My sister.... My Other Half.....

My sister.... My Other Half.....

Chaos all over, midnight....

Woke up startled, in dim light...

All uttering softly, I felt fright...

Dad came by, hugged me tight...

Lullabies for me to sleep overnight...

It was morning, that too blight...

Can't find mom, again I fright...

Dad smiled, it felt like sunlight...

Gave me a ride, asked to clutch tight...

Holding my hand, without losing sight...

There I saw mom, so pale and white...

Beside her, something, brought to light...

I ran to her, she smiled a bite...

Told me, she is your sister, twite...

My face gleamed with joy, so bright...

I danced with so much delight...

Getting a sister was a treasure chest, said my insight...

I got a sister to play with, I got a doll to dress her up like "my" doll. Having a sister was like everything to me. She was the one I would play, fight, eat with. It was like I got a friend for a life time who stays with me like forever. Days mostly spent fighting, teasing, shouting, annoying each other and nights would be like seeing her innocent face, so impeccable, that I used to wonder, God... Is this truly the one who is a Beelzebub for the entire day. Thinking and laughing to myself and a goodnight kiss to her to make a happy ending for a day. We used to fight like there would be no foe like us in the world and were so much in sync like tuned up for eternity. We used to chum up with each other.
But... doom has its own convening for us. Fate tore us apart like forever. A gruesome hap gave her a ticket that took her directly to God.

  "And I was left devastated...
      It wasn't what I anticipated...
            The way, so hotfooted, she departed...
                  It was a complete disaster to me..."

Its been so many years, but yet feels like yesterday. Just yesterday, we used to go to school, tuitions and moreover everywhere together. Just yesterday, but now I m left alone. Just alone to walk the path of life, all alone.
Dear God, why you took her so early, I had a huge list of things to do with her, in her company. We would have laughed our hearts out, she wouldn't have had to leave me just because it was getting late. As my friends come and have to leave. We would have enjoyed road trips together. All this sounds so perfect. That's what sisters do, right?? When she had to choose dress for farewell or any occasion I would have helped her and vice versa. That's the most sisters love to do, right?? We would have exchanged our damn crazy stories and would have laughed over them insanely, that's what sisters are quite good at, right??
Do you know God, this is the year in which she would have graduated.... Graduation.... Wow!!!! How excited she would have been. I wonder what stream she would have chosen.
All these years there would have been so many crazy stories we would have written together. But its all I can imagine, when I step out of the myst of imagination, its all reality, empty, lonesome. I have missed so much fun all because you had your own decisions. I'm not questioning your plans and decisions, You are Almighty and I stand in no position to judge your verdicts but still..... You know I'm just saying, I hope you understand. God, all I want to say is I miss her, I seriously and immensely do.
At this flank of life, I need her, want her to be right by my side, I don't know but I'm missing her dementedly, so I thought of telling you all this. Tell her I miss her and of course I love her so very much.
