When We Were 17🌿

Chapter 14: The adoption...

"you know Anna, unless someone enters in our life there is no way that we can forget the one we had hold for so long." Sanu has always been an advisor both as a sister and friends through all 4 years of togetherness.

The untold answer...

"So, you are vegetarian? Not even egg?"

"Nope."simply a smile.

"Don't you feel bad that you couldn't have it even when feels like too?"

"That's fine. It got habituated now "

"Aric, I heard something about you and I wonder if it's true or not."

"What's that?"

"I heard like you lost your first love a few years ago. So,"

"Yes, you got it right."

Judging by his reaction, he really looks lost and it feels like he once again visited his past.

"I am sorry, it might be hard for you?"

"It's alright. Anyway, it's all a past."

As she closely looked at the back of the boy sitting in front of her who just turned around, it was bestie right Infront of her. It made her lost once again. Cheek on her right palm and was enjoying that very moment just to stare at him from behind. Though his ignorance used to hurt her, but her love won't end here.

In order to bring her back, he put a newspaper Infront of her blocking his back.

"Don't you have to study?"
Wow! to have a little brother is also a blessing in one's life for she was the youngest in her family and doesn't know how beautiful it will be to have younger sibling and now her three months younger brother is advising that indeed feels beautiful.

"Anna, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Why did you adopted me?"
The question left her dumb for a while. She didn't knew what to say or was it that she didn't want to tell the truth."

"Just like that only. Why? Can't I do that?" She hurriedly gave the answer not knowing what she was speaking.

"Haha..just asking." There he went scoffing at her again.

"Hey, stop your naughty smile."

April -16-2019...

"Aric, can I adopt you as my brother?"

"Haha..what a joke."

"Am not joking..am serious right now."

He stared at her for a while and laughed again...
"Is the word foolish being written on my forehead?"

"Actually, I wasn't joking right now but if you find it funny, then it's alright." As she was about to go, he ran over and caught her wrist making her turn back.

"Are you really serious?"

"Do you still think am kidding."

"No...but why? I mean we are of same class, so why this out of the blue?"

"Just like that only. I think you are a good person as I get to know you a little and wanted to know you more. Can't I do that?"

She actually found it very much guilty which seems like she was taking advantage of his innocence looking into his deep brown eyes but she wants to try what her friend suggested her a week before.

She wanted to completely forget bestie and wanted to be how she used to be before meeting him, she actually wanted to return to her old self and moreover, what she heard about Aric's past made her wanting to know him more. She didn't knew whether she was doing the right thing or not but that moment she just followed her instinct, let along the future.
