139 Cracking skies (1/2)
Sylvana was humming with humming with happiness, after what she learned from her father they had formulated a plan and soon they will confront Pangu then they would douse the anger in his heart so that they maybe family again.
As she made her way to her room she came across Antariskh who had taken leave from their earlier discussion before anyone, she found her sitting near a small pond in their garden, the fishes residing inside the pond swam lazily around her feet which she was dipping inside the pond with a melancholic look in her face.
Sylvana frowned at that since she was a child she knew that whenever Antariskh was having some distress she would be found sitting in such a position.
Sylvana approached as she coughed loudly bringing Antariskh's attention to her, she quickly replaced her melancholic mood with a wide grin, ”Sister what are you doing here?”
Sylvana deadpanned at her question, ”Sister the way to my room is through this garden.”
Antarikh gave a sheepish grin at that, ”Sorry I was distracted.”
Sylvana sighed as she spoke, ”Antariskh I do not know why you are so tensed, where as you should be a little happy big brother will be coming back home soon and you know what he will do if he sees you like this?”
Another voice came to both their ears, ”So true sisters, big brother does not like it when we are ad so cheer up a little and pray tell us what worries you?”
Antariskh looked towards her sisiter emotionlessly before she broke out in a fit of giggles which evolved into laughter, ”Hahahahaha, you two truly know how to jest sisters.”, which caused both Sylvana and Shamiran to frown at that.
Shamiran frowned at that as she replied back scathingly, ”You are having too many laughing fits today, care to explain what you are smoking.”
Antariskh gave a pitying look at her as she spoke, ”My my dear the little grass snake since when did she grow so bold to talk back to me.”
Shamiran bristled at that, but before she could reply Antariskh began speaking with a sigh, ”Third Sister among all of our siblings you were the most perceptive and cunning, do you honestly believe we could ever go back to such a relationship again.”
At that the other two were stunned the stubborn not willing to give up Antariskh was admitting defeat it was simply preposterous to them.
Antariskh: ”Pangu has already severed the 'Fates of threads' that connected him to us, any relationship we had with him, any hopes, dreams, joys or sorrowswe had once shared, or are sharing or would have shared are meaningless they have ceased to exists we are no longer even just an acquainted person but strangers nothing more nothing less, ”
Sylvana was speechless at hearing that, while Shamiran did not look too much shocked at that as she nodded in agreement with a melancholic look on her face.
Sylvana looked at both of them stunned as she spoke, ”Then why did you not say anything during the meeting why did you two agree with our parents in the first place.”
Shamiran was the one who answered on behalf of Antariskh and herself, ”Simple have you seen how much devastated second mother and father looked, for them their entire world might have come to an end, even if they know that any form of relation is non-existent they have deluded themselves into believing that they will get him back, to a small extent it is true for both first and second mother to an extent.”
Antariskh nodded as she added to the reasoning of Shamiran, ”Since the day we have been born we grew up seeing the tall back of our father, the kind and understanding mothers no matter what happened they were like a shelter for usalways protecting us, nurturing us yet everything came to an abrupt end all of a sudden. The broken look on their faces as they laid on the ground crying their hearts out, father's repeated muttering of 'I am sorry, I am sorry', still gives me nightmare everyday and worst of is Second mother as if she is dead woman walking. As such I kept pretense to keep up their delusions, did you not see how happy they were thinking brother will be back I cannot douse their hope.”
