In a parallel world

childhood sweethearts

Years passed by
Emma is 10 years,6 months old and George is 12
Emma's POV:
"But cupcake it was your dream." I heard him say
"I know G ,but I am unable to manage multiple hobbies. So I had to give up on this "
(Author's Note : yes they have given each other nicknames )
"Oh come on cupcake you have been saying this for the past 3 years. "
I just gave him a weak smile.
They he held my shoulder gently and made me sit on the bench.
" Okay so what if I give you 61 key electronic keyboard ? "
"Whattttt?" I screamed in shock.
This can't be real,I thought .
"Come with me " he took me to our favourite hangout spot.
Then G held my hand and smiled at me.
He pointed towards the sky and suddenly I saw lights shining brightly followed by a loud sound.
"Happy birthday Em" the firecrackers made a beautiful pattern .
I gasped again and hugged him.
He patted my back . Just then mine and his family arrived.
They all wished me and I hugged All of them.
The G took a bag from his mother's hand.
I didn't notice the bag as I was overwhelmed by emotions .
He asked me to sit down and then gave me the bag.
As I opened it ,I gasped.  IT WAS A REAL KEYBOARD. A 61 KEY ELECTRONIC KEYBOARD.
I ALWAYS PLAYED WITH THE TOY KEYBOARD AND NOT THE REAL ONE.
I was very happy. I gave him another hug and thanked him multiple times.
Then the statement from G's mom gave me another shock. Tears welled up in my eyes.
I could feel myself melting.
She said " Happy Birthday dear. Do you know that George saved his 3 years of pocket money to buy this for you?"
My voice was cracking . "Re..allyy?" I managed to ask. He nodded and then I smiled. And held his hand.
And like that I resumed playing and even gave stage performances. G cheered me up.
~Few more years pass by ~
I am now in 11th grade  and have choosen arts stream.G choose PCM but stayed in Thrissur while I moved to Banglore as I liked one particular school there. It was a difficult  descision, I missed him and his family badly.
But at the same time I'm happy to reunite with my dad. Finally me,mom and dad are at the same place after many many years. And I soon found someone who went on to become my emotional support. I met a girl named Pranavi in school. our vibe and humour matched so we became best friends.
I told her about G and she was happy to hear that and even hinted that he might have a crush on me. Infact I had a crush on him but I wasn't sure about his feelings towards me. Pranavi always feeds my delusions and encourages me to confess my feelings to him. But I'm scared to ruin our friendship so I am keeping quiet.
