You Could be the ONE

...Mehar....

Being back is just so magical. Yup I just returned from India, I had my training there. Opps I forgot to introduce you,

I am Mehar Anderson, I sail, I am a captain, yup I am half Indian, basically my mom is an Indian and my dad is from London, they fell in love and got married, it was my Dad's second marriage, his first wife had died long back and yes I had an elder brother Ryder Anderson, who is now an advocate and runs a successful law firm. Actually I am his step sister but we have been close always, I am around 5 years younger to him and I am my fathers princess, so basically I have all I ever want. Ryder has always treated me as his daughter and yes I am blessed to have him, so this is one of the reasons why I am here in Australia to meet my brother rather than in London with my parents, they probably don't even know I am back. If you ask why Ry is in Australia, then its because of two reasons, first he has his firm here and second my father disowned my brother, Initially he was angry on him as he decided to become a lawyer as Ry's mom was a lawyer and her profession was one of the reasons for her death and to add on it my brother decided to get married to a town side baker, not that I mind Natalie is a sweetheart and my mom too loves her. So this eventually led dad to disown Ryder. Deep down he still misses him and I am just trying to find one way to get my brother back in the family.

Getting back to the present as I was driving to my brother's residence I saw a man standing on the bridge ready to jump. I went up to him and yup I did get him down, for that I had to lie that I was here to suicide only but I guess if that saved him then its worth it. At that moment if looks could kill I would be seven feet down the ground.

Later I reached at my Brother's place and started ringing the bell like a maniac. I know I am about to get shouting's but seriously who cares.

"Mehar Vinnie Anderson, I will kill you." I heard my brother's ruffling from the other side of the door and started laughing because I knew it was far from truth. My brother loved me more than anything in the world, he wouldn't even let a regular fever pass by without 7 check up from different doctors each.

He opened the door revealing himself and I hugged him right at that moment, come on I saw him after 5 freaking years. He hugged me right back with the same force.

"I missed you." He said

"You better do." I stated and pushed him entering the house and leaving the luggage for him.

"I am not your pick up boy Mehar."

"Keep telling that to yourself, Ry."

"Natalie, Nat, NATALIE RYDER ANDERSON." I shouted expecting a response from my sister-in-law.

"She ain't at home Mehar."

"Where is she?" I asked.

"We are not together anymore" he replied shrugging his shoulders.

If he actually said what I heard then I am so going to kick him

"Come again?"

"We are not together anymore"

And my dear friends when I said I will kick him I meant every word so I did just that.

"Ouchh, what?" he shouted

"Why?" I asked with a higher pitch.

"Because she killed my God damn Child Mehar. She had a freaking abortion without me knowing" he said that and broke down in sobs.

I knelt down while I made him sit on the sofa.

"Relax, Ry, I am here. I promise you I'll make every thing right."

"You can't get my child back." He said in a low tune.

I knew I couldn't but the least I could do was get them back together and I would do exactly that.

---------NEXT DAY---------

I got up early and saw that the breakfast was already set on the table with a note from my brother. He had a meeting so he left. Taking the advantage of this situation I called the cab after breakfast and got ready. At work I always had to wear an uniform so I made the most of time when I could wear casuals. I got dressed in a rugged jeans and a black crop top. I wore my regular canvas with them and picking up my phone and wallet I left for "Nat's corner" it was my sister-in-laws bakery. It always had a fresh feel. As I got inside a waitress asked me for my order,

"What can I get you Ma'am?"

"Natalie."

"Sorry?"

"Ohh, I mean I am here to pick Natalie, can you please tell her Mehar is here."

"Actually she isn't here." She replied.

"Where is she?"

"In the hospital, look I can't tell you everything, this is her hospital address, go meet her."

I hurried to the hospital praying that Natalie was fine, when I got to the hospital I just rushed to her room and there she was lying on the bed. Her doctor had just come out so I asked him the matter and he said that she has committed suicide and that she was going into depression.

Furious, I went to her room, locked the door and asked, "Having Fun?"

She was shocked to see me there but covered her emotions quickly.

"So, how my little Captain?" She asked.

"Cut the crap and tell me what's the matter." I said.

She knew better than to fight me. We have practically grown up together. Her father was Dad's manager.

And so begun the story...
