The Wall Between Us

Alter ego

Riya and I are almost alter ego of each other although we are just friends but one can't find the difference in us unless that point arrives at our faces.

We are cousins by relation and lives just close to each other, our house is one but there's a long hard wall between the house, it starts from the main entrance.

One side of entrance goes with our house and others with Riya's.

We always meet each other by removing a brick from one side of the wall and that's the only secret between both of us. Only we know which brick is removable.

As the close struck 1 am.

We come out of our respective rooms and then we chat for approx an hour.

Discuss everything held today what we did what is next days planning. What are we going to wear, etc

It was a lot fun in our childhood when we used to live together .

That time the whole house used to cheer and smile. If There would a single function also being held then our family never let their feet to show some moves.

For every mistake done by me, Riya was expected, culprit.

I used to pour oil in the hookah and Riya was scolded every time.

Riya used to hide Granny's specs and was scolded.

For every dress bought for me, Riya too got one of same color and designs.

We almost had the same room decore, same curtain colours, same designed bedsheets, same desks, same sandals, sneakers, accessories, etc. Almost everything was the same for us.

She was not just a sister but just like my carbon copy.

We had the same habits, same likings, same disliking, same feelings the same wishes. Actually we both wished to be a fashion designer. And had planned everything for that from scoring same in 12th boards to selecting the same college and same section everything was decided.

12th over got admitted to the favourite college.

Everywhere the smile and love of all was evenly seen unless a hard storm hit our lovely family.

We were back from the college procedure which took almost 5 pm in eve,.

And was shocked to see that our families are standing a wall in between the house.

What was that being held it was our house why were they planting a wall in between.

Both Riya and I had held our hands when our mummy's arrived and pulled our hand towards themselves, we got United.

After 3 hours we got gut to ask about the matter and got to know as I am bit unfair than Riya in colour so the family which had arrived to see me selected Riya as their daughter in law.

And yesterday when they told this to the family they went mad as I'm elder and that family chose my younger sister.

I wonder why in this era too people give importance to colour and money and not the feelings and emotions.

That family came for a day and United our family for years.

I wonder when will this family unite and I'll again cuddle my other family members and cry in their lap it's been years now cuddling them and chatting teasing them.

I wish soon this wall to break so we could be one again
