The Things That I Left Behind..

Chapter 1

"Leave your past behind.Let the today engulf you for tomorrow is not seen,whether merry or not."

Sara:

"Thank you for choosing Air India.....",the usual bright tone of pilot announced to us that We had reached Mumbai.
I was glad.The mini little Malhotra girl had already told me bye as she went along with her caretaker.She strictly 'restrained from divulging any personal information' as her dad had told.But we laughed and at the end we had almost being friends.
Little joys.
As I got off the plane with my purse and Backpack,I went towards the baggage claim.
Standing there and waiting,it was announced that they are dispatching it.
As soon as I spotted my one small purple suitcase trolley,I picked it and went towards the exit.
But as I was nearing exit,I froze.
This is my first time visit after five years to Mumbai.My parents.My brother.
My phone vibrated making me come back to my surroundings.
It was from Saransh.
"Where r u?Flight reached shown.Where the hell?Oh big baggage.Fine.Waiting.
-Saransh."
I rolled by eyes at my brother's restlessness.He knew customs and everything took time and yet he behaved like an impatient child waiting for his candy.
I had almost laughed at"Where the hell".My brother still seemed to write where instead of what.
I took a deep breath and headed to the exit.
As i scanned the crowd for her own brother but I spotted him as he waved at me.
I dragged my baggage as soon as I could and as soon I  reached him, I hugged him tight.
I almost had tears as i cried,"Bhai".
Saransh cooed to me,"Shh.I am here."And he kept rubbing my head trying to make me calm.
The crowd there "aww" making sounds at us as they saw brother sister reunion.
Finally composing myself,we made ourselves towards his car.
My brother had dark circles beneath his eyes.Clearly showing how much he is trying for our company to make it survive.
As I breathed in the Mumbai's air,I was zoomed back at our past.
My brother must have sensed it because he did not say a word and let me be in my world for some time.
Everything yet nothing had changed.
Especially after that incident.
And from there was our downfall.
We all are waiting for a miracle.A miracle to happen to change our lives.
Don't we always wish for miracles?Yes we do.
Is it wrong that I always keep getting hopes and I finally lose it again.
As I was going on my depression notion,my brother maybe again sensing my mood started the song,"Let it go"From frozen.
It may sound a little girly but my brother actually cried at it.Lets say it is our top secret.
As the song began,it made sense to me.
I must let things go.My past.
But the main question was how?
"It's funny how some distance makes everything small,
The fears that controlled me can't get to me at all."
As I heard these lines,this surely made sense.
I felt much better.
I looked at my brother who was driving silently and maybe thinking about the present situation too.
I suddenly felt bad.
I had been selfish.How could I be hanging in my past due to Tusshar when my own family actually is suffering.
My brother has been going through a lot.
A bad breakup,A struggling company,A ail......Leave it.And now to add to the list is divorced sister.
How bad must it be for him?
I just had a failed relationship.But he has more worries.
I tried to think of something.
"Bhai,is this your favourite car?"
He nodded and smiled.
I slowly said,"Good.Coz I am going to paint it pink."
He looked at me shocked and shouted,"No way!"
"Yes way!"
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Are you clever?"
"No"
I laughed loudly at his statement and as soon as he realized,he glared at me.
I pouted and looked at him to see him smiling.
And we both ended up laughing.
Just like old times.
