Misplaced Love
Have you ever been through a situation? A situation in which you are helpless , you want to cry out loud , but you don't have the strength. A situation in which the pain is unbearable , it is so much that you want to yell but you still can't. A situation where everything around you is dizzy , you can't see anything except hollowness. A situation in which your heart is filled with negative feelings. A situation in which you just want to go back and change everything , but you can't!
I was in that situation.
It was like someone had grabbed my soul and pulled it out of my body , harshly.
I couldn't breathe.
I heard the room's door open , my dad entered. He looked pale , yet he was strong , he had to be strong to hold us all together.
He sat beside me.
"Kria." , he spoke softly.
I didn't reply , just stared at the wall. He held my hand.
"It's going to be alright."
"No!" , I yelled. "It won't be alright. She'll never come back. I won't be able to hear her , see her , talk to her. How can it be alright dad! How will it be alright?"
"You'll see her Kria. Whenever you'll look into the mirror , you'll see her."
"It does not matter whether we were identical dad, I will never be able to see that girl who could make anyone smile , the care free Kiara."
"Ssh. It can't be changed Kria , you can't change it. You'll have to live with it , you'll learn how to live without her."
"I don't want to!"
"Neither do I..but we'll have to Kria."
I heard footsteps and saw mom entering. She looked so broken. Kiara's death had hit us all hard.
Dad pulled us two in his arms , we hugged him tight. Yet this family hug was incomplete without her , without my twin sister Kiara.

Rey's POV
Finally! After 2 years I am going back go Mumbai.
I was excited would be an understatement. I wanted to dance in joy.
I didn't know whether it was the happiness of going back to the city where I have lived all my life except two years or meeting the girl I love , my best friend Kiara.
We haven't spoken to each other since 10 bloody months! I don't know why , maybe she was too busy with her studies.
Mom told me Smriti aunty had taken her phone. I chuckled , she always was addicted to her phone!

I entered my new flat in Mumbai , which dad had bought. It was spacious and near to my college as well as the Ghai's house.
After resting for a while , I dialed Kiara's number.
"Hello?" , it was Smriti aunty.
She sounded different.
"Hi aunty! Is Kiara there?"
"No!" , Smriti said.
"Shopping with Kria again?"
Kria was Kiara's identical twin sister. They were carbon copies of each other , if not for the mole on Kria's neck , and the difference in their personalities , I would have never been able to distinguish between them.
Kria was the shy one , she would get nervous while talking to strangers , she had few friends , because she couldn't trust them , I wasn't close to her , yet we were good friends. I remember once I had mistakingly blurted out about my crush on Kria to Kria thinking it was Kiara. She had remained quiet about it and I had later realized it was Kria whom I had spoken to. Well that crush just went away , because she wasn't my type and because well she looked like Kiara so I thought I liked her , but actually I liked Kiara.
Kiara , what should I say about this girl! She could speak to anyone and everyone , she wasn't shy , could make others laugh. And well..she was amazing!
"No!" , Smriti aunty replied after a short silence.
"Huh? Kiara and not shopping?"
"Kria..she went away to Dehradun 10months back. Someone in school bullied her and she wanted to go. Kiara was too upset and that is why she wasn't speaking to anyone. Kiara has gone to meet Kria in Dehradun Rey."
"Oh!"
Poor Kria. But Kiara had to go now. Urgh! That's so not fair.

Smriti's POV
Kiara's death had hit all of us really bad , especially Kria. She would break down when she was in the house , because everything reminded her of Kiara. Me and Rajiv had to be strong , for our daughter.
To avoid those break downs Kria would remain out the whole day , when she would come home , she would eat her dinner and then go to sleep.
It was taking a toll on her studies and it was her last year. We couldn't risk it , and that is why we sent Kria away.
It was difficult , since it was mid year and the board admit cards were ready. But, we somehow managed.
Nobody had told Rey. We all knew he liked Kiara , and seeing Kria break down so much , we couldn't even imagine what would be Rey's situation.
We all lied to him. Told him that she was concentrating on her studies.
We would tell Rey face to face when he would come.
We were waiting for Ranvijay and Anjali to come to Mumbai , so that everyone could be there to handle him.
Till that time Rey still had to be kept in the dark about Kiara's death.
