Don’t Stars Shine?

Apr 06, 2023

       About thirty minutes later I heard a noise behind me and when I turned around I saw two people that I couldn't recognize but looked familiar. There was a tall one and a short one, the short one was still taller then me though. The taller one looked like he was maybe in his thirties, I could barely see his wide blue eyes from his long brown hair, he looked in disbelief. As I analyzed him, the shorter one ran over to Astro. Tears were running down his face, and he looked very shaken up. "No..... this can't be true... it can't." He wept. Even though I can't recognize him, I guess he was very close to Astro. 

       As I was looking at him with tears in my eyes, I felt a hand touch my shoulder and I quickly moved away. It was the taller guy, he looked at me with tears in his eyes. He was silent for a second. "Hey Aruna..." he said softly. I was confused how he knew my name, I guess he is a relative of mine, maybe the other guy is too since they look so similar. "This is not the way I thought I would see you again..." He said. He looked away from me sadly and looked at the wall. I stared at him and remembered I saw a photo of him before, or someone how looked exactly like him, Astro said it was dad. Could this be dad? I looked over to the other person. And if that is dad, could that be him? 

       The shorter guy turned to me and hugged me tightly. "Aruna.....I know you probably don't remember me but I am your brother, Ravi. I am sorry this happened. But everyt-" Ravi was interrupted by getting yanked away from me. "Now what do you think you are doing?!" Diana asked with a fake smile on her face. "Oh? I didn't know I wasn't allowed to talk to me sister now, Diana." Ravi said with an annoyed expression. "Yeah, you don't. Why would you?" Diana said as she looked at Ravi with a bitter smile. Ravi looked at Diana, heated. But dad pulled him back. "Don't fight her. There's no point in doing that." Dad whispered to Ravi. Dad stared at Diana with a annoyed expression and looked away. Diana dragged me out of the hospital and back into the car. She didn't say anything to me, but I could tell she wanted to. 

       Once we got home I walked into the house and upstairs. I collapsed onto my bed and rolled up into a ball. A tear rolled down my cheek as I realized that he's actually gone. Forever.....And there absolutely nothing I can do about it....I started bawling my eyes out. 
      Just why? Why did he do it? How did I not notice it sooner? I am a terrible sister. I could have helped him, but I was too worried about myself......This is all my fault...If I was there for him, as much as he was there for me, he probably would still be here....How could I be so selfish....? 

       I was maybe there for a few hours just lost in thought, blaming myself, wondering what should I do, and wondering what's going to happen next. Until I heard a knock on the front door. "Get the front door, Aruna!" Diana yelled. I signed and got up. I don't know why she is so lazy, she literally is closer to the door and still she yells for me to do it. I walked downstairs and opened the door anyways. It was Lin. "Oh, hi Lin." I said softly. "Hey, I need to talk to Astro about som-" Lin stopped what she was saying once she looked at me. I looked like an absolute mess and it looks I have been crying for hours, which I was, so it was no surprise she was concerned. "Oh my god, what happened dear?!" Lin asked worriedly. I just looked down to the ground and felt a tear fall from from my eye. I didn't want to tell her that her boyfriend just died but she deserves to know. I raised my head up. "Can we go to your place to talk about it...?"  I asked her. She looked at me confused for second. "Yeah, whatever works." Lin responses. She put her arm on my shoulder and closed the door behind me. We got into the car and started driving. "Hey, did Diana do something to you again?" Lin asked. "No....it wasn't her this time." I responded. "Then why do we need to go to my house to talk about what's happening?" Lin asked, troubled. ".....you'll find out." I said. She looked at me anxiously. "Oh, ok....."

Most stars have an amazing life that is perfect and filled with happiness from the start, but not this one

Aruna is an elf who was born into a broken household. Her parents didn’t have the best relationship with each other, and got a divorce when Aruna was that age of two. Aruna and her older brother, Astro, stayed with their mother, Dina. And Aruna’s other brother, Ravi, when with their father. Aruna has not seen either of them since. Diana was very abusive towards Aruna and Astro, mentally and physically. But the whole time Astor protected Aruna as much as he could. But it got to a point where Astro ended his own life. Aruna could bear to stay there for any longer there alone with Diana. Aruna ran away from home, with no other choice, she went to Lin’s house.

Aruna has to live with the trauma of everything she has went through. She feels like everything is going wrong and she is desperately trying to be happy, even if it’s just for a bit.
