**A SILENT BALCONY, A HIDDEN HEART** SHRUTI HAASAN, MY ELDER COUSIN FROM MY FATHER’S SIDE, WAS KNOWN IN THE FAMILY AS THE COLD, DISTANT ONE. WORKING AS A FASHION DESIGNER AND TRENDSETTER, SHE CARRIED A QUIET, GOTHIC AURA THAT MADE PEOPLE MISUNDERSTAND HER. WHILE OTHERS KEPT THEIR DISTANCE, BELIEVING SHE WAS RUDE, I ALWAYS FELT THERE WAS KINDNESS BENEATH HER SILENCE. THAT EVENING, DURING A FAMILY GATHERING, THE HOUSE WAS FILLED WITH LAUGHTER AND NOISE, YET SHE STOOD ALONE ON THE BALCONY, WATCHING THE FADING LIGHT. I NOTICED THE WAY SHE HELD HERSELF—NOT WITH PRIDE, BUT WITH A CERTAIN LONELINESS NO ONE ELSE SAW. AS I STEPPED CLOSER, I REALIZED SHE WAS NOT AVOIDING PEOPLE OUT OF ARROGANCE, BUT OUT OF HABIT, BUILT FROM YEARS OF BEING MISUNDERSTOOD. IN THAT QUIET MOMENT, SHE SEEMED LESS LIKE THE DISTANT FIGURE EVERYONE BELIEVED HER TO BE, AND MORE LIKE SOMEONE WAITING, PERHAPS HOPING, FOR JUST ONE PERSON TO SEE HER AS SHE TRULY WAS.
