I Found In Her

A gentle breeze went by,

It flew her curly black hair,

The smell of yellow Marigolds,

Touched her nose gently.

A flock of crows, fighting for food,

She got alarmed by that sight.

 A yellow cup, which looked very hot,

She sniffed it and looked at the beautiful sky.

A guy jogging out waved her a hand,

In return, he got a smile and a thumb up,

Who was he? I haven’t seen him,

Is he her friend? It went around my head.

When I waved her a hand that day,

I only got a dirty, rusty smile,

Do I look so bad? Do I?

I stood there, staring at her for a while.

Just then, a voice came in, “Hey, how are you?”

Brown eyes, curly black hair he had,

I asked, "Hey! What is your name?”

He smiled, “Coming for jogging?”

After thinking for a while,

We went out jogging up and down.

This time he ignored her,

Instead, stared at me.

Still, Why did he wave at her?

How did he know her before I do?

Does she like him? Would they be school mates?

Or what? I went confused.

“She is having surgery today.

Um… her leg. She is Home-schooled,

Since childhood, she doesn’t have any friend,

Always confided with us." He said, still smiling.

“Umm… aren’t you, her friend?

What’s your name?” I asked doubtfully,

"Hah! I am not her friend,

But since childhood, I know her," was the reply.

I stared at him. Sun came up, brightened all around,

He said “AHH! I am tired,

I will come the next day."

He went towards the house that girl sat.

I stood confused,

Then he turned back,

"My brother! Call me Sam.

I am her brother,” Saying he went in.

Sun's rays touched my head,

All birds had left,

I stood looking down,

Everything around turned silent.

Then, the newspaper boy came.
