"Mom, please don't irk me, Iet me sleep for some more time I am totally tired and you know I was late up till night studying so please".

"Whatever Surie! I don't fuss. Get up soon we have to go for shopping". I irritatingly answered, "You know I don't like shopping, better you ask someone other to join".

"I am asking you? It's my order and you have to follow it". I asked exhaustingly where? She said to the departmental store which hardly takes five minutes to reach and you and your drama is getting on my nerves now. I asked for what? She said frustratingly to buy some goods for house and also gift for Meera.

I threw the blanket other side of my bed, got up, yawned lazily and exclaimed why for Meera? She said, she completed her medical years and finally she became a doctor and that is why you're Uncle and Aunt had thrown a small 'Congratulating Party' for her including our family members only. I said WOW! I was damn elated and asked Mom, why didn't you tell me earlier about Meera? I thought you'll come with me but you had to give reasons for everything. I said, every time I join you in our grocery shopping and you know I don't like shopping not even for myself and everyone knows my taste is pathetic. She said fine in an agree tone and asked me to get ready we have to go for shopping today only and the function is at night.

While we all were getting ready for the night, I asked mom did you saw my multi-colored stone bracelet. I can't find it anywhere in my house. She asked me to check out in other rooms. I said I searched out all over the house but didn't found anywhere? Mom said let it be Surie. It became so old better you stop wearing it. I woefully said mom it's my favorite I wish I haven't lost it.

I make sure to myself to grab window seat to sit in the car. While all were gabbling about Desh, Duniya ki khabre I was admiring the view outside the window. The cold wind from the Arabian Sea lashed on our faces. My elder brother was driving the car. I requested him to take us from the Palm Beach Road. I love the perfect serenity the city gives me. Calm, beautiful, peaceful, less crowded and that's the reason I love to go to my Aunt's place.

Meera greeted us with a huge smile on her face and said you guys are late like as usual. I hugged her adoringly and said I am glad to see you back again Ms. Doctor Meera. I congratulated her giving the gift me and Mom bought for her and also a 'congartulations' greeting card with a letter in it which I wrote for her in my handwriting. She loves my handwriting and my Calligraphy too.

She grabbed my hand in her hand and took me in corner. We sat down in the chair and she opened the card and looked amazed seeing it. She said pleasingly, now it's time to read the letter you wrote for me and I know you write amazing.

Dear, I ain't a good writer or poet so please forgive me for my clumsy blunders in the letter.

Let me start......... To me you are more than a cousin sister like my own real sister. You are perfectly 'per-fect' to me and I don't want to lose you at any cost. You are like a precious gem to me which I won't be able to found even if I took a thousand watt bulb in my hand to search in the daylight. I don't want to lose you at any cost. I remember all those childhood days and all things you and I did. I wish I could relive all those memorable days again.

You are really good in everything it's like your mother-in-law will be proud of you. She'll say I am proud to have a daughter-in-law like you who is a beautiful and stunning doctor and an all-rounder too. You cook deliciously delicious foods, a cleanliness goddess who doesn't tolerate a single dust near herself which I admit (I can never be), manages everything in a really well manner.

There's a proverb "An apple a day keeps the doctor away". Wish! Soon you find your 'Prince Charming" who will change the proverb like 'If the doctor is beautiful keep the apple away" (just kidding).

You might be thinking that I am exaggerating it, may be, but believe me it's from the bottom of my heart. You are like half a heart to me. Love you and wish you a successful and a rocking doctor life ahead.

Yours Lovingly,

Surie Malhotra

She dazed at me. I said stop killing with those look in your eyes. Why are you giving me a strange look I puzzled?

Meanwhile a tear stream down on her face. She almost started crying. I asked distraughtly, what happened? It wasn't nice or what?

She said with tears in her eyes, it wasn't nice. It was super nice. It's like you wrote it down for lover. It looks like a 'Love letter' more. I said stop pulling my legs and concentrate on feelings.

She said inspiringly, you can be very good writer. You are very good with writing skills. Why don't you try it out? I said in not-so-good expression on my face Stop it! Impossible. I can never be. Being a writer is a really very good thing and I am not that good so please. I want to be a doctor it suits me and about being a 'writer', nah...

We were talking, laughing, making fun, remembering all those days we spent together. We both were emotional. Meera screamed, Lizard! I jumped out from the chair, ran to the other corner and screamed out in fear where, where?

She yelled at me and ran telling in your wildest dreams, Surie! I anxiously said I'll kill you making fun of mine. You know how much I'm afraid of the word 'lizard'. She remained laughing and said I remember last time at night when you saw lizard in your bedroom, you didn't slept in fear of it, what if at night lizard will be right next to me on my bed. I am never going to forget it. You are such an interesting person in my life and I love you too for being the way you are and thanks for the beautiful card and lovely letter written by you in your calligraphic writing.

She confusingly asked me who is Siddharth? He keeps you tagging you in pictures, posting on your wall, commenting on your posts and pictures. Who is this new character in new life? Don't tell me you fell in love with him? I fend for it and said nope. How can you even think about it? I 'in love' LOL. He is just my school friend and nothing else more than this. I said for changing the topic, don't you have something better to say?

She said Oh! Yeah. I am happy to hear from mom that you are not giving up. This time you will be definitely fulfilling your dream and said "don't never say your lonely, just lay your problems on me and I be waiting there for you" in a Union J style.

I said it's only because of Mom, dad and Sophia, Aisha. Sophia and Aisha! How are they? It's been so long I haven't seen them. Sometimes we chat on Facebook but it's like they too are inactive users like me and smiled. She added saying they are like blessings to our family. I nodded my head in approval.

Once again I hugged Meera and complaint to my Aunt and Uncle why don't you people come to our house. Please come someday and bring meera also. My aunt teasingly said for sure how can we forget your 'Half a heart '. I looked stupefied at Meera and asked how she knows? She keeps guessing for a while and uttered may be due to super powers.
