Uyir's POV

"My mother is everything to him then only me...same goes for me I am amma's boy. I do love my Appa but she comes first for both of us....she loved both of us and pampered me more as sometimes Appa has to travel to other cities regarding his business deals...I spend more time with her only ...our life was happy and beautiful till that day...".

He stopped and gulped a lone tear left his eyes that fell over the photo frame on his lap... We were sitting on the floor Leaning back on the wall.... He showed his childhood photos most of them taken by his parents and he played with his mother... They looked happy... My Dev looked happier and that was evident in his smile in those pictures... He rarely smiles like that I mean a genuine happy smile.....

I intertwined our fingers and pressed them lightly assuring him that I was there for him..he looked at me

"Would you leave me after knowing my past Uyir???"

I furrowed at his question...I cupped his cheeks and shook my head negatively...

"Even if I wish, I can't leave you Dev....because I need you more than you need me.......I can't imagine a future without you in it ......and I don't care what your past is even if you said you killed someone at a young age I would still be with you because I know my Dev can't hurt anyone he loves......if you don't want to share that's fine I won't force you "

he smiled at me weakly and lay on my lap...I creased his hair and leaned and kissed his head he held my hand in his tightly and hugged it to his chest as he was lying on my lap sideways I could see his side face. His eyes were closed he was taking deep breaths....that felt like he was reliving those moments and his tight hold made me feel even bad for my Dev ....he was trembling thinking about those events which I don't know exactly but it felt like something wrong happened in their life that changed the dynamics and lead him here......there was complete silence.......I placed my head over his

after sometime he spoke...

"My amma was 4 months pregnant then I was 8 year old and I was delighted getting know the news that I would become Big brother and soon I will get to play with My little sister ....yeah I was sure that I will get baby sister only ...you know every time we visit the temple I always used to pray god to give me sister only "

he chuckled lightly making me smile ....because I got to know even my anna used to be like that he wants sister only.....being the younger sister is different kind of feeling and I am the only girl child in my family made it even more special.....I kissed his temple...he glanced me but with pain now.....he gulped and trying hard to speak up.....I wiped his tears ....I won't stop him from crying he have to let it all out without any barriers.......with broken voice he said 

"But I killed her......I killed my own sister"

I was shocked to hear it....what he was saying....I don't know how to respond to that.......

"How????"

That's all I could manage to ask him......he got up from my lap and leaned back on the wall....I was watching him with curious eyes.....he didn't spoke he just closed his eyes and the tears flowing on the ends of his eyelids 

"We went for a tour which was also my father's ancestral home that's nearby Tamil Nadu and Kerala border....appa went out that day only me and my amma....I  was bored i wanted to play  hide and seek with her after pregnancy amma stopped playing with me... I do understand that then but that day I was adamant.....

She finally agreed and she started counting I went upstairs to hide because from they we went that place she didn't climbs the stairs....I was waiting for her to find me but I heard her loud scream......."
