A promise: That changed my life

Siya

"You idiot!" I scolded Vishal, who laughed his ass off at me. "You told me you saw a fish in the lake but instead you pushed me from behind!" I coughed, omitting water out from my nose and mouth.

"You should have seen your face in the mirror when I pushed you into the lake, It was very funny to watch you screaming." He says, laughing.

"You stupid ass! What if I have died?!"

He looks at me with a smile, "I will never let anything happen to you."

"I don't trust you!"

"I swear of my mom, ok?" He never takes a fake swear of his mom, so I don't think he is lying.

"Okay, but now I am freezing because of the cold water, thanks to you."

He looks apologetic yet guilty, "I am sorry, here take this." He removes his shawl from the shoulder and wraps it around me.

"Thanks for this, I am feeling warmer now."

"Don't mention, it was my fault, right?"

"No doubt."

I woke up in bed for the first time with the blanket on my body. Usually, I know I discard it in my slumber because whenever I wake up I never see it on me anyway. That dream reminded me of Vishal again, that moment we spent together was sweet yet I still used to scold him for pushing me, though, I was only 12 and he was 16 at that time so I can't blame him, we were just kids.
