Past two days abey's been taking care of me.i stayed in the hut all day lying doing nothing.he bring me food and water to hut.to made sure im ok occasionaly he asks me about how im i doing... what makes me shock is he s cleaning my laundry for me...its a bit akward i mean i try to stop him but he refused to listen to me..im here not that strong to stop him so let that go.
After taking rest for a couple of days i felt ok..i thing now i can do my needs by myself so i took my cloths to wash it.I take a bath consciously to avoid any big fish attack due to my state. After taking a bath and clean my cloths I put the wet cloths into the top of the rock to let them dry..this is how we done our laundry..i turn myself facing confused abey...
"Hi.." i said with a genuine smile.
"What are you doing here? Why are you doing this? He asking pointed towards the wet cloths.
"Ahh..im ok now so i think it will be ok to do my daily routine by myself!!" I said.
He looked at me doubtfully.. "are you sure?" He asked me to make sure im ok.
"Come on...im perfect" i said assurably he nods with a small smile.
Suddenly he noitice something in me with a knitted brows "ahh...is that a snake?" He pointed behind me.. "what..?"i screaming jumped into his hands...
I felt his body tremble with laughter i saw him pointed behind me i followes his gaze where there is a sea cucumber...why i always fell for his bad jokes...i groaned..
"abey!!" I frowned at him he cant take his laughter back he and his jokes...i push him by his shoulder made him landed oh the sandy surface.
*****
We are trapped in this island for so long...what if no one came to rescue us...is this what write on my fate to count my days in this island... when ever we saw something like ship or boat we make a huge smoky fire so they could know someone needs help,but to our disappointment no crafts are came to rescue us yet which means no one still notice us.
Whenever i felt depressed or frustuated abey reassure me by telling positive things and gave me shoulders.. he may be a distance person but never forget to protect and make me feel safe...
"What are you thinking of?" Abey asked sits beside me..
If im telling him me worried about us trapped in this island he started fretted about comforting me.so i lie to him "uh..nothing " i said smiling.
He examine my face before gave a smiling nod and he started thinking of something.he sits with folded knee wrapped his hand around them..he looks like bad about something.abey sitting silently is not at all cool.
"Hey.." he called me..i gave him a questionable look before watching the ocean..
He exhale heavily before said "im sorry.."
"Sorry for what?" I asks..i dont why he is apologize coz he doing alot everyday sometimes he s been cocky to me, sometimes mean, sometimes doing prank on me..
"for being rude to you that day" he said looking plainly in the sand.i didnt know how to react.and abey being abey felt sorry for what he s done..i dont want to take advantage of this situation and ask why? What?blabla.what im knowing about is he is a very straight forward guy he just reflect his mood easily to us..whatever it is angry or crazy if he felt somehow that affects me..he never hesitate to ask forgiveness to me.
"Thats ok"i said smiled at him.he gave me a goofy grin.he is like a innocent toddler when he doing that.
"So how you feeling now? " he asks...god he and his protective manner..."very fine" i said turned to other direction smiled to myself ... its now ok for me him being protective over me..i like that he cares for me so much but he never forget to annoy me.
We both sit in silence when he start talking "so..you missing your family?" He asked me with a concerned tone.
I looked at him blankly by the sudden mention of my family the memories of them started running into my mind...
"So much..." i tell him...
"Do you have sibilings?" He asked..
I chuckled small "no im single child...mine is very small yet happy family..." i looked at him he listening to me with real interest. "Me,appa and maa and my friend anu...these are the only people in my life..i lived my whole life around them and when i decided to step out of them..fate drag me here...My father is the most wonderful human i have ever seen...he guide me in my toughest time...he supports me when i was broken...he always want me to be strong and brave..." i let out a sigh... "i want to show him that he grow me in a absolute good way and i just want to make my parents proud..."
My throat begen to hurt..i felt my eyes became blurry...i cannot continue talking about them...if im keep talking about them i end up crying...i press my finger slightly againts my eyes so i can stop the tears fell off...i think i take too much time i felt a hand behind me all the sudden that pull me into the warmth of abey,his hands wrapped around my small frame...now i cannot control myself i immediatly hugged him back and let my tears fell.i can feel his hold became tight when he hearing my sobbings.he never interrupt just patiently waiting for me to calm down..
I cried out every sorrow that stored in my mind.i felt so comfortable with abey.after appa i felt so safe around him.i let him go and sit straight i feel his hands on my side of the face direct me to face him when i looked at him a last drop of tear rolling in to my cheek he wipe the tear off by his thumb.he looks so concerned and worried for me "you will..your parents gonna be really proud of you...trust me soon you are gonna meet your parent..." he said and patted my head with a small smile...i dont know why but when he said that i want to trust his words...
Hope his words come true soon...but is he still be with me even after we escaped this island?
