Chapter 27

Nandini's POV:

Why am I such a blabbermouth? I mean there was no reason to tell him that I respect him and stuff. It's enough for myself to know all those. I am sure it's gonna be awkward now!

"Stop lamenting. You just said that with a good heart. He isn't a teenager to take a different idea of it" DJ Nandini says biting a chocolate bar and giving it to Monkey Manik.

"Yup. There's nothing to worry about. I am sure he will be happy listening to it" Monkey Manik says eating the chocolate.

Wait.
When did they get friendly enough to not fight and even share a chocolate bar? DJ Nandini sure isn't the type to share her chocolates.

I was lost in thoughts when I felt someone kicking my legs with a lot of force. I am sure it's my dear husband, the apple of my eye doing this deed. But then I found him busy chatting with Alia and then I realised it was Navya who was doing it. My eyes land on her and I glare at her kicking her leg twice harder than she did. Within no time we both were having a leg kicking war for god knows what reason.

"Leg kicking war? Real mature Nandini real mature" DJ Nandini snickers at us.

"Awe! Stop kicking me so hard" Navya complaints as I land another kick on her feet.

"You started it" I say as I notice that our table went eerily quiet suddenly. Navya who notices the same looks around and we find everyone staring at us amused.

"What were you guys doing?" Cabir asks us curiously as we both stare at each other embarrassed. "Cabir Bhai you should actually ask why were they kicking each other?" Manik says in a haughty tone as if he solved the toughest question in JEE advanced paper.

"I kicked her because I was missing her" Navya says shrugging her shoulders as if it's the most normal thing to do and everyone stare at her like she's an antique.

I am sure my sister is not normal.

"I kicked her back because I was missing her more" I say and then bite my tongue. What the hell?

"I am sure even you are not normal Nandini" DJ Nandini says and Monkey Manik nods rapidly.

"What family did I get married into?" Cabir says and Navya glares at him. "I know right! These two are weirdos" Manik says pointing at me and Navya and it's my turn to glare at him.

"Shutup ok. I think you should be happy that we agreed to marry monkeys like you both" I answer pointing at Cabir ,my poor excuse of a best friend and Manik, my poor excuse of a husband.

"Yeah actually! Cabir Bhai and Manik be happy ok? Considering the sex ratio in our country there were high chances of you guys to stay single but luckily you got married. I am sure Aryaman and Dhruv though will not even get anyone to date!" Alia exclaims taking a bite of her kebab and Navya hified her.

"If something like that happens I will just marry you. No worries about me staying single" Dhruv said and Alya punched his shoulder.

"Ok guys enough of this discussions and I have two things to say. So I hope I get your attention" Aryaman says clinking his glass with a spoon and we divert attention towards him.

"Well I will start with the good one first Manik ,Dhruv, Alya I hope you guys don't beat me after this. Well I am seeing someone her name's Priya" Aryaman announces shocking us and I look at Manik to notice his expression.

"You never said us though and I am definitely punching you tomorrow since today is your birthday" Dhruv speaks in a serious tone.

"Arree I just met her 2 months ago and it was nothing serious at start but we both like each other now so.." Aryaman tries to explain.

"Well Arya Bhai tu tho pitega hamare haathon mein kal. Par usse pahle kab milwa raha hein bhabhi ko?" Manik asks smiling at him and Aryaman blushes.

"Haa pahle let us meet her to tell all your embarrassing tales to her and if she likes you after that too then it's alright" Dhruv says and Manik nods.

"How could she like an animal like you though? I should do something and save that poor girl" Alya mutters and we all laugh.

"And what's the bad news?" Cabir asks tapping his fingers on the table.

"Meri behen ki shaadi. That too with Shravan Tiwari" Aryaman says glumly and I stare at him shocked. I find Manik's eyes on me expecting me to say something.

"And Suhana has no problem marrying him? That guy is like his father's chamcha totally" Cabir exclaims tapping into his phone and Aryaman nods his head.

Cabir was right actually. Shravan was all talks and no action and I doubt he would own the second highest percent of shares in Aryaman's company if not for his father. The pinging of my phone caught my attention and I unlocked it only to find a message from Cabir.

Cabutar:

Shravan out of everyone? I wonder how Suhana chose that chutiya.

Me:

Ikr. He isn't the right person for any girl.

