"Now you remember." Earth said.

His phone rings.

He looked at me.

"Yes auntie" he said and eyes locked on me.

"Yes, he is." He said and rolled his eye.

"Okay see you." He then sighed.

The road we take is to Dome's family house.

"Shit" i mouthed.

Tge gates opened and the house doors are open.

We went down from the car and Mom came to welcome us.

"Thank you Earth for bbringing your cousin and ofcourse to you." She said.

"Come son" she held my hand.
She holds on my arms and we walk into the house where evryone is waiting for me.

My Mae and Por looked at me.

But no questiins asked.

Yet.

"It is tea time" Mom announced. We moved to the garden.

As they have their tea.

And root beer for me and Earth.

Mom sit by my side.

"Son, you promised me" she said sad.

"I am sorry Mom. It just.." i sighed.

How can itell them, how can i explain.

"Dome is silent don't be" she said.

Time to break the heart of the family.
Two families mag i say.

"Okay i will tell you folks." I said.

"Pavel will tell us now." Kom announced.

All eyes on me.

I stand.
Gulped.

"Dome and i are not that updated anymore." I sighed them ti keep quiet first.
"Please Mom, Dad, Por Mae, k wik answer questiins layer. But hera me first." I said.

"We all want him to grow, i do, i really do. As much as i want to hold him tight, but he he cannot spread his wings if i hold on him. So i libe outside the university. The things is. One day we atlked and he said. He wants to give me my life back. He said he was ..." ommy why am i crying?

I wipe my tears.

Cleared my troat.

"He said. He was holding away my happiness, and i had sacrifices a lot for him. The guilt in his eyes and sadness in his face, made me just nood and leave and gave the suplicate of his key to the dorm master."

Mom who stands beside me hugs me.

"Dome is right you gave a lot to him and i think it is time. To let you do what you want." She said.

"Son, we thank you for everything you have done wigh ohr Dome." Ad said and hugged me.

"I love him Dad more than best friend more than sinling. I love him" i whispered as he hug me.

"I know. And thank you" he said.

Mom also hugged me.

Mae and Por came to pick me in a hug.

No words and it is comforting.

Our tea time became a bittersweet flash back for me. As our parents reminish our childhood.
It was like yesterday. That Dome and i where here with them having fun.

It was like yesterday when i say goodbye to them Dome was with his parents waving at us. But now only his parents stands there.

"You really love him" Earth said.
