What excuses

"I will go and call Alex, Mike, he will be here soon." she said but Mike shook his head.

"Nah, let him be. You are here so it is one and the same thing. By the way have you told that old lady about my condition?"

"By the way have you told that old lady about my condition?" asked Mike as he smiled and Bella did not know how to answer that.

Though Mike always fights with his mother and calls hew with silly names. They bantered all day but Bela knew and so did everyone that he cared a lot about the lady.

He was so particular about her treatment, medicine and other things that he did everything personally. And now telling him that the mother he was treating so preciously was gone when he was not here was something she could not do now.

If it would have been her from the past, she would not have felt anything at all. But now that she had learnt human emotions it was rather difficult for her. So she decided to wait for Alex and let him decide what to do.
