Huh, your mum is fine, said Cealum with hesitation, as if he doesn't want to let him know the truth. He just assured him that they will be at home after some time. Although he tried his best to maintain his composure, he was still worried inside. On the other hand, even at the little age Waver got the emergency signal. He thought maybe, mama is suffering and only a magical hug from him can solve it. He has seen this in cartoons and it always works.
They drove safely home. Waver tried to open the door. He entered the house, then started to go straight to mom, when Cealum stopped him and said, bunny don't you think you should clean up yourself first before getting any closure from your mom?
Yes dad, saying that his lips got upside down, he then slowly went to the bathroom to wash his hands and clothes. Then he tied up all his books and then when he was excited to go to his mother's room Cealum again stopped him by saying, Waver,,,don't you think your mother will be upset if you go to her without eating anything? And also with that skinny body will you be able to hug her in the magical way?
Waver just gives a rough pout as if he is angry, but his stomach is not shutting. So he ate the food Cealum made and then washed his hands again. Then, when Cealum was washing all the dishes, Waver went to him and said, "Can I go now?" Or you're gonna tell me something else. Seeing his grumpy cute face Cealum couldn't stop smiling. He said, yes your honor. You may go now.
Waver didn't wait for the answer. He rushed so that his father couldn't say anything before he got to Maris's room. He opened the door and just screamed a little with the joyous force, mama!!! I am back. You wanna hear what happened at school today? Mama?
He saw his mothers body motionless. A shiver got down his spine. He slowly started to get closure to her, trembling. Mama? Are ..y.you okay? Mama ?
He got closer to the bed. Mama?? Slowly whispering while getting closure to her ear. When he got no response, scared and frightened by this motionless answer he screamed through his lungs and called his father. FATHERRR..
Maris got scared and sat down, seeing this Waver got more scared and he jumped out of the bed. Mama, you scared me!
No, you scared me. What happened? Are you ok? I was just sleeping a little bit.
A little bit??you were about to give me a heart attack, Waver murmured in mind.
Meanwhile Cealum came dashing to the door and said, what happened Waver? Is everything alright Maris?
They just looked at him with the same face and said, you are late. Cealum literally just thought, does Waver take all the reaction from his mom, is he a carbon copy of her. Please Waver, atleast behave rationally like me in the future.
Cealum just said, ok. If everything is alright I might just go and prepare for dinner. Waver come and help me after talking with mama. Today we will make your and mama's favourite dessert.
Ok dad, said Waver. He then hugged his mom tightly. Maris hugged him back. He looked up with a soft smile and eyes closed, mom? Did you miss me?
Yes of course honey, how could i not miss my bunny when he is out without me. Saying this she started to tickle him. Waver started to laugh joyously while saying, mom.. Please stop it. You are gonna make me cry.
Maris was enjoying the scene very much but her weakness just didn't concern her. She then stopped tickling which was sudden for Waver. He looked up to his mom's face. She has never looked this old to him, he got a little upset with mom's suffering face. He then asked mom like a grownup, mom? Is it hurting you? Tell me. I will keep hugging you with my magical hug. And if it still doesn't work I will bring my magical sword and cut down the illness monster. So don't be sad.
Looking at the innocence of her child, she was helpless. She tilted his face a little bit up and said, i am okay bunny. You shouldn't worry too much, or mama will get more sick. Do you want mama to get more sick and go to grandparents ' home? Waver declined by shaking his head.
Then Waver said, ok mom. I will listen to you. But promise me you won't leave without me. I also want to meet my grandparents, but with you. Saying this he gave his beautiful eye smile. And then he slowly got out of his mother's lap. Gave a little hand wave and closed the door so that no one could come near his mother.
Whereas Maris was thinking, what will Waver do if she is not around here. She laid down and looked at the ceiling. The ceiling is making her heart crumble , she doesn't know why. But it looks like symbolizing emptiness, she just feels pathetic that she can't help Cealum or Waver, she feels useless. Changed her position to the side. Closed her eyes. And just saw a happy pic of their family. She then determines her mind to not give up. All those bad thoughts were so much bothering her, she didn't even notice when her eyes got closed. She feels really weak, that small nap was full of nightmares.
Cealum finished his work, then he went up to check on Maris just to find out…
