Rinii's pet ant bites

She didn't know when it started or how it started. She saw it first as she rolled up her ballet socks on her front left leg. She didn't feel good about it so before beginning her lessons that day Rinii gave it a scratch. It turned red and hot. She decided to forget about it.

But it wasn't easy. She was distracted all through her ballet lessons and her ballet teacher thought that pretty Rinii the deer was losing interest in ballet. She missed steps, fell in wrongly with the beats and she skipped parahs standing still trying to think how it might have started. It irked her and frustrated her when after lunch she tried to scartch it off again and found that it had grown bigger and redder and hotter. Towards evening she was exhausted in worry and wanted to find a remedy to heal it off at once.She decided to try something cool. Maybe that ointment that is supposed to soothe and heal wounds. Thats the first thing she did on reaching home. Rolled down her ballet socks, took ample amounts of that ointment and spread it on it. It was big and red and hot still but she hoped that ointment would do the soothing trick. Then she lay back on her sofa and thought back, why had her pet ant had come out on her and bitten her on her leg.

Strangely it felt exactly similar to sitting on the sofa and wondering, a few months back, after her first fight with Remo her husband. The initial cluelessness of when and how the issue began, the forceful brushing it aside as nothing and then scratching or irritating each other till the fight was stoked to really hot and big proportions and the final remedy of surprising him with iced lemon tea and wondering alond and working it out why this happened. Rinii smiled, closed her eyes and hoped her ant bite would be all cleaned up just like how their fight was after the lemon tea.
