He had been waiting, it had been hours. The longest he would have waited. The whole matter was such, it could not have be spoken over the phone, video call or email.
Netra, his sister, was coming home after two years. She had been studying in Australia. In last few conversations with her, he had sensed some upheavals in her life. He was concerned, they were not just twins but best friends too. She kept saying she was okay, she will speak to him when she returns home.
The door bell rang and he rushed to open it. There she was standing, smiling despite being tired. He hugged her, how much he had missed her. She hugged him too wholeheartedly.
From behind her peaked a foreigner girl, smiling she said 'Namaste'.
He smiled and said, 'Namaste, to you too'
Netra looked flushed, 'Bhai, meet Samara my girlfriend.'
Instantly he knew just looking at his sister, what she had been holding up for so long.
Netra was searching his face for reaction. He opened the door wide, smiled his brilliant reassuring smile and said 'Welcome home, girls.'
