"good morning Dad...
You are late by 30 mins for breakfast" said Kim with a stern face sipping her coffee 

Kim's father froze at his place where he was 
He was bewildered to see this sudden change in Kim
Unlike always when Mrs Bunyasarn and nurse had to request Kim for breakfast and on all that effort she would just take a sip of juice to nibble her medicines

Here she was sitting happily on the dinning table, had finished all her breakfast and was going through the newspaper sipping her coffee

"Mrs Bunyasarn...
Please come here soon.." shouted Kim's father

"Dad she is busy in preparing my favourite stew..
You see I need to get strong so that I quickly get strong and join the office soon"

"Don't bother her 
Lemme serve you the breakfast" said Kim and slowly leaned to the dinning table and pulled the butter jar and roasted breads towards her

"Dad you can settle down.." said Kim with a smile as she kept applying butter on the breads 

"Yeah ....
Yeah...
I should settle down" said Kim's father with a smile but yet surprised face

" Here dad..
Here's your toast and here is your coffee" said Kim as she pushed the breakfast plate towards her father and poured the coffee from jar into the coffee mug.

"Dad you carry on with your breakfast I will just go and check out some sun in our garden .." said Kim as she got up from the dinning table carefully

" Dad do you mind if I get the privilege of being the first one to read the newspaper " said Kim with squeezed nose as she grabbed the newspaper from her father's right hand while latter kept noticing her with his eyes wide opened in shock 

Kim took the paper and slowly walked towards the lawn in front of the house as she was still not strong enough to walk properly

Then only Mrs Bunyasarn came out of kitchen towards the dinning table

" Sorry Sir ...
I was busy in.." 

" Making stew for kim..." Said kim's father interrupting latter as his eyes were still stuck at his daughter who was smiling and happy unlike her past usual behaviour 

"Sir even I was surprised to see Kim this morning...
She came on her own and asked for breakfast 
Then asked me to prepare her favourite stew ...
I felt like as if I was dreaming ...
It all felt surreal..
I don't know sir what has happened overnight..
Seems like some fairy came in the night, shook her magic wand and sorted everything.." said Mrs Bunyasarn in a thrilled voice as she served the cut fruits to Kim's father

~~~~ 3 pm~~~~~~~

"Mrs Bunyasarn...
What's there for dinner tonight?" Said kim as she peeped into the chopping pad over the shoulder of Mrs Bunyasarn while standing right behind her

"Kim.....???
Tonight we have vegetables soup, turkey meatball curry with coconut broth noodles in main course
And apple pie in dessert..
But you tell me why are you so much excited about dinner today..
Before this you never took so.much interest in dinner...??" Said Mrs Bunyasarn with a smile as she kept her eyes focused on chopping the veggies 

"A..mmm...
Actually Mrs Bunyasarn 
I was thinking that..
 you work all alone in kitchen cooking for us..
You also need a helping hand ...
So let me help you..." Said Kim in a afrimation as she picked up an egg and tried cutting it with a help of a knife

" Kim.....
He he he ...
Leave it...
I respect your feelings but you are better off managing the big projects of your clients...
Kitchen is not your department.." said Mrs Bunyasarn as she tried controling her laughter 

" Why ...???
Why can't I...?" 

" Because Kim...
This is an egg...
We don't cut it...
Rather break it like this.." said Mrs Bunyasarn with a smile as she took the egg from Kim's hands and broke it with a gentle on it with the help of a knife 

"Why don't you go and get some rest
I will send some juice for you.." 

' Thats the problem Mrs Bunyasarn..
This time is passing so slow
I don't know how will I wait till the evening...
I can't concentrate on anything..
These butterflies in my stomach don't let me sit or sleep or do anything.' Kim murmured to herself as she filled a glass full of water and took a sip of it

"You said something Kim ??" 

"I..
No no Mrs Bunyasarn ..
I didn't say anything..." Said Kim coughing slowly as she got caught thinking aloud

~~~~~~~
"Mom will you pass me the mug of milk.." said pie as she slowly moved her ladle into the sauce pan stirring the flour in it

"Sure dear.." 

