The phone kept on ringing,
After three rings it was picked up.
"Hello"
A mellow, gentle yet smooth voice could be heard from the other end. But this voice sent turmoils inside Rina . It was so familur yet so foreign to her.
Then she again heard "hello" but she didn't answer, her tears kept on flowing, her inner struggle and all the heart wrenching pain she was having now was, so bad that she wanted to drift everything apart.
After few seconds, call was cut off.
Rina wanted to call, yet couldn't call her, she wanted to talk but couldn't talk, she felt so conscience less that no amount of help could relieve her.
She want to but couldn't do so anything. It was so painful. She cried all night and felt asleep at dawn.
At 8 o'clock, he room door was knocked, she woke up and checked herself in the mirror, Up to her expectations, she looked like a panda, her eyes were swollen and her eye bags were green, her skin was faintly illuminated by the tear marks that were dried for who knows how long
She freshend up and changed her clothes, put on concelor her and went to open the door tenner was a bit angry as he was standing here for about 30 minutes, but when he saw her eyes and her face, he couldn't bear to scold her, she looked like the child whos bullied and want someone to coax her.
He went close to her and hugged her tightly , she started to cry her silent tears were torture to him, No one knows how much he hate to see that, how much he hate to see her in pain, he wanted to take away all her sorrows and replace them with his own happiness. Everyone thought that he was with her because of his gratitude, but no one knows about his heart that was captured by her from the start, he used to show he didn't care but all he care about was none but her.
But the sad thing is she don't know she don't want to or she just pretend not to know
He thought about a poem:
"The pain is unimaginable
Your presence is unattainable
Yet whenever I see you I want you"
Yes, she was like forbidden treasure, he couldn't have, but more precisely he can never have her, she was too precious for her own good, so he could only be by her side and support her silently.
He said gently :
"Good girl, don't cry, you're a big girl, everything's gonna be alright, it's gonna be okay, you're gonna have a good life, you've to be strong" he coaxed her like a mother coaxed her five years old child.
His coaxing was a bit useful as Rina stopped crying, but soon her silence was followed by hickups, he laughed, and said:
"Silly, let's go, let's go to your parents house okay?"
She nodded and both went to the car.
Soon they reach eastern side of the capital,
Eastern side was more furnished and the villas and house here varied from place to place, there were three societies, Rina's parents lived in second tier society, the environment was very good and also it was close to her siblings school, she wore a mask and went there although her face was not as same as before, because she had undergo facial surgery, her nose shape was changed and her lips were also slightly changed. But overall her appearance was not much different but only when look too closely, otherwise no one could compare her to Arina her old self.
She opened her hairs and applied heavy mascara and liner, wore a dark shade lipstick making her look more mature and different.
After waiting for half an hour she saw a boy riding his cycle he was tall but still has childish appearance, and was wearing sports clothes, Rina immediately recognized him from afar as it was none other than her younger brother.
He and Areen resembles a lot, there face was almost exact when they were young but his face slightly changed as he grew older.
Tears ran like a stream after seeing her brother, she was never a crybaby but now she couldn't control her tears from falling...
