Reason to Love

12. My Treasure

AADHIRA P.O.V.

I woke up with jerk from my sleep due to heavy alarm sound I looked at groaning Aahana with closed eyes at my side.Oh this girl!"Hey wake up little girl you have your school" she groaned louder by burying her face under the pillow."sisy! let me sleep for another ten minutes."I chuckled at her, she is so kid.

"if you didn't wake up now aunt is going to enter into the room" she opened her eyes immediately.

"Oh..no I don't want mom to start her morning lecture for my laziness" she yawned and marched towards her room to get ready.We have separate rooms but most of the times we would be sleeping together.

I laid on my bed I don't have anything to do this earlier,if it's ooty I would be going for jogging.It would be very natural and pleasant morning with greenery everywhere and cool breeze that makes you shiver.I wanted to jog again it had been long, as I am not familiar with Mumbai I am little hesitant to jog here,I should talk about this to uncle.I am a early riser at my home but late riser at hostel and now I am a weak sleeper. Yes, I always have lack of sleep after my parents accident. I would always get nightmare regarding that accident, though I didn't visualize the accident I get different worst nightmares about the accident.

I lifted my head and took the photo frame of my parents and me from the side table.I observed very closely,my features didn't match them, nothing is common in appearance between my parents and me.How come i didn't notice this before?But one thing is common in three of us. Love.

Their eyes are exposing immense love for each other and mine to them. My dad's love for my mom and me same goes with my mom and mine happiness and love for my parents.By that time I didn't even think that soon I will seeing my parents only in photo.My vision started to blur with tears and my chest tightened with pain,Quickly I wiped my tears I should stay strong I should accept the reality and move on because my parents will not like me to be weak.It's funny that I used to think before that whatever life throws at us we should stay stronger and face it but it remained only in my thoughts. I failed to put it in reality in my case.I was ready to face my ups and downs in my life but never I imagined that I would have such a big loss. That is the reason why I cannot bring my thoughts into act. My parents are my strength, support, my power in fact my world revolves around them, how could I be stronger?for whom I have to be stronger after them? But my parents made me realize the fact, may be if I didn't see that video I would have not even attempted to accept the reality.They knew me very well and so they had planned about it in before hand.I am really blessed to grow up in good hands, how it would be if I was their biological daughter? Now I understand how much I was attached and dependent on them.

I got up from my bed and headed towards my study table, I took out our family album from one of the drawer and rushed back to bed with it.I started to go through each and every photos, this has become my routine nowadays, often looking the photos and remembering my days with them.First few photos were of my parents when they were love birds and next few were their marriage pics which was simple and beautiful and few were of their honeymoon and vacations, next were all my pics with my parents since my childhood to be clear exactly when I was a baby to till my college days.Every photos were in perfect order of our lives.These are their memories and my treasure to protect.In all the photos it resembles clearly that how much they are in love with each other.I always envy their love, my mom is one lucky women to have a husband like my dad.

"you will get a person who will love you more than his life like i have got your dad."

Suddenly I remembered my mom's words, will I?

I don't know whether it is true or just my mom told it only to console me.I had never felt such kind of feeling with anyone, I was attracted or to say impressed with few like celebrities, even I had a crush in school days but eventually I forgot about that person after school.To be frank, I never had such strong feelings like love towards anyone.I am not a girl who will be waiting for her knight in shinning armor or prince charming.According to me prince charming are only available in fairy tales, I am the person who strongly believes in soulmates.But I cannot be just waiting for him to show up I have to move in flow with my life. I hope destiny will decide for our encounter with each other.

I sighed and started my day with my preparation for interview which is next week.
