"Umm ...listen kiddo , I am going to give you an advice . Never ever anger your mother. She becomes a monster when she gets angry and you never know, she may even eat you alive."
Mila who was standing at the door gasped,"Excuse me.What are you teach...
if you were born with weakness to fall you were born with the strength to rise
-------- Mila's POV " Sometimes we fall, sometimes we stumble, but we can't stay down. We can't allow life to beat us down. Everything happens for a reason, and it builds character in us, and it tells us what we are about and how strong we really are when we didn't think we could be that strong." I kept on reading this same quote by Gail Devers again and again for past thirty minutes.
Reading quotes and poetries ,getting inspired by them is something I have always done . Whenever I am feeling down I read them, brace myself , encourage myself to keep my head up , move on- go ahead with the flow of my surroundings ,people and see where it takes me.
It worked everytime but now my brain and heart are betraying me. Can't, I can't. No matter how many inspiring works I read, its not working.
You have to be brave and strong. If not for you then for the life inside you.He or she deserves all the love and care . Everything will be fine. Give it some time.
After sitting and repeating this over and over in my mind.I wipe my tears, stand up to see the beautiful garden in front of me.
"Hey Mils , what are you doing here?"
I turn around and see Heidi standing behind with four to five shopping bags in her hand. Shopping bags? Again? She just did some shopping yesterday.Obsession is an understatement when it comes to her and shopping.
Keeping down the shopping bags on bed she came to me and raised her eyebrow up. I did the same. Again she did the same. What's wrong with this girl?
"What?" ,I asked her. She shaked her head and said " You need to stop this Mils. Most of the time you are zoned out. Are you fine? Wait. What am I asking? You are obviously not fine.Still, please tell me how are you feeling.Share it with me.I am here with you. Please don't shut me out .I am your best friend, dude . Please."
"Nothing Heids . I am not fine but I know I will be when I see my baby." I told her with a smile.
I will be fine. I know that. Once my baby comes into this world. I will be alright.
"Speaking of baby. I bought some clothes for the baby ,they are unisex clothes. Come fast I'll show them to you. Um and I boughtsometopsforustoo." She muttered the last sentence with an awkard smile. As I said , she never gets tired of shopping.
I chuckled and gave her a smile," Ok!Show me the clothes. Lets see what you bought. But you gotta have a checkup girl. You are doing too much. Three times shopping a week is tooooo much.We don't want you to go bankrupt."
She gave a laugh"Yeah!Yeah!"
Red,Yellow, blue, green, violet, orange and indigo. Yup! She bought a freaking rainbow . All colour clothes.
Ughh!! It's so frustrating!! I can't identify the craving. I am sure it's about ice cream but which flavour.?
"Mils, do you want some almond milk?" Heidi asked from the kitchen. Ah! Almond .I want almond ice cream.
"How about some almond ice cream from Baskins and Robins ?" I asked . " Ya,sure Mils we will just order." I love this technology world , just order anything and you will have it at your door.
"Hey,listen there is no delivery person right now so can you please adjust with milk?" Heidi asked after five minutes.
I gave her a look of disbelief. Seriously? I take back my statement. Useless technology.
"No, there is a difference between almond milk and almond ice cream .I clearly stated that I want Almond Ice cream. "I huffed.
Heidi sighed ,"Look I will bring it.You stay at home;call me if you need something else . "
"I will come with you too."
"Look Mils its around 10:30 at night , we don't want to trouble the baby and you ."
Tears welled up in my eyes at this. She thought just because I am eight months pregnant I can't go for a drive to ice cream shop at night. All these years of my life,I thought that she was the only who had faith in me , who believed that if I want to I can do anything but now at this moment she proved me wrong. She thought I was weak to sit at one place while the other person is driving.
" Mils, what happened? Are you about to cry?Did I say something wrong? Are you in pain?"
"You don't believe me ,you think I am weak , dumb and careless . Why are you not taking me with you? You think that I can't do anything. If you are a true friend then take me with you. " I sobbed.
She was shocked . Good ,she realised her mistake. Taking a deep breath she said,"I am sorry .My fault .If you want to come with me . But then don't start complaining. "
That's my friend.
I smiled at her assuredly. Soon we left . We were on the middle of the road when I felt a sudden pain .
