The boy i admire

chapter twenty three

"I thought he will run after me"I  voiced out after seating beside my bed for no time without having a bite of the chocolate again. took all the chocolate and walked downstairs .
    He was seating on the floor with two warmers,two tumblars,a jug of orange juice and two plates in front of him.His Mouth twisted into a huge smile immediately as I approached him.
     "I was about to call you for dinner,come and join me"he voiced opening the warmers as I moved slowly as if moving underwater and sat opposite to him.
      He served tuwon semovita with miyar kuka adding some yajin daddawa and manshanu to his and asked if I need manshanu, knowing the fact that not everyone likes it.
       "No"I nodded my head.
     "Farauq! I'm really sorry about the bite."said the words not taking my eyes off my food, sounding grown up, although I was a child.
     "It ok sweetie;you are forgiven,I can't possibly stay mad at you,sblings always forgive each other"
       "But you're not my brother" sounded childlike this moment.
       "A brother from another mother sweetie...eat your food cutest"I turned around trying to find cutest but I couldn't find one, that means he was referring to me?
      "My name isn't cutest"my eyes went wide.
   He lowered his voice as if to make sure no one was listening"i know!I just felt like naming you cutest"
     "Cutest?"my eyes went wide again as I repeated the word.

    "Ofcourse,cutest"he tickled me.

     "But am not cute"I giggled.

    "You are to me" a gigantic smile played on his mouth.
I smiled too because I love the name
"Cutest"and handed him one chocolate, from that day I share my chocolate with him and also became his "cutest".

"Wlh babu sneakers"a middle aged man said.

" Eh akwai"the man moved his hand inside the park and brought out two country.
" Make it four" faruq's voice rosed as he paid the money.
" Thank you faruq, I gave him a cute childish smile and collected the chocolate, walking  toward home holding his hand.
