Nithila
"How's my baby girl? Where is she by the way?" Nadhiya asks over the skype call.
"Nila is fine. She's still asleep.." I tell her.
"How come she's asleep till eight in the morning?"
"It's because of her meds.." My throat clamps painfully. Nila is better now but the treatment has brought a lot of visible changes in her system and one of them is her sleep cycle. My otherwise active child is drowsy all through the day and hardly wants to eat anything.
"Ohh.." I can literally see my sister's face crumble at the mention of it but she hides the grief quickly with an encouraging smile. "She'll be fine, akka. Don't worry.."
"Hmm.." I want to believe it even after all the uncertainty inside my head.
I turn around when the main door opens and Kavin comes in after his morning practice.
