The tale of two girls !
Ayesha rolled her eyes to the left to see her sister. In the past 72 hours she has come to love Banu's big eyes and the cute blush on her face. Cuddled close to her was Banu. She was staring at the invisible sky, with her palms put together in a praying pose. On the green bed, the cute pink babies resembled a blooming rose. Not just one, but two. God, if had created these babies would have been proud of his job. But well, he took his pay, the mother. Ayesha joined her 3 day old sister in her pose. She knew she would doing the same for the rest of her life, no the rest of their life. She touched her sister's face and felt a sense of affection, her first. She then giggled and joined her sister again in the pose. Banu was not just her blood sister. She was much more.
Ayesha and Banu grew up together. They ate together, slept together, prayed together, learnt to spell each others name together. They were inseparable, literally. Six years rolled in six years time(don't believe if someone tells you it happened in no time). Ayesha liked Ballet and Banu learnt it. Banu liked to read and Ayesha read for her. Both loved to make a prank and both did that from time to time on the kid next door, who really believed they were monsters. Poor kid, please don't get angry on him. Both of them wore the same clothes, both of them loved Tom and Jerry and both of them decided to go to school.
"Ayesha, do I look good ?", Banu asked Ayesha on the their first day of school. Both were standing in front of a six foot mirror and examining themselves. Banu was dressing her hair and Ayesha was putting on her shoes. "Of course, sis", replied Ayesha. "You look so beautiful". Banu blushed. "So do you !". She hugged Ayesha as best as she could. Ayesha impressed her lips of her little sister. Unlike all other kids who have a dramatic lead-up to first day of school, Ayesha and Banu had a calmer one. There was no crying. Parents did not have to run after the missing sock. Mom never had to burn her fingers while cooking and the father did not use his toilet cleaner to get a mouth wash. It definitely was a calm event. But not for long. Any kid who saw them ran for his/her life. No one wanted to speak to them let alone be their friends. Their schooling came an end when the headmistress saw them and fainted. The girls never went to school again.
"Why did she faint ?", Banu asked Ayesha innocently. They were standing in front of the mirror again. "Because, she has never seen a beautiful girl like you Banu !" Banu blushed her usual blush. "Was she not afraid of how we look?". "No ! She might have been surprised, but not afraid", Ayesha assured Banu. "How long will we be like this?". "Forever. Inseparable". Ayesha hugged her cute sister. "Then can we go play now ?". "Hide and seek. And only if you let me hide". "It won't take me long to find you"."Yes, You only have to look into a mirror", Ayesha grinned."I will count to ten". "Not before I hide". "You got all the time sis. One, two and ten".
"I will introduce you as white fairy", Ayesha told Banu. "And I will introduce you as my guardian angel". "Let's go". Both of the lifted the tail of their bride gowns and ran into a hall. It was their 14th birthday. The cute little babies had grown into tall young adolescents. They measured 5.8" head to toe and together weighed 270 pounds. They had had health problems over these 14 years, but did not affect their beauty. Any guy would have fell for them. Well, maybe not. It was a long birthday party which got longer when the 65 guests decide to sing the birthday song repeating happy birthday to you, a 14 times. Most of the guests fell in two categories, close relatives and few friends. Except one. He was tall, dark and handsome.
"Wasn't he cute?" Banu grinned. Ayesha felt the excitement too. They were back in front of their mirror, their 14 year pal."Yes he was and he kept staring at you !", Ayesha brushed Banu's blushing cheeks and laughed. "No, he was looking at you, dear sister", Banu teased Ayesha. "OK, let's ask this mirror man here !". "OK". "Hey friend, who was the guy staring at ? Me or my sister ?"."You !". "Are you biased towards me. I know well that he was staring at Ayesha !". "He might have, but he liked you more". "How do you know that you stupid mirror?". "Because I am your sister". "Won't you ever let me down ?". "Not in this life". "I love you Ayesha". "Me too Banu". The did what they did the best, cuddled with each other.
Lasers. The weapon of an surgeon of the twenty first century. Finally a way. A shot at normal life. "Do we have to do this?", Banu asked Ayesha. "Not, if you don't want to !". "I am not scared of death, but I am not sure I can live without you by my side". "I will still remain by your side and then there is Khalid. He loves you so much and with us like this, you will not be able to marry him". "Does he really love me ?". "Yes he does". "Thank you sis". Ayesha smiled.
So they were back again to where it all started. Ayesha rolled her eyes to the left to see her sister. She still loved her sister's big eyes and the cute blush. That blush had stayed on Banu's cheeks from the day she has known her. Cuddled near to her was Banu. She was staring at the invisible sky, with her palms put together. Ayesha knew Banu was praying for her. She as always joined her. She has been doing that her entire life. After all Banu was not just her blood sister. They were held together by affection, love and their heads. And they are going to be the first to undergo the head-separation surgery. Ayesha poked her sister and giggled.
That was the last time anyone saw them(Being the writer I am, I would have stopped this article right here. But I could not come to kill the 3 day olds who were born in my brain. So the next one word.), together.
