U R Mine

Chapter 35

Windey's Pov:

It's almost 10am. I should pay a visit to Max and make sure he is ok. I need not do that especially considering the reputation of the hospital. But still, I want to see him. I miss him on the dining table for breakfast, I miss our conversations regarding our future, I miss listening him cursing his classmate for the weird things she does in the class. I miss myself in his absense. I better drop Cullen in her friend's house and head to the hospital. Once he is fine, I have many questions to ask him. What happened? Who did that to him? Is it the evil again? Is she back again? Many questions..

"Cullen..Did you see Max coming to the roon yesterday night?" I softly ask her. "No. I think I fell asleep in Winson's arms even before he carried me to the room. Why? What happened? Where is he anyway?" She asked looking around. "He went on an excursion in the morning. He will be back in a week or so."I lie. "Oh..great..Where did he go?" She asks. "I don't know exactly. I didn't have much time to ask him. He wokeup, got ready and rushed even without breakfast. Dont worry. He will be back soon. " I tried to be confident.  "I miss him already." She quietly says. "How about I drop you at Riyana's home. I have to go to school. I have some work to do." I ask quietly. "That should be fun. Wait I will be back in a minute. " she says rushing to her room.

In less than five minutes she came back with her pink bag struggling to close the zip. I could see her dolls inside. "Give it to me. I will help you." I ask while she stretches her arm to hand me the bag. I close the zip while we wait for the cab to arrive.

I dropped Cullen and just reached the hospital. Right away I spotted the nurse. "Hey. You are back."she gave a warm smile. "Yeah. I am. How is he? Is he awake? " I ask.
"He should be fine. He isn't awake yet. You need to be patient. It's science you are dealing with." She softly says. "I know but I am just curious to talk to him." Saying this I walked inside the room.

He is sleeping like a baby. It's so warm seeing  him like this. I went near him and kissed him on his forehead. I sat there for like fifteen to twenty minutes when the nurse came inside. "Sorry to disturb, I came to take this tray." She says pointing to a tray filled with cotton and a pair of scissors. "Ok..You didn't disturb me by the way."I tried to be polite. "I thought your boyfriend Winson will come in the morning too." She says. "He is not by boyfriend. Just a friend. And why did you think that?" I ask. "Because he seemed to have a great time yesterday with Cicilia. Oh..the receptionist." She says. I knew she was flirting. I didn't realise Winson was interested too. Maybe that's why he offered to stay last night.

"When did he leave?" I ask her trying to change the subject. "Umm..At 5 I think." She says. "Ok." I try to end the conversation. "He is handsome." She finally says it. I know that. But it feels awkward. "Yeah.. " I awkwardly end the conversation. She slowly walked out the room.

I thoughtfully brought a book with me. So I started reading it. It's almost 12. I decided to check on Cullen. I took my phone out and dial to her friend's home. "Hello.." I heard a voice. I suppose it's her mother. "Hey..I am Windey. I just wanted to talk to Cullen. " I finish. "Yeah..just a minute. " She says and with in no time "Windey..Is your work finished?" Cullen asks. "Almost..I will be there in twenty minutes." I say. "Ok then I will start packing my stuff. See you Bye." She hangs up.

I went to the nurse. "I will be back as soon as I can. Call me if you need me. And your name by the way?" I ask. "Siril. "She says. I wave her a bye and walk out of the hospital.

I am in the process of booking a cab when my phone rings. Its Winson. "Windey. Where are you?" He asks. "Umm.. I came to the hospital to check on Max." I say. "You took a cab?" He asked. "Yeah..I am reaching home back. If you just hangup I can book the cab." I say. "Ok then. I will wait at your home." He says and hangs up the call.

I reached home along with Cullen at almost 1pm. Winson is sitting inside beside my granny. She is showing him some pictures. She is just a bit smiling I think. Wow this is really shocking. She never even gave us a smile. But she is laughing with a stranger whom dhe barely knew. I think it's his charm playing the role here. A smile came to his lips seeing me. He came to us and hugged Cullen. "How are you little Windey. " hw asks her almost teasing me. Cullen giggles and "Fine. You know, Riyana showed me all her comic books and we played with her dolls. That was so much fun." She says almost excited. "Oh..really. Then maybe you should try me. I can teach you many other games. I have a cousin of your age and we used to play whole day when she visits me. So much fun." He says. "Really..You will play with me?" She asked. "Yeah, ofcourse. Why wouldn't I? I dont like to miss fun either." He says smiling.  "Max and Windey rarely plays with me. They say that they are big and have stuff to do." She says sadly. "Well, I am not big. I don't have stuff to do."He says assuring her. I roll my eyes when Winson looks at me, but deep inside I feel happy for her.

We went to the table where granny was sitting. Many pictures were scattered on the table. They were my mum's childhood pics. Wow. She looks so cute. I took a picture and was staring at it laughing at my mum's innocent face. I miss her. Sadness crept on my face. "Don't be a spoil spot. We are having fun here." Winson says. I laugh a little pushing my sadness away. "Fine. I will try to prepare some lunch. You guys have fun. " I say and move into the kitchen.

I can hear Cullen laughing so hard along with Winson. It's feels very good to hear her laugh with everything happening. I am trying to make some pasta. I just tried it a couple of times which were obviously a disaster. Max used to mock me the entire day for that. I don't mind that. I actually enjoy it. Being playful is very tough when our lives are a complete mess. But we still manage to be a little playful. Sometimes.

After a few minuites Winson walks into the kitchen with a doll in his hands. "Are you making pasta? Its my favourite. " he says pressing the dough. "Dont be a spoil spot. I am trying to cook something. " I say playfully. He laughs almost trying to hide it. "Well, you shouldn't cook then, if you dont want it to be a spoil spot." He says. "Excuse me, I can cook well. Dont provoke me into making lasagna to prove my point." I say. "I wont. I dont want the house to be burned." He says teasing me for the hundredth time. He always manages to make me smile. Either with his sweetness or with his comments. It feels really good having hin around. Cullen is enjoying his company, granny is enjoying his company which should be shocking. Even I am..to be frank. I think I can give him a chance and try to be friends with him. He is of no harm to me and my family. I can see that. Giving a chance is not that bad afterall. I try to finish making my pasta pushing my thoughts aside.