Cabutar:

Are you fine? I mean the last time you saw him also we never really talked about it.

Me:
I was scared the last time. A lot. But right now I am worried about Suhana.

Cabutar:

What about now? Are you scared?

Me:
Ummm....

I keep my phone away and signal Cabir that I don't want to talk about it anymore. Cabir nods in understanding but it's clear that he isn't happy with the way I always avoid this topic. He doesn't properly know what happened and I plan to keep it that way.

I know whatever Shravan did to me in the past was worst and scarred me but why was I letting it affect me till now? I am a changed person now. I am stronger and more mature than the past me. Then why am I being the same weak girl in his case? Why am I running away like a coward instead of standing still and facing him?

The rest of the dinner was spent by me lost in thoughts and I didn't even notice when we were done.

"I am gonna drive" Manik said taking the car keys from my hand as we stepped outside after bidding goodbye to the gang.

"I am too lazy to drive anyway. So it's better if you do" I muttered and climbed I side the car. "I have to stop by few places though" Manik said as he started the car and I nodded at him.

After an hour of stopping by many shops and buying our backseat was filled with spray cans the one that we use for graffiti, two dozens of eggs and face masks which had skull design printed on them.

"Are we going to steal from a bank , egg it's walls and then write ' find us you assholes ' on it's gate?" I ask Manik staring at the stuff on the backseat ad he starts the car again googling something in his phone.

"Don't you think you are being extra af?" DJ Nandini asks me and I shrug.

"I don't think she is being extra. You might never know what goes on in the crazy mind of Manik" Monkey Manik points out and I nod at him.

"Yeah I should not be shocked if one day he randomly decides to rob a bank for fun" I explain to DJ Nandini as she rolls her eyes at me and resumes playing Candy crush saga in her phone.

"Who plays that game now a days?" Monkey Manik asks me pointing at her phone as I smirk at her.

"She's an antique piece she plays antique games" I tease and Monkey Manik laughs.

" We are gonna do something simpler than robbing a bank" Manik says keeping his phone away smiling at me. Took him long enough to speak!

" I don't have a good feeling about this" I mutter as he speeds up. " You will love it Chipmunk" answers coolly driving.

"Where are we going?" I ask in a sing a song voice holding the eggs tray carefully and trying not to loose balance.

Out of all the days I chose today to wear high heels. Great!
Manik thought that it would be a great idea to not use our car and walk as soon as we reached a posh neighborhood.

"You asked that question for the 20th time in the last 10 minutes. Why are you so curious?" Manik says walking along with me.

"Well it's 12:30 in the night and here we are in an unknown neighborhood doing god knows what. So don't blame me for asking the same question every 30 seconds mister " I answer getting irritated. Damn high heels! How do those actresses manage to run in heels when goons are chasing them?

"And here we are " Manik says as he stops in front of a huge independent house. I stare dumbfounded at the gate as I realise that we are standing in front of Shravan's house.

"What are we doing here Manik? You know what do what you want but I am not gonna get involved in this" I answer angrily and walk away.

I feel the familiar emotion of fear and I try my best to distract myself.

"You know why are you always scared when it came to Shravan? It's not because he hurt you in the worst way possible it's because you always limited your emotions to fear when it came to him. You never fought enough to come out of the thick shell of fear." DJ Nandini answers and I stop dead in my tracks.

"He made you believe that you were weak and believed it. Heck you believe it even now. Have you ever tried to listen to me? Have you ever tried to believe me when I told you that you aren't a weak girl and you are much more than that?" She questions as I just stare at her.

He made you believe that you are a weak girl and you believed. Did I truly believe that? Without even listening to myself? Or was I avoiding situations related to him and running away because they are dirty?

"You don't avoid stuff because they are dirty dear. You avoid them because you are scared. For past 6 years all you did was running away believing that you are weak. But please for once can you listen to me and face the situation. Running away did no good. Maybe facing the situation will help" DJ Nandini explains and I try to absorb what she said.

The truth is I am not a weak girl. I have faced loss of my loved ones, betrayal from blood relationship and still my life went on. I am smarter than Shravan and I have a steady career now. I have people who care about me on my side. Maybe I should face my fears now instead of running away. I am sure that if I stand still and face them one day I will be stronger than my fears.

Sometimes in life we face challenges and people which make us believe that we are weak. At those moments it's necessary for us to remind ourselves that we are braver and stronger than those challenges and people.

