After reaching home.. opening the apartment door slowly.. I called taeshi.. as my heart is racing.. why did grandma call me.. is he okay.. she didn't say me anything in call.. she just said me to come back as soon as possible.. I just hope he is fine.. I call him again getting no reply.. I think.. he is with grandma.. I should call grandma.. I sigh she can't hear me from this far.. I make my way towards next door.. I knock on the door.. but again no response.. what's
happening.. I am scared.. first of all she call me here hurriedly and now when I am here I can't find any of them and now grandma is not opening the door.. I knock again this time a little hard.. again no response.. I called her.. no response.. not understanding anything I was about to knock again but as I was about to knock.. but.. the door opened itself.. I sigh I think I am so tried.. that I didn't even realize that the door was open from the beginning.. I sigh slowly opening the door I enter inside.. why it is so quite here.. I call her again.. but again no reply.. I think that she is outside with taeshi.. ya of course he was quite well morning.. I think I am thinking too much.. maybe she called me because he is fine and maybe now he can walk around.. as he was mostly taking rest on bed these days.. ya she is outside with him maybe she took him for walk.. I thought as I know how naughty taeshi is.. I think I should just wait a little while.. till she comes back.. I was about to make my way outside..but..the door closed making a tug sound.. I stood there not moving an inch.. why did the door get closed.. I can't even see.. nor I am hearing any noise here.. who is here.. it's scaring me..
Myra : " W- who i-is here " I said hoping to get a reply.. but no again silence..
Myra : " who is he-re.. grandma.. taeshi.." I said gathering some strength.. tring my best.. not to shutter..
I was about to run towards the door.. but i tripled.. what's happening with me..i tripled as I am not much familiar with grandma's house.. as I rarely come here.. I don't remember the last time i came here.. as usually she comes to visit me.. now it's not about that to think I need to get out of here first.. I can't help myself with my blindness.. and i don't know where the switch is.. I know that i can't see.. properly.. but atleast wherever I am around something shinning.. or near light then it gives me hope.. convincing me that i am not completely blind.. I can see little blurry things.. blurry but i can atleast see.. it is better than complete darkness around me.. standing up.. extending my hand touching things.. I try to find something or atleast switch.. so I can on the light.. but what are these.. something's here around me.. near my foot.. as I was moving I felt something.. what are these I bend down and pick it up.. touching and smelling it.. realizing that these are the petals.. rose petals.. but why rose petals are here I remember as I entered and tripled here.. it wasn't here then now..these petals are all over me.. is someone throwing petals on me.. but i am alone here..
I felt something on my foot.. it's something soft.. I slowly bend down touch it.. it's.. it's taeshi..i call him.. he bark at me.. not thinking about anything I hug him tightly.. taeshi is here now.. with me.. near me.. I don't need to be afraid.. of anything.. if taeshi is here that means grandma is also here but.. wait.. if taeshi was with her.. then I should have heard some noise.. when grandma and taeshi enter.. but I didn't hear anything.. then that means he was here when I entered here.. is someone else here with him.. if isn't grandma then who it is.. then does that means someone was watching me from the moment I entered here.. I hug taeshi tightly closer to me.. I.. I should get out of here first.. everything will be alright if I get out of here.. I am even too tried to worry about anything.. as I am working overtime to pay.. Mr.Kim back.. I was in my deep thoughts.. but someone held me by my shoulders.. and in a swift movement.. I was turned around and pulled into a tight hug..
Sia : " how are you Myra.. "
Myra : " s-sia.. " I said as I don't know what to say.. whether I am surprised or shocked.. at a point I am so surprised to see her and while I am even too shocked to believe that she is here.. she is back..
Sia : " so finally you realized.. it's me "
Myra ; " sia.. you are back.. " I said hugging her back.. hiding my face.. as tears are building in my eyes..
Sia : " I see.. you didn't change at all.. still scared of darkness.. it's ok.. it's me.. I think you might have forgotten that even last time I pranked you.. and you are reaction was.. just.. amazing.. but you were only 13 at that time.. I see you have already forgotten about it completely right.. that's the reason you didn't even realize when I was throwing petals on you.. as a hint.. "
Myra ; " I -I " I don't know but I couldn't say anything.. as words were not building in my mind.. what to say.. how to start.. how badly I missed you.. how badly I want to cry.. what had happened all these years with me.. I.. I just don't know from where to start.. but for now I just want to hug you and lean on you.. for sometime.. I am tried.. I am tried of everything.. it's been 5 years since I last saw you.. maybe I won't even be able to see you anymore.. if you wouldn't come and meet me.. then maybe even if you were in front of me.. I couldn't a, recognize you.. I don't know how you will react.. I don't want to say you anything.. I don't want to spoil our little moment.. I came out of my thoughts when she called me..
Sia : " it's ok.. I am here now.. it's alright.. ok.. "
Sis : " it's been 5 years.. and you haven't even called me once.. I think you don't love me anymore.. I am so hurt you know..my poor heart can't take this much of ignorance.. you didn't even miss me..
Myra : " no.. no it's not what you are thinking.. " I said hugging her more tightly.. she doesn't know what had happened all these years.. after you left.. it's wasn't even a month that all of my loved ones left me one by one.. first you left me.. then mom.. dad.. uncle.. aunt.. but.. now you are here I don't want to lose you again.. sia..
Sia : " hi!.. I was just kidding.. why are you crying.. it's ok..don't cry.. you know na I can't see you crying..
Myra : " no.. it's not.. it's.. " I said as I want to say her many things..
Sia : " I.. know.. I know.. you don't have to explain now.. we will discuss about it later.. ok.. now calm down.. "
Myra : " I - I.. " I just hug her tightly.. unable to say anything.. Sia.. I don't want to be alone anymore.. it's hurts.. it kills me inside.. after you no one have ever wanted me by there side.. I was left alone by.. you.. by my family.. they aren't coming back anymore.. but now as you are with me I don't wanna lose you anymore.. I am so tried of everything.. it's feels like a dream.. I don't know but these days I am having happy a lot.. but I am even having a bad feeling about that.. something is gonna happen.. and I won't be able to handle it.. even it's a dream I don't want to wake up..
