah." She said faking a smile. She was wearing salwar and the fact was that she never sleeps without wearing pajamas.

"Where did you sleep yesterday?" I asked and she turned to me and replied

"At my boyfriends."I widened my eyes. "This is what you wanted to hear, right? And by the way where were you?" she raised her brows and smirked "with Hussain?"

"Fara, mind your words."

"Me? I want to mind? Oh sorry, I forgot that elders can do anything and we poor younger can never ask but answer." She said and turned away.

"Are you out of your mind?" I said turning her to face me.

"Yeah obviously. How can I not be out? A whole day filled with quarrels and shouts and without peace. So obviously I'll be out of my mind." She wiped tears on her face "And you? Without any shouts of them you were enjoying the day with Hussain. And don't try to defend yourself, because I saw you coming out of his car. Didn't he drop you here?"

It was one of the moments I think,

Is she elder?

I was emotion. She was suffering but I did too. She thinks that I was enjoying....

"You didn't eat anything??" I asked her sadly and kept my hands on her shoulder.

Suddenly she hugged me and said crying "I'm sorry". I hugged her back and cried. We stood there for a few minutes. She told her pain and was crying a lot. I allowed her to cry because tears release pain. Otherwise it suffocates and kills us many times. I wiped her tears and asked her to smile. She smiled to me and hugged saying "You are the best sister."

"Yeah I know" I said with smug and we laughed together. This was what sisters were for. To share pain, to laugh to tease, to irritate...

"So where were you rushing?" I said

"I want to go for shopping, to buy materials for my art class. By the way, will you come with me for shopping?"

"Sorry" I said.

"Please. If you don't come then dad will not allow me to go. Please. I don't know why but these days dad is fully in bad mood." She said making puppy face. Oh my god everyone knows my soft spot and try it. Show me puppy face I'll never say no to you.

"Okay. But when are we going?"

"Now"

"Now?? No early morning shopping not possible."

"Yeah but its 11 am. Soon to be noon. So yes shopping."

"I didn't have my breakfast. Did you??" I asked her narrowing my eyes.

"No, I didn't." she said looking down and then she raised her head with a smile.

"I have an idea. We can have breakfast at café."
