chapter 2

....and took the beautiful pink coloured top and yellow skirt which ,I myself , have kept on the table last night.

I went to bathroom and took a quick shower, dressed up and came out .I was drying my hair when slowly my door opened and my little, cute ,five year old step brother Ryan ,came in and ran towards me. l knelt down and he hugged me tightly. We did this everyday, but not anymore. I will miss my brother's morning hug. I don't know why but suddenly I felt sad, my heart sank in the ocean of sorrow.

We let go of each other, Ryan looked at me, frowning and said " Rose, you don't love me anymore, do you? Why are you not coming with us."

I take a long sigh and tell my little bro ☺️ " I love you kiddo, I really do."

Ryan: Then please come with us, my dear sis.

Me: Umm... Ryan tell me one thing. You love watching cartoons, don't you?

Ryan: Yeah, I do .But what does that mean now?

Me: Now, just suppose if somewhere you get to watch all the best cartoons for free.what would you do?

Ryan:Oohoo..,... all the cartoons and even free. This is my Dreamland, I would settle there forever.

Me: That's it.

Ryan: Then also take me with you. You can't watch cartoons 😉 without me .please take me....

Me:Oh ,my bro it's not like that. The way you love cartoons,I also love studies. I am getting a chance to study in the best high school for free. I won't be dependent on mom for school fee anymore.

Ryan: So you are gonna ditch your cute smart and little, in a word ,world's best bro ☺️ for the stupid studies.

Me: Says the boy ,who is ready to ditch his beautiful, smart and elder ,in a word, World's best sister for stupid cartoons, huh?

Ryan: Now, speaking of cartoons, I can understand that . But don't ditch me sis, you would come to meet me often, wouldn't you?

Me : Obviously, I would. I will miss you 🥺.

Ryan: I will miss you 100 times more.

Me:Aww....

Saying this we both hug each other. I really love my brother 💕. He makes me feel good. He gives me tag of sister. And this is my beloved tag, being the sister of world's cutest brother.

I let go of Ryan. He sat on my bed cross legged. I just finished drying my hair, then my brother said to me," Rose, by the way Mamma and Dad had told me to bring you down stairs for breakfast." Oh , I looked at the bunny 🐰 clock ,it was already quarter past six. I didn't realize so much time had passed away since I woke up .

"Um.. Ryan, when will you guys leave for airport?" I asked him lifting my luggage bag.

" I don't know,perhaps in evening." he replied.

"Leave it then,I will ask Max about it"

Ryan stared at me with his big eyes, like I have made a blunder. At first I didn't know what it was, then I suddenly realized for little Ryan, Max was my own father and my own dad was our uncle. The boy did not understand step-family concept. Or even if he understood, he did not want me to be his step-sister for him I was his only sister and his best friend.

For most young boys , their mother is the "most beautiful lady in the world 💞".But for my Ryan, one and only his Rose deserves the tag. Our relationship is very special. It was because my mom is a working lady. When she would be in office, I would take care of him. I was......
