When I woke up mom was busy in kitchen, making something.

"Mummy? What are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm making lunch for Armaan. Sweety, will you go and give it to him. I've some work too"

"I'll have to get ready. I still want to sleep. Why don't you go?"

"I'm not done with lunch yet and later I've some work. It'll be ready while you get ready. So you have to go," Mom replied.

"OK," I replied drly.

I was angry to see my mummy working for him, but I was excited to see him again.

I had a quick bath. When I entered the kitchen lunch was packed and mom was getting ready.

"Where are you going?" I asked my mom.

"I'm going to temple," She replied.

"Come back soon, I'm hungry."

"Yes. Now go he might be waiting."

I was about to leave when she called me, "Ridhimaa, I forgot to tell you, he no more stays at his old house, he have changed his residence temporary."

"Where does he live now?"

"You won't be able to find it. You come with me I'll show you the way," Mom replied.

"Ok."

After four minutes, I was standing in front of a shop. It's shutter was destroyed. It's situated in the market. Same market in which we met that day.

"Where is his house?" I asked mom.

"Behind the shutter."

"What? How do I get in? The shutter is destroyed," I asked angrily.

Mom walked ahead and picked up the shutter.

"Get in," I did as I was asked to.

After stepping inside, I saw a big clearing (ground). It the edge of the mountain, there were many grasses and trees were spread around. When I looked to my right there was a house.

When I walked towards the house, Armaan was sitting in his living room, busy on his laptop.He looked up, when I cleared my throat.

"How did you reach here?" He asked.

"Mom dropped me."

He just nodded in reply.

After shutting his laptop he said, "Sit."

He nodded towards a couch besides him.

His house has light blue coloured walls. It's a double room with a bathroom attached. There's a small kitchen.

"Would like to have something, Tea or coffee," He asked.

" No, Thanks."

"How are you?" He asked.

"Fine. You?"

"Good."

"Why do you live here now? What happened to your house?"

He looked sad, but immediately it changed, to void of emotions.

"I was alone in that big house, so I moved here and it's easier for me to go to work from here," He replied in a cold tone.

"Oh!"

"How you doing? What are your future plans?"

"I was thinking to work here for a year, then go back and settle there," I replied.

"Nice," He replied.

"If you don't mind, I have to be somewhere," He said after few seconds of silence.

"Yeah, sure!"

I stood up and walked out after him.
