The 1:00 am confession !

the plan

We had called Nidhi's school and made sure her principal was informed . And then we looked for a  good course that would interest Nidhi . She loved fashion and we asked her whether she would want to join the fashion institute in Bangalore, and she agreed.
Though it was a few weeks after the course began, we were able to persuade the head of department.
That evening, I resigned my job.
It was difficult but I guess, I had to do so.
Ryan decided not to leave his work.

Nidhi was fast asleep and it was just 7 in the evening. Ryan and I went to the police station near our place and informed about dad and Neil. They took every detail and asked us to get Nidhi the next day.
I wasn't ready for that, but I guess I had to do so. The police said they would take the quickest action possible and would not let us down, just the way every policeman would've said. I still couldn't stop but wonder if at all it would have been safe for the decision we took. And would they really help us out?
Later that night we reached home and had dinner. We discussed about what I would do because it wouldn't be easy for the three of us to just be dependent on one person.
I had always been able to adjust to every situation and so I decided start a few classes at home.

The coming day was a Sunday and all of us were home. We discussed this idea with Nidhi too, as we had breakfast. She was glad to hear it and she was really positive over the few days. I was glad to have seen this change in her.

I cleared up the table and then switched on the TV. Ryan was sitting there with me too .
Nidhi appeared from her room.

"I'm unable to sleep," she said.
"Come here, wanna sleep on my lap?" I asked her and she came running.
I gave her a hug and made sure she was safe.
I sang her favourite Taylor Swift song to her, back to December.

While she was asleep Ryan and I thought about the plans for me.
We decided I'd start creative writing classes as that was my area.
And I agreed.

                        ****
We had actually moved in together ?
I asked myself almost thrice.
I couldn't believe it.
I never trusted live in relationships or anything to do with it. But it was happening.
How would this go. Was Ryan also planning to get married soon, or he thought there still was time?
I just wondered to myself as I slowly fell asleep.

I saw that dream again, rainbows, unicorns, waterfalls, gardens and what not. This time an angel too.

It was mother.
And then I was back to reality.
