My chest tightens as I looked at her tears filled eyes... I know she was controlling herself from breaking down and her state was killing me... But I can't help myself as I have to go... It is very important for me to know the truth!
She took three four steps ahead towards me and stand just with a step distance... Slowly her lashes went up and her tearful gaze meet mine and I saw her pain which made my heart stopped... There was yarn to hold her and I want to do it same but I can't as there were people in the hall although they are busy we can't do anything...
She looked down as she understand my stillness and me too step back and turned around... I started checking my bag for the last time that everything is there or not just then I felt a tug on my shirt... I turn around composing myself knowing very well who it can be?! I smiled looking at my little radio but she stood there same with sad face... "Aap kyu jaa rahe h Bhai, please mat jaiye na?" She demanded almost getting teary...
I tried my best not to break down and slowly hold her shoulder.. "Its very important for me to go, my little radio... Please understand, I promise I will be back as soon as my work will get finish.. Don't be sad please, you know na your Bhai don't like your sad sad face..!" She looked thoughtful for a minute then asked "Pinky promise?" Showing me her tiny pinky finger... I smiled and locked her finger with mine saying promise and she smiled innocently!
I looked here and there and there was no one except me and Crystal.. Aunty was in kitchen packing food for us and other sisters were inside the room... I took this chance and step ahead towards Crystal who was standing with lowered head probably trying to hide her tears! "Crystal look at me!" I demanded softly but she just shook her head.. I felt so much bad knowing she was trying to hide her tears and pain from me.. I take one more step and make her look up.. She looked in my eyes filled with water and I try hard to control myself and not to kiss away her tears!
"I will be back just in a week... Don't be sad please... You are making it difficult for me to leave!" I said almost pleadingly... Tears slipped from the corner of her eyes as she lowered her eyes and I gently wiped her tears away... As I was going to take her in my arms when we heard Sara di coming out of the room saying something which make us take a step back from each other!
"Rishab are you ready?" Uncle asked entering into the hall with Amar.. I nodded and start zipping my bag as Crystal left from there... "Then let's go! The meeting is at 3:00 pm ... We have to reach there early!" He said again and I hang my bag on my shoulder... Yes... We are going for something related to work as uncle got a new project there and we have to be there for finalizing details but with that I have certain other work too so in short we have to go...
Everyone said their goodbyes and I smiled at everyone.. Lastly my gaze fall on my love who was standing in the corner of hall her eyes still tearful,"Bye!" I said and she mouthed "Take care!" To me... I turned around unable to take her tearful sight and my helpless ness and we left from there... I didn't turn my gaze for once... Because her tears which she was trying to hide were killing me... I am feeling difficult to keep calm.. Its already killing me that we have to stay without each other probably for a week... I don't know how I am going to spend my days when I am seriously addicted to her presence into my life...
**@**
Driver drive the car and me and uncle sat behind in backseat... After composing myself I decided to ask the question which was floating in my mind since yesterday evening! "Uncle can I ask you something!?" I looked at uncle he turned towards me putting his phone back saying "Of course dear!"
I take a deep breath and asked "Uncle last day Cryst... I mean Madhu told me that few years back you have saved a life of girl when you were returning back to house! Where is she uncle?" I looked at him hopefully and he get lost in thought for few minutes... My chest tightens as I thought about my sister's condition... Yes the girl who get saved by him was my Sister,my angel! "I don't know Rishab!" He said and my all hopes get shattered.. "But how can you not know?" I asked getting impatient...
He took a deep breath and said "Actually I saved her on time and we take care of her for two three days but wasn't knowing anything about her... After some days when I came to hospital to check on her she wasn't there!" I got shocked hearing his last words "What do you mean uncle?" I asked trying my best to not get hyper in front of him... "I don't know... The doctors told me that one person came and assure them that she is their daughter,I don't know with which prove... But yes they discharged her and take her away saying that she will be getting further treatment in their hometown!"
It was another shock... I felt numb hearing that... Who it can be saying that he was our parent and took my angel away and how can they prove her as their daughter? She is my sister ,the bag and things I got from it clearly implies that she is my sis but my parents were already no more at that time... So who is that person who did this and what's his motive? Oh God!! Please help! The thought create havoc in my mind and I felt like punching someone... After knowing these much I am still at dead end!!!
"Who was the person uncle?? Did you inquire about him?? How can they let him take her away?" I asked rapidly and uncle looked at me confused then asked "Why are you asking these much questions? Who's the girl to you??" I sighed and said "She is my baby sister whom I lost at that day!" I said slowly... Uncle knows about my past.. I had told him everything when everyone went to wedding in village and only we were here! "Are you sure ?" He asked putting a hand on my shoulder and I nodded looking away...
He sighed and said "I was unable to get any detail because the person restricted them to give any information about him using his powers..." I felt defeated hearing that and it pained my heart... "But we can try again... Let's go back to that hospital and try our best to find about him and your sister! We can go there tomorrow... Luckily the hospital is at same place where we are going!" Uncle said and hope arise in my heart and I looked at him thankfully while he just pat my back assuringly!
