Something Different

Chapter 19: Attention.

Maylins POV:

"So linny as I was saying it isn't the same lately. Like it's too much!" I'm listening to Babu's constant complaints of his slow pace.

Like I don't know why he's even stressed up because of this. He's already old , sometimes I really think he tries too hard to get my attention that he makes silly excuses for me to start fussing over him.

This all started when I was too occupied with my other works that I forgot to pick him up from one of his monthly checkups. That was a mistake I know but ever since that day he's been trying to make up silly stuff to make me always check up on him .

Like he ordered some of his bodyguards to pick me up from my work at the library which I was just filling in for someone. I was so afraid that maybe he collapsed or something and when we reached home I practically ran like a mad woman to his room just to find him comfortably sitting on his couch watching some TV. He was just smiling at me like nothing happened.

Then today he said his whole system isn't working. Making me here on his side right now.

"Your vitals are all okay, your blood pressure is steady and blood sugar is level. And no Babu there is no other thing I haven't mis checked."

He looked at me with a very sad smile , I just set the folder aside and went to sit next to him. Then I said,

"Maybe there is something we haven't checked yet?" He looked up at me and asked,

"What?"

"If you still remember how to loose."
He smirked and said,

"Your funeral." And I stood up and went to the chess board.

We had three games which I deliberately lost twice and won once. Then I told him one of latest gossip about some tiktokers. Don't even ask , I got jasmine and summer as friends. I know it all, I then sang a song with him just like the old times. I could see the sparkle in his eyes like before.

After a wonderful afternoon we decided to watch a Netflix movie,
Pride and prejudice. Which resulted into I sleeping because I was damn tired.

When I woke up it was already late, I'm saying this because I don't see any sun outside it's completely dark. Plus Babu was also asleep. I moved him gently to the side because we were on his bed while watching the movie on his flat screen tv. And I guess I was leaning against him or something explaining this position how I'm hugging his kinda weak torso.

I slowly got up not wanting to wake him up and went to check on my phone the time, it's already 8pm. Did I sleep for that long?

I remembered I got nothing to do tomorrow so why not sleep in, it's quite cozy being with Babu. He's like a weak baby that needs comforting and love just so cute.

Since I decided to sleep in I need a change of clothing. I can't sleep in with my jeans on plus my hair would be a tangled jungle in the morning. So while I was thinking of where to get some of my clothing accessories and hair items a voice spoke up,

"Linny are you leaving?" I turned around kinda shocked he was awake. Then I smiled at him and said,

"No Babu I'm sleeping in but I'm just thinking where I can get a change of clothing."

"That's easy I asked Nanny Clara a while ago to make one of the guestrooms your own room filled with all types of clothing from all brands that are your size." My eyes went wide.

"Why and when and how did they get my size?"

"Why because you sleeping in would be usual I don't expect my granddaughter leaving late at night after helping me what if something bad happens to you. I would never forgive myself, when it was last week I think. How did they get your size I don't know, you ladies know your ways ."