Taking a deep breath I turn back and walk towards Manik who looks at me confused but smiles as I reach him. It's just Shravan's house not a haunted house to scare me. I will at least try to know what Manik is planning to do.

" I really didn't like how Shravan kept bothering Aryaman and even you hate him so I thought of egging his car and maybe a little graffiti on his walls" Manik said in chill tone as I stared at him.

" You know vandalism is a crime? And there are high chances of us being caught if there are any CCTV cameras here?" I answer glaring at him.

"So is stalking girl. But that didn't stop Shravan from doing the deed" DJ Nandini says as I look at her doubtfully.

"Yeah I know Vandalism is a crime. And there are chances of us being caught that's why I bought the masks na. but look around do you actually find any cameras here?" Manik asks looking around as I do the same.

There were no cameras around. Weird considering that Shravan's father is a politician and cameras are actually needed here.

"But still Manik it's not right. We are breaking rules" I whine trying to make a point.

"Chipmunk...I don't know a lot about what happened between you guys but that asshole tortured you when you were together and is hurting my bestfriend by forcefully marrying her sister. I don't care about breaking rules as long as I am not doing any potential harm to his life. I am just gonna egg his car and scramble on his walls which I think he can easily afford to get cleaned" He explains taking out the masks and eggs from the bag.

"Ahhh! You know this egging and all is very childish but let's do it anyway. And let's do it properly" I say grabbing the mask from him. I think for all the pain you have caused me this is the least I can do in return Shravan Tiwari. And this is the beginning.The beginning where I won't be the same weak girl and run away. I will stand still and fight.

"Ok then let's start" Manik says giving me the eggs and smirks at me as I nod.

We both start egging the walls of his house and I try to feel better and not think of what would happen if Shravan would appear here out of nowhere. What will he do if he knows that we vandalised his place?

"You should stop talking to that Cabir bastard. I don't like him being so close to my girl"

My eyes then land on my wrists which turned red that time and hurt for a week because Shravan held them tightly while warning me.

" I told you didn't I ? To stop meeting Cabir then why are you still meeting him? Why are you not listening to me? Do you lack grey matter in your head that you don't understand anything I say?"

My fingers graze the corner of my lips which were bruised because of his slap.

"Why did you were a sleeveless top today? Do you want to show off your body to everyone? Or are you trying to sleep with the Sourabh guy you are teaching huh?"

And I feel difficult to breathe because suddenly I am clouded by the filthy odor of his drunk self.

"Why did you cry in class today you filthy whore? Do you want to create an image that I am not treating you well? Or do you want to gain sympathy from other guys in the class you attention seeking bitch?"

My hands touch the side of my head which bled a lot that night because he smashed a beer bottle on my head.

Just stop it! Stop it!

I can't do this. I just can't do this. All the bad memories I had are rushing in and I just want to hide from them.

"Chipmunk? Chipmunk are you fine? Why are you crying?" I come out of my reverie as my eyes land on Manik who was looking at me worried.

"I-I am ok. I am fine" I whisper wiping my tears.

"Let's go home ok? Gimme a minute I will clear all the stuff. " Manik says with at most gentleness in his voice and holds my hand taking me towards the car.

" I am not gonna run away from home Manik. Don't worry" I say to Manik as he tries to jam the door from inside so that I can't go outside.

It's been an hour since we reached the home and Manik asked me to sleep first saying that he has something important to do.

"I wasn't trying to lock it from inside or something" he asserts trying to cover his embarrassment but his flushed face says everything.

"You..you really promise that you won't do stuff like running away or something while I am asleep? Pinky promise?" He asks me stretching out his pinky and I laugh at him.

"Ok pinky promise" I say stretching out my pinky finger and lock it with his.

"You know pinky promise means it can't be broken right? So you shouldn't ok?" He says as I push him towards his bedroom.

"I know what it means and I am not gonna break it . So sleep peacefully" I say and he goes to sleep.

I wake up groaning and frowning the next morning as I hear loud bangs on my door.

" What the hell Manik! Why are you acting like a poor excuse for an alarm early in the morning?" I grumble as I open the door and find Manik standing there.

"Thank God you didn't run away!" He exclaims taking a deep breath and I stare at him amused.

Am I a freaking teenager to run away from home everytime?