I take out my phone and check on the new massages... It was from Crystal so I quickly open the chat... My heart pained watching the contained...
Message:~ Why you left like that Star? I am not feeling good about all this... At least you should have said proper goodbye.. I was waiting for you to hold me once before you go away but you just left without turning back to me for once! *Crying emo*
Tears pricked into my eyes watching her words... She was in pain I knew.. As this Is first time we get separated after our confession but I can't do anything about this... I clutched my eyes tights thinking that she must be crying alone somewhere after I left from there... How can I be so stupid!!!!?!? I should have calmed her down first anyhow before lefting the house!
I composed a massage!
Don't cry Crystal... Please don't cry... You know how much your tears hurt me... Trust me I wanted to hold you badly and keep with me but you too know that it wasn't possible with everyone's presence!! I promise I will be back soon.. Just wait there with smiling face and enjoy your freedom until then.. Because when I will come back I will cage you with me in my arms and love you crazily!*wink wink*
I smiled at the massage and send it to her... I locked the phone watching that she isn't online to check my massage and closed my eyes... How life has taken turn... Before six - seven months there was nothing and no one with me and I was helpless for my destination... But now I am having so much blessing in different kinds... Specially my Crystal... I love her so much that at times it scared me that what will happen I lost her?? How will I live?? No no I can't let that happen... I have lost enough... I have craved enough for love but not anymore...
After two to three hours journey we finally reached Mr Shukla's office,who is our client... We are having contract to build there new premises and uncle and me are here to finalize sight seeing and other details... Amar with our team will come tomorrow or may be after that so we have to done our work before that!
**@@***
I laughed hearing my little radio's chatter as she complained about her whole day chores... Probably she was too much irritated as she have to go to school alone, and when she returned crystal wasn't there to be with her on lunch time... Also when wants to play Crystal got busy with Tution classes... So all over she was too much frustrated because of her dull day moreover she is complaining that I didn't even called her once in whole single day!!!!
"Khush ki bachchi mere kaan pak gaye... Kabse complain pe complain... Bhai ye Bhai wo...kitna pakayyegi apne Bhai KO? Rakh phone! " Crystal shout from behind her and I can clearly hear her voice... I smiled getting her frustration... Probably she must be waiting for my call or msg that's why she was shouting to put the call down as we both are talking since half an hour!
"Midhi don't be jealous... Tumhe baat karni hai... Tum bhi Jake apne Bhai se baat karlo... Mujhse kyu irritate ho rahi ho??" Khush complained at her... And I laughed at their banters... "Ha to Bhai... Ab aap so jaiye... Aapne khana kha liya h na... Jyada der tak mt jaagna aur apna dhyaan rakhna!!" She said ready to cut her phone... I mentally laughed at her demands!
"Bhai kyu bula rahi h aap unhe miss radio... Beta hi boliye na... Baate to aap unki mummy ki jaise hi kar rahi h...!" I heard Crystal saying from the background again and laughed out loud... This duo are totally crazy... "Dekha Bhai... Ye mujhe kitna pareshan karti h... Aap jaldi se as jaiye phir hum dono milke isse lesson denge..." Khush said after sometime... "Okay My little radio... Now sleep and take care!" I said to her and wishes me same then cut the call..
I lied on bed coming into the room... Uncle had booked two rooms in hotel for our stay... And after dinner he was already left to sleep while I was busy with my talkative radio... Finally getting the time after whole day I checked for my Crystal's reply... And there was her massages.. I quickly opened the chat!
Crystal ~ I won't cry now... But try to come back soon... I am smiling now and will wait for you with smile only... "Smiley face" @3:30 pm

These were her massages and I literally laughed at last one... I knew it... She was getting impatient to talk that's why she was complaining to Khush... I smilingly replied...
Am glade you will be smiling when I will come back... Did you just ignore last line of my massage??? "Thinking face"
Sorry I was busy in preparing notes and reports and didn't notice the time... And top of that uncle was with me whole the time so that's why I wasn't able to call or massage you!
Yes I had my dinner! And did you just get jealous of your own little sis... Why were you shouting at that poor girl!??? *laughing mode"
I send all the massages and instantly there were blue ticks means she saw the massages and I wait for her reply with smile plastered on my face... What you have done to me Crystal?!?
Crystal~ I wasn't jealous... Was just tired hearing her chatter!
Good that you had your dinner... Its okay about not getting time... Don't say sorry "angry face"
I laughed at her reply... She was seriously ignoring my first question I knew it!
Okay... No sorry!!! May be I was wrong about your jealousy... But I am sure you are ignoring my certain massages... Aren't you Crystal?"laugh"
I send the massage and whole three minutes passed and I smiled knowing she must be fiddling to tackle my mischievous msgs...!! My innocent love!
Finally a reply come...
I didn't ignored it... I just didn't get its meaning so I just left it! "pouty face emo"
I laughed at her innocent reply...
Okay let me explain...
