The rain seems like it would get heavier, we fastened our pace and hurriedly arrived at her place. The alley we live in is small and unapproachable so outside threat isn't a big problem, it's the threat from the people living here that's the real danger. And Sia lives in the most loneliest corner of our small valley.
She bids me farewell and I, her. Her boots slap against the ground as she makes her way to her door; it was just a piece of clothing hanging like a curtain.
Although, we had already come to her place, Mirha would never leave me alone unless I properly left her at her house untill she went in.
She waves ger hand at me before disappearing behind the curtain as a last goodbye and i smile at her.
'Anyways that's done, now let's go'.
My heels turn on back towards my house.
Stop.
pin-drop silence.
I feel shadows lurking above me. Hear coarse sound of breath.
My mind goes blank but my quickest reaction is tp avoid being suspicious and keep going, they could just be the alley-ways people who get too alert when someone new comes in. I've had many experiences with them.
I don't know if im making it an excuse, convincing myself of a doubtful truth or its really the truth, i hurry out of there and run.
I run. My legs aching. Tatterd slippers tattering. my breath becoming harsher. Run. Run, I shout.
Lights. I can see lights. Thank God for that woman who always puts lights up at night.
I ran untill I no longer could so I walked slowly, my heary now at peace and stitched in nuchal more security.
I ask myself, if I was so scared for a few minutes, how could anyone live there?
To think our place was bad. haha.
Sleep was now the only thing on my mind. Sleep.
"Rise and shine." Her squeaky voice only comes out with me.
"No." I reach for the thin blanket back that Mirha took from me, she had a nice sleep but i was squirming around yesterday night trying to sleep and now here she comes cuckooing rise and shine.
Rise and shine, my foot.
"Mirha, leave me alone."
"Why? This is revenge, you always do it to me." She takes the blanket off me again.
I stand up. Look in her eyes. Realising my baby sister.... is very...
Short?
"Why are you so short?" I tilt my face and rub her hair.
And let's hear a moment of silence before she erupts.
.....
....
..
.
"Excuse..... me?????"
Waving away my hand at her, I say, "You're excused."
"I'm literally like upto your eyes! UPTO YOUR EYES!" Her body catches upto mine and she places herself before trying to prove she isn't short, pft, whatever. How cute.
My smiles and smirk seem to enrage her further but I leaven no room for mercy, once more I pat her head, "Aw thats cute."
And that's my que to leave. Her face is already turning into a tomato.
"Byeeee!"
"No!" She yells back. Sheesh, had she been teased about it before. What a strong reaction. Hahah.