"Well considering the number of times you did run away I can easily call you a teenager" DJ Nandini says having her breakfast.

" She did it before too?" Monkey Manik asks her as I glare at her and silently order to shut her mouth.

"You know yesterday night I pinky promised you that I won't run away" I say loosening my bun and trying to untangle my hair. Damn my hair looks like a messy nest in which the husband bird and wife bird had a bad fight.

"Well you do give me the vibes of certain someone who had a history of running away from home a lot"He explains running his fingers through his hair which looks neater compared to mine.

Is he showing off that his hair is silkier than mine?

"Do you have a vibeo-meter inserted in your body to detect what kind of vibes I give off?" I ask him and he stares at me confused.

"Does something like a vibeo-meter exist?" he asks and I shrug saying " I made it up".

"Are you going to stand here and stare at me while I brush my teeth?" I say as I take out the toothbrush from the bathroom cabinet and squirt some toothpaste on it.

"Yup! You have morning breath so I am gonna stand here and check if you brush your teeth properly or not" he says pulling out a toothbrush from his pant pockets.

"Go away Manik ,go use your washroom" I complain but he just grins at me and starts brushing. I sigh to myself and stare at the step stool in front of me.

"No don't. Don't even think of that" DJ Nandini warns me and I make a crying face.

Why can't he just use his washroom for godsake.

I pull the step stool and stand on it as Manik stares at it totally amused.

"Learn how to embarrass yourself from one and only ,Nandini" DJ Nandini announces and I show her my middle finger.

I can't brush my teeth without looking in the mirror ok? And to reach the mirror I use step stool.

" You are such a kid! Using step stool to reach the mirror" Manik says laughing at me and I ignore him brushing my teeth.

Just wait Malhotra! One day I am gonna replace your toothpaste with a pink or green coloured hair dye so that you have pink or green teeth.

Guys suggest me a colour to use na?

After that except for few chuckles Manik doesn't say anything and we quietly finish brushing our teeth.

"At least wait until he leaves to do your next deed. You have already embarrassed yourself enough" DJ Nandini grumbles like an old grandma.

Manik leaves the washroom after brushing his teeth and I smile to myself happily. Yaaaay! Now I can finally lick the toothpaste.

I squirt some toothpaste onto my finger and start licking it enjoying the sweet and minty taste. Judge me all you want but the only part I like about brushing is licking the toothpaste.

" People like you would definitely celebrate if they introduce chocolate flavored toothpaste won't they?" I hear Manik speaking and I turn back staring at him in horror.

Why the heck didn't I close the door?

"Ahhhhhh! Get out you posterior hole" I yell at him and he leaves laughing at me.

"Disaster!" DJ Nandini comments and I bang my head to the wall.

Since we both woke up very late I decided to directly cook lunch and skip breakfast.

"So what are we gonna do now? It's Sunday na let's do something fun" I exclaimed after having lunch and Manik let out a loud yawn.

"I am gonna sleep" Manik says keeping his phone aside.

"Come-on Manik today is Sunday! Let's do something na" I say grabbing his hand as he stares at me lazily.

" For me sleep is fun Chipmunk! So good night!" He said and retired to his room.

Blah.This guy is total blah!
No fun at all!

I had nothing else to do so I started binge watching a new season of Stranger things. But after two hours I lost interest and wandered around the house having nothing to do. I went to the balcony and started walking as an idea striked my mind. The balcony is actually spacious so maybe I can grow some plants and also grass carpets! It's better if I visit the nursery today itself since I have got lots of time.

Daebak! Good way to kill time.
( Daebak is Korean word for awesome.)

I should wake up Manik now though. Hmm a tough task ahead. I walk to his bedroom and tiptoe towards his bed. Why am I tiptoeing actually? Maybe because it's the first time I am entering his room after moving in here. His room is very neat surprisingly. My attention gets directed to DJ Nandini who starts playing pink panther bgm. If something like ' most extra character of the year' award existed it would go DJ Nandini for sure.

"No I would more likely get the' most entertaining character of the year' award. Now wake him up if you don't wanna be late" She answers and gets back to stalking some random Korean actor.

Are Korean actors that handsome?

Whatever let me wake up this human version of Nobita for now.

I lean towards his face and slowly tap on his nose to wake him up. How can eyelashes be so long? God is so biased sometimes. Why can't I have long lashes too?