I was just saying... When I will come there I will take you in my arms, hugged you tight and also will kiss you hard as you have given me permission! "Winks and kiss emo"
There was break for sometime... She had seen my msgs I knew... She must be shocked at my bluntness and must be getting wired thought although I was just teasing her...
"Hiding my face with palms" haww... Star you have become shameless... How can you say something like that??
I laughed again at her innocent reply and quickly composed another teasing massage... I was seriously enjoying it very much..
There is nothing shameful about wishing to kiss your love!!! And CRYSTAL... Not only I can say but I can also do it too just wait for that time and be prepared... "Wink"
I wish to be there to see your blushing face right now!
I send it and exactly after two minutes her reply came..
"Covering my mouth in shock" you have seriously gone mad...
I am not blushing for your kind information... "Looking away"
I replied her back...
May be I have gone mad in your love... But now you are stuck with this idiot so just be prepared to bear my madness."wink and laugh"
And I can seriously imagine your red face... You can't lie to me.. "laugh"
I shake my head at my craziness but was also glade that she isn't feeling bad or sad about my teasing and not getting uncomfortable!!! I can say it from her replies... There was ting sound and her another reply came...
I am ready to bear an idiot's madness.."giggles" there is nothing to prepared!"showing tongue"
Okay you won about blushing!!! "Blushing face"
This girl will seriously make me crazy with her innocent charm... Her simple massages are giving me this much happiness! I replied her getting a mischievous idea!
Nothing to be prepared?? That means you are ready to be kissed!! Wowww!!!! "Jumping with joy" I got the permission indirectly... I can't wait to come back there!!"wink"
I laughed anticipating her shocking face on my teasing... And soon after whole five minutes she replied!
I thought you were already having permission... I didn't know you were still waiting for it after last morning incident! Be happy like this always... Because in your happiness there lies mine too!! Love you Star! "Big smile face with blush"
I stared at my phone screen unable to digest her reply... Did she just accept it that she wants the same... And she isn't hesitating anymore to take a step ahead... I read her reply again getting believe that yes she said that... Ohh Crystal! I seriously wish we had this conversation face to face and not on phone...
Are you serious? Is that implies what I am thinking? Did you just said yes ?"thinking face"
I asked still in thought and in a minute reply came...
Yes... I am waiting for my freedom to end... Getting caged by your arms and to feel your crazy love trust me!
I am missing you a lot ... Come soon... Love you Star... "Shy face"
My heart thudded loudly with immense joy knowing that she is coming closer to me finally... She isn't hesitating to convey her feel...that thing made me happiest!! I quickly replied...
I am waiting for that time too...will be back soon... I miss you too Crystal... Love you a lot!!!!!!!
Then there goes massages after massages and we chatted for whole two hours until I asked her to sleep as she must be tired... And reluctantly left as she wasn't liking to go but it was necessary for both of us...
**@@***
We stepped into the J.K. general hospital and my beats increased in hope and fear!!! I seriously wish that today I get some information about my sister!!!
"Come Rishab... Let's went to the information desk!" Uncle said and I nodded so we walked towards reception...
"Excuse me... Miss...!" Uncle said... And the girl behind reception desk look up with smiling face... "How can I help you Sir? Are you having an appointment here?" She asked politely...
"No... We aren't here for check up... Actually we are here to know about a patients details who was admitted here in six years back... We wants to know who discharged her from here!??" Uncle said quickly going to the point and I crossed my finger hoping to get something good...
"I am sorry sir... We aren't allowed to share any information like his to anyone.. And also you are asking about past records... We aren't having that much to give you!" She said apologetically...
"We are not anyone... The girl who get admitted was my sister... I am trying to find her.. Can't you understand this little thing and help us...!" I said frustrated and some of the faces turns towards me giving me wierd glances but I didn't care... "Calm down Rishab!" Uncle said and I take a deep breath...
"I am sorry Sir.. But we can't trust anyone like this and give details please understand...!" She said and clutched my eyes tight to composed myself... Uncle looked at me then he take out his phone and dialed someone's no... Left to talk somewhere in private... He came back after ten minutes and I asked what's he doing but he just signalled me to wait... So I sat there with uncle on near chair...
I heard reception phone ringing and the girl talking to someone but I ignored their conversation as my mind was filled with my sister's thought... "Excuse me... Mr?" I looked up on her call and she was referring to us... We went to her and she asked "Tell me name of patient and time detail... With other details so I can find her record...!"
Uncle nodded and told her about everything that happened and in which year with the name of my sister as aaliya as they weren't knowing her real name and identity!! The girl nod at him and start searching for it... I looked at uncle confusedly that how she get ready to provide information and he just smiled saying "I Just used some helpful contact numbers!" I nodded at him and turn to receptionist who was still busy in her work...
Whole ten minutes passed and she verified the details with uncle that he is asking about that same girl or not and when she got confirmed that we are asking her uncle ask her to check about the name of person who discharged her... She looked through it and then finally looking up she said a name which left me shocked... She said "Aaliya was discharged on 13 Jan by Mr Raghav S. Kundra!"
