Shades

She was totally blank at that instant, as if something pricked into her mind and heart simultaneously. It seemed as if she was dead cold with such a silly question., that could even be noticed by the little 8 yr old. Her face turned pale as if she would either collapse or will burst into tears. Nobody out there could understand why was she behaving so different from what she had been a couple of hours ago. She turned out to be the most playful, joyous and kiddish girl as per her age but still overflowed with all the senses of maturity. A tear drop fell from her little eyes , but she wiped it ASAP. The little monster turned into a little angel, stood up and went close to her. He raised his little fingers that touched her gentle face and lifted her face a little, he wiped the next upcoming tear in her eye. She couldn’t keep away from hugging the kid tightly. He sat besides her with a question mark marked all over his head and eyes.

Tammana took his hand in hand and in order to lighten up the atmosphere asked him, “Will your parents accept me as  I am thrice as old you are kiddo?”. After the next couple of words she heard, she didn’t have a single word to say. He very calmly said, “They will be happy in my happiness and happiness relies completely on you”, and sighed after such a long sentence he managed to speak. The words choked her throat and she was not able to speak even a single word. She felt as if these were the most familiar words in her life after which she always stayed speechless. She felt as if she was still searching the appropriate answer for the same, but she was lost in the mid way.
