My mom and I talked for a while about my major and life.
"It's getting late now Great, let's go back" I said.
"Okay, I'll go start the car" he replied and walked out.
"Can't you stay here for today?" mom asked and held my hands, she was looking at me, her eyes were so sad and tears were almost falling.
"I have so many classes tomorrow mom, I must attend. I promise you to come in the semester break next week. I'll stay for the whole month break." I replied her
"Okay, you promised" she said and hugged me so tight.
"Goodbye for now" I answered and went to the car.
...
A week has passed, we finished the exams and it was the semester break time.
Great showed up at my faculty to pick me up, he wanted to drink some coffee so we went to the café next to my faculty. As we entered there I remembered that I've seen Great there before when I was a high school student; I used to go study there with my tutor and I saw him every time sitting on that one table in the corner reading a book while drinking a cup of coffee.
"What do you want to drink, Bhu?" he asked me nicely.
"I want a cup of iced coffee please" I answered.
"Oh iced coffee, as I know, the person who likes drinking iced coffee tends to be calm and cool." He said and ordered for the both of us.
"Am I cool Great?" I asked while acting cute.
"Yes, you're cool and cute, I mean... so adorable" he replied and pinched my cheeks.
"Ouch! Wait I'm not cute" I said with a grumpy face.
"haha okay, let's go sit there" he said while giggling.
When we finished our coffee we directly got in the car and went to mom's place.
...
She welcomed us and we sat in her beautiful garden, we talked for hours before a handsome and tall guy came.
"My dear Bhu, that's your brother Toey." Mom said.
"Nice to meet you Bhu" He said.
"Nice to meet you too" I replied.
As soon as he saw Great sitting, he walked towards him and sat next to him. He was staring at him all the time while talking. I felt bad inside, he was way too close to him.
"Great, I will go up tidy our room" I said and walked away.
"I will come with you" Great replied and ran after me.
It was dinner time, we all were helping mom prepare the food, Toey started touching Great and getting closer to him. Great didn't seem comfortable at all and kept looking at me.
I felt that my body temperature and heart rate have increased, I was so angry inside but I stayed quiet not saying anything.
"Bhu are you okay?" mom asked worried "you don't seem okay my dear"
"I am okay, my stomach hurts a little" I answered.
"Do I make you something warm? Go get some rest my dear" she added.
"No, I'm fine, I will be okay." I said with an angry voice.
Great tried to walk towards me but Toey kept hugging and stopping him but I stayed silent all the time trying not to embarrass myself and start a fight. I stopped what I was doing and sat on the chair daydreaming and trying to control myself.
"Can you stop?!" I yelled and pushed my so called brother away from Great and stood in front of him glaring at him. "Did he allow you to touch him?! NO! STOP!"
"Who are you to tell me what to do?" Toey replied.
"What I am is none of your business; you only need to know that you can't touch this man ever! And stay away from him he is not yours!" I yelled at him, I was feeling way too furious and my heart was beating so fast.
"I will make him mine if I want to" he replied.
"No you won't!" I replied.
"Madam" Great said.
"Yes?" she replied.
"I'm sorry but I don't think Bhu and I will be able to eat dinner with you tonight" he added.
"Why? We wanted to be all together tonight." She answered.
"Something important came up, I need to take Bhu somewhere and we'll be back later tonight. Don't wait for us on dinner" he answered, grabbed my hand and ran out of the house.
I was so shocked; I didn't imagine he would do that.
"Great! Stop! Wait a minute!" I yelled while following him. "Where are we going?"
"I want to be with you alone, I need to talk to you about something." He said.
We walked on the seaside, the sand was a little bit cold and the air breeze was so soft. Great suddenly sat on the sand.
"Come sit next to me, Bhu" he said and smiled softly so I sat next to him.
"Are you feeling cold?" he asked.
"No, I'm okay... Great, tell me what's wrong?" I said and looked at him.
"Do you think someone should confess to the person they love?" he asked while staring at the dark sky.
"Yes, but I don't think it's that easy for them to confess... maybe they're scared of losing them because that person means the world to them?" I replied "Why are you asking P?"
"Before I met that person, I didn't think love was for me. I thought it was something only in fairy tales, I didn't believe in it. Since the day that I met that person I started to believe in love, I knew that love means wanting to always be close to that person, protect him, make them feel happy at any cost. Everything he does; the way he eats or smiles, the way he says my name every time... I adore it. That person never leaves my mind and I'm always thinking of how I can be closer to him and tell him how much I love him. That person changed me a lot... I started taking of myself more, I worked harder to be a better version of myself just for him. I really want to let him know how much I love and appreciate him, so I tried everything I could and express my care and love for him indirectly..." he stopped for a while and looked right into my eyes. "But I don't know if he feels the same, what if I told him and lost him because of this?"
"What if this guy loves you back?" I replied while looking at him trying to convince myself that he was talking about me, I felt anxious because what if I was thinking wrong.
"Does he?" he asked and put his face closer to mine.
