Recap: Sharan and Ishana meet

Sharma Bhavan : At Balcony

Ishana's POV

I have been staring at the stars for some time now. Don't they say that people become stars after death. If its true then my parents must be watching me now. I miss you amma and appa. I said, hoping that they hear me. Why did you both leave me?
Amma...Appa..I feel alone...

"What are you thinking?" I turned around and came face to face with Varna. She was giving me a full teethed smile. Both his sisters are so sweet, unlike him.

"Nothing dear" I told her with a smile of my own. How can anyone not smile back when one of these girls is smiling? They are so cute and kind hearted.. Complete opposite of their brother.

She nodded. "It's time to sleep Ishudi. Bhaiyya's rules" she said.

"What rules?"

"If you are not studying then you must sleep before ten o'clock." she replied. 

"Okay."

"Don't misunderstand our bhaiyya Ishudi. He cares for us, a lot. He behaved like that only because he is scared." Her face morphed into an expression of worry as she said this. There is worry but there is also pride. Pride in her brother.

"Don't worry. I know that. Let's go angel..sorry, that's your brother's word."

"It's okay Ishudi. You can call us like that too." She replied with a smile.

"Thank you. Varna I wanted to ask if I could get a separate room?" I requested her.

"Are you scared of bhaiyya? Ishudi?" she asked in a shocked tone. My early display of courage might have assured them that I wasn't.

"No. It's just that I am used to sleeping alone" my tone is as polite as I can manage. 

"Ishudi, this is your house. Don't take bhaiyya's words seriously. You are our sister and you can sleep with us. We are family" she tried again.

"It's not about your brother dear. Actually I can understand him and I respect him too. I just need some space to be able to come to terms with my parent's absence in my life."

"Are you sure Ishudi?" I nodded in reply to her question.

"Fine then. If you are being so stubborn then I don't have any choice now do I?" she questioned in a mock angry tone. I shook my head in negative with a playful smile.

After settling in my new room, I spent some time with Varna and Veena before we retired for the night.

Third Person's POV

Sharan was wondering what to do with the situation at home. "We don't even know what type of girl she is, how can we allow her to stay at our house. Sending her to a hostel seems like a viable option" he thought.
