k-give me ur jacket quick! It's a kitten it got hit i think its legs broken
s-umm why don v leave it here maybe its mum will come for it
k-NO! Its abandoned !Don't just stand there, ur jacket QUICK!!
there goes my Gucci jacket uugh stupid girls if only nick didn't love her so much...s-fine take it!
k carefully wrapped the kitten in his jacket and went back to the car while s was standing there gaping seeing his fav. jacket getting ruined...
k-Quit staring!! U mutt common v need to get home Fast!
s-what about pet hospital
k(dangerously)-its far and if u don't get me home quick u'll need to b in the hospital!!
s-O.K. Relax! man what a psycho....
On reaching home k quickly cleaned up the wound the leg wasn't badly hurt but a slight fracture was possible....
k- V need to treat and feed her now! She's too weak to b take to the hospital.. get me some hot water.. warm milk.. eyedropper bottle and gauze and first aid kit.. SCOOT!!!!
S looks at her wild eyed wow! who is this girl last time he remembered she was this shrimp following her brother around when did she become so bossy and how does she know all this?
S brings all the stuff and watches her as she takes care of the kitten-sooo...how do u know its a she?
k frowns at him what a lame ques.-Coz it is. Whats there to know..
s-No i mean it could be a boy...how can u b so sure(he wanted to know if she was very interested in animals)
k-B'coz u can see its not a he.
s-See what?
k-umm'not see the...the male part..
s-ohh..i mean i didn't know where i..mean..i...know where..what I don't know is how do u know all this stuff? about cats, all the bandage and gender thing and whats the eye drob bottle for....?
k-I am a bio student(he dosent even know my branch ouch that hurts), give me ur hanky...
k was done cleaning and was bandaging the wounded cat she but her hair kept falling on her face making it difficult for her to work properly
k-"darn stupid hair" trying to manage the kitten and the bandage with 1 hand.. when s skims her hair off her face and holds it at her scalp bending towards
s-There that wud help...So whats the bottle and hanky for?
k a bit red finished the bandaging and poured some warm milk in the small bottle and put a small piece of s's hanky(torn now) at its nozzle
s-"ooh..oh i get it!U'll feed it! Nice !"he said smiling at her
k-um yah! U can let go ..of my hair now(or not i loooovvvvve it like this)I.. can manage now
s- oh yah i..i..jus..uhm(clears his throat)its nice to touch ur hair..i mean its fine quality..nick's got really bad hair..i cant even smack his head .........can i feedthecat?
K looks at him doing a mental jig.. He likes my hair he likes my hair !Oh yessss!No way was a scissor coming near my hair now he likes 'em Uhuh he likes 'em and he wants to feed my cat he likes the caat
k carefully starts to give the kitten to him" What is THAT thing???!!!!!" Nick shouts from the door
k-oh this poor thing was lying on-
N-Kashish how many times have v told u that u r not supposed to pick up stray animals from road
k-But bhai! It was hurt and it need-
N-Sujal how cud u let her-
s-Hey don't blame me she insisted on bringing the diseased thing here, i was just dropping her. and now i am going, u sort it out i am out of here.
S left hurriedly not wanting to a part of shouting battle between the 2 siblings
Later k made every1 let her keep the cat as her pet by shedding a few crocodile tears... arguing that she wud take it with her it wud give her company. In the night as she thought about the day it made her smile except for the part when s changed his side like a chameleon. 1 minute he was all crooning over mia(kittens name)and next he behaved as if it repulsed it, she hated him now. He was a two faced, week, ignorant pig. Unworthy of her attention and devotion... the chapter of Sujal Grewal was closed in her life she was finally gonna move on with new frnds and a new place.
While s lay in his bed thinking abt the little girl he had known all is life when did she grow a arguing and ordering tongue, but it was refreshing...girls always listened to him, never bossed him around and never glared at him..... He felt bad for turning his back on her, sure he liked the kitten but he didn't wanna go against his frnd. Loyalty to nick came above every thing. They had decided to take each others side after their big fight. Nothing was ever gonna break their frndship again- no career, no chick, and definitely no roadside rodent....
