(01.04.35, After-noon) Sibling Rivalry (Nousha)

Rushil Ugra sat quietly in the courtyard of his ancestral home. His bloodline had been dwelling in the beautiful home for at least ten generations and he planned on having his kin dwell in it for another ten generations. The bench he was sitting on was probably at least fifty years older than his mother and father. He sipped his tea and reading Raya Nitti, his favorite publication. Raya Nitti, the current affairs magazine, was the only thing he read before he left for All That Glitters. It made him feel as if he was doing something productive with his time. He knew that he could be doing much more productive things than giving the club his patronage, but his reasoning was that he could be more productive when he was older. Being young was meant for partying and partying was meant for the young.

He leaned back on the pillar behind the bench and closed his eyes. Life was pretty good for the young Jagat-Natha. He had a wonderful family, a respectable job, and friends that would fill his home. He wondered what it would be like to have none of that, it wasn't a nice thought. His day-dream was broken by the voice of one of his young cousins, Alka, she was chasing her younger brother, Anik, around the courtyard. The sight brought him back to the days of his childhood, he remembered how close him and his sister used to be. What happened? Life had taken a toll on the siblings, separating them in the process. He wondered if they would ever bond again.
