Lies between my tears

Heartbeat

I keep on uplifting Ohm's mood everyday, it's been 3 days since we buried her mom and his eyes are still swollen. I know that this is very hard to him specially that he only have his mom on his side.

"Ohm come on lets eat, P'mae cooked fried fish today" i said and poked ohms shoulder

" im good kong, thank you for letting me stay at your house" he said

" how many times do i need to tell you that its fine with us, you can stay with us for couple of days, months or even a year, we can be brothers" i said and smiled to him

"  I know, but i just cant thank you enough for being kind to me despite of me almost killing you and hurting your friends" he said

" past is past Ohm, do you really want to pay me back for the things you've done?" I asked him

"Yes" he said

"Well uhhmm" i even placed my thumb and pointing finger on my chin

" uhhmm. You can pay me back by moving on and continueing your life, be happy and enjoy every minute you have" i said and sat on his side

I rubbed his back

He stared at me and smiled

" i think i cant do that, or maybe i can but it will take me a long time to accept it, besides you know that mom is the only person i have, and now she's gone i'm left alone" he said and bowed his head, i can see that his shoulder moved up and down a sign of crying

I pulled him for a hug

" stop crying will you!, yes your mom left you alone thats life Ohm, we only barrowed our life from above  we dont know when or how he'll going to take it back from us right?, thats part of living. But do you know the best part of being alive ? It is enjoying every seconds we have , it is fulfilling the dreams we have. Do you think your mother will be happy when she sees you like this, crying , and not taking care of yourself?, im here, we are here we will help you, i promised that to your mom when she was still alive, i will help you " i said and faced him

"Thank you" he whispered

" na,, you thanked me a lot now, its fine, so come with me and eat breakfast now"

" ill just take a bath for a minute, you go first, ill follow after" he said and stood up

" okay, your right you should take a bath your smelly, i thought your going to sell fish here na" i teased him and even covered my nose to look real

" shut up" he said and throw the pillow next to him

We both laugh in chorus

" ill go down now" i said 

" okay" he said as he opened the door of the  bathroom

I'm still smiling i cant help it im just happy that he's fine now,tho i now that it is really hard for him to accept, but thats life we should be thankful for what we have now. Eversince that Ohm stayed with us i noticed his personality more, he's very caring. One day he offered us his passbook for the payment of staying and taking good care of him, grandmom got mad at him we are all shocked on that but then she explained to us especially to Ohm that he doesnt need to pay for our help instead he should use that money for a living, use the money for  school and buy all things he needs, her mother left the money for him to spend not to pay for anything

" come on now Ohm sit beside kong" grandmom said to ohm

"Thank you" he said
