"My brother" She said.
The grim reaper was so confused, he thought that this girl is not close her family but here she is visiting her brother first. So He asked her, " Why your brother? Why not your parents?". She said," When everyone gave up on me, he was the only one who stood with me, although sometimes he makes me cry with his words but his actions always proves me that he loves me so much, so let's go visit him".
Time 4:30AM, Day 1
In a room, A boy is sleeping without a care about his surroundings. The girl was looking at him so lovingly with a hint of sadness. Her precious and annoying sibling, who was a monkey, always annoying her but also a protective brother who was always her shield.
While looking at him, she asked the grim reaper," Do you think he will cry at my funeral? I want him to cry though as I have never seen him cry after his puberty. He always acted like a big bro even though he is 3 years younger than me and I always acted childish around him. He was not very patient, but he was so mature compared to me. Everybody likes him and they always forget that I, his big sis, exist sometimes. I was always jealous of him, how he was like a bright sunshine, always friendly with everyone even though he doesn't know them and I was like midnight rain, always gloomy, lazy, especially a girl. And I think only 2 people out of all the people I've met with him, loved me. Maybe because I have always been compared with every other girl, that I started comparing myself with my own younger brother, pathetic, aren't I?".
Hearing her talk like that, the grim reaper was astonished and asked"Do all humans think like this? Hearing you talk like this gives him chills. Why are you comparing yourselves with others? Why can't you just live like yourself? It's ok if you compare yourself with others but your brother who is 3 yrs younger than you? Are you mad?".
While the grim reaper is shouting at her, the girl was just closing her ears with her trembling hands and sitting there while crying silently. Seeing her response, he thought it was weird, why is she trembling like that? So he asked,"Miss soul, why are you crying? OK iam sorry for shouting, I shut my mouth, see?".
Only sobs were coming from her, not a single word left her mouth, she just sat there at a corner ,hiding herself into the corner. He went to her and wanted to say sorry. But the moment, he put his hand on her shoulder, she started crying loudly, while saying," leave me, I Don't want to talk to you, go away, hic hic go away, don't touch me please". He didn't know what to do so he just sat there until she stopped crying, the he asked," Why are you crying like that? Did anyone do that to you?". Hearing him, she shouted," Shut up, just shut up, it's my life and I don't want you to fake worry for me, it's my business so don't interfere into others business".
The grim reaper was mad thinking that he just wanted to help her but here she is being arrogant, so he just didn't ask anything and just said," OK, I Don't care what happened, I just want this 3 days to finish so I can just relax and never see your face again". After that there was only silence as the girl just looked at her brother's life where he is enjoying every minute and just without any worry with his friends.
Time 10 Am, Day 1
There was a knock on the girl's bedroom door, and the person knocking was her mother, hearing no response, she shouted," Aria,Get up, do you know what time it is now, you should not be so lazy, how many times do i have to tell you to wake up early, do you know what will happen if you go to your in laws house and still sleep until 10? They will question our upbringing. Aria, This is the last time I am asking you, wake up and open the door, ARIA OPEN THE DOOR".
Seeing no response coming, she was angry and worried so she brought her husband and said," See your daughter, sleeping till 10 Am, what will happen if it becomes a habit? Tell her to open the door". Then her dad said,"Aria open the door, it's not nice to sleep till this time, Aria wake up". And there was no response, her parents were worried and they called someone to open the door, they entered inside and saw that their Aria is laying on the bed with dried blood all over the mattress, which came from the slit on her wrist.
Seeing their precious daughter lying like that they were heartbroken and ran towards her body as the father& mother took her body into their arms and cried continously while shouting why did their daughter take such decision, why did she kill herself.
And at the same time, the girl felt like someone touched her, she asked the grim reaper, " Did they find my body?" As he nodded in response, she said," No wonder I felt like somebody touched me, so that's it now let's go to my house, I want to see my funeral and I don't think they will inform my brother now but after sometime". The grim. Reaper just followed her in silence.
Time 12pm, Day 1
Every neighbor gathered around the girl's house to see what happened, why there are people in their house. As they asked some relatives who came, they said, "Their daughter has killed herself, now a days kids are giving up on their life so easily, they are nothing like our generation, This generation kids are so weak, always killing themselves if things Don't go their way". The neighbors whispered to themselves,' did they have a daughter, I have never seen her' 'Someone said that their daughter did something shameful that's why they locked her in their house' 'Really I knew it, she was always so secretive, I thought that she was hiding something'. As the whispering increased about the girl, who they don't even know.
Seeing how everyone talking about her, Aria thought to herself 'Pathetic people, always prying into others lives, they don't even know and have not seen me, they just started gossiping' tsk. She went to her body and saw that her mother hugging her body and crying while her father just sitting there staring at her body. She then saw who have come to her funeral and there was her uncles, who loves her so much; her aunts who always wanted to marry her off to someone; and she looked around for her friends, there was no one, she felt disappointed but wanted to wait for her friends and there was someone she wanted to see so much, so she is patiently waiting for more people to come. Everyone came and cried for 5 min and put a garland on her body, comforted her parents and went their way.
STAY TUNED TO KNOW ABOUT WHO SHE WAS WAITING FOR.
