The Serene night

Refreshing feeling and a dazey look, with  a sudden chill with in her eyes.... she fell down on her back and with the  mind got numb.....🌿 

Soon she woke up with the voice of her mom    " Dinner is ready ,come down Sel." Her mom's voice came down her ears , she stood up and came down ." Mom ,let me help , I will put the plates on the table ." 

 "OK , fine, take them they are on the cupboard above ." They sat down on the dining table ,her mom being  serving dishes. Sel was in a deep thought to what Miliie has told her. As to moving the dishes here and there and eating literally nothing, had bothered her mother whose been watching her from a while . 

" Sel why are you not eating anything huh…."   

  " Ahh…huh… yup, no I am eating. And she started eating in a fast mode. ``what are you thinking, huh…. One should not think or talk while eating ,how many times that I have told you this thing huh… " 🙄

"No ,mom,  I am not thinking anything. It is just that today was a tiring day and I did not rest well.  Mom, can I go to the Millie's home in the coming weekends for studies. It's just that our summer vacations are going to end and we have not prepared anything for the coming semester, so it would be good if we will do some advance preparations. " 

" You want to go to Millie's for studies… !!!!! Or you guys just wanna hang out again in the whole village. But it is not a bad idea to study during the summer vacations either. After all, you guys, have done nothing in your vacations but hanging out on the river side. 

OK, you can go, but be sure to study good and come home on time. " 

" Fine, thank you mom, I love you so much." 

"Yaa yaa, fine, just eat your dinner now, or I would not let you go and your friend Millie will be upset more than you would be. "

Laughs fell across the cheeks of both the faces as they both knew that they know the things they have in their hearts but not letting themselves to speak….. 

Her mom knows the things and desires a heart of a young girl like Sel would hold and can understand what she wants to say but never really says… but she always reads her inside out of her mind… ..but can not let herself show so easily 💕

" I am done, mom thank you so much. Mom when dad will return home. " 

Yup, he said he will return by the end of the month.  OK, I will go and do the dishes then. 

All smiles spread across her face … that she not only got the permission and can go out to Millie's home but the dad would be coming soon too. 

" I do not know how happy would be Millie when she would know that I got mom's approval with out her help. I really want to see her expression. " 

All enjoying on her own, her lips started singing her favorite song …..tuning the rhythm with the soul of her voice… mixed with a blush of her happiness…..

 Sounding to her own ears like…..  it's the best music in this era. 🎶

"All done mom, I am going up stairs."

" All right ," her mom replied. 

switching the lights down but pulling on the curtains, all set her to have  a look of the outside window….

The cool and calm view of the town , gave her a sense of realisation that the place she lives in can be so rushed at day time but at night , all seems to become so serene. That they are all just the same. 

" Sel , a sound came out from behind… that just blurred the inside thoughts that she was indulged in. 

" what are you doing there, go and take off your blanket before going up stairs. It's cold during the nights, you may catch the cold ."

" OK, mom, I will take the blanket before sleeping. " 

She went up stairs, closed the door and starts to make up the bed , all by thinking on her own that what if this will be calm like this for ever , just like It is during nights. 

" How would it be  if it is always like this ….. So serene….. So tranquil …. It is…" 🍃

She got lied down on the bed ,wearing her thin pink dress which she finds the most suitable to sleep in.

               The cool and cold winds of air, throwing down the window and all she can do is to hear the loud noise of the harsh winds and sound of the dry leaves….🍃

        She wrapped herself in the blanket, and gazing the winds with a thoughtless mind……

  the cool breeze of the night started to  make every inch of her numb…. Slowly taking over the thoughts and then the mind suddenly began to become numb….. To give her a dreamy and sounded night. 🍃

The light got ruled by the dark , birds began to return home and the breezy feathers folded up the entire town…..

*morning chirps…. 

Birds again began to chirping , Flowers started to bloom , chickens covered up the farms, the people of the town started to come out from their homes, and as soon as the rays of the sun rains down in the tiny town, appeared as to show off his ability of spreading love…..🌷

At Sel 's home 

Bird's chirping woken up the eyes of Sel. Soon started without even being totally conscious ,Rubbing her eyes off. "what time is it ? " , she asked herself. 

