My Cat

"Little Grape, we are going to create a lot of memories from now on. And this is our destiny."

Martha: ....

Martha left silent when she heard the words he said. She felt he was being emotional again. She wasn't getting the reason at all. She dislikes him for silly reasons and she couldn't help it. His words made her grip weaken and her firm eyes moved down. But she quickly snapped out as she backed off her face from him and tighten her grip again as she spoke.

"I don't know what you mean. I don't even have any mood to fight with you. I don't want to have any good or bad opinion on you. Don't mess with me. Or else, I'm going to rise level to hate you again."

The words Martha said made Victor frown his brows but he smiled as he moved his hands poked her on her side hips. Martha backed off her hands from the door as she was caught by his move. When Martha moved back Victor stopped and held her hand.

"I'm not going to give you any chance, Little Grape."

"You!!....."

"Come on, let's go! We aren't going to spend all the day here, right!?"

Even before Martha could react he opened the door dragged her along with him. Martha was not getting why this guy wasn't disturbed with her behaviour. He was still being gentle and smiling at her even though she wasn't behaving with him at all. He dragged her to the place where Scarlett was adjusting the stuff as he turned towards her.

"I can't be with you every second, right Little Grape!?"

"Who asked you to be with me anyways??"

Victor smiled and pinched her cheek gently as he gave his voice again.

"Well, I'm going to my brother now."

"Vincoln!!?"

"Don't get excited over him. You are not allowed in men's matters, you know."

Martha pouted as she spoke.

"I'm not excited over him. You don't need to mention that to me. You don't even need to mention anything. You can do anything you want. Why bother asking me??"

The guy smiled again as he took back his hand which was on her cheek and then left Martha in the stuff as she moved to help her sister. Victor then halted for a moment and turned back to see her and seemed like he was satisfied seeing her immersing in the work. He continued walking till he reached Vincoln.

Vincoln was on the terrace of the apartment as he closed his eyes, feeling the pure air from the trees above. He heard footsteps getting closer indicating that there was someone behind him so he turned around.

"Ohh, It's you dude. So?? How's things with Martha. She looks clumsy huh!? But she looks more prettier now. She was the one I saw yesterday night, right?"

"Yeah, She was the one. She's growing now, but her mind still doesn't accept me. I'm not getting the reason. I thought she was going to be excited when she met me, but everything turned upside down. She is still a kid from her mind. She barely remember me now. I feel bad, Vinny." Victor's face was pale showing his pain over the matter. He was looking at the clear sky and closed his eyes.

"You know, right?" Vincoln said as he looked at his brother.

"I know, but I don't want her to dislike me. We're going to be in same class after all." He didn't avert his eyes from the sky he was admiring.

"You must make her recall everything."

"Well, We'll see what happens. She can't be like this forever, right!?"

"But, She'll know right after you play piano. That can get her memories back."

"Let's get back, Vinny. We mustn't let them do everything. We need to lay a hand too."

"What about the talk then??"

"We can continue later. It's not like we're going to be separated again."

In the hallway of Victor and Vincoln's house.

" Ahh Charlie, There are kids here. You can't bring alcohol." Complained Martha's mother Molly.

"Don't worry. Our kids are matured enough. I and James need this, Molly."

Victor's father was James. He was the mentioned school mate who loved and married Bethany. After moving everything into the house. Martha slept in Bethany's room seemed too tired of lifting heavy things. She did the most of work that she didn't let her sister lift the weights while the boys were also adjusting heavy things with her. Scarlett was sitting beside Martha patting Martha's forehead as it was a habit of Martha that when she was sleeping her sister must pat her forehead.

Vincoln entered the room as Scarlett placed her forefinger on her lips to keep calm and she signaled him to come over. He moved closer and Scarlett then began to whisper.

'She was really tired. Let her sleep for a while.'

'Yeah, I got that. I'll be here. You, go and rest now.'

'It's okay. I need to stroke her head gently. She'll wake up otherwise.'

'Do you mind if I do that?'

'Is that fine with you??'

'Yeah, I'll do it. You just go and take rest.'

'Okay, thank you Vinny.'

'It's Nothing!!' said as he shrugged.

Vincoln took Scarlett's job and patted sleeping Martha's forehead as gently as he could. She was fast asleep that her breath was heavy and her movements were deep. Her pleasant sleeping face made Vincoln smile and he become even gentle as he place himself around her head. He right elbow leaning on the pillow above Martha's head and he patted her from the opposite side. He wasn't looking at her when her voice made him take a glance and he smiled.

"Mmm.. huff...huff.."

Martha's strand of hair was on her face that it reached her lips and Martha tried to blow it off in her sleep. Her action made Vincoln chuckle as he touched her cheek and removed the strand of her hair. She seemed uncomfortable so he moved back and patted her leaning on the headboard.

The door suddenly opened and Vincoln turned towards door to signal whoever it was to be silent but for his surprise it was Victor.

"What are you doing??"

Victor asked him loudly that nearly woke Martha and Vincoln immediately placed his forefinger on his lips as he uttered 'hushhh' like Scarlett did. Victor tilted his head and saw the yawning little cat beside his brother. He moved closer and squatted on the floor beside the bed as he looked at her pleasant sleeping face.

"My Cat is even cuter while sleeping, huh!!"
