On the verge of tears, Art stammered, "S-S-Siva I swear to you I-I didn't mean to, I-I-I grabbed it and it flashed and, next thing I knew it was on the ground like this I'm so so so Sorry."
Siva was dumbfounded, she remained silent for a minute. Art’s beating heart was probably the only sound in the room, It’s pace increased only when Siva’s emotions began to be illustrated.
Her eyebrows slowly furrowed as the realization kicked in. Both fists clenched, her braced teeth grinded one another, her heart was a melted pot of emotions; rage, confusion, anger, sadness, lost, distraugh.
Siva and Art grew up never physically harming each other, although Siva would win anyways. However, they never had to Siva
knew more efficient means to hurt somebody anyways.
“You think excuses and lies are the only thing you can come up with right now?”
“Siva, please, you gotta believe me, I didn’t mean to.” Art pleaded, snot smearing her face, crying uncontrollably like a baby, gasping with every wail.
“Why do you hate me so much? What did I do to make you so angry? Is that why you come with me every time I come to this shop, you went looking before I even did. What did I do to deserve this? What makes you thin-?”
“That is enough Siva.” A voice boomed from behind her, It was Mr. BP “Art you may go, please get yourself cleaned up.” His voice
now authoritative, but with the familiar soft texture behind it.
“Siva.” Her name coming from his voice caused shivers. She was ready for him to scold her for acting out or tell her to apologize to Art, which she wasn't ready to do just yet. But none of that was the case, it was one word, “Please.” He said, with sincerity. His eyes represented concern, empathy, but most of all love.
Without saying anything, Siva knelt, revealing her strongest emotion at the moment. Sadness. She let out a silent ugly cry. As her hands touched the floor a piece of the shattered device, made contact with her finger. A milky sensation washed over her. Her eyes now wide
but all she saw was a pearl white washing washing over her. She almost pulled her hand away until she saw her Dad.