"You know you are going to give him a heart attack with that zoom in face of yours as soon as he wakes up. Try waking him up like a normal person does" DJ Nandini comments.

Why is she cynical all the times? Well I am not gonna listen to her, I will wake him up by tickling and not like a normal person.

I enter my hands inside his t-shirt and start tickling his sides and he moves around mumbling to stop. I chuckle and tickle him more on the sides of his neck but before I could continue Manik grabs my hand and in matter of few seconds I am under him on the bed.

Woah! How did he manage to pull me onto the without dislocating my arm?

And Writerji I thought we had a comedy scene going on when did it transform to umm.. a romance scene?

And Writerji you should improve your creativity in these romance scenes. I mean pulling onto bed is old school now. But it still somehow manages to flutter my heart though...

" You know Chipmunk I might be a kid in your eyes and all but still I am a man with fluctuating hormones and all your tickling has kinda provoked me" he says in a husky low voice inching closer to my face. Is he gonna kiss me? And what's with that different expression on his face I have never seen it before...

"Kiss kiss kiss kiss" Both DJ Nandini and Monkey Manik mutter at the same time staring at us.

Suddenly the expression on his face changes to a scared one and he gets up.

"Bug! Bug! A bug is inside my T-shirt!!" He yells jumping around as I stare at him dumbfounded still thinking about the before incident. I come back to my senses soon enough.

"Manik! Manik stop jumping around" I say holding his hands and then I find a button near his feet.He wears socks while sleeping even when it's hot? What might be the reason? I will ask him later.

"Man with fluctuating hormones my ass! You are more like a kid who mistakes a button for a bug" I say hardly containing my laughter as I hand him the button which looks similar to the ones attached to his T-shirt. I think the stitches became loose and it popped out.

"Lol! I definitely married a kid! Thank God for your size or people would think I am into pedophilia" I say holding my stomach and laughing as Manik stands there looking flustered.

"Stop laughing! Any normal person would be scared of bugs" he explains and I take pity at him and stop laughing.

"Whatever kiddo! Get ready ok we are going out" I say flatly and leave his room.

"Is my face flushed as his? Damn it looks like someone slapped me ten times! Thank God he was too flustered to even notice me" I blabber to myself standing in front of the mirror as soon as I entered my room after locking it properly.

Fortunate that DJ Nandini is still not here or else she will definitely comment about my red face and how I called Manik a kid and all.

"What are you blabbering about?" DJ Nandini asks entering the room with a suspicious expression on her face. If there was a competition between DJ Nandini and Indian aunties for suspiciousness tracking she would definitely win.

"No I didn't! Anyways I have to get ready" I say too quickly for my liking and she stares at me. "Fine don't tell me anything. I will find out myself within a day" she says confidently flipping her hair.

"Are we done yet? It's been more than hour since we came here" Manik asks batting away a mosquito which was trying to suck off the blood of his arm.

"Come-on Manik stop sulking being here amidst of this greenery is really fun" I say observing the leaves of the plant O was going to buy carefully.

"Fun huh ?really Chipmunk? I don't consider mosquitoes having my arms for dinner fun ok?" He complains and I giggle listening to him.

"Correction Manik they are having blood from your arms for dinner and not your arms anyways I already warned you about the mosquitoes and asked you to wear full sleeves but you were the who wore that muscle shirt saying that you have to show off your biceps now bear with it" I admit as he glares at me.

" Hey I didn't say show off okay I just wanted the ladies to enjoy the view without any obstructions" he explains and I sigh checking the stem of the plant.

"Blah! Blah!blah now stop sulking and come meet Joey Tribbiani " I say pointing at the plant beside me and he looks at me and the plant as if I lost my mind.

"Don't say me you named that plant!?" He exclaims as if that's the weirdest thing possible to do.

"Yup I did! Plants are living beings like us so there's nothing wrong in naming them!" I shrug and he nods trying not to sneer.

"Stop laughing or else you will offend Joey" I say hitting on his head and he rolls his eyes.

"Fine! So tell me this is Joey Tribbiani huh? Then where's Rachel green, Monica bing, Chandler bing, Ross Geller and Phoebe Buffay?" He asks sarcastically and I pinch his shoulder.

"Stop that sarcasm if you don't want me to hurt your family jewels and now meet the rest of my plants gang" I say warning and then smiling as I face the gang.

