Family

Riley's POV

" She is your grandma?" I asked Josh.

" Yes. What's wrong?" He asked me.

" No. Nothing wrong actually." I said and waited for Mrs. Schwartz opening her eyes.

Bryan was waking her up. I kept looking at her. She was looking a bit weaker. I sighed.

" What happened to her?" I asked Josh.

" Still don't know. Suddenly lost her senses." Josh said and I nodded.

" What did the doctor say?" I asked him. " I mean what do you think has happened?"

" May be BP shoot. She has BP problem. " He said.

" Oh, nothing else? " I asked him.

" I don't think so. Let's see what the reports says." He said.

" Yeah. Tell me then." I said.

" Suddenly you are so interested about my grandma?!" He asked and I rolled my eyes.

" Because she is sweet lady not like you." I said.

" What do you mean by not like me? " He asked me.

" Not a Naga Viper like you." I said and he rolled his eyes.

" Stop calling me that. You are really weird." He said.

" I am not at all weird. But that Naga Viper matches you perfectly. You are always hot temper like Naga Viper." I said to him.

" Did you ever taste Naga Viper?" He asked me.

" No. But I heard about it. Once Cindy and Ann tasted it. They told me how they survived after that. It was a real struggle." I said and he sighed.

" Did you taste me? Then how do you know that I am like Naga Viper? " He asked me.

" Because you are a short temper guy. Your anger always remains on the bay. Whenever something happens it comes out automatically. You yourself don't know how does that happen all the time." I said. He rolled his eyes. 

" There are they." Bryan's voice made us look at him. I found Mrs. Schwartz has opened her eyes. I walked towerds her smilingly.

" Hi, Mrs. Schwartz." I said and she smiled looking at me.

" RD, you? Here?" She asked me and I sat next to her.

" Yeah. I heard someone is very sick. This why I had to come to see her." I said to her and she chuckled.

" I am fine. Josh always gets too much tensed. Everything is fine." She said.

" If everything was fine then you wouldn't be here in the hospital, right? " I asked her.

" Just lost my sense somehow." She said.

" What do you mean by somehow? " I asked her. She chuckled.

" Leave it. Where is Ann?" She asked me.

" Aren't you happy seeing me? " I asked her and she chuckled.

" Nothing like that. I am very very happy to see you. Just was asking about Ann." She said.

" She is with Mr. & Mrs. Ambrosio." I said.

" Who are they? " She asked me.

" They are our neighbors. They have got a little cute baby boy awhile back. She is there with them." I said.

" Oh, Great. Is she helping them?" She asked me.

" Yes." I said and told her what happened. She nodded.

" You guys are really very nice." She said. I chuckled.

" Actually, Mr. & Mrs. Ambrosio helped us a lot when we had shifted the new apartment their nextdoor. So, it was our responsibility to help them." I said. She nodded.

" Even if they didn't help you, you guys would have helped them." She said.

" Ahann, so sure? " I asked her.

" Yes, quite a lot." She said and I chuckled.

" Alright. How are you feeling now?" I asked her.

" Quite better." She said and gestured Josh and Bryan to sit next to her. " How did you know that I am here?" She asked me. I sighed.

" What will I say?! Josh has kidnapped me." I said 😝😝😝😝😝😝😂😂😂😂😂😂 and Josh rolled his eyes.

" Really? " She asked me playfully.

" No, actually Josh was there in the OT helping the other doctors in Mrs. Ambrosio's delivery. I saw him there. He told me that his grandma is admitted here too. He brought me to meet you but I didn't know that it's you." I said.

" Really? How do you know Josh?" She asked me.

" She is my friend. I didn't know you were talking about her that day." Josh said.

" Yes, it's her." Mrs. Schwartz said.

" And Bryan said I am a run away patient of any mental asylum. Though I didn't mind but still he said that without any reason." I acted a bit innocent. 😇😇😇😇😇😂😂😂😂😂. Bryan glared at me.

" Really? You said that to her, boy? Where are your manners? Say sorry to her." Mrs. Schwartz said.

" No, no. It's ok." I said and Bryan rolled his eyes.

" It's not ok. Say sorry to her, Bryan Schwartz." She ordered him.

" Sorry." Bryan said rolling his eyes again. I chuckled inwardly.

" It's ok. I didn't mind. I didn't mind at all. Even when Josh said I have mental issues." I said. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😉😉😉😉😉😉

" What?! Josh!!!" Mrs. Schwartz said. I was laughing so hard inwardly but kept putting on a very innocent face.

" Sorry. I will not say that again." Josh said and I smiled innocently.

" It's ok." I said. " Friends can make fun of each other. If they won't make fun then who will? I didn't mind. Trust me. I didn't mind at all." I said and Josh rolled his eyes. I know I am evil.

" Very well." Josh gritted.

" You need rest, Mrs. Schwartz. You take rest. I will come again when you wake up." I said. " And Ann will be searching for me. You know she gets so worried if she doesn't find me around for a little while." I said.

" You guys live with each other? " She asked me.

" Yes, I told you that day. You don't remember? We don't have any family. So, we are our family." I said to her honestly.

" What about her family? " She asked me.

" She is an orphan." I said.

" Oh, I am sorry." She said.

" It's ok. We both are orphan actually. It doesn't matter anymore." I said and she nodded sadly. Her expression was genuine. Sometimes some people made me feel so emotional. I wish I also had a family.