" Pie ..
After a long long time you have entered the kitchen and cooking something with so much of interest..
May I know what's so special today..??" Asked Pie's mom with a smile as she was happy to see her daughter happy and coming back to life

" Yeah mom it's special..
Very special..
I have got my long time lost friend back.." said pie as she gently poured the milk from the mug into the pan

" Lost friend...??" 

" Yeah mom the same friend who taught me to live when I had lost all the hopes of life
The friend who treats me like I am so special in this world 

The friend who never shows pity on me for my blindness rather treats me with respect and makes me feel confident

The friend who tells me that this world can be colorful and beautiful when I just have only darkness spread in my life

The friend who always thinks of my comfort and my happiness before hers 

The friend who smiles in my happiness and cries in my pain

The friend who will always be by my side even though the whole world is against me

The friend who would never let go off my hand how much soever worst the condition is

The friend ..."

"Pie sweety ...your pasta ...
It's dry now..." Said pie's mom interrupting pie, as she suddenly noticed the sauce in the pan was on the verge of getting burnt as latter was so engrossed in talking about her friend that she completely forgot about this world ..

" Ohhh...
Mom plz help me with some more milk.." said pie in a nervous voice as she came back to the world 

"Here dear " said pie's mom as she poured some more milk to the sauce pan

" Mom...
Actually
I need your permission for ..."

"I know I know
My dear daughter wants to take this special pasta for her special friend 

Okay..you may go..
But come back before dinner..
Okay.." said pie's mom in an affirmative tone as she took off the sauce pan from the stove..

"Yippee..
Love you mom.." said pie euphoric voice 

'pie..my life
Rather thanks to this friend of yours who once again gave my sweet daughter back to me, whom I had lost somewhere few months ago..' thought pie's mom to herself as she noticed her pie dancing with happiness like little girl

~~~~~6:30 pm~~~~

Kim was making quick rounds at the main door in anxiety and was looking stressed 

" Tiger relax...
This stress is not good for you..
Please calm down.." said Kim's father in a worried tone as he noticed Kim getting breathless and sweaty in worry and anger

" I told you dad 
I told you..
Not to let her go...
She will leave me alone again..
She won't come back..
But you didn't listen to me..
See ..
See now..
She hasn't come.." said Kim in a complaining voice as she furiously walked towards her dad

" Tiger...
Did u see the weather..
It's pouring heavily...since past 3 hrs..
How will she come..
All the roads are flooded...
Try to understand her problem too.." said Kim's father consoling her

" Yeah ..
You are right dad..
How will she come .
I
Should go to pick her up .
Let me go .." Kim quickly moved towards the drawer looking for her car keys...

"Tiger ...
Tiger..
Listen to me..
You can't go
You are still unwell..." Said Kim's father as he ran behind Kim and caught hold of her 

" Dad 
I need to see her..
I...
Please let me go..." Said Kim as she struggled to get her released from her father's grip while her body getting warm and she was sweating profusely..

"Tiger..
Tiger ..
I promise..
I will take you wherever you want 
Let the rain slow down a bit.."

" You are lying Dad .
You are lying..
The way you lied yesterday that she will come..
She won't come now 
She won't come ever...
I know she won't..." Said Kim as she broke into tears and ran on the stairs towards her room 

She slammed the door hard behind her and stood against the closed door crying hard in wrath that why did she let go off pie yesterday , she should have stopped her , she didn't even ask for her new number and new address that she could trace her back
She had lost her once again forever 
Though Kim to herself as she slipped down against the door , sat on the floor ans cried hard digging her face between her folded knees 

~~~~8:27 pm~~~~~~
"P'john...
What is happening..
We have been sitting in the car since past 1 and half hr there is no movement...
We haven't moved an inch also.." asked p
