Chapter 13

Grace's Point Of View,

What the hell is wrong with me? Why I am thinking about him like that?

Yeah I know he is a nice guy but I should not think about him like that. I have to focus on my studies, but my mind just could not stop thinking about him.

I just took my phone out of my pocket and opened Instagram to search for his name and here he was. Top on the list, his account was open and I quickly tapped on it and saw his handsome face.

Wait, I just called him handsome. I mean yes he is handsome, but I just can not think about him like that.

I saw his pictures and then read the comments on them. Every picture was having thousands of comments, and most of them were obviously from girls. They were crazy about him.

He was popular, and I just thoughts that he is just a random guy. I should have known that he has a great fan following. Then why would he waste his time behind me? That does not make any sense. I just closed my phone and put it aside.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I do not understand why he is showing that he is interested in me. Why he was following me back then and asking my name?

And in the library, what was all that? I again shake my head so that I can stop thinking about him. Maybe he was just curious to know my name so that he could make fun of me as others do.

I know in this college no one made any trouble yet, but I can not forget my precious memories. I am trying hard but it is a little complicated.

I just dismissed all my stupid thoughts away and again started writing my assignment. I know I am just thinking too much, but I promise I am trying my best to get over these things.

I have a great new life. I can not waste it by thinking too much about my stupid past, so I tried to smile and finish my work as soon as possible.

I looked towards Anna she was sleeping now. I felt good that she could sleep. It took me two hours to finish my assignment, but I am glad that I could finish it on time.

I was about to get up from the chair but mom knocked on the door and came inside without getting any reply. I chuckled a little as my mom works like a super-fast machine.

"Oh honey, you were here for too long so I just thought to get a check on you. And here, drink this juice. You are eating so less lately", she said and handed me the glass of juice.

"Oh, she is sleeping. I got one for her too", she said while looking at Anna's sleeping figure. I could see that she was genuinely happy for Anna. I could see it in her eyes, they were shining like they got some kind of treasure. I am so happy for Anna.

"It is okay mom, she will have it later. Why do not you drink it, you are working all the time these days, so you also need some energy. And also now you have another one like me, so you need extra energy to handle us", I said and made her drink that juice, and she chuckled hard.

"I am ready to do work all the time, even more, as long as I am having such angels in my home", she said and kissed my head. I closed my eyes for a second, it was the purest love. I never know if my real mother could love me this much in this life.

"Thank you so much, mom. I just love you so much", I said and she smiled so brightly.

"Kids should not say a thank you to their parents okay", she said and I just nodded with a smile.

"Mom, see I finished my assignment before the time. I am so happy", I said as a kid and I saw admiration in her eyes for me. And she looked at my notebook and checked it, her eyes shining as she looked at me.

"Oh, honey, you did great work and also I am just loving your handwriting so much. How did you learn to write like that", she asked me after seeing my curvy handwriting.

"I used to learn it in the orphanage from kids' notebooks. No one knows there that I was learning it", I told her and I saw a proud smile on her face I smiled back and she patted my back with so much love.

"I am so proud of you my honey", she said kissing my cheeks.
