Sister's Gone

Chapter 1

The date was fixed and the day was announced. Soon Skriti will leave Sirsha and go to her in-laws house. As their mother unfolded the packet of sweets and fed one to Skriti's mother-in-law, Sirsha just gasped at the scene. She knew that this had to happen one day or the other but she never imagined it would happen so soon. She just had a month's time and then her life would completely be a different one without her sister.

She looked at Skriti who was already staring at her fiancee. She was smiling. Her happiness was reflecting in her eyes. Sirsha who was supposed to be happy at her sister's happiness had tears in her eyes. She had the feeling of negligence. As if her sister does not mind leaving her all alone after her marriage ; she has become selfish maybe. It made her realize that her sister is going to leave her soon-- she is going to be someone's priority.

With teary eyes Sirsha left the hall and rushed towards her room. She locked herself up in her room and stood in front of the mirror. She could feel hot tears rolling down her cheeks. She didn't really know why she was crying. Afterall she knew that this was bound to happen one day.

She laid in her bed burying her head in the pillow for hours pondering over things that were going around her. She still could not believe that her sister is just a guest for a month in their house. Sirsha tried hard to make herself understand the gravity of the situation. She tried to console herself and stop the flow of her tears. It was not like she was possessive about her sister but its just that she loved her the most. They both are each other's strength.

Sirsha was recalling that day when Skriti got the job of an air hostess in Spice Jet airlines. Sirsha was the first person to whom Skriti gave this good news to. Both were jumping and yelling over the phone out of glee.

"Huh! I already knew you would get this job" Sirsha smirked while saying.

"Oh hello! Weren't you the one who challenged me that I will never get this job? Rather I will be given the job of a sweeper?" Skriti replied with a smirk too.

"I don't remember telling you anything as such." Sirsha answered trying to change the topic.

"Yes you won't remember it now darling because I already won the challenge" Skriti answered still smirking.

"Whatever it is, I want my treat right now!"

"Treat? For what? For losing the challenge?" Skriti laughed.

"Shut up you moron! You better give me a treat or else I am hanging up the phone" Sirsha disgusted.

"I was just kidding you idiot. But if you still don't wanna talk to me then I think I have to cancel the plan of Snowballs." Skriti acting sad.

"Hey!Are you the only one who knows how to joke?" Sirsha rebuking. Afterall she cannot afford to miss an ice cream treat.

Sirsha was unaware when her lips stretched a smile on her face while remembering those conversations. They prank each other so much! They just thought they were having fun. Little did they know that they were making memories!

Sirsha was dragged out of her hazy self when she heard someone knocking at the door. She got up from her bed debating who it can be. She opened the door to find a very familiar figure in front of her.
