‘You’re okay with it, right? You’ll not trouble him?’
‘Ibbi didn’t I just say its fine?!’ Sani grunted, while I pressed my mouth on her shoulder, trying to control my laughter from reaching Ibbi’s ears.
He went on,
‘Promise me, you’ll not give him the cold shoulder, glare at him or make it hard for him to...’
Sani gave out a frustrated sigh,
‘No, I will not glare at him. No, I won't make it hard for him...Hey! Excuse me; I don't make it hard for anyone!’
“You make me hard.” I mouthed the words, making her gasp.
Ibbi further asked something, to which Sani answered softly, while still staring at me wide-eyed,
‘I don't hate him.’
‘Yeah, I'm coming home now.’
She hung-up, informing me, “He wants me to come home and plan with him.”
I nodded, caressing her face,
“So you don't hate me anymore?”
“You know I don't.” She pushed at me gently.
“Then do you love me?” I asked holding her eyes.
She shook my shoulders groaning,
“Please focus! This is serious. Ibbi's trips...I'm not in the mood for it. I don't wanna go. But I have no idea how to get away from it! Help me.”
“What will I do there if you don't come?!” I revolted.
She still had that pleading face, on which makes me want to do things for her.
So I cupped her face, trying to make her understand,
“We barely get any time to spend outside the college campus. You don't want us to spend time like that?” I gave her a meaningful look raising one eyebrow in question.
She nodded, giving me a beautiful smile and stood up,
“I have to go home.”
“I’ll drop you.” I pulled her to my side.
I don’t like the distance at all now. She should be by my side, which feels perfect. She has been mine since always, even if she does not remember, its okay. Nonetheless, she is mine now as well, and she knows that, which is heavenly.

A few days later-
“Grandpa, what do we do when we know we are pissing someone off?” I asked sitting on the floor in front of his armchair.
“Stop doing that.” Grandpa said in obvious tones, continuing to read his book.
