Gone but never forgotten

"May god protect you and shower upon lots of blessings on you" - wishes made by every sister for their brothers.


Fast forward 16 months,  we were out for a family function. Way back to home,  a friend called,  they found a bike totally collapsed and my brother lying next to it in a very serious state.
[Said by Megha (Megha di is a sister to me, we were sitting in the maggie point when she told me the trauma she had gone through,  her brother died in an accident ,Sarthak , she said,  Teary eyes,  choked throat.) ]


---why soo cold,  are the winds are blowing fast,  we were going back home. 
I have planned the entire weekend together,  am I awake,  did Ma said something,  hospital,  bike, Sarthak. (If specifics matter,  Sarthak is Megha di's yonger brother,  she always says that for me he is always being an annoying kid , a royal pain in the ass.
Two years junior and a foot taller he'd always complain "Hippo , u grew shorter hn"
And she'd obviously get annoyed,  that's what sisters are supposed to do. )



When she was telling me all this,  I found a strange smile in her face.  Reflecting how much a sister can miss her brother,  I can never understand her pain,  but iam sure it recks her soul.


She said--- our relationship was crazy,  he'd hit me,  I try fighting back,  I'd  be unsuccessful,  I'll  cry,  he'd  get yelled at and then I smile.


Her brother died on 24 March 2017,  her 19 years old brother died on a frek accident.
Everyone said it was unfair and I believed it for a long time,  but then I gave a though to it,  everyday lots of people die , but I never called it unfair because the victims are unaware to me. But here I was thinking about someone I know and then realized that Death is inevitable,  if everyone lived for eternity,  we die of claustrophobia and that is itself a paradox.  So,  I've convinced myself that death is certain,  my parents are going to die,  my friends are going to die and one day I too shall die, I've accepted it and it give me a sense of calm instead of fear.  The moment you realize that you are going to die is the moment you freely breath.



Well she never face sorrow again,  of course she will,  but she will get over it because she had experience the greatest sorrow of loosing a loved one and she survived that.


She says --- Her brother was 6 feet tall,  extremely passionate  ,very  charming,  and very handsome , why wouldn't God want him.

I remember one thing that Megha di always says to me that now she lives in a dream that one day he will knock the door and says,  "Hippo,  u grew shorter hn " and the she will hug him very tightly and never let him go.....

  1. The only thing I've deeply regretted is not being able to protect him, As being his elder sister it was my duty. Hopefully in some other life I will protect him.
    We were supposed to grow old together.
    I'll meet him someday and I know I will.
    I hope he remembers his hippo di.
    If not I'll kick his ass and make him remember.
    I miss you kutte Sarthak Rai.
    Will always feel blessed that I had and will have you as my little brother
    This is written beautifully.
    Thankyou Shivani.
    May God bless you and may your life be fill with joy.

  3. Reading this made me cry, maybe because I was visualising my younger brother here.
    He too say me the same, you are so short being my elder sister.
    I love him and can't imagine such situation. I can't afford to loose him.
    I pray to God to bless Megha brother's soul and give all the strength to her and family.❤️
