MIKAYLA. . ."Soniye, you're so talented," I hear the soft voice of my nephew say as he sits beside me and watches me sketching a face.I hum, my squinted eyes focused on the canvas. The face of a man is what I am sketching, not wishing to put on many shades. It is actually my nephew's homework and I am doing it."How do you do that?" He asks after a pause. I hear the sound of a wrapper being torn.The silence in my room is too much. So much so that the sound of graphite rubbing against the rough sheet can be heard easily. I like it."I dunno," the words come out under my breath, barely audible.He giggles and swiftly brings the piece of chocolate to my mouth. I don't deny having it silently. The solid bar melts on my tongue, taste fusing into my calm senses and it crawls down my throat."I want to sketch like you. Can I do it?""Why do you ask me? Ask your Uncle.

Love Me, Mikayla /Wellmindelysian

MIKAYLA. . ."I hope you got it, Miss," a smile is on my way as an assurance to my heart that my boss gives me."Of course," Mr Hitler, I grit my teeth and stretch my lips in a perfect pretty smile for a response.He buys it, nodding his head.

I tried a lot to convince him but he is adamant about it.He has reasoned with me enough times that he doesn't want to lose an employee like me and I wish to get out of here as soon as possible.I remember my childhood when it was easier and smoother for me. Being a daughter of two beautiful people has its perks. Anything I wanted, I would just smile or bat my eyelashes to lure them into a plain web and they would do anything I would ask them to. However, things hav

MIKAYLA. . ."How was the journey? You didn't face any problems on the way, right?" Mama asks my friend, Julia, who is sitting across the table.There is a cup of tea in her hand, dainty fingers wrapped around. She loves it. Chay ki deewani hai. Her coffee-brown eyes are set on my Mama who is smiling at her.My Mama loves Julia. She is my childhood friend. My mother has known her since she used to come to my house to do projects and homework."It was all right. I slept the entire flight." She chuckles in the end, her shoulders jerking.All eyes are on me now, expecting an explanation. "She's saying that the flight was good. She slept the entire flight," I say as my eyes particularly linger over my sister-in-law, Tabitha. She seemed confused until now.My Mama nods her head. "Eliab got there just in time, right? He didn't make you wait, I hope.""Of course, he was waiting for me there. Although, I thought Mikayla would come to pick me up." She steals a glance at me, taking a sip of he
