We were talking. Going over day's happenings and suddenly he became (more) chatty. I think, I have struck the right note. I have been meaning to do so for a while ,but it never worked out. I knew, something was amiss. Whenever I tried, he glided away from me, unwilling to open up. Yeah, I must give him space, but a voice inside me kept telling, "Hey,I can help, only if you open up".
In the weekend, I noticed the obvious tension between them.(Well, I thought it was obvious, but, none took me serious although I mentioned it). Was a tad worried, but thought it is temporal.
Finally, yesterday, here he is, willing to open up. We talked and talked. Jeez, it is complex. It is about how A wants to play with B and C doesn't want to play with A and all that stuff, "pre-k drama" as my friend aptly named it. Yes, I was talking about M. But, I did learn one thing, this is a very important and close-to-heart matter for him. In his small world, this is of utmost important to him. When he told me, "He hurt my feelings by doing that." and leaned back in the chair, I knew it was genuine to the core. I told M that I absolutely understand and I really do, for I am like that too. G delved deeper into his book. (covering up his smile) . Quite a few tears have been drained in my teen years over (silly) things like this :) . However, I never knew that I had to deal with these, this early :).
Anyway, I have promised M to fix things up ... and I hope I will..
