13 CANVAS OF LOVE!

"Remove that turtleneck right now. You are sweating like anything and telling me that you are feeling cold??"

"But mama I am really fine. Believe me! Can I finish my lunch now? I am really hungry, mama!"

"Oh! Xian Xian, you are hungry please have something first. Then we will speak. I will get water for you first."

Earth took the sign of relief but still felt a pain in the head.

"How to avoid mama.? She is going to make me remove this shirt after lunch?? Oh god, why am I sweating so much?? Oh god, I can't show her all the hickey marks Judi made last night on my neck!

Judi, you are such a monster. Firstly you made all those marks on me and then you slept like a baby in my arms for the whole night without doing anything. How much torture do you want me to go through?

Yan Yan! yes I need to call her right away...Only she can be of a little bit of help in avoiding mama. Yaa, I will need to face her afterwards but it is better to face her antics than mama's!"

"Good afternoon aye. You are eating without me???"

A broad smile scattered all over his face when he heard the beautiful voice of his best friend.

"Yan Yan, I was about to call you now. How come you are here?"

"What Xian Xian, how can you ask me this stupid question?? I came here to see your Sleeping beauty! Is he awake or still waiting for the morning kiss from her prince to come back from a long sleep?"

"MORNING KISS FROM PRINCE?"

A shrill voice ran through both Xian's and Lu Yanli's ears after the sentence left from the mouth of the intruder between their friends' talk!

An abrupt cough was the answer to her questions and why not she was supposed to help, not the other way round. All the water which was about to go inside his food pipe to his digestive system was now sleeping peacefully on the dining table!

"What timing, Yan Yan. Hats off to you! Do I need enemies for my troubled life? I should write a book on you and name it, 100 ways to kill your best friend by embarrassment every day."

The thought came to his mind after the big shock he got from his best friend. His best friend immediately started to rub his back with her right hand because of the cough he got but that felt like rubbing a grain of salt on his newly made wounds because of her. Soon Lu Yanli saw the glare of her best friend which was directed towards her. By which she felt nervous but only for fractions of seconds.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Xian Xian?? Why don't you just go and kiss him good afternoon...He will come out of his sleep like snow white. Aye, don't you think I am speaking the truth?"

Lu Yanli looked at her aye for the support in her antics, but again the glare turned violent. If it was possible to kill someone with glare, Lu Yanli would have died sixty times in that minute. Then she heard the whisper of her best friend who gave birth only for her ears.

"I wanted to call you to save me from my mother because I didn't want to get embarrassed every day but you are making fun of me in front of her?? Now I am not going to feel awkward every day but every hour. Thank you so much for it, Yan Yan! Why are you not helping me to come out of this situation?"

"So what do you think I am doing right now? Am I not helping you to tell your parents about your life partner? Isn't it helpful?"

"Lu Yanli this does not help, we called this pushing someone to the dead-end! Do you want to die today by your best friend's hand?"

"What do you want, Xian Xian? She is trying to help you! You are not appreciating her but you are scolding her. Why are you shouting at her?"

Tang Xian came to the verge of losing his patience when he heard his mother helping his friend in her antics but treating him like a real outsider.

"Mama, are you my mother? you are scolding me because of her and the most important thing, this is not called help mama, this is leg-pulling! Mama can't you see, she is making fun of your son? She is bullying me!"

Tang Xian was losing his endurance because of embarrassment but it wasn't the end of his affliction from it.

"I know everything that happened in the hospital, Xian Xian. Yan Yan is just helping you, to meet your partner nothing else and I think she is right and one more thing I know your love life is going to be damn ****. I think it is a good start!"

"Oh! What did she just say?"

Tang Xian felt like the world around him was spinning ahead of his eyes. He wasn't able to believe that, Lu Yanli already narrated the story about his turpitude to his mother and the worst part was his mother was giving him two thumbs up for it.

How he was supposed to digest that this part of his life was extremely best for his future relationship and at the same time worse for his dignity.

