LET'S WAIT

He asked after looking at the food, "Have you eaten something?" I said, "Yes." I knew that if I had said no he would say us to eat first. Therefore, baa took the eatables. I returned to Salaam and sat with him. He was picking up stones and examining it. I put my head on his shoulder and said "bro. I would not have been able to do this all without your help and braveness. You have not let me feel the weakness of a brother. I do not know how I will be able to repay your kindness. Love you man." He held my hand and said, "You are as a brother to me. I felt it as an obligation to help you. Moreover, the other thing I do not want to make you repay me. Just do me a favor that never leave my side. Help me in everything like I did. Nothing else." Then I stood up and started roaming around. I found two long strong sticks. I got an idea to kill bores. I said "Salaam get up. Let us have some fun. Here you go your sword. Imagine we are on a ship and fighting with pirates. You are a pirate and I am the captain of the ship." He replied quickly "what? Why should I be the pirate? Why don't you become the pirate?" I said "ok bro. Argh. Pirate on your ship." Then we slashed our sticks with each other's. Then we started playing. While we were playing, we heard a noise. We quickly threw the stick and went to baa. He was sleeping. Then we quickly picked up the broom and mop and started sweeping the rocky floor. A man came and said "you both. You are still sweeping. When will you complete. Complete it and go to your homes." I replied "sir. We both will go at night. Ok?" he said, "It's up to you." and went away. I sighed. We spent our day playing and exploring the gutters. I know it was not a nice place to explore but it was exiting. We challenged that let us see who collects the most rocks in the gutter. At last, it was midnight. I woke baa up and carried him on my shoulders again. Then we exited the gutter and did the same thing. We hid in the bushes and walked in crouch in the bushes until we reached out of the sight of the spotters on the minarets. I was so excited that I had a continuous smile on my face...
