Jaya

The boy frowned.

"H-Hey it's starting to hurt, can you let go-"

But Jaya pulled him even further out for a big hug. She was squealing from joy.

"I KNEW IT! Mama was right! If I prayed and prayed they would listen!"

The boy finally managed to push her away and free his head. He took a deep breath before hesitantly asking, "What are you even...t-talking about?"

Jaya was so happy that she couldn't stop herself from jumping around the bed like a rabbit.

"It.really.came.true!" she spoke one word after every jump, "I.can't.believe.it!"

Annoyed, the boy tripped her just as she was about to embark on another round, making her fall face-first on the bed. It was so loud that it made him worried for a second.

"Are you okay?"

When he turned her over she was crying. His eyes widened, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to- you can push me too if you want! Here," he used her limp hand to push himself over which made her giggle.

"Hehe, no silly, I wasn't crying because of that."
