02| Coke And Sulking.

I was sat on the couch of their enormous hall, suffering like a fool, so disappointed with myself that I couldnt indeed express.

I never understood why I always acted so frivolous when it came to him? Why I was so hopeful every time it was about him that he could deceive me easily?

It was past normal dinner time, a few members of his family had gone to bed but he wasnt even home yet.

I felt so guilty for having ditched my family for someone about whom I was not sure whether he cared enough or not?

I realized I should not have fallen for his words, his eyes, and I shouldnt have dodged my parents for him.

Unlike afternoon, I was not sure anymore if he meant wanting to meet me at the dinner because if he had, he would have definitely showed up.

I fathomed his eyes wrong; they always made me feel out of the world, they made me bloom to only force me to feel naïve and unwanted at the end.

I did not even have the count of the years I had been crushing my heart for him, waiting while getting nothing in return.

I sulked, munching on my fruit and nuts silk, gambling to feel better through it.

"Your night suit is nice", Daniya told me, surfing through some trailers on Netflix.

"Hmm?" I hummed, my eyes stuck at the door. It was a grey and white strips shirt and pyjama combination.

"I dont understand how can anybody like nuts in their chocolate?" She made a face, looking at my bar through the corner of her eyes.

I remained quiet at her response, chewing it more. I was in no mood to talk to her or say anybody at the moment.

"What crawled up your ass Sithara?" She put the movie on hold, turning around towards me.

I craved to snap out at her and tell her that I was annoyed because her brother wasnt ready to crawl up my ass. But alas, if I could ever gather the guts to express that! I had never imagined myself telling her that I liked her brother.

She loved me and I knew she would be okay with it sooner or later but it would be awkward to reveal to her that my brother was her brother but her brother was not my brother.

I stayed peaceful, playing the movie, and she loudly sighed. I didnt bother much because she was in a habit to bear with my mood swings.

"Sithara, Im so sorry theres no coke and theres no one I can ask to bring?" Aunty apologized to me, coming out of the kitchen.

"Oh no, Aunty. Its alright. Im fine." I answered her, feigning a grin. I could crave for coke any random time and it was a must household for me but I had to be a nice child to her.

"Ammi? Kya yaar?" (Ammi? Whats this?) Daniya frowned at her mother. "Morning itself I reminded you to ask Jamal Bhai to bring a few cans? How can you forget?" Her face turned foul.

"Daniya its okay." I couldnt help but smile widely at her. She was legit my girl.

"Im sorry. It will be the first thing Id do tomorrow." Aunty responded to me, ignoring Daniya.

"Dont make me feel guilty Aunty; I do not need it right now." I lied. I could do that.

"Why love me so much?" I teased Daniya with a chortle playing on my lips.