" Now Manik meet Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler and Phoebe!" I say pointing at the rest of the plants and he smiles at them.

"Now Manik take care of them ok! I will go and look for Money heist gang" I say and walk around looking for other plants.

"I won't be alive to take care of your friends gang because of stupid mosquitoes" I hear him yelling as I check other plants. He's so extra.

"Here's your latte mam and sir here's your strawberry chocolate shake and chocolate cheese cake hope you enjoy sir!" The female waitress handed over our drinks smiling brightly at Manik as I glared at them. Manik offered her a smile and winked at her drinking the shake.

Look at him flirting and winking after whatever he did in the nursery. It's been twenty minutes since we left the nursery and Manik brought me here since he was hungry. How can he be hungry again after eating 4 plates of Pulav for lunch? I am sure his stomach is another black hole with infinite amount of space.

"You know Nandini you didn't exactly leave the nursery in a dignified way. Manik had to literally drag you from there to here like a parent dragging his kid from toy store to home. You were even stomping your legs" DJ Nandini reminds and I glare at her.

"One day I am gonna kill you in the most brutal way ever!" I warn her and she shows her tongue to me.

"Chipmunk let her be na! You know how she is. If you want kill me and not her" Monkey Manik pleads and I stare at him shocked. What's with the cheesiness dude?

"You can leave now." I say to the waitress who is blushing because of Manik's wink and she leaves with a serious face slightly glaring at me. Wow! Dude why glares for me and smiles for that donkey face?

"How can you eat without any guilt after leaving Nairobi- the plant all alone there? Do you even know how much Helsinki the plant will miss his bestfriend? How lonely Tokyo the plant will be without ? Forget it only a true Money heist fan cna understand my pain" I scold him and he continues eating giving me a blank stare.

"Woah woah woah! Chill Chipmunk. I had no other choice ok. The workers wanted to close the nursery since it was already dark but you were busy checking the 10th plant suitable for Nairobi's position. If possible you would make sleep in the nursery itself and it's a weekend too can't expect the workers to work for long time na" he explains and I find myself calming down a bit.

"Fine I will listen to you for now. But you make sure to buy me a new plant if not I will stick chewing gum to your hair" I warn him and his face pales.

"Don't! Don't you dare touch my hair ok? They are my precious babies" he says and I stare at him amused. Boys and their obsession with hair lol!

" Well even if I not harm your hair I am sure you will go bald before your 40's considering the amount of chocolate your eating" I tease and he spits out the cheesecake he was eating. Gross!

"A-Are you serious? Will I really go bald if eat a lot of chocolate?" He asks me horrified and I laugh at him.

"You are so naive Manik. How can you believe whatever I say?" I ask giggling and he pouts.

"Chipmunk I am sorry for yesterday night. I think you wouldn't be so scared if not for me taking you there" He says out of the blue.

" Manik I don't think you should be sorry for that. In fact I am thankful to you for taking me there. It's true that I was scared but it's my first I didn't run away from a situation. Until now all I did was avoiding Shravan and my past because of my fear. But yesterday was the first time I didn't avoid it even though I was scared. And even from now on I will face him even if I am scared and it brings back the past memories" I explain and he nods in understanding.

"But is it easy facing your fears?" He asks curiously.

"Obviously not. How can it be easy when all those fears are deep seated in your soul and brings back bad memories? You know Manik whenever I try to face my fears it's like I am scratching the wounds which are not even healed yet. But still it's ok I will still face my fears and will try to be braver coz I can't keep on running away forever. If I keep on trying one day I will face my fears without flinching and not thinking about bad memories." I explain and he stares at my face without saying anything.

Did I say too much? Or did what I say didn't make sense at all?

"Lets go now shall we? I am done with my cheesecake" He says getting up and I nod following him.

Maybe I overdid it?

As we step outside Manik grabs my hand and hugs me tightly lifting me off the ground.

"What's this for?" I ask slightly dazed and confused as he runs his fingers through my open hair.

"This is for expressing how happy and proud I am. Thanks Chipmunk for staying strong and deciding to face your fears. Maybe it won't be an easy journey but still I am sure you can face it. And remember you can always lean on people who care for you when you are tired ok" He says and I nod thanking god who sent this wonderful and warm person into my life.
