June 11 arrived faster than anyone expected.

The house was filled with bags, books, and neatly folded clothes. Everyone was busy helping Arjun prepare for his first day at the hostel. But his younger sister, Aisha, sat quietly in a corner, watching.

For years, Arjun had been her best friend. They fought over the TV remote, shared snacks in secret, and stayed up late telling scary stories. Now, he was leaving.

That evening, the sky turned orange as the sun began to set. Arjun found Aisha sitting on the terrace.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNrDd0OjND
"Why are you sitting here alone?" he asked.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3KliEkZqJ
Aisha looked away. "Nothing."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzLvJMvL4Q
Arjun sat beside her. "You're going to miss me, aren't you?"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghH4QJBWD2
Aisha tried to smile. "No."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin8XIF32m8
But her voice shook.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi6ja2P2GW
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOqACdZLnh
Then Arjun pulled out a small notebook from his pocket.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PDpwyrumE
"What's that?" Aisha asked.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrkWxzwxES
"It's for you."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb9E2Udbwi
She opened it. On the first page was written:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCuaRiFXXM
'For the days you miss me.'
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLsHEQAemV
The next pages were filled with little notes.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgwa58MW3p
"If you're sad, read page 10."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2eRKvnh0j
"If Mom scolds you, read page 22."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOAOLQT1bP
"If you miss our ghost stories, read page 35."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPef8dUvm9M
Aisha's eyes filled with tears.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ3ZItxgGt
"You made this for me?"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu7wklsoSo
Arjun nodded.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8tkmql8Eg
The next morning came too quickly.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kH8ytXXsu
The car stood outside the house. The bags were loaded. Everything was ready.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42jPTnUhz7
Everyone said their goodbyes.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXym9809gY
Aisha stood silently near the gate.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMXACBa5T9
Arjun walked over and gently patted her head.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPSU8VMOut
"I'll come back during holidays."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd06H4E6Ju
"What if you make new friends and forget me?" she whispered.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7kY7EW2oy
Arjun smiled.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB9JglWTNN
"Impossible."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksNzTNbHrb
He pointed at her heart.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSJlJfYyDr
"As long as I'm here, I'll never forget you."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6StnXPWs0
A tear rolled down Aisha's cheek.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p7mwQzBaU
The car started moving.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPcLflJTTk
She waved until the car became a tiny dot on the road.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU8PebVZWi
Then it disappeared.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLUd4WZZ9l
For the first time, the house felt strangely quiet.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINwTkXb29z
That night, Aisha opened the notebook and turned to page 10.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJU9QKbAnB
It said:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZilatkbkm
"Distance can change where we are, but it can never change who we are to each other."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrGvooF6I2
Aisha smiled through her tears.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhiJqMt7zh
Her brother was far away.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcBwRoS8Dr
But he was still with her.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5Hhdth4hu
