Taani got out of the taxi as she did every evening and began making her way to the nurses station; like normal.
"Madam?" the nurse got up, clearly surprised to see her. " Aap? Yahaan?"
"Haan" Taani replied, confused at the nurse's reaction "Onu se milne aayi hoon"
"Aapko doctor ka message nahin mila?"
"Doctor ka message? Nahin, kyun?" she began to panic "Onu theek to hai na?"
"Haan, vo theek hai lekin aap unse nahin milsakte"
"Nahin milsakti? Lekim kyun?"
"Doctor ne manaa kiya hai. Aaj vo bohat mayoos aur dukhi lagrahe the"
"Onu?" she asked
"Ji" the nurse nodded
"Mujhe unse milna hai"
"Madam, maine abhi kaha hai ke aap unse nahin milsakte"
"Suniye, yeh bohat zaroori hai ke main Onu se miloon, khaaskar aaj ka din"
"Aaj ka din?"
"Haan, aaj Ananya Di ki barsi hai"
"Ananya Di?"
"Haan, uski behen"
"Kya?"
"Haan. Please, aap mujhe jaane deejiye. Milne deejiye"
"Haan" she gave in, quickly grabbing her keys from her pocket and Taani followed her to the room.
She opened the door for Taani and Taani rushed right in without any invitation.
She looked up and saw Onu sat there, grabbing his knees and curled up in a ball in the corner of the room, hiding his head. She heard him sobbing quietly and didn't notice when her cheeks were wet until the nurse stepped forward with a tissue. "madam, yeh leejiye" she said
"Thank you" she said taking it to wipe her eyes. At that point Onu looked up, his cheeks covered in tears, his eyes red from all the crying and looking lost like a helpless child.
"Onu?" she said and he jumped up to rush over to her hug. She held him tightly and closed her eyes and she felt him sob into his shoulder.
Onu may not have been as close to his sister as he would have wished but she was still his big sister. They still shared a bond.
Taani was the one to pull away. "Onu" she cupped his cheeks and wiped his eyes for him. "bas" she sniffed "mujhe pata hai" she told him. He looked at her helplessly before hugging her again.
They didn't need words. Their relationship was far too deep for them to need to express it in words. All they needed was each other.
