Brimming with Love

#8

"Don't ever mention that incident to me. See I'm getting goosebumps." Mom showed her hands, her hair erects up so straight.

"You were a teenager then. I still can't believe how hard you struggled even at that age." She sighed

I had no expression just a dampened smile as I realize that those struggles were for nothing except the fact that Icy's with me.

"What was your age then?" She asked me

Without a thought, I replied, "14 years old"

"Hey, are you telling the truth, I thought you were 15 or 16 something"

I raised my brows "SIXTEEN that's too much, I remember it was three days left for me to turn 15 and the day Icy turned 15. Everything changed after that day. HER BIRTHDAY!" I Fixed my eyes on her hands and didn't even blink.

"When is her birthday dear?" She asked while wiping the dust from my face

"Ma it's May 13th"

"Oh, 3 days older than you" she scoffed at me I know she knows her birthday. We celebrated her birthday every year since when we were 5 years old.

"Ma, why are you acting like you don't remember anything" slightly annoyed by her silliness.

After that, I stood up and she grabbed my hand and made me sit again.

Stared her with a poker face "what again ma"

She wants me to complete yesterday's story. At first, I refused her saying I'm sleepy and I'm gonna nap for a few hours. She was adamant, So I told her, "Ma. It was around 12.30 pm. His head was injured. We couldn't eat anything. We all were stressed about him." My Lip curved down

"At times we called James sir and he informed us everything about him. It spreads so fast, Everyone at the university began to talk about this and they become curious and they were collecting information from us. We were too busy telling them about everything. The day went off just like that. James sir said he was still unconscious but doctors were saying that he'll be fine. We hoped for his speedy recovery. Ken hurt her legs too. Icy took care of her legs by giving her first aid. Icy alone still couldn't forget how scared he was and laughed crazily looking at Ken and me. That scene was so dramatic that she couldn't control herself after knowing he was all fine and again thinking about it made her laugh crazily. We find it funny too" I laughed

"After that James sir called me and he said he wants to be with her daughter. His daughter seems to be given birth to a child. So immediately asked one of us to take care of him. We discussed it and Sravani and Rags were ready to go to the hospital to help him out there. They both went to spend their nights there. Mom, I told them I would take care of him, but then our little prince aarif want me to pick him up so I had no choice. I went, picked him up, and came home."

"I couldn't sleep all night thinking about him, so the first thing I thought in the morn is to see him. So went early there and made Srav and Rags eat breakfast and I told them to leave and take a rest as they seemed so tired"

"And he didn't wake up till 9am " I stopped when I heard aarif's voice, my little brother.

"Sri, where are you?" He searched for me

I ran to the bathroom and hide there to tease him.

He asked my mom "where is she? mom. I heard her voice. Is she in the home?"

My mom didn't say anything.

I came out and scared him. He hit me and hugged me. He got scared.

He grabbed my hands tightly.

"You didn't talk to me properly since yesterday. Why Sri, anything happened?"

I shook my head indicating nothing.

"I overheard your call. who is Arsh, Sri?"

*How do I tell him?*
