A woman was busy cleaning, happily humming a tune When her mobile rang . She removed her gloves . Took the phone from her apron pocket .
'Ah!' She dropped the phone . Her hands were shaking . She stood aghast looking at the mobile which was still ringing showing a handsome boy and name flashed Ash!
She calmed herself . Picking up the call, a very exciting and impatient voice greeted her .
"Sis, Are you really pregnant? Is it true? And It is 3 months already . Sis . . . Sis . . . "
Taking a deep breath she replied, "It's true . "
"I almost didn't believe dad . So would I be an Uncle this young, I am just 21," he complained .
"If there is nothing more, Hang Up"
saying she cut off the phone .
She clenched her hands so hard that nails broke her skin . She closed her eyes and took a deep breath .
She was scared .
Scared of confronting her brother .
It was Ira's brother Ashay, Ash .
Looking outside in the rain, from the window . . .
______
That day had heavy rain too . A woman soaked was wailing so pitifully that it broke hearts of those who heard her voice .
"No, I didn't mean it . "
"I didn't want this . . . Believe me . "
"Dad, believe me . . . Please don't do this to me . "
_______
Ashay, her brother age 21 studying pharmacy at Z University, USA .
She was 28, they had a 7 year age gap .
Ira was always on top throughout her life . A top student, A businesswoman, Her parent's pride . She was hard working, stubborn and diligent . Everyone respected her .
Ash on other hand Lived In The Shadow
of his sister . He was a poor soul always being compared to his outstanding sister .
He became more rebellious sneaking out, partying late at night, drinking and lying about certain aspects of my life . Behaving like a rich playboy heir, born with a silver spoon .
As a result, He spent the majority of his late teens grounded, stuck in his room and without a phone . His parents limited the cash in his hands .
They were close to hiring a parenting counsellor for his behaviour .
He was bad at studies, failing to enter a good college . His Dad through some connections decided to send him abroad for a few years .
That was the only way to remove him from the influence of his friends .
So Ash was sent to the US for studies .
Everything was better . Her Dad kept a watch on him through his friend . Ash attended University sincerely . His grades were constant too .
Ira felt Ash was simply wasting his life when he should be more responsible . She could never understand him, constantly
criticising him and his behaviour .
For him,
she was like a nagging mom telling him to do this or do that .
For her,
he was a disobedient child, a stupid man behaving like a teenager .
___
"Ira Is something wrong?"
Looking at the horror stuck Ira, Viv anxiously asked holding her cold hands .
"I want to go America . " Ira said, still in a daze .
