ThEoRy: Barack Obama could control the weather!? ☁🌡

After the tragic events of Hurricane Sandy, some newspapers started spreading the message that this event might have been engineered by none other than Barack Obama. It was that the president used to create the hurricane, and some people even spoke about this being a way for the president to be reelected.

ANYWAYS ENJOY :)

Sahana P.O.V.

"Hii maa." I smiled, speaking through the phone.

"Hi kozhanda (baby), how are you doing?" just by hearing her voice, my mind and body felt at ease.

My family is made up of four: Me, Maya my mother, Arvind my dad, and Rishi my younger brother.

"I'm doing fine, just things are getting a little hectic in the office because of the launch that's all. I'm sorry I wasn't able to talk to you because of that." I pouted.

"Ah don't worry about me, think about Appa(Dad) and Rishi! You KNOW your dad and his paranoias."

I went silent.

My eyes became glossy.

A tiny, "yeah." escaped my mouth.

I put a hand to my stomach, remembering the location of the biggest cut, now scar.

I sniffled, "But it's ok. The nightmares are occurring less and less often now."

Ma sighed in relief, "Anyways, your brother is literally studying in NYU, WHICH is near you. Have you visited him anytime recently? I mean he's your goddamn brother?!"

I wiped my eyes, "Pfft he's finee. The dummy is gonna graduate soon, he's probably living his life right now."

I heard a sigh from her, "Please, just make sure to call Appa ok? He obviously misses you more than I do."

I gasped, "Are you saying you don't miss me Amma?!"

"Nooo I'm jokingg of course I miss youuu my babyyy. Wonderful, beautiful kozhandaaa mwah mwah."

I laughed then suddenly began to cough.

"Are you ok? Go get some thani (water)."

"Yeah I'm going *cough* *cough*"

"Are you sick baba? Make some rasam (soup) for yourself." I could already hear the worried tone in her voice.

"No ma I'm ok. Its probably just a little cold. I'll be A-OK kavala padadhai (don't worry)."

"Ok, BUT why don't you visit LOOSU (idiot)."

"MA I JUST TOLD YOU, THE LAUNCH. THAT'S MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY RIGHT NOW." "Besides, you only live like 2 hours away, I can come anytime."

"Ok, ok. But besides that, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GET MARRIED."

I rolled my eyes, "OH MY GOD MA NOT THIS AGAIN?! HOW DO YOU ALWAYS BRING THIS TOPIC INTO EVERY SINGLE CONVERSATION WE HAVE?!"

"YOU'RE 23 YEARS OLD SAHANA. YOU'RE LUCKY IM THAT MOM WHO WONT JUST GO FIND SOME UGLY MAN WITH MONEY, ARRANGE YOU WITH HIM, AND MAKE YOU LIVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE BY HIS SIDE."

"SO, GO FIND SOMEONE BEFORE I CHANGE MY MINDSET LIKE EVERY BROWN AUNTY OUT THERE, OK?!" I brought the phone slightly away from my ears, still being able to hear ma's yelling.

There was no need to put it on speaker.

"Ok, ma *cough* I'll go find a wonderful man that will meet all the millions of expectations you have, ok?"

"He will be a handsome Indian man who *cough* will have all the money in the world and will produce an unlimited number of grandkids for you and only you."

"He will cook up a delicious feast for you and Appa, play games with *cough* Rishi because that's the good older-brother-in-law he is, take care of the 5 dogs running around the house, and embrace the beautiful religion that is Hinduism."

"Yeah ma, no problem."

"There are so many men like that around the world, it'll be easy peasy to find one."

"ACHOO!"

I heard no reply.

"Hello?" I put the phone back to my ear.

Then out of nowhere,

"FIRST OF ALL,"

My eardrums exploded.

"MA?!" she ignored me,

"I DON'T have a million expectations ok?!"

"I just want you to find a man that would suit our family's lifestyle, that's all."

I scoffed as she continued,

"SECOND OF ALL, YOU'RE SICK. GO DRINK SOME MEDICINE LOOSU."

I groaned, "OK FINEE but I'm tellin you I'M NOT SICK."

"Ah just shut up and go drink your medicine. I have to go ok, I love you." "I love you too maa."

I heard the beep of the thermometer and looked down at the temperature.

"Fuck, I'm sick."

Jai P.O.V.

"Ahhfhfsjksdkcd," Random noises came out of me as I yawned and stretched, "Good morning Amigaa." I smiled at her yawning too.

"Ah, I'm so happy it's a Sunday." I got up from bed and opened the curtains, revealing the bright morning sky.

"How beautiful."

It always fascinates me.

How one word can express countless meanings.

A perfect example, beautiful.

The beautiful sky.

The beautiful weather.

The beautiful animals.

The beautiful artwork.

The beautiful woman.

Words are seen and heard everywhere.

From being displayed onto a piece of paper,

to flowing out of someone through speeches, and songs.

They change lives.

Both positively and negatively.

People may think words are just letters clumped together to give names to objects.

But they can be made into something so much more.

They bring things to life.

They deliver such a deeper meaning to things.

And people yet to realize that.

I looked down at all the moving cars on the busy streets and pointed at them, "Hehe ya'll have to go to work, nat me."

I checked the time on my phone: 8:45

"Oki let's go brush moi teeth."

I set my breakfast down on the coffee table in the living room.

Delicious cinnamon Belgian waffles topped with an assortment of fresh berries, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and cinnamon maple syrup on the side to dip.

I checked my phone. "Hmm, anything to do today?"

To do list: NOTHIN

"Hell yeaa." I tossed my phone on the couch and turned on the T.V.

"Let's chillax the fuck outta today hehe."

"OH, that breakfast was FILLING. And delicioso hehe." I let out a breath laying back on the couch and patted my tummy.

"Agh, I cant get upp," I turned to Amiga, "Help me please." I extended an arm out for her not to grab it.

"Fine, I'll get up myself. You were amazing help, thank you so much." She continued to stay comfy on the couch, while I washed the dishes.

I walked and plopped back onto the couch, while scrolling through TV shows to watch, but I eventually gave up, "Goddamn it I can't find anything."

Eventually, I turned off the TV and looked at Amiga fidgeting all over the couch, moving side to side.

"Yeah, you need to go for a walk girlie." I laughed rubbing her ears then kissed her forehead.

I pushed myself off the couch once again and grabbed her leash.

I turned around to see Amiga staring up at me, wagging her tail in excitement.

"You excited? Hehe, I know you are." I crouched down connecting the leash to her collar and grabbed a coat before closing the door behind me.

2 steps in, I suddenly heard,

"ACHOO!!"

I jumped in surprise.

"What the hell was that?!"

I turned to where I heard the noise and landed my eyes on an apartment door.

Sahana's.

"Was that Sahana?"

I walked closer to her door and placed an ear onto it.

"A, A, AA, ACHOO!" I immediately brought my ear back and felt my eardrum ring.

"Jeez this woman has a voice."

I then felt my phone buzz and saw that I got a message.

My eyes slowly widened as I read over the message.

Sahana: Hey can you come over?
