To the airport

Almost after two hours, Tarika is sitting in the car. Her expression shows her condition, a condition of being placed with her enemy. On the other hand, the atmosphere in the driver seat was in complete contrast. Anamika is starting the car with an enthusiasm and is singing a song with a great smile. This smile seems genuine but for Tarika, it is a sign of her sister's victory over her which is annoying to her. At last, when it became unbearable to her, she said: "Can you please stop this?". As to her expectation, she received a negative reply.

"Why?"

"Sorry?"

"Why are you doing this?"

"What? Smiling? or Singing?"

After a small silence, Tarika continued "I thought I told you I will go alone. So, why did you come with me? Why you used Mummy Papa for this?"

Keeping the smile Anamika replied jokingly "Man, just relaxed. You know how much have you spoken just now, amazing man!". while speaking she turned towards Tarika, looking at her expression she changed her tone to a little bit of seriousness and continued "Okay, okay, don't be so annoyed. Firstly, I didn't use them but they used me because they wanted me to take you safely, at least to the airport if not to the last." "Why?" interrupted her fellow mate. "Well, nice question. And the answer is because I assured them that you will be good and this journey will be safe for you. That's why they validate you with a smile because they were convinced." she looked towards her companion and continued with her changed serious tone "Secondly, I want to make sure that you have a no way around."

"What?"

"Yes, I want to make sure that you do enter the airport."

"What? Why?"

"Because I know, you won't otherwise. Now don't be surprised I am sure you are still uncertain about your journey. And you are contemplating whether to go or not."

Listening to this Tarika was surprised but more than that she was touched. She knows, no matter how much her sister annoys her but she does love her. She understands her, maybe more than herself. For instance, this feeling that she has from the time she got the call, the feeling that she was not able to understand. Her sister understands it and is helping her to overcome it, without being asked. Being touched by her understanding she decided to her the truth. The truth that "There is no wedding."

"What?"

"I am not going for any wedding."

"I know."

"How?" she asked perplexed.

"Really? Do you ever think of using your brain? Come on man! If there was going to be a wedding than it would be all over the internet. Do you think I don't know what kind of famous companions you are familiar with?"

True. thought Tarika. Suddenly a question arises in her mind which instantly came to her mouth "Then, why?"

"Tarika, I am sick of you your one words. Can you please speak in an elaborative way? The way you allow your characters to speak, please."

"Why do you want me to go?"

"Because that's the only way to get you back."

Suddenly Tarika feels the atmosphere of the car becoming more serious than before. But she doesn't understand what her sister meant just now. "Means?"

"You are a writer, right. Have you never heard that if a thing is not over even after a while then it means that something is not right? And you know what is wrong with you and your problem. It is the place."

"The place?"

"Yes, sometimes the things get over in the place where it began."

"Means?"

Anamika remained silence for a few minutes then with a sigh she said "Do you think we don't know what is going own?"

"Yes, you don’t." she thought as she was not able to say it loud.

"And keeping that in mind I think you have to go there to get over this behaviour of yours. The same place where this began almost two years ago."

Hearing this Tarika felt like not speaking anything. She looked outside the window. The scenery outside seems very strange to her. An inconstant scenery, houses for some part than sanctuary trees on the pave and in some fields, garden, which are rare scenes in the terrain of Delhi. This unevenness in the scenery makes her remind of her life which, at this time, is inconsistent as a whole. There was a time, she thought when she was happy, and then she was temporary very happy as if on the ninth cloud. But she didn't realize then that clouds are only temporary and it will hurt her in the worst way when she will fall from the clouds. As a result, in the end, not only she but her family is hurt because of her fall. And now, she doesn't know what to do with this situation.

In reality, she never gave a moment to think over it. Because she doesn't want to hurt herself more but she never pulled in the fact that she is already hurting herself by doing so. As by this she was only running away from her problem, the actual problem. And now what she is doing is moving towards the actual reason for her problem and her miseries, just like Anamika said to her. Realizing her sister's perspective and after contemplating her advice she feels a sense of respect towards her and her love towards her takes a hype in her heart.
