"Well...." Master paused. I was scared to hell with his words and tone. I shouldn't have called Ma'am as 'Mum', master must be angry.
"Can you call me dad too?" He said after a few seconds of silence."What?" It wasn't me who said that. It was mum."What?. Honey, he calls you mum and me master. It's unfair. Martin calls me Dad ." Master said with a soft smile."You scared the child, Mathew," Mum said as she came towards us."Oh, I'm sorry. It's my tone, I can't change it." Master replied while shrugging his shoulders."Martin. Call me 'dad'." Master asked me.I still kept my face down, it really feels different and I'm really scared to call master a dad."Dear, don't put pressure on the poor kid. He's scared, see." Mum said as she grabbed me in her arms."Oh, it's fine. Just call me dad whenever you feel like it. Okkay?" Master said, to which I replied with a head nod.
It was our first day of high school and mum told us the same thing 'Don't beat others together'. At least in middle school, that fight happened in our second year but in high school, it was in the first few months. When we came home, we both didn't bleed much but yes there were signs that we got into a fight. "What is it this time?" Mum asked. Even she got used to our fights. "A guy threatened Martin saying he will beat him if Martin didn't do his homework," Adam explained. Yeah, that part was right but he didn't tell mum the whole thing. I rejected doing his homework and he caught me by the collar and was about to punch when Adam punched him and.....that's how the fight broke out. "I declined it. But he didn't stop and tried to beat and..." Mum stopped me from completing a sentence and spoke first. "And that's how the fight broke out and you two didn't start it. Is that what you are gonna say?" Mum asked while folding her hand
From then on everything started getting...weird and hard. It started acting strangely in front of him and the moment we were alone...I can't control my thoughts of being near him and holding him in my arms. I didn't know if this love is a brotherly one or the lover one.....maybe the second one more. Everything he comes close to me, I find changes in me. My body starts reacting...my mind feels unusually active...making all my senses work more. My eyes start working looking at every inch of his face....my nose only smells his scent that tempts me into losing control.....my ears love to listen to his voice....more when he calls my name....my lips want to taste his lips, to know if he feels as sweet as he acts. My skin reacts to every touch he makes and the tingling sensation I get every time his breath touches my body...They make it really hard to control my feelings and my mind always tells me to give up and lose in him. There were times when I almost l
My brain stopped interpreting things. I can't believe what my ears heard. "I broke up with Claire." He said and let out a sigh. "You broke up with her?" I asked just to get a double confirmation. "Yes. I mean, it's not like she and I were in any relationship or something. Even it's a fling I stopped it." He said while shrugging his shoulders. "Why?" I asked in a quiet tone. I tried hard to control the smile my lips were about to unleash. I was happy that he let go of his fling and single again but at some part, I still feel sad that he's single again and there's no way he will be with me. Adam moved aside and sat beside me. I got up from bed and sat on it. "I just gave a thought to what you said." He replied. "Will you spill it?. I'm not getting anything from your half words." I said with a bit impatient tone. You don't know how happy one becomes when the person you have one side love from gets s
Everything was going good and even after going to Australia Adam didn't have any girlfriend saying it was only a fling, even though our misconceptions are cleared, I still kept my flirting behavior. It made me not feel lonely since Adam was away. But one day he called like usual to say the weirdest thing. "You have called after a long time," I said as soon as I answered the call. "Yeah, I have been busy with work, lately." He sounded exhausted. "You sound tired. Why don't you take a rest?. We can talk after you get free." I replied. His health would get disturbed if he does these acts. There's a reason why I and mum shouted at him when he wanted to take both Business Administration and Photography courses in University. "I'm fine. Not much tired. Moreover, it's almost been a month since I spoke to you." He said with a soft tone. "You know it's crime to talk in such a soft tone if you know that the other person has f
The next morning, I woke up and went downstairs. I met mum at the dining table. "Morning, Martin." Mum greeted with her usual warm smile. "Morning, mum." I greeted back and sat at one of the chairs at the dining table. "I made your favorite breakfast," Mum said with a big smile. "Thanks, mum. You do spoil me too much." I said as I started eating. "Of course, a mum would spoil her child, in a good way," Mum said with a smile and I let out a small chuckle in reply. "Did you get a call from Adam, yesterday?" Mum asked after a few minutes of silence. "Yeah." I nodded my head in reply. "And that he won't come home for a week?" Mum added. "Come on, mum. It's just a week. He promised to come back on his birthday." I said trying to comfort her. "He also promised to come back as soon as he gets graduated," Mum added and hung her head down. "Mum, I want to see hi
"I'm sorry, dear. Your heart must be devastated." Mum said with a comforting tone. "It was. But I'm happy, that he loves me as a brother. I can't ask for more." I replied with a weak smile. "Then why do I see the pain, dear?. You know you can cry right?" Mum said while placing one of her hands on my shoulder for comfort. I couldn't hold back my tears anymore and I burst one. I started crying out all the pain I have been holding for the past years. "I love him, mum. I love him so much." I said in between my sobs. "I understand. We can only give love but can never ask for it. First love's always hard to forget but my son's strong, he will come over it." She comforted me. I cried for some time and stopped crying after a few minutes. "Feeling better?" Mum asked. "A bit yes. It feels like a part of weight has been lifted off from my chest." I replied in a low tone. "See. You shouldn't hold bac
"What are you starving for?" I asked as anger started on me. "You really want to know?. Why didn't any of you tried to contact me?" He asked with a bit loud tone. "We did. Why didn't you inform us where you are going." I said in the same tone as he is. "That's an excuse. I didn't know the plan was changed until we got there." He yelled back. "You know what, that's an excuse too. No one thought that would have happened and when it happened it was already late. Don't shout at us everyone is suffering as much as you are." I replied as the anger raised in me. He's speaking without thinking and making lame excuses what was I supposed to do?. I was in as much pain as he is. "You should have waited for me." He shouted on my face. "You really thought, Master, didn't try?. We waited for two days until the people we sent searched for you. The only way to wait for longer was to let mum wait in the morgue. It took you four
As I walked towards his bed, I saw him sleeping peacefully. I sat beside him resting my back on the headrest. When I turned towards him, I saw how pleasant he is. I started stroking his hair gently and he moved towards me in response. I slid my hand behind his neck making him sleep on his arm and he adjusted his head on my arm comfortable in his sleep. I was looking at him still stroking his hair when I saw him murmuring something. I went near him to hear and... "It's all my fault. I'm sorry." That was what he's murmuring again and again. I can't explain how much it hurt me. He's blaming himself even though he did nothing. "It's not. It was never your fault, Adam." I whispered back while placing my forehead on his. My voice was trembling and I was feeling the same pain as he is. He was crying because he couldn't be here and I was crying because I couldn't do anything even if I was here and that hurts a lot. But I can't show my weakness....at l
