I held up the receiver on my right ear and that was all I could remember vividly. I lost all my senses quite,just one thing was roaming all my mind, through the endless zigzag tracks of my brain.... the word I heard, not a minute ago. I put the receiver back into its place and walk towards my room.On my way I saw three of their faces,all revealing love, happiness, content,and the urge to stay sticked. I could feel the difference....the lie their eyes are showing.It was so contrasting to be felt.
"Tell me Teerin , what did you here?"Shailey said.
"I heard that.......My parents were dead!"
"What? Then who are they...."
"They were our neighbours back in Laos. Coincidentally, they had lost their daughter on the very same day, so they adopted me."
"And your brother?"
"I guess its too late, we need to head to college. "
"But... you did not complete. You have to tell me what happened to your brother."
"We need to go, I will sit in the car and wait for you. "
"Teerin! you promised to tell me everything ."
"Yes... I said....and now I don't want the lecture to be missed so please let me go... we will have a talk next day."
"I am not going anywhere unless you tell me what happened to Toris."
"Where are the keys Shailey? I will drive."
"See, it is very easy for me to understand your urge to go to college now . You had no problem in being late just a minute ago and now, you are running away from me but the question. This made me more desperate to get the answer and I am not going to move from this place until you tell me the answer which I need."
"Shailey, what nonsense is this? Don't be a child."
"I said what I had to say ."
"Shailey now you are testing my patience."
"Why aren't you saying me anything about your brother. Is he a criminal or maybe a serial killer about whom you are not saying people, just to save your reputation!"
"SHAILEY!"
"No? Then tell or I am gonna guess....."
"HE IS DEAD!"
My words left her speechless and that was right moment for me to start. I was gentle enough to let her get into my past life, but now she had crossed her limits by speaking about my brother. And she will have to take my words for this....she has to understand what a big mistake has she done by guessing negative stuffs about Toris!
"You won the quarrel....... got the the answer, happy? Now, answer my questions. Why are you so desperate to learn about my personal life? Who in the world gave you the permission to talk rubbish about my brother? And give me one valid reason why would I have to share my past with you?Would you be able to solve anything or would you be able to make everything right and bring my parents back? Don't be a statue now.....say something!"
"I thought you might feel good if you shared with me....."
"You thought wrong! I feel uncomfortable to talk about it, yet I did with you.... and what did you do? Next time, think twice before uttering any single word about Toris."
Saying this I went out of the room. There came Shailey's from the back---"Wait, I am driving you to college."I was really not in a mood to accept her proposal so this was my certain reply---"Thank you, but it will not be difficult for me to walk there." And without looking back I went out of the house and eventually out of the main gate,into the street.
