Picking up Austin in my lap I take step closer to my room.

I  haven't been there from last three years.

"Wait maa, I check first." Austin says as he makes me stop in my track.

"But why ? Maa want to see your drawings." I playfully pout my lips, making Austin giggles.

"Close your eyes, no cheating."

Putting Austin back in floor I place my both hand on my eyes securely closing it.

"Let's go."  Austin cheers in happiness as he get a hold of my shirt with one  hand and open the door of my room.

At first it doesn't feel anything different but when I step in my room, it's feel like I'm in my childhood again.

How I used to brought everyone in my room to show them my doll house, 

how I used to hide in the cupboard whenever I did something wrong,

how I used to play with my....

I put a stop button on my memory then and there. There is no purpose of thinking those things right now, all I want to enjoy the time with my son.

"Can maa open her eyes Austin ?" I ask Austin when I notice he vanishes all of a sudden.

"Austin? What are you doing honey?"

No answer.

"Austin? I'm going to open my eyes."

I removed my hand from my eyes as I see a person standing by the window with his back facing me. The sunrays are soo bring that my eyes are taking a little more time to adjust with it.

But when they did...

My heart explodes.

The smell of familiar awakened memories long forgotten, echos in my room between us.

Between Me and Him.

My eyes stuck to his back contemplating whether I'm dreaming or it is my reality.

No it can't be...

He can't be here, it's impossible.

But my mind stop telling me when he turns, memory passes once more my ears are hearing those voices.

Our conversations,

Our promises.

He looks just the same I remember but more handsome than ever. Like in this three year he has grown up more. His baby blue eyes staring me back with something I used to crave for. I couldn't hold so I avert my gaze.

"How are you ?" He asks suddenly.

"I...I did...nt kn..w." I stammer and turn my heel to leave the room just then a arm wraps around my elbow restraining me there.

The electricity jolts from where he's holding me, I know he can feel that too that why he removes his hand immediately.

"I just want to talk to you about something." He says avoiding my gaze, he's guilty for holding me like that.

"I won't take your time too much." He informs when he sees I'm not saying something.

I nod my head in response.

"Everything wasn't your fault." He says. I look at him with furrowed eyebrows.

Is he seriously wanna talk about everything that happened between us?.

"Excuse me? Who said I blame myself ?"

I try to calm my nerves, saying it's just a little talk, right now it doesn't look like a little talk.
