Chapter 6
Her eating disorder was getting worse but she didn't care much. What she wanted was to escape the cruelties of world.
Soon she could hear her mother woes and cries on the phone with her dad about how sad she was for her daughter. Natalie wanted to change but she really thought no one liked her, utterly ignoring the love of her mother.
She was consistently chasing the 'slim' culture which was making her perish day by day.
She went to school and made some new friends too but remained sad and gloomy.
She started to escape people by reading books. She kept on reading not quietly comprehending what she was exactly doing to her life.
She made a very weird friend who kept on feeding weird shit to her brain.
While she was constantly attracted to another group of friends who seemed more of a better choice, they sounded merry.
One day she had an encounter with them and she knew that her other friend was quite distant to her instead they were close to her.
However, summer vacations came and she visited her father who was so crippled up in his work that he wasn't able to give her enough time.
But her cousin as I mentioned was close to her. He didn't say anything when he saw her. He was shocked. Completely taken out from his trance, couldn't just dump in the fact what he was seeing.
Natalie's face was quite recovered now, so she didn't look like an alien. She was wearing baggy clothes to hide the fact of her weakness.
He kept on staring her for a while. But he tried to make her happy in any way possible. He brought her honey cake. She loved honey cake but she refused him. He played video games with her. She had nothing to do so she agreed to playing.
He spent more and more time with her. She fought with him for no reason, she was a 'little' changed.
He remained persistent to recover her.
They went to more parks and places.
She had lost her period from that eating disorder and was gloomy about it and had those 'mood swings'.
But on her 2nd week of staying there, he took her to her favourite park.
He ordered her favourite ice cream which she couldn't resist after all.
It was night time. It was a far distance from her home actually it was the other city. They initially came with their parents but soon lost their sight.
For some reason they left their phones in the car which was now nowhere to be found.
She was getting stressful and all but soon he pointed towards the 'swing'.
"'tush loves swings' don't you tush? "
He said smiling
This was her nickname which only her cousin called her and she hated this name but always smiled at it.
"yeah, I do so now that you have pointed, we should take the swings"
She said coarsely
"sure tush"
As they sat on the swings and she started riding it. She felt a mental satisfaction followed by joy and this indeed followed by laughter.
She laughed for the first time in many days.
Her innocent laughter were changed into slight pain in her belly.
As she stopped and groaned her cousin was more than concerned for her.
"what happened tush! "
He shouted
"nothing, can we find a restroom?"
She said hiding her cries.
He took a hold of her hands and finally they found a restroom.
She got her period back and her mood was developing, ever since she lost it she was in despair.
As she came out of the restroom, she hugged her cousin so hardly. He hugged her back.
Then they walked along the park and she talked with her cousin, she told him she needed to learn how to skate since she was developing a very big interest in it.
He listened to her and they laughed.
"c'mon. You are the best skater of all times. Be my teacher"
She said pleading like a 4 year child.
They soon found their parents and she hugged her mother.
"where were you both we were so worried for you"
Said Natalie's aunt.
"we were actually riding swings and yeah we were eating ice cream and King literally threw his ice cream while showing me how he defeated all his friends in a video game. "
Natalie laughed at the part
And soon all of them started laughing.
King was his cousin's nickname which she only called him.
As they were heading back to the city her cousin screamed to stop at a sports shop.
He opened the door holding Natalie's hand and they both ran to the shop.
Their parents parked and too were in afterwards.
Her cousin selected a pair of pink skaters for her, a pink helmet, gloves and all the safety equipments needed.
"well, King why are you selecting a tons of these safety things? , it's completely useless"
She said raising her eyebrows
"it isn't, you know I thought I shouldn't at the first place too, but I fell so hard on my first try that I had to buy these the next day"
He said shivering, remembering the moment.
As they reached the home, Natalie started saying stubbornly,"I want to ride it now, right now"
Her cousin said" we will tomorrow, trust me I want to too "
Then they went to sleep and as her cousin opened his eyes the next morning Natalie was standing in front of him.
Rubbing his eyes, he gave her a 'what' look.
She screamed in his ears "I swear to god, if you don't wake up I'm gonna pour an entire bucket of water on you. "
On this he ran to the bathroom and soon was all well dressed in his grey shorts and white shirt.
Natalie was buckling her pink skates and lose miserably.
Then her cousin came and helped her.
"OK, so now well, we are going out you will hold me the whole way. Cause I don't wanna get you injured or anything."
He told
As they headed out she tried but was afraid . Soon her cousin came and helped her. As she was getting more scared.
Soon her cousin pulled her to him and she fell on him. She was astonished that what just happened.
'why did he do that'
He kept on gazing through her eyes until Natalie's mother came and helped her to get up.
"Natalie what did you do?, poor Vaso,are you both fine"
Her mother whined.
"We are completely fine, she was having trouble in learning"
Vaso, her cousin said or lied(for that situation)
"I think I'm done with it I will try to learn it some other time"
Natalie said excusing herself
The next day both(Natalie's and Vaso's ) parents went out of city for some family matter and left them both behind.
They were playing gta San Andreas, when Vaso said he is gonna come in a minute.
Soon she realised a peck on her neck, she was scared and as she looked back
Vaso grabbed her wrists and tried to take her to the bed, he was quite successful but Natalie has been learning Karate and had some skills gained.
She came out of his grip and ran to the other room and locked it from inside. She cried until her parents came back and took a blade like thing to scar herself.
She couldn't comprehend what was happening and soon fall asleep.
The next day all the family members boomed on the door till she opened.
She came out and
said"we just had a fight yesterday"
She didn't wanted to form a barrier between her relatives and so proceeded to remain silent.
"oh you people quite often have fights,
Did you apologise to each other"
Her mother said
"yes, we did"
Natalie said
The last day of her stay here came and
Vaso came to her room and said
"I wanted to say that you are my true love since we were child, I liked you always.i wanted to tell you and thought physical connection to be a better way of confessing"
"we are cousins"
She said coarsely
"I know but cousins can love too it's not a sin or something. I know it's too much for you to take but I wanted to confess before its too late"he said sighing
"OK" was the only thing she uttered
