Two weeks after

Bella's pov

"Therefore if you have to choose between being kind and being right, choose being kind and you'll always be right. " I concluded my story with a quote by my favourite author Doctor Wayne Dyer.

"So done with the story time Gia?" Asked the nurse.

"Ahaan." Gia answered lazily, not wanting to go for the tests.

"Com'on Gia now don't make the doctor wait." Said Elena.

"Okayy mumma."
She replied and lazily went inside.

From my peripheral view I could see Elena shaking , I went towards her to comfort her.

"Be strong Ele, they're just some mere tests." I said

"They said they'll do the induction therapy once she is mentally prepared and when we clear all the dues . "

"I know, don't worry about anything right now , I am telling her about blood cancer and I'll soon tell her about her condition. I just want her to be prepared to handle it first .And about fee stuff we'll do something about it. "

She just sniffed and leaned on my shoulder.

9:30 pm

"Granny, they really need some help and we could help them."
I told Granny about Gia and Elena, I really wanted to share this thing with someone and also I needed someone's support. I was not capable to help them all by myself.

"Don't worry dear, talk to your father, I'm sure he'll help you. Andd if you're a kitten to do so don't worry , you have my back. "

I chuckled and thanked her for understanding me.

"I better go now, I have an assignment to deal with. "
I said and dismissed myself.

As I entered my I was welcomed by my phone ringing, it was Elen.

"Hello." I answered the call.

"Hello Bella sorry to disturb you. You probably would be studying right now. "

"No problem dear, now stop being to formal and lemme talk to my peanut, I know , she wants to talk to me. Right ?"

"Hmm. She was not listening to me and was whining to talk to you."

By how irritated she sound , I could tell Gia would have given her hard time, that made me giggle.

"Belle,,,hello?"
It was Gia , I loved how she would call me Belle, instead of Bella because she says I remind her of princess Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

"I'm here , you wanted to talk to me , Gia?"

"Umm, I just wanted to tell you that , you have to come to meet me , day after tomorrow. "

"Why the day after tomorrow? Is there something special?"

"It isss. And I am not gonna tell you, its a surprisee."

"Okay I'm not gonna ask."

"Okay, now you can cut the call."

"Why? Don't you wanna talk to me for some more time?"

"Umm. Not now you have to complete your homewok."

"Haha. Yeah I almost forgot about that , thank you for reminding me. "

"Your welcome. Now study nicelyy."

"Your wish my command, dear. Okay byee."

"Byeeeeee."

Thinking about it now I wonder, how can God be so partial? He's making an innocent girl suffer from such a deadly disease. Why is he bringing her near her end when she had not even explored the world she's living in?

What did she do so wrong to deserve this?

Why only her? Why not someone else?
There are so many cruel, evil people out there, making this world difficult to live in. Why not any of them?

Why an innocent, immature, pure child like her?

Soon I realized, how bitter I was being towards those people, even if they are evil.

Even if some people do unholy deeds.
We are no one to think ill of them , we know not if they're suffering from something deep , that we'll never understand.

Indeed , it is well said
"If you have to choose between being kind and being right, choose being kind and you'll always be right."

I sighed thinking how life is a paradox.

I opened my assignment. I had to write an essay about 'Life' , what an coincidence, I thought and began penning my thoughts on the white crimson paper.

I was done with my eassy , when scrolling through my phone it suddenly hit me, Harold didn't text me today. I remember sending him a 'hi' today morning and asking him jusy randomly about his health, I have got no reply yet.

From the day he went to Australia not even a single day had passed when we didn't text each other.

We've been texting and even video calling (only sometimes though) for almost a month now.

It is just so new for me to make this progress, this quick with someone who was an absolute stranger to me, not to long back. Anyways Harold had always been an exception for me.

Thinking, that maybe he was busy or maybe forget to text me I decided to let it slip.
Though the second option, didn't felt right.

As if he heard my thoughts he texted me at that instant.

Sorry for replying late, was actually stuck somewhere.

Absolutely no worries, I thought so, you must be busy.

Yeah, but not anymore...

He just sent me this incomplete message, expecting me to guess .
I couldn't help but type..

You coming back?

Great aiming technique 👍

I didn't know what to say in response, except to stay freeze with a pathetic, stupid grin, lingering on my face.

Well...technique was good but sorry to say you didn't aim right?

What do you mean? Talk in english please.

Okay I won't keep you in suspense anymore,,,I'm in California, America right now.

When did you land?

Just an hour ago.

I didn't know what else to say, my happiness knew no boundaries, that pathetic grin was still on my damn face .

So I wanted to ask you, if we could meet tomorrow?

Okay.

That's the first thing that came to my mind, I couldn't think of any other way to reply.

That's great.So your in charge of the timings and I'll decide the place then?

Fine by me👍.
I'll let you rest for now, I can relate to travel stress, you know.

Yeah , it was hectic.
Well, see you tomorrow then.

Bye.Sleep tight.

Don't let the bed bugs bite :)

I tried hard but miserably failed to cease the ear to ear smile that was threatening to come.
