Why didn't I understand she was feeling lonely, why didn't I stop her and tell her our point of view, all kind of thoughts running in my mind I started remembering our time together how we would plan pranks and enjoy doing it together, how we were partners in crime, how we would hide together and would win the game and the victory hug we shared after winning, how she would understand me with just a eye contact yet I couldn't see the sadness and loneliness in her eyes, I felt bad at how I couldn't understand her the same, how we both would go to pick up fruits together and she would jump happily when her aim with her slingshot would go perfect.
How she would run excitedly when she thought new ideas for pranks and would tell me whispering in my ears as if telling me a big secret, how she bribed pitashree with a ladoo so we would win, how she would come to me first to share her small cute problems, how we would sleep while waiting for others to find us, how she would tell me she also wants to learn warship but she can't because she is a girl, how sometimes to keep up with us she would practice hard and would always finish what she started learning, how she would share her thoughts leaving me amazed at her thinking, how she would always smile and hug me saying she loves because I listen and understand her and telling me i'm the best bharata. Oh aadhya wherever you are please be safe I cried and continued to search for her.
