Innocence to Bravery - Page 26/181

Next day morning Adhira woke up and helped her mother in chores. Dhivya saw Adhira who had dark circles under her eyes which reflected that she had disturbed sleep.

Dhivya spoke up,” What happened Adhira?”

Adhira was still lost in thoughts. It was like her mind was over occupied with questions and wanted to pour out. Adhira felt it difficult to bear the weight on her mind as she had never been in such situations. She was unable to discuss with others in her home which made to stress herself even more.

Dhivya saw Adhira who was washing the utensils in silence and hadn’t heard her question as well. She shook her up and asked,” What happened?”

Adhira came back to her senses and faked a smile then said,” Nothing mom. Just feeling sleepy and was thinking about exams.”

Dhivya brushed her long hair and said,” Don’t stress yourself, Adhira.”

Adhira nodded her head and continued doing her works. She washed herself and dressed up in green skirt and yellow tops. She saw the time and felt that each minute which passes a new question arrived in her mind. She wanted time to run fast so that she can get rid of the mess in her mind and become just like the clouds after the rain.

Suresh and Uma also saw Dhivya who was stressed and not being herself. Suresh thought,” Is she feeling that she will leave us all soon?” and saw her watching the wall-clock. Uma then whispered in Suresh ears about Gayathri’s visit so Suresh started to make fun of her.
