: ''Mom, where are you? Come soon''

: ''Aai we'll be there soon''

CRASH

: MOM...DAAAAD...

: ''Huff...when...did I get here?''

(walking out of room)

: ''Oh, you're awake?...

: ''Brother...what are you doing here?''

: ''I'd a call from your work place saying you were not well. When we were home, you were already sleeping...

He walks near her and checks her temperature.

: ''Good it went down. You must be hungry, I've cooked some dish, have a seat''

As he was serving, she sat to eat. Then the two began eating.

While eating...

: ''Aai, why don't you...just quit doing part times.''

: ''...''

: ''Look I'm earning enough for both and even dad had saved some for your future. You'll be going to school after two days. Doing this job till late, you're studies, you'll be tired.

Aai: ''Brother,... today or tomorrow I'll have to work. Later...you'll get married, will have you're own family, you will be occupied.

: ''Aai, I'm never going to leave you. I've promised dad and mom that I'll always be with you''

Aai: ''Promises...break, brother''

: ''...''

Aai: ''Everyone will...leave someday. And I don't want to take away anymore from you. I'm sorry...I'm just trying to be independent.

: ''Aai...''

At school.

In class, Aai always chose the last window seat. She doesn't had any friends and would either read a book or put her head down. Even if anyone talks to her...

A girl: ''Hey, your keychain looks cute''.

Aai: ''...''

another girl come near and pulls her friend saying

: ''Oii! What are you doing?''

: ''I was just talking, what's wrong?''

: ''You better stay away from her. You don't know, last year some girls were saying that she is involved with some delinquents and that she even got into a fight. Just next day she even wore some bandages''.

: ''Really?''
