JACKSON'S POV
         
                      I clicked on the new mail. Billa mailed me her basic details and also her phone number.
      Her name is Lovey. She is twenty-three years old. She lives with her mother and brother. Her father has been expired in a car accident. It has been eight months. She is a tutor. Her mother and brother depend on her. Her brother is ten years old and his school details. 
      I saved her number in my contact list. I asked to dig her whole detail, her dislike and likes. Did her Father leave anything for his family?
      The door of my room opened with a bang, " Hey, brother. Where's she? " Harry said in a groggy tone. 
      " You drank? " I scowled, staring at him. He began his habit when he saw his first girlfriend making out with someone. He beat the hell out of her new boyfriend and never saw her face ever again. It was the side effect of his firs

LOVEY'S POV
    I bid my bye to Romit. It was his school, so our plans were fixed for the evening. I got the holidays after a long period of six months. I was still laying in my bed. 
      After receiving a call from Mrs Seth. I had switched off my phone, which was still the same. I had booked three tickets for Frozen2 in the mall online. Romit insisted on taking mommy with us. So I booked three. 
       'My brother and we both are excited about it as the first movie is still our favourite. '
       " Are you going to help me clean the house or not? " Momma shouted from downstairs. 
      I opened my one eye and peeped on the tiny square clock on the side table. It was fourteen minutes past ten. Undesirable, I stepped down from my bed. The cold floor greeted me ' good morning '. 
      I smiled as it felt good against my skin. I stood in front of the mirror and saw my reflection in the 

LOVEY'S POV
   
I heaved a deep sigh while I closed my book. After finishing some pages, I put it back on the small table. I lit my phone and it was dinner time. I was ravenous. I put on my slippers and walked downstairs toward the hall. I couldn't forget him for a second but I was trying my best not to recall anything. 
      My house wasn't luxurious like Seth's house. But it was perfect. 
       ' There are two square-shaped rooms at the backside, one of my parents and the second room belongs to Romit. The guests are mostly welcomed in the living room.'
      I walked toward the kitchen. Romit and mommy were already eating their food. It wasn't new after my father's death. I miss him. I joined them. 
      " What's for dinner, mommy? " I asked with a smile. 
     " Boiled mashed potatoes and chapati. " She replied. 
      My smile disappeared. She cooked this daily. I had fed up with this boring routine. Whenever I asked her to cook something else. She got annoyed and had started smashing utensils in the kitchen in exasperation. She said, " everything is getting costly. I had to return the debt which your dad took from people. This house is also under the loan. " She never forgot to fix me with her glare. 
            'It's not my fault. Is it? I badly miss my dad. Life was easy and happy when he was part of our life. These days I wake up with a burden to think about how I would manage the expenditures of the house.'
       " I don't have an appetite. " I said and went back to my room sadly. I was already dealing with a lot of problems. Whatever happened today was too much. My heart started to thrum again. I was trying to forget it but it wasn't that easy. 
      I heard footsteps behind me. I spun near the door of my room, " Dee," Romit looked at me with a full grin over his face, "It's tasty. You'll eat my hand with it. " Romit said, advancing his hand, gripping a piece of chapati stuffed mashed potato in it and holding it in his tiny hand. 
      My throat tightened. Tears hovered in my eyes. 
      I bent down and opened my mouth. He made me eat it, " Wow!  It's really delicious. " I said, chewing on it and tears started to flow down my cheeks. I swallowed the bite hard. 
      " Is it spicy? I'll bring water for you. " He ran out of my room. 
      I managed a smile on my lips and nodded my head, " I'll be back with water. " He shouted while running out of my room. 
      I covered my mouth and sobbed hard. I couldn't shatter his tiny happy world. So I swiped away my tears and plastered a small smile on my face. 
      " Water, sorry your tongue burns. " He said, hanging his head. 
      I took it from his hand and gulped it, " You brought water for me. There's nothing to be sad about. See my tongue is not burning now. " I showed him my tongue. 
      " Idea!  " He exclaimed and scooted out of the room again. 
       I glanced at his back with confusion. He quickly came back, hiding something at his back, " Close your eyes. " I tried to look but he took his tiny feet back. He was hiding something behind his hands. 
       " What are you hiding? " I pressed my lips together. 
      "Close naa... " He insisted, making a funny face. 
      " Ok fine. " I said, closing my eyes. 
      " Open your mouth. " He asked. 
      My eyebrows crushed together, " What are you planning, Ru? " I furrowed. 
      " Please, Dee. " He made his puppy face and blink. 
      I couldn't deny this face. I was smiling and I shut my eyes and opened my mouth. I felt something brushing on my tongue. I tasted something sweet on my tongue. I flicked open my eyes, " Chocolate! " I exclaimed, with a smile. 
       He hugged me and kissed me on my cheek. I hugged him back and he pulled back.
       'I love him so much. I can't imagine this hard time passing smoothly without him. '
       " You have school in the morning. Go to your bed now. " I smiled at him. 
       " Good night, Dee. " He said and took his steps out of my room. I stared at him until he was downstairs. 
        I spun and closed the door of my room. I plopped on my bed. I switched off my light. M
The moonlight was coming from the window. I wanted to erase this day from my life. I didn't wanna see horrible grey eyes in my life again. Would that! I could skip my job.
      ' It is the only job I have. I earn 10,000/- per month from this job. Mrs Seth is a kind-hearted lady. I spend this pelf on groceries, bills and the school fee of Romit. It's really bothering me, I couldn't save any penny for Romit's future.'
      Tears slipped from my eyes again. Mostly I slept crying at night after my father's death. We lost him in a car accident. That was the black day of my life. I shut my eyes. Sleep didn't show itself easily to me after my dad's......
