The sky was bleak and the weather was cold.

The church was full of people today.Nope....not for Christmas celebrations though.

It was a funeral procession for a girl.....she died

yesterday.

"I heard that the girl suicided......",a person whispered to another when others were stealing glances towards a broken father,an ill mother,and a solitary sister,who was so heartbroken and depressed that all the tears in her eyes dried.

She was standing far away from the crowd of the people who came to attend the funeral procession.

Many of her relatives came...an unprecedented situation though. Because they didn't have so called 'good relationship ' with them.Some were glancing towards the deceased's boyfriend.He was weeping continuously and consoling the parents who have just lost their daughter.

The girl standing in the corner suddenly came forward to proceed with her sister's last rites.She was hesitating but seeing the condition of her parents she decided to move forward.

The girl was emotionless when the church bishop called her.She was expressionless, gazing at the relatives a little ,who were still chatting with no remorse.And she also felt pity for her parents who completely were broken ,and disgust towards the boyfriend,who was continuously crying.

She spoke up...addressing the last rites for her sister's funeral.

"Thanks to all who have come to attend her last rites and pray for her departed soul.....Please stay here for a while,until the procession is over."The girl replied,her face much more dim than before.

"I am Shen Xiayu,the elder sister of Shen Xiayan,the person who have died and sleeping forever,resting in peace.I am here in the representative of my father,Shen Haoqian and my mother,Shen Yourou.I pray so that her soul may rest in peace."She continued.

"To describe my sister.....I have nothing to say more than this....She was a gentle soul who had rekindled kindness into passion but at the same time...bringing her own death.She was a moth who tried to be the butterfly but finally burned her wings by the fire.She was rebellious but obedient....she was a good sister ,a good daughter ,a good fiance and a to-be -good mother,who was bearing her children through the most depressed years of her life.She was supported but her mental health was declining. She was abandoned by a ruthless man but still supported by a good person.She had been struggling a lot.Whenever I felt pain,she was the one who would alleviate it.She was a guiding light...shining in the darkness,while...I was a black charcoal that was a mole in the very decent rays. I only have a small request to God...."

She could speak no more.She could feel that her tongue was so heavy.The tears she succeeded to hide were coming out .And her cold demeanor broke down to reveal her soft spot.

"'Tears??"',She thought by herself...."'I never cried though.Why I am crying today??""

""So this the pain of losing someone.How ironic...."' She continued to think

//CONTINUATION FROM THE PREVIOUS EPISODE//

Xiayu finished her speech.But she was still in a dilemma.....

"Xiao......",a friendly voice called out.

She realised the voice but she hadn't enough courage to face the truth.

"Long time no see,Zhao Huanren....",She replied finally mustering up courage after thinking for a long time.She had been running away from the truth for so long,she didn't have anymore energy to do so.

They were in silence for some another seconds when both of them spoke up..."What's up??"

"Oops I am sorry...please go forward ",Xiayu rebounded to her natural state.

"I am here to give condolences to your family for the untimely loss of their youngest daughter.Please accept the bouquet as a prayer for her departed soul."

Huanren handed the bouquet of the white chrysanthemums to Xiayu. He was feeling a little remorse.....his tired eyes were gloomy and puffy.It was sure....he cried.

"As you have handed over your condolences....please go visit her coffin for the last time.",Xiayu strided over after saying the words.

"How are you Xiao??Have you been well??",Huanren suddenly spoke up,his face full of guilt.

"We are only acquainted, I think we are not that close.I would be happy if you address me with my formal name-Shen Xiayu or ,Ms Shen.",She replied her face showing her rage.

She slowly glanced towards the laid coffin where her sister was sleeping for eternal. She murmured within herself...."You broke our promise,you dummy Yanyan(Shen Xiayan nickname)"...

~XIAYU'S MEMORIES:REMEMBRANCE OF YANYAN~

Two girls were running at full speed...with no bounds.It was windy and their hair was flowing getting into their faces.

"Xiao Ni,hurry up or else we will not be able to reach to the goal point.Daddy promised to give the winner the best chocolate set."

She continued running ....a beautiful angelic aura surrounded her....

"'So beautiful"',A little Xiayu thought by herself...

"Are you really going to slack off sis??",a little Xiayan pouted cutely.

"Yanyan,Xiao,run slowly....",their mother yourou sternly said...

And the most expected thing happened at that time only....

Xiayu tripped on a rock and tripped,bruising her knee badly....

Their mother came running catching little Xiao....while Yanyan started to cry out of fear by seeing her badly bruised leg.

Xiayu was in immense pain but she bit her lip not to show that she was in pain.

"I am just fine....",she blurted out a little.

"You are in pain Xiao Ni....you are in so much pain,I am so sorry...hic hicc",Xiayan continued to cry.

For a moment,Xiayu stopped.She was surprised.She always thought herself to be different from Xiayan.But she was surprised to see the pained expression in Yanyan's eyes when she was the one who got hurt.

She smiled a bit....

"I am just fine Yanyan....I am so happy actually....It is so great that...."

She teared out....

"Now,don't you cry so much girls.....wipe your tears",their mother slowly calmed them down.

Their father came running.....

"Is Xiao alright darling??",he asked with fear smothered on his face.

"She is alright....you don't have to worry so much you know!!"

"Okk ,so let us go back inside the house.We need to treat Xiao's wounds".Haoqian said

Haoqian carry Xiayu while Yourou bring Xiayan inside the house.

Xiayu's wounds were being treated.The antiseptic coming in contact with the bad bruise made the little girl shiver.

Xiayu clenched her jaw out of sudden tingling pain.

"It will just be fine.Please be patient and bear with it for a while",her mother calmed her down.

They cleaned the wound and put a band aid on her wounded knee.She was in pain but her ability to bear was much more.

**DURING THE NIGHT**

"Hey Xiao Ni,are you alright??",Xiayan asked.

"I am alright.It just pains sometimes, but don't worry.",Xiao replied.

There was an awkward silence in between them.Yup,it felt like time stood still for a moment

"'What will I tell?? Ohh I feel too embarrassed. If I ask that question ,she will call me a childish brat. No!!I am her big sis and I shouldn't ask childlike questions too her...."', Xiayu thought.

"Sis,do you want to ask me something??",Xiayan asked when she saw her sister's face,all pressed as if she wants to tell her something.

At this point of time,she was as red as a tomato, blushing so hard.She was so embarrassed.

"Sis,you are looking so funny you know??Just like a monkey".

"Hey Yanyan....I just wanted to ask you....".Xiayu was like a little rabbit,her fair skin has turned red die to embarrassment.

"If someday we will not be together,will you leave me???"

Xiayan paused for a moment.She then stared at the ceiling of the room.

"I don't know..but I would like to be with you always. You know...without you,I am nothing.We both make up a soul together.I promise, I will never leave you....",Xiayan replied.

"You should keep your promise.You shouldn't leave me,no matter what happens.We will always be together. "Xiayu replied.

"Now go to sleep or else mom and dad will come and scold us very badly",Xiayan sternly replied.

They snuggled together under the blanket and hugging each other to sleep.

[POV ENDS]

People were still flooding in when Xiayu was standing in the garden looking towards the sky.

"Now that you have escaped, how will I live???Xiayan "....she murmured .She had a note and a picture in her hand.

She sighed and crumbled the picture along with the note and throwing it in theme dustbin.She walked along the field that was located behind the house ,only to reminisce the times she spent with her sister.
