Usually people are happy to go back home..
I was not.
Who will be happy to give the news of the death of the parents to your sister.
When we reached home...i saw excitement in her eyes
When she stepped down from the car she said "My sweet home.. It's so good to be here"
And ran towards the entrance..
I was controlling my emotions and it was hard..very hard
I was just behind her and she ran into the house with gifts in her hands.
"I am back"
She said when she entered the house..
She was lil amazed when she saw her Granny (grandmother) her maid and few other distant relatives wearing black and were looking sad.
"Are u all celebrating Black day today? "
She asked laughingly..
"Ooo so many people are here to welcome me... But sorry I just brought gifts for my family.. " she said.
"Wait.. Where's Mum and dad? "
"Oo so they are again playing with me... But I think they've forgotten that their Barbie girl has grown up into a smart woman" she laughed.
"Mommy Daddy.. No need to hide.. Come here I've got u something " she shouted.
"Dad it's enough.. Please come down.. I don't want to play games now.. Please come "
She shouted again.
I turned back and started crying..
I couldn't see her like that.
She then went to Granny and said
"Granny please order them to come down. They'll definitely listen to u.. I am back after an year and they are playing games with me.. Please call them na"
Granny couldn't hold her tears and started crying..
"Why are u crying Granny..? Just call them please"
"They have gone baby... They have gone " Granny said crying.
"Gone? Where? Jay... Jay where are u? Did you drop them somewhere? "
She started looking for me
I wanted to hide myself.
She came to me hold my hand and asked "Where are they.. "
Now was the time and had to tell her
"They are dead Riya.. They died in a car accident "
I said and tears bursted from my eyes..
She stood silent for few seconds and shouted "noooooo"
Everyone there started crying except Riya.. She was shocked...
She hold my collar and pulled me closer. "Was it an accident or murder " she asked angrily.
I was silent
"Accident or Murder? "
She shouted.
"Jay Accident or Murder"
She shouted again and everyone stood in fear
"Mmurdder "
I replied in my trembling voice
"They we're murdered by The Skulls"
I said..
She released my collar.. Stepped back and ran towards her room
"Baby wait"
Granny said
I went towards her room but it was locked.. I tried to call her but she didn't open the door.
Now... All we could do was to wait for her to come down.
