Sargam's P.O.V. :

I have never known what to do when such things happen. But here I am. Guess for everything, there's a first time. I can just see the stress lines covering her head as her pain increasing and relaxed posture as it subsides just seconds before another painful cramp hits. I could do anything to protect her from this pain. And that's why I decided to stay with her. I remember that even when we were small, she hated staying alone. And in this condition I wasn't ready to leave her. We both decided to watch a movie sitting side by side when I decided to let her choose the movie because of two things.

First, its her house.

Second, she's the one in pain.

Otherwise, we would have had a big fight on the topic.

But today, it's different.

She first picked the movie conjuring. Then kept it back and picked Jumanji. Then once again kept it and picked Chronicles of Narnia. When she was going to keep it as well, I wrapped my bulky hand around her slender one when I felt something yet ignoring the feeling I made her start the movie. She sat on the sofa still with a permanent frown etched upon her innocent face. I still found the frown too cute. I guess this is what happens during the time of the month for girls. Mood swings. I am not seeing the movie. Just look at her face which has contorted in pain. Her head landed on my shoulder unconsciously I must say. And her eyes were shut while she was driven to sleep within mere seconds. I just kept looking at her face while had a strange urge. I started caressing it while seeing how the creases on her forehead were relaxing with a small smile. I was broken from my trance as her phone started ringing. 

I picked it up and spoke,"hello" in a low voice so as not to wake her up. I'd absolutely forgotten to check the caller id but when her mother replied I easily recognized  her voice. I told her why I was here. And she told me how Rutvika was supposed to pick up her siblings as they were busy in a charity event. I assured her that I would pick up her siblings. Then her mother told me about Megan, her two years younger sister and Veer, her 2 years older brother. I think I've seen Megan maybe. After getting their address, I slowly moved from my place taking Rutvika's tiny hear from my shoulder and placing her in a sleeping position with a pillow below her head. She can't sleep without a pillow. I left in my car and while picking those two kids, was shocked to see the similarities between Veer and Megan. I can definitely guess that Megan is Rutvika's step sister. But I think Veer is her half brother. Being a single kid, I never liked it. And seeing the siblings bond I sometimes feel jealous. But these two are just too cute to even make me feel jealous. If that makes sense. We were back home while I was shocked to see that Rutvika had already woken up.

She was already in the kitchen making white sauce pasta while singing and dancings to the songs she'd been playing from her phone. Still she was unaware that I'd been seeing her. The carefree smile on her face made me happy inside out.

I slowly moved into the kitchen came near her ear and shouted,"Boo." That's all it took for her to jump out of her skin and me to have a stomach ache after laughing too much. But after a few seconds of seeing me laughing she herself started laughing while her siblings came inside the kitchen to check on us.

Megan after the snacks instructed Rutvika to sleep again to which Rutvika reluctantly agreed and I was off of there.
