A Maaneet Tale
I love how you all just assumed that Meera died. You're all so clever! Anyway, I hope you like this update 😊
Death
Present - 2010
Muskaan's eyes were wide with fascination.
Muskaan: "And then what happened, mummy?" she asked in a curious voice.
I still remembered that day as clear as crystal. I gulped, trying to swallow the lump in my throat the size of a golfball. Tears were in danger of spilling down my cheeks like waterfall. I clenched my teeth, trying my best not to break down in front of my daughter.
04 August 2004
There was a crowd outside my house and I wondered what was going on.
I glanced at Maan. He was staring straight ahead with a big frown on his face.
Maan: "What the hell is going on" he mumbled and even I wondered the same.
The instant Maan got out of his jeep, the crowd gulped and straightened their postures.
Maan: "What's going on? Why are you all crowded outside here?" he asked and I got out of the jeep, my heartbeat rising.
I had a feeling something terrible had happened.
"A-Actually..." one of the people in the crowd trailed off, and looked at me with sympathy. A lone tear trickled down her face before she walked away.
Maan: "Move out of my way" he commanded, and him being a Prince, everybody followed his command and stood to the side.
Revealing my sister on the floor.
I gasped, putting a hand to my chest.
I literally stopped breathing.
Beside me, I could feel Maan's warm hand come in to my cold and clammy hand but I shook it off.
My sister was on the ground.
Slowly, I walked over to where her white as paper body was lying. In her hand was a broom, and beside her was a pile of leaves.
I gulped, and bent down.
No.
She can't just... Leave me.
I didn't even say goodbye...
And I didn't even tell her the good news.
"Wake up" I said and tugged on her arm. Her arm fell down to the ground after I let go of it.
"I need to tell you something" I said and tapped on her cheek.
"Wake up!!" I screamed.
I took Meera's hand in mine, which was as cold as ice and bent down close to her ear.
"I hope you can hear this, Meera. I got a job. And I'm going to make you and our Parents' proud. Just watch, Meera. Give some sort of signal so I know you can hear me" I whispered into her ear and waited, tears going down my cheeks like a waterfall.
Suddenly, a warm breeze hit my face and thats when I knew that Meera was gone, alright. But she was still in my heart. And I knew she would protect me and never leave me alone.
Maan: "Geet, let's go" he said in a low voice
"Where?"
Maan: "Home. Your not living here anymore" he said and I turned to look at him. His eyes were glassy, like he wanted to cry. And for once, he was being nice to me. He took my hand and squeezed it, like he understood how I was feeling.
He tugged at my arm, and I stood up from the ground. I sat in his jeep and never once took my eyes off Meera's pale face.
The ambulance had arrived, and I watched them carry Meera's body and put it on a bed. Then I watched them carry the small bed into the back of the ambulance. Then I watched the ambulance drive away.
After that, Maan started driving. I silently started to cry, clenching my teeth so I didn't make a noise.
***
Maan told the Queen what had happened. She looked at me with sympathy but I ignored her and followed the servant upstairs who showed me where my room was.
Right now, I just wanted to be alone.
When I was finally alone in my bed, I hid my face in my pillow and pulled the duvet up to my ears and then started to cry.