"Mama...mama...stop stop stop....Okay! This Yan Yan is a real bad influence on you. I am taking her away from you and forgetting what you heard about yesterday night. It is bad, okay? Bad"

"Bad influence? Then what do you think about how you came into our life Xian Xian...??"

Tang Jianmin said while coming into the picture.

"Baba! When did you come back? and you are also supporting them? How can you do this with your only son?"

"What erzi? How can you say that I am supporting them?"

Tang Jianmin said while hugging his only son who was the most precious person in the world or if correctly said his son was his precious world. For whose happiness, he not only accepted the fact of his son's preference in the matter of love and relationship but wholeheartedly felt the submission in that decision just like his wife did.

"Baba, you too started? How can you say something like this in front of all of us? at least spare me! How could I say something on this topic?"

"How can I say? Because you are the result of our love erzi! All this happens between every couple. You are not different from us. Angel didn't put you in your mother's womb secretly..."

Xian's whole face burnt up in shyness. No matter how hard he tried to hide it, his pink ears and crimson face were making it difficult to hide his emotions in front of everyone.

"Look at your face, Xian Xian...It is looking like someone coloured it claret! Oh my god! You are like this just by talking? What will happen when you kiss your partner next time?"

And the world around him started to heat up like hot lava, making him feel hot, embarrassed, shy, vulnerable and much more. Numerous emotions which were unrelated also started to surface in his mind even without his knowledge to make him feel worse than ever!

He turned around to leave people when he heard them laughing at him. He closed the door behind his back as he entered the canteen's restroom!

Some pink and some blue!

The marks of love from his Moon looked very beautiful in the glittering sunshine, which was coming from the window. The masterpiece made by his beloved by making him his canvas of love last night was shining in the glimmering light of warmth in his heart!

He looked at the masterpiece made by his beloved.

"I never looked so beautiful, Thank you for making me so gorgeous!

Thank you for showering the love and the hate you perceived in the last ten years!

Thank you for giving me the pleasure and the agony which you perceived because of me!

Thank you for keeping me in your mind as a souvenir or a person!

Thank you for treasuring our love, friendship and every relationship we shared!"

Yesterday night's memories were still fresh in his head picking out in his mind like a cute mischievous kid just like her Moon.

{ Flashback of the remaining night ️️}

The Earth slipped inside the Moon's comforter! The Moon who was still in the distant land of dreams, his Earth made an appearance!

Moon heard the thumping heartbeats of his Earth and moved his face to take his favourite scent into his lungs!

Slowly moved his head closer to the Earth's neck. Feeling the warm flesh against his nostrils. The unclad skin's aroma when filled his lungs the air of desire to devour that body ran through his veins like blood and moved him to the core.

As soon as the idleness of Earth's body hits the desired heart, they make a collision into the mind and all the barriers break apart just like before. His luscious plum lips touched the milk-white skin to colour it crimson.

Moving slowly even tongue could not live behind and soon touched the surface of sinful beauty sending so many current surges inside Earth's body! Earth shook like a tree in the avid depth of love and soon found the plump strawberry-like lips of a defaulter!

Their lips touched each other with the heat so intense that it sparked the fire in hearts which were filled with love.

"JUDI GEGE AI NI...GEGE AI NI..."

The words never left her heart, reached to lips and slipped out of them with the company of the salty water and when they reached the soul of another person shiver was unavoidable. Moon shivered under the body of his Earth and took her in his tight embrace. Not leaving it for good or for worse!

The uneven breathing of the Moon soon turned into a steady one and why not, after a long time which felt like an eternity to both of them, he was back in his Earth's embrace and his Earth just admitted that truth which he was waiting to hear since forever!

"Judi, how can you just sleep like that? Now that I want to give my everything to you, you choose to sleep. You always like to trouble me...right?? I know you are tired and you need rest. Sleep peacefully tonight because tomorrow I am going to make your nights sleepless!"

{End of flashback}

A knock on the door got him back from his memory lane and he asked in his beautiful honeyed voice

"Yes, Yan Yan..."

"Xian Xian, come out fast! Please, Open the damn door right now! Don't be so insensitive! Please, open the door!"
