Chapter 11 - Chapter. 10. Responsibility.

Sam: "Aai!!!".

Aai finds Sam standing afar waving his hand to her. Aai runs to him, with a relieved sigh, she crouched down and looked at Sam.

Aai: "Please don't run off like that".

Sam worriedly: "O.. k!".

As she stood up, a sharp pang hit her ankle.

Sam: "Are you alright Aai?".

She with her strength stood up.

Aai: "Yeah, let's go".

They two went to the kid's centre. It was lively and spacious with many kids games. The mascots stood behind and some welcomed the kids.

"Hey watch out!", Sam ran to play while Aai stood around near his playing space, watching over him.

It was a whole joyful and playful environment. Along with games, there was a small entertainment show for the kids and a comedy act among mascots. It began getting crowded.

Continuing standing, she couldn't bear the pain anymore, so she tried to find a place to sit. As she was moving around, a person bumped into her and she lost her balance.

: "Are you ok, miss?". She was caught by someone.

She pulled herself back and thanked him.

: "Aai?".

Aai felt the voice familiar and looked to see Idris with some boys around him.

Idris: "Wow it's Aai! What are you doing here?".as he walked close to her Aai stepped.

Aai: "Aah!".

Idris noticed her leg swollen and red.

Idris: "Hey your leg, how did you hurt yourself? First let's find a place and treat it".

Aai: "No it's nothing".

Idris: "What's it's nothing? Moreover what are you doing at the kid's area?".

Aai: "Sam is with me".

Idris looked over and spotted Sam playing with a mascot. He sends his boys to him and suddenly lift Aai in his arms.

Idris: "Let's go".

Aai: "Wh...what are you doing? put me down!".

Idris was just a bit taller than Aai but had a great strength. "Don't move or you would fall down".

He placed her on a bench, telling her to wait, he ran into a direction.

Aai: "Wait!". She couldn't move as it got lot swollen.

After a while he returned to her, hunched down and treated her leg.

Aai: "Wait! I can do it... just... ".

Idris: "Aai please....just say if it hurts". He looked very serious so she didn't talk back.

Minutes later.

Idris: "Here it's done". Aai thanked him.

Aai: "I've to return, Sam will be worried not finding me there".

Idris held her hand, "Don't worry. My boys will look after him". He left her hand,

"Sorry...When he's over with playing, they will bring him to us. You just stay here".

"...Thanks". Going with this injury will only get things worse so she thought of resting a bit and then leaving.

There was silence between them.

Idris: "Mmm, so why are you will Haris's brother?".

Aai explains the situation.

Idris: "Yeah, Haris is a doting brother. He wants to do everything for his brother to be happy. BTW you go to King's High right? Do you know a girl named Belis, she's in 8th grade?"

Aai: "No". After listening to Aai's response Idris didn't say a word. And it was silence between them.

It looked late now. Aai got up to return back and even after Idris holding her back, she thanked him for his help.

Aai: "Thanks, but he's my responsibility". Saying she started walking, staggering.

Idris: "You sure are stubborn, wait!". he followed her.

Sam was returning with Idris's friends and as they came out of the park, they met Haris who seemed to just finish his work and return.

Haris insisted Aai to rest at his place since she was injured with no one at her house. Thanking for such kind intention, she refused.

Idris was contented to stay alone with Aai but dragged away by Haris. They dropped at her house.

Haris: "Thanks Aai and take care. Call me if you need any help, ok?".

Aai: "Don't....tell brother about this".

Haris agreed after a pause. Though Nair and they knew each other for a long time, Nair won't spare Haris if he knew that his sister was injured from helping him and knowing that Aai was sent alone with a young child to such a crowded place, Haris would get hammered by Nair.

Idris realizing, laughed while getting dragged away.
