No. ", the boy replied making Lilly's smile fall down.
" You didn't want me to return back? ", Lilly asked again, surprised at her dear brother's reply.
" No, not at all. ", he repeated again.
Never expecting that answer from her own brother whom she loved with all her heart, Lilly went speechless.
She had no idea what she was feeling, whether it was anger, hurt or sorrow. It was as if she went numb for a second.
Seeing his sister's speechless reaction, the boy immediately understood what was going on in her head.
" No sis, I did not mean it the way you are taking my words. ", I immediately said, trying to pull Lilly out of her thoughts.
" Then what did you mean? ", she asked.
There was no hint of anger or pain in her voice. Nobody could even guess that she was hurt with the way she spoke. Had her brother not known his sister, he would have thought that she was fine when in reality she wasn't.
