A LETTER FROM A SISTER
Dear Abhay, Asad,
Till I had the both of you, I had the world with me. Now, with you gone, I am left all alone. If this doesn't tell you how special you both were, I don't know what else will!
Why did you leave me and go? From the time that you guys have gone, all I have been told is how much of a failure I have been in every relationship of mine. I have been accused of failing as a daughter, as a daughter-in-law, a sister-in-law. Wife, I am yet to become. I don't blame anyone. I understand why they are behaving this way. But that doesn't make my pain any less. Why, why can't they see my point of view?
I write to the both of you because it is only the 2 of you that have not accused me of being a failure. It gives me hope that maybe I did something right as a sister, and it also gives me the courage to fight to retain my only present identity, that of a sister. If I have hurt you, or am hurting you, please know that it isn't intentional. Irrespective of the duration of time that I have known you both for, you are both the same to me. You are both my brothers. I cannot differentiate between the 2 of you. I will never choose one of you over the other. Never!
Today I stand all alone. But I want to believe that the both of you are with me. Can I ask you both for something? I want the both of you to promise me that you will always remain by my side as my strength to move on, passion in everything I do, clarity in thought, patience during turbulent times, courage in times of distress, perseverance when faced with obstacles, humility in high pressure situations, grit in my character, determination to finish anything I start and positivity in my attitude. And I seek this from you because it has come upon me to become all of these for those people that are important to all 3 of us.
I miss you.
Lots of love,
Your only sister