" Sel wake up, how long are you gonna sleep like that … the sun has risen , I do not know when this girl will be disciplined " , taking a sigh deeply. 

" Yaa, mom,  I am awake, " she said by getting off the bed in an instant and looking at the alarm clock.

 Taking a big relief from the panic, she said to herself, " thank God, only seven o'clock. 

What would I have done if I got late to meet Millie . She would get extremely angry at me. I do not know what she would be doing. 

*Millie's sleeping on the other side

" I should hurry and get dressed or I will get late to meet Millie. "

Soon after some time, after she gets dressed and comes down. " Here you are, come on, have some breakfast."  Sits down on the dining table for breakfast , being initially in a thoughtless state and looking at just the crockery, being finely made by her mother . 

Usually it is her mother, who does all the refinements in the house. She also likes to do it but not really able to do like her mom even after trying and learning for quite some time. 

Being a good learner , she likes to do new things and works like her mother do, like the household cutlery, how to manage it and doin flowers at the hall. It's kind of embarrassing for her to not do it nicely. 

" BTW, are you gonna go to see Millie early this morning. " 

" Yes, mom, I promised to meet her this afternoon and for studies as well. You know right. 

" Hmm,  yaa, you said yesterday, So go to Mary Bakery as well, to get the morning milk from their Dairy farm. They didn't deliver it today. I do not know what happened. "

" Yaa,  sure. "

She soon finished off the breakfast to meet Millie in a hurry. Went off the house saying , " I'm going , bye ." 

Went by taking off her bicycle from the backyard , inhaling a breath of fresh air in a new day , is definitely one of the most wonderful things one can have in a day.

" it would be better to go to Millie's home first and then would go together to the dairy farm. Let's see what she is doing. " Millie said to herself , by riding off her bicycle with full speed towards the Millie's home. 

" I get there ," stopped by her house and looking up the window ,she shouted, " Millie,  are you there, come out. " probably thinking that she might be getting dressed. 

Got no answer. She shouted again, " Millie I'm here, where are you, come out, I am waiting. " wondered if they is no one in the home. 

Soon the door opened slowly, and came out Millie's mom,  " Hi, dear, Sel, you are here I wondered who is so early. I did not think it would be you, " she said. 

" Good morning, aunty, I am waiting for Millie, where is she. " 

" Come in first, let me take you to have some breakfast first." 

" No, aunty, thank you so much, but I had breakfast already, I go to see Millie first. "

Sure, her mom said. 

She went upstairs to Millie's room , hastily and found that she's still sleeping. " Millie wake up. OMG  she is still sleeping. Millie wake up. " 

" who's there, don't trouble , go, I want to sleep . " 

" you brat, you are the one who called me here, and now you are sleeping. Come on wake up. Or I will pour water on yaa. " 

" huh… who… .who is… Sel,  you are here, how, I thought I am sleeping in my room. "

" Yup, this is your room and this is your home ." 

" So what are you doing here.." 😅 Millie said, without even realizing that she is the one who called her. 

" You called me…. right,  to meet you at your house." 

*Suddenly attaining her memory   " Yaaaaa I remember….. I remember….. So you…how you convinced aunty to let you come here. " 

" I did,  you get up first. " 

" Yaa… I do now ...hurriedly coming off from the bed and asked " how did you appease her tell me, I thought you would barely come like you always do but I did not think you would be so smart. "

" You get dressed first then we will go to Mary's Bakery , she said, tell me what would you wear. " 

" I'll get dressed, you wait and I will just come in seconds.  BTW why do we have to go to the bakery. Is there any party, " saying from the restroom. 

" No, there is no milk delivered today so I have to fetch it. You hurry fast or I will be late again….." 

" Yep, ready, let's go…. I am ready. " 

   "  No wait, where are you going, eat your food first, a sound came from behind as they were just about to leave the home. 

" Sel, Millie, you two have breakfast first."

    "Chill  , mom , I will have something outside BTW we are going to the bakery, I will have something there. " 

But be sure to eat something first, Sel you make sure she eats or otherwise she will have a whole day without having anything. "

" yaa, sure aunty, I will get Millie something to eat. You need not to worry. " 

" fine.. Then bye. "
