NOVEL NEXT Chapter 19: You are a kid
"Aira it's not what you think this, it's because yesterday" saying it I realized my mistake and swallowed.
Aira looked at me doubtfully and said"What yesterday brother", changing my words I said"yesterday what yesterday, you seem to hear things I was saying that earlier I spilled ketchup while eating snacks it's not blood"
I hurriedly shouted whatever nonsense I could think of, and hoped she would believe it.
Aira looked at me and said "Is it true brother, you are not lying are you". I could feel Cold sweat on my forehead and looked at Witira as if asking for help she understood my request and helped me out.
When Witira was covering up my lie, I couldn't help but feel sorry, inwardly I said 'Sorry Aira, I couldn't help it, lying to you was not my intention and will never be, you don't know people like Witira are all around us and just a second of distraction is all they need to lead us to destruction I saw it once but not again, not any cost'
"You don't know, but I do, they are double-faced, They say one thing but end up doing another. This Witira if given a chance would teach ethics, morality, and what not, but if she has the choice she won't back down in using immoral methods to do what she thinks is right".
Witira grabbed my shoulder and while shaking it, she called out my name and said "what's wrong with you? What are you thinking?"
Snapping out of my thoughts I looked around only to see that Aira was not here and responding to Witira's question I said
"nothing",
Witira asked again "Are you sure, your face doesn't look good, It has an unusual coldness in it".
My thoughts might have had some effect on my facial expressions so managing my expressions I said "I'm fine, let's continue our interrogation" I turned to take my seat, but Witira grabbed my hand and said "What are you talking about, your injury is bleeding, and you want me to continue interrogation in this situation like really?".
I took a deep look at her and said "Is this the same officer who said she wanted me to answer some of her question while I was lying on a hospital bed".
It seemed like my words were sarcastic enough to trigger her rage and I could feel her grip tightening around my wrist as she said "I didn't know Hrithik can be this sarcastic but let me tell you one thing when I previously wanted you to answer my questions your injuries were all treated they were not bleeding like today, and you were resting, so my request was fair"
There isn't much difference I thought and said,
"It's not something for you to worry about I'm fine" I said, but she didn't mind leaving my hand and said "I don't think someone had ever told you, so let me tell you, YOU ARE A KID and now like a good kid you are going to get your injury treated"
