The Wed-lock

"Anaya come down"

I heard him shout from the kitchen.

It's better to go down before he comes up here again.

"Hot water first"

He said handing me a glass. I finished them in a second and gave it back to him.

"Good girl"

Just for that?

"Breakfast is ready. So what do you wanna eat first Anaya?"

There's food enough for the whole day on the table.

"We gave boiled eggs, cereal, salad, milk, cookies, toast and you have to finish all of them to make a proper diet"

All the things I hate are here on the table.

Except cookies.

"And if you want anything else just tell me. I'll bring them in a minute"

I just nodded at him and took the cookies and a toast. These are the only edible things in the table.

"What happened? Are you done?"

"Yes"

"You just took a toast and nothing else Anaya. You need to take proper food first"

"Eat these boiled eggs. They have great protein"

That's the last thing I would eat if the world ends.

"No I don't want to"

"Okay then drink this milk"

No way I'm gonna drink that. I never drank milk after I turned four I guess.

I just hate the smell and taste of it.

I shook my head.

"You can't say no to everything Anaya. You need to eat something"

"I don't...want to"

He looked at me for a minute and shook his head.

"If you drink the milk, I'll take you out somewhere"

"I don't want to go"

I went away saying that. I did want to go out but not by drinking that milk.

"Wait wait wait Anaya"

But I ignored it and left.

"I asked you to wait na"

He said holding me hand as i stood in my place.

"So?"

"Okay Don't eat"

"But on the next visit to the doctor, I'm sure she will make you stay there for another five days with more medicines"

"Let her"

I said and went away.

He stood there shook by my words.

I tightened my hold on the balcony rod as I started to feel dizzy.

I have been feeling like this since I left the hospital.

I sat down there as I started to loose my balance more.

I need to go inside and take a short nap I guess.

I pulled myself up and reached the bed after soo many trials.

As my body landed on the bed, I slept like nothings bothering me anymore.

I woke up and saw a worried face on nihal, sitting next to me.

"Anaya what happened? You slept for the whole day now. Is everything alright?"
