U R Mine

Chapter 34

2010

I used to be a happy girl. A happy family, lovely neighborhood, street full of friends, little crush at school. This was my world then. All of a sudden my world got twisted. My father got a transfer and we had to move out of town. We are moving to a new place. "Laura, pack your stuff fast. We don't have much time. The train won't halt long. Your dad is almost about to burst off excitement. You know right, it's his dream to leave this place and finally, the day has come. He won't appreciate you being late." My mom shouted.

We got on the train, and my mind lingered around my friends and the memories I had there. I had a perfect life. It was very hard to leave that place and people there. Clora, my best friend for life, she is in tears while I was packing. Nevin, a brother from another mother, remained silent all the way to the station. Ronaldo, my crush, I will miss him. He has been my entertainment for almost three years. Not that we talk and have fun, we barely had an eye contact. But staring at him gave me immense happiness and reason to go to school.

We finally arrived at the destination. We hired a cab and in less than 10 minutes, he brought us to our new house. It was big than our old one but that didn't excite me. Dad brought us some food from a hotel nearby. That was not a big one, but he managed to bring all my favorite items. I sat on the table with a plate full of doughnuts in front of me. I could hardly eat. Dad came to me and looked at me in a soothing way. "No, dad. I am not ok. I liked being there and I always will. You know how much I have already started missing people there. Take me back home. Our home. Where we had memories and I had friends. Please dad." I started literally begging. My dad, talking a doughnut from my plate and putting it in my mouth"You can never manifest your dreams by complaining your way out of your current reality. You have to accept past as past. This is for our good Laura. I promise. You will find a better life here soon. Just give this place a chance." he said and went upstairs.

Windey's Pow:

I dont know when I fell asleep in the chair. It's almost 12.10am. I left Cullen in the house. If she wakes up and finds that neither I or Max are at home, she starts to worry. I should better go home. If Sifu had been in town, he could have been with Max while I go take care of Cullen. But I haven't heard from him lately. I suppose he is busy. What to do now? Shall I ask Winson to stay here with Max? I dont think I can ask more of him. He has already been very helpful today. I can bother him anymore. If Rick had been here...My heart tightens with the thought. I miss him. Especially now considering my situation. Why dont he call me or respond to my voice mails or texts??

"Hey thinking something?" Winson's voice snaps me out of my thoughts. "Hey I thought you left." I say feeling awkward. "Why will I? The world doesn't stop if I don't go home. Moreover I thought you might need any help. So I stayed. Thought you might feel hungry when you wakes up so I went to bring some food. " he says.

Why is he being so nice and helpful to me. Why did Rick hate him so much? Anyway I should think about Cullen now. "Hmmm thankyou for being so thoughtful. I am worried that Cullen was home alone. She will be worried if she wakes up. I can't put her through that after what happened to her today...oh yup..yesterday as it is past 12 now." I didn't want to be particular with the days but that happened without my control. "So? What do you want to do? Shall I take you home?" He asks. "I am parallely worried about Max. How can I leave him alone? I mean I dont know what to do. " I say confusion clear in my words. "So..I give you two options." He says raising his hand up. "One, I stay here watching Max while you go home." He opens another finger and says "Two, You stay here watching Max while I take care of Cullen" he almost finished when "Maybe we can consider option three, bring Cullen here and let her sleep here if you want me to stay with you." He almost winks when I stop him "I go with One. My granny freaks out If she finds you home without me or you might freak out looking her loose temper and behave weird early in the morning." I finish.
