love and care

"Then we both will go to university together, Alex" her reply made the man stunned at his place, it took him long to make a response again

There was no doubt that Alex wanted to go to university at a point of time, he had hopes for a bright future, but all his dreams were shattered once he started working, and now there was no affinity to the word university was left in his mind. 

He blinked his eyes as he realised that all this while she was talking about both of them. A goofy smile crept on his lips as this was the first time after his mother's death that someone thought about him too. Though Anna did care about him, she knew that it was not practical for both of them to study, and if she would even leave the school she would not be able to find a job that would be enough for him to study and to run the house.
