Meant For You - Predestined

The Blame

Sometimes it's okay to fall weak..
Sometimes it's okay to cry out loud..
It's important to let out your emotions..
Staying strong always can weaken you from inside..
Yes there is silence before the storm..
But there is also silence after the storm..
Bright morning may give you new hopes..
But rains brings happiness in life..

Inaraah was sitting in the balcony gazing the sky. The weather was little cloudy and seem it would pour out any minute. Serenity engulfed her after her breakdown last night. Alhaan joined her and took a seat next to her. She didn't look at him and continued to look forward.

"No matter how broken I am, your presence always brings tranquillity." Inaraah spoke breaking the silence.

Alhaan looked at her waiting for her to look at him. Finally Inaraah shifted her gaze on him, her eyes holding the un-shed tears.

"That day in park. It.. It was our birthday. I wanted to stay alone but I was wishing for someone's comfort.

And then you came there. Though we didn't speak much but your presence lessen my pain that day." Inaraah said smiling weakly. A lone tear escaped from her left eye. Alhaan wiped her tear and wrapped his arm around her securing her in his arms.

"What about your dream to be an interior designer?" Alhaan questioned. Inaraah took a sharp intake of breath before speaking.

"I always wanted to be an interior designer and Iza loved graphic designing. He was very passionate about it.

After his death, I was not myself. I felt as if my life had no meaning. At that time it was Izaad's dream which motivated me. And I decided to fulfil his wish."

"Can I say something Inaraah?" Alhaan asked not sure about her answer. Inaraah broke the hug and looked at Alhaan. He seemed little hesitant to speak. Inaraah took his hand in hers encouraging him to speak.

"You let go of your passion to fulfil Izaad's dream. Somewhere you wanted to keep him alive and you even succeeded in doing so.

Though Izaad isn't here but he would surely be happy looking at your dedication. But he would be equally hurt too, seeing you crying.

I know his death was a biggest blow for you and our family. But we can't change the destiny. Instead of crying for the loss, pray for him.

I am sure he would never like to see the present Inaraah who forgot to smile wholeheartedly. In your attempt to keep him alive you have killed Izaad's twinu whom he loved dearly." Alhaan said.

His words brought fresh set of tears in her eyes. She knew she wasn't the previous Inaraah anymore but Alhaan's words had a great impact on her. She was trying to fulfil her brother's dream without realizing that she changed herself.

Alhaan was right. If Izaad was here, he would be surely hurt seeing his sister. The Inaraah he knew was chirpy and naughty. She was bold and spoke fearlessly. But this present Inaraah is nowhere close to his twinu.

"I know it's hard for you to be back to your previous self but you can try for it. You forgot our whole family in your pain.

Even they endured the same pain as you but they stayed strong and hold onto each other. But you have pushed everyone away from you not allowing them to be a part of your pain." Alhaan spoke his heart out.

He wanted to explain this to her from a very long time but he wanted to know the reason of her pain. Last night he saw her in the most vulnerable state. The only thought in his mind was to hold her tightly in his arms and take away her pain.
