The Date.

(on his way back to the apartment)

Phone rings.

Did he call you again bruvver?

Don't worry Moll , nothing much.

Did he threaten you again?

You know , no one can ever do that . just relax. And don't visit me there, he could've done anything to you!

I didn't wanted to . Mantasha dragged me there.

Whatever . just be careful from next time.

What about the contract?

That creep won't sign . he still doubts the credibility of the contractor.

Didn't uncle Larry convince him?

He did Mollie , but he said he needs time to think.

But what if he didn't sign , we would be killed by him bruvver!

I won't let that happen Moll , I told you to calm down . please.

Okay. Do you remember the date tomorrow?

How can I forget that merciless day .

(Back in time , 11th feb. 2013)

wake up dad ! (cried Mollie)

grey look! Dad's not responding!

We got to rush to the hospital , get aside Moll , call an ambulance , Larry call an ambulance! Larry why don't you!! How can you stand just like that !!

Grey , he's left us already. It's of no use now my child .

(Mollie , sobbing) how can he leave us like that uncle! He can never leave me alone . Grey , please wake him up !

How can I just forget that black day, Moll!

How can I just!

(Grey draws out a peice of paper from the drawer)

Dear Grey ,

From now on you'll have to take care of your little sister.

Don't fight with her . uncle Larry will always be by your side , just obey what he says.

Please forgive me for what I am going to do . you are my good boy . daddy loves you both.

Take care.

If you loved us both , you probably would've never left us alone Dad! (sobbing)

(At Mantasha's home)

You seem pretty happy today sweetie!

Yeah Dad! I am going out on a date tomorrow, with my crush!

Who's the lucky one?

He's a classmate Dad.

So you found your prom partner!

Yeah daddy!

Happy for you, sweetie. I've seen this smile back on your face after so long!

But Dad you look tensed, is everything alright?

It's about the construction sweetie.

About the new building?

Yeah .

But what's wrong , is there something wrong with the architectural firm?

No sweetie. It's something else . leave it . it's late , go to bed now! Goodnight.

Goodnight Dad ! whatever it is ,don't stress out so much! . stressing makes you age faster.

Okay Madame!(chuckling)

Hmm. So let's text mafia .

Hey Mafia , at the coffee shop , near the bus stop. At 4!

I don't wake up so early ! (replied Grey)

Stupid! Obviously in the evening!

Okay , then . see you there stalker ;).

(At the cemetery , next morning)

Dad , we promise you. We'll fight for you . we'll take it out on him. Said Mollie.

(they placed the flowers on the coffin.)

Dad , I miss you . (said Mollie , weeping)

Grey hugged her.

Don't cry Moll , you know Dad won't be happy looking at you crying.

(Later at the coffee shop)

You're late stalker .

Oh c'mon Mafia! It's just 4:07!

Do I really look like one?

Well , you sound like one , for sure.

By the way , who was that man , that day at your apartment?

He was my uncle.

Is he a Mafia too?

No , he is director of an architectural firm.

I suppose I have seen him before!

You must have , he is your Dad's close friend.

My instincts were right then!

Are you the only child , as well?

Yes.

Hey stalker , shall we go elsewhere?

Like?

Just follow me.

Okay!

Hey Mafia , we've been walking for soo long , how far now?

Come on! You can follow me , you ran past me all that way , this is just nothing!

Haha. It's not a joke I am really tired.

Here we are!

Woah! This is beautiful! I've never been here . the sunset among the hills ! perfect!

You know stalker , whenever I feel sad , I come here.

What brings you here today , then?

Just something.

It's okay if you don't want to share.

(holds his hands , looks in his eyes and smiles)

You know stalker , your smile is analgesic.

I'll more often , then!

You know Mafia , I hate sunsets . but today I don't know why it seems so beautiful!

Why do you hate sunsets?

My mom used to say that sunsets are beautiful , they make you realize the importance of sunrise by exposing you to the darkness. But she set down like the sun exposing me to darkness. Ironically . And I couldn't find any meaning in the sunrises without her.

This made me hate the sunsets , all the more.

(she kept her head on his shoulders , tears went rolling down her cheeks).

I am sorry , stalker. said Grey , wiping off her tears. You know, crying relieves all the pain . all those tears carry all the burden out of the mind.

You feel better?

Yes , I do.

I think we should leave now . its getting dark. (Said Grey)

How will you go Mafia?

By foot.

I'll accompany you then!

If you do that , you won't be able to walk for two days straight , I feel. (Said Grey with a grin.!)

Then , I shall drop you.

No it's fine , stalker.

Okay then , bye Mafia.

Goodbye.

(Mantasha ran all the way towards him , hugged him from the back)

I don't know what is it that makes you sad , But take care.

(smiling) I will.

Goodbye Grey.

I am sorry for what I am going to do . I am really sorry. Grey said to himself.
