Holidays: Part - 2

In her Home

Hello sweetie, how are you, it’s been so long, miss you di; Latha said. I became surprised & nervous, because, she was calling me di (female pronoun).

I’m fine, but why are you calling me di? Please, don’t call me that; I told her. And she said sorry, not only for calling me di, but also for what she did to me on that day.

Sorry, I was being very rude to you, I really feel sorry for that; she apologized.

It’s fine akka, it was never my intention, it’s just happened unknowingly, I’m sorry akka; I replied her.

It’s fine bro, I need a little help, can you do it? She asked me.

I will try my level best; I assured her.

It’s nothing much, my parents won’t be home for three days. I asked Anjali to come & stay with me, but she is afraid to come alone. So can you come along & stay with us? She explained. I visualised my previous day with them. That kind of things were the ones I really needed to avoid; I thought myself.

No akka, I have cricket competition, and some other works, so I won’t be able to come there, sorry; I tried to avoid her.

Even though Latha akka practically begged me, still I didn’t change my mind. After that, I gave phone to Anjali akka. She took it me, and both of them talked for some time. Soon after, she handed over the phone to my mom. It was clear that, Latha akka was asking permission to send me with them. To my surprise, I heard mom said, OK, and Latha akka happily cut the call.

Why did you say that? Why did you promise her? I have some other works, I can’t go; I shouted at mom.

Look son, we can’t send your sister alone, right? Not just that, Latha is alone as well, how can two girls stay there without any protection? You are my little warrior, go and take care of them; at last mom convinced me, and I couldn’t turn her down, so I accept to go with my sister. Mom became happy and went out for work. Slowly I turned towards my sister.

I will come with you akka, but I have some conditions; I told her.
