HIATUS

5.Decision Pending

A week passed by since that day and I haven't spoken to anyone after that conversation. I had been avoiding Cassy too. The fresher's party was to be held tomorrow in the campus. I didn't want to go to the party but I had promised Cassy I would be there.

The whole day went by and then Cassy decided to confront me "Emms! what's wrong with you? You are acting weird from the past few days, if you don't want to come to the party just tell it to my face, you don't have to avoid me like that" she blurted in anger and walked away.I hurt her really bad I could sense it from her tone .

I went back home that day to see a happy, bubbly face of my Grandpa waiting for me "My little one! I've been waiting for you for soo long". I ran to him like a small girl and hugged him tight. I was his favourite and he was mine." Gramps!! where are my chocolates?" I complained with a pouty face.

Gramps was my superhero, my guardian angel, my favourite. I loved him more than I loved anyone else. He handed me a bag full of chocolates as usual and as usual my mom started with her complaints about Gramps spoiling me.

I indirectly took my Gramps opinions and advice on things I couldn't handle every time. "Gramps?? what do you do when your afraid of something and you hurt other people because of it intentionally or unintentionally?" I questioned him laying my head on his lap.

Gramps with a worried look on his face told me " You don't have to be afraid of anything little one, unless and until you are at fault. If you haven't done anything wrong you don't have to be afraid of anything. If you fear something then you should try and overcome it. No matter how rudely some one treats you, never hurt anyone my child. You are not like them, You are different my little one. If you have hurt someone then apologise and make things right. It's never too late to apologise"

"Did you eat chocolates and cookies again without your mom's permission ?" Gramps was grinning at me . "Actually yes! We will share them, don't tell mom about it" I replied and we both broke out in laughter. My Gramps just knew how to get a smile on my face. The rest of the day was spent with Gramps laughing and getting pampered.

"Love you Gramps! Night! Eat your tablets and sleep on time " I waved him goodnight and entered my room. I lay on the bed and thought about what Gramps told earlier.

"Mr.Moon I know you heard what Gramps said but it isn't easy to get over my fear, no one knows about it better than you. I want to give it a try but I'm scared of letting my guard down. I'm scared of being hurt again. What do you think I should do??? Ughhhh!!!! why don't you have the talk back feature in you.....Night! Don't tell me anything, I guess I know what I should do tomorrow" I whispered silently to the moon and I slept.

(Stay tuned to know whether Emma goes to the party or not....)
