Sista, I Love You

Don't touch my toy,

Don't touch my bag, yes even that pencil box of mine.

My Amma, presented me those and it's only mine!!

Said, Krishna.

---

Well, it was loud and clear, even a deaf Man, can hear these, thought, little Shubhangi,

Almond shaped eyes, were welling with tears. Her hands just reached her face, by then Appa had wiped them with his T-shirt. And Amma was holding her shoulders, comforting little Shubhangi, same, like the 5 years back when she was brought from an adoption home. She is 8 years and Krishna has still not accepted her, but for her Amma, Appa, grand parents, Jingu the cat and Sheru, a German shepherd who whole heartedly consider her, as a part of them.

Infact, Jingu and buddy were also left behind by their parents, hence a special corner for them.

But, Jingu and Sheru have accepted each other as a sibling,

Why is Krishna avoiding me, she always asked her parents, Ram and Sita.

--------

5 years back, Krishna was excited that he is going to be, an older brother soon, he was 7 years then. He distributed chocolates to all, only to learn that it was a stillborn. He thought, his unconditional love for the lil one in the womb was the reason, and promised, not to love his future sibling.

For Ram Sita, Krishna's silence and the loss of the little Ray was depressing them, and thought of adopting a child, and they did.

Shubhangi wiping her tears, said,

Krishna Anna, you can have all your toys, yes, Your Amma gave you them.

Also Amma Appa, grand parents are only yours from today.

No more, I would disturb you, I am sorry.

Today I plan to, go back to the place I came from, so that, Amma Appa's love is not divided.

Since I don't have money, I wish to gift Jingu and Sheru to you.

And Shubhangi, started packing her bag.

A sudden, loud cry..

Yes, it was Krishna

He hugged her tight and cried like a baby, and said,

"Shubhangi, I love you to the moon and back, I have been scared of losing you. I can't bear this loss. Come take, all my toys, pencil box and Amma Appa also, Sista!"
