| "Sibling Love" |
"How dare you disgrace the family name", Father thundered.
My sister refused to budge. She stalked out home. My father cut her face out of the family portrait.
I became the Golden Girl. Away from her shadow, I bloomed. Did all the things that made my family proud. And a bit more.
I had everything. But a void remained.
Years after becoming India's most loved actress, she chose to return home. The Family welcomed her back.
I am no longer the favourite daughter.
I am slightly jealous, but nobody can be happier for her than me. Her beloved younger sister.

Natasha - I really like this story! I love the way that you express traditional culture, sibling love and so much more in this Drabble. What an interesting perspective, too, on someone becoming famous :-).
Doesn't matter what we achieve if the family is incomplete.
Great story! I feel for the younger sister who finds herself in her sister's shadow once again however. It makes me wonder how it will effect her in time to come.
No matter what, sisters always have a special bond. Nice post!
Everything is incomplete without a family...
ooo, this is very good. I love the promotion that still isn't a replacement for the lost sister. Good one~ <3
I really like the story!! I could certainly use a few extra hours this week!
