I is for Inny

 

“We land tomorrow 4 am. I can`t wait to be home!!!”

Inny did a little jig when she saw Mini`s text. Well, much as she hated her sister, there were days when her heart ached for her Mini. Of course, she would never tell her that. 8 months back Mini married Amit and they went off to Singapore. It was such a whirlwind affair. They had met at some party and then just hit off. Trust Mini to do that. I mean she has always had guys following her like puppies and Amit was no different. Only this time the puppy seemed to have caught her fancy. So much that she said yes, the minute he popped the question just 3 months into their courtship. Most of which was online mind you.

Ma had been going crazy with her preparations. This was the first time Amit would be staying with them-for a whole week. Inny was to  move in Ma`s room- after all Mini now had a new partner.

 “Innyyy” Mini squealed the second she reached home. Inny laughed and did a little jig, She hugged Mini tight and looked warily at that groggy Amit.  He hugged her awkwardly. She felt his arm brush her chest and  she tried to wriggle away.

“Inny why do you look so shabby? You haven`t changed your clothes in a while?”

“No.I don`t want to.”

“Inny- what happened. Someone has been troubling you, my doll?”

Inny`s eyes welled up and she sobbed uncontrollably. Mini knew her so well. She  wanted to hold on to  Mini and never just never let her go. Her body wracked as she whispered, “Amit.”

“What about Amit?” Mini asked gently

" He took you away….”

“Shhh don`t worry.” Mini hugged her tight. The sobbing subsided. "I am here now. Come." Mini gently led her into the bedroom.

 Inny`s heart thumped thunderously as felt the room closing on her

“I can`t breathe Mini…”

“Shhh”. Mini spoke soothingly. “I am here only Ok.” She patted Inny and gently pushed her on the bed. " Come on Sweety. Deep breath. I am here. Come on. Deep breath."

Inny nodded. She felt a wave of calm washing over her as her breath settled.

“Now will you eat this for me?”  said Mini after a few minutes and  held out a couple of pills.

Then it dawned. So now Mini had sided up with Ma. Her eyes widened as her throat  closed again.

Inny whimpered. She pushed Mini and ran out in the balcony. Mini sighed and called out, : Inny, sweety please...."

There was a sickening thud. Mini froze. She knew. It was time up.
