Heart's too bleed

9) What love is

Alison pov -

" No mathew ! You shouldn't do that like this baby "  I told mathew .

" Let me tell u how it is done "  I said  and started doing it .

It was  7 in the evening and dark is every where outside . Mathew has to complete his project but he seems really confused , So here I am helping him . Sometimes school premises really give over work than students can take .

Soon we completed his project and he left to do his other work . I was sitting alone now , thinking nothing . I was looking here and there when my eyes fall on pair of couple in kitchen .

Mom and dad , both was helping eachother in preparing dinner . Don't get me wrong but my dad really cook well . Today he came little early and whenever he get free time he spend that with us or helping mom . This small gesture of him really melt my heart .

Like seriously , who does that in this time period . I have seen many marriage couple who  can't even give time to their partners . But my parents are not like  them , they care for each other very much .

My mom was cutting onions when her  eyes got teary and few tear drops land  on her cheeks . She was going to wipe it but  my father came and wipe it for her , and he  didn't ever let her do rest but did it for her himself .

These small moment , this care it makes a relationship perfect , isn't it ? When I look at them that undeniable bond is all I get to see . The way they understand each other , the way they care for  eachother , it's just amazing .

My mom told me that they weren't in love when to got married . It was an arranged marriage but then they fall in love with each passing day . The respect and love is all I get to  see in their eyes when they look at eachother .

I wonder if I ever get to experience this or not . I really admire them and their bond . If one is to fall , other instantly come to caught him or her  before they can fall . If one is in pain , tears flow from other's eyes , isn't this what we call love ?

If this isn't then I don't know what it is  .

" Kids come dinner is ready " mom's voice come and I back from train of my thoughts . I realised  I was still sitting in the same position without moving an inch .

                           *****

We just had our dinner few minutes ago . Mathew and dad already gone to sleep while mom is doing some leftover work .

And for me , I am sitting in backyard of my house . No one is here except me , maybe it's a bit cold today that's why .

Sometimes I thought is it me who is not like others or i am simply different from them . I am not saying I have some kind of supernatural powers or any but you know when I see other being happy , enjoying every movement of life I think why I can't be like them . Why I have to drawn in my own thoughts ,  infact I should live in  what's happening . Is it because I think too much .

I am Doing nothing but looking at the sky . There is no moon , no star only dark sky . How empty it's looking without moon and stars I thought .

Soon I heard a footsteps from behind and mom come and sit beside me .

" Honey , what are you thinking , it's late you should go to sleep . "  She said in her sweet tone .

" I don't feel like sleeping that's why I am sitting here " I said explaining .

" Mom ! Isn't this sky is looking empty today " " their is no star , no moom "
I asked her genuinely .

" No honey , the sky isn't empty " " the moon and stars are just hidden behind the veil of dark clouds but it doesn't mean they are not their " mom said explaining me .
