Daniel's POV:

"Hello! Mom. What is it?"

I picked up the call. It was my mom.

"Hello! Nothing. Just some stuffs. You tell me. Why didn't you pick my call earlier?"

"Uuh... You called?"

I quickly checked my cell phone. I didn't get time to check it as i was in class but as soon as i came out, it vibrated.

"Oh! I'm sorry, mom. Actually i was in class earlier. Moreover, phone was on vibration mode. It was in my bag. I didn't realize. Leave it. Tell me if there is something you want to talk about?"

I explained briefly and then came to the real point, looking at my image in the back mirror of my car. Black shirt, it was my favorite. Mom gifted it to me. Yesterday, i couldn't take any class because of that crazy girl, Eva. So, today i was a bit busy.

" I'm coming tomorrow."

"What! Really. You are coming?"

I inquired again. I was happy to hear it. It's been one year. I couldn't see her. She was always busy with her shop. My mom holds the most famous boutique in the whole USA.

"Are you happy now?"

"Of course, i am."

I wanted to share my feelings with someone desperately.

"Hm. But there is actually something i wanted to discuss with you."

"Yes, go ahead."

I politely replied.

"You remember i told you about a girl at the start of your semester?"

"Ahm, oh yes. I remember. What about that?"

I, suddenly, became curious.

"It's like i want you to take care of her as she is going to live at your house."

"Wait, what? Mom! Are you kidding?"

My hand stopped as i was going to open my car's door. I couldn't believe what mom said. How is this possible?

"No, I'm not. I told her father that we are going to keep her with us."

"Mom! You should have discussed it with me before talking to her father."

I argued.

"Okay sorry. I didn't. That's my fault. But I've already made a promise. And you have to help me keep it."

Sara's POV:

"Why do you have to tell everything to my dad? See what happened. Now he is going to take me tomorrow."

Carrie was standing in front of me, putting an innocent face.

"I really didn't know that you-. Can you please forgive me?"

She came near me, sitting on the ground on her knees as i was resting on the bed and grabbed my hands.

"Look what you've done. Now i have to depend on someone else."

"Well! I know you don't want that but technically i think that's good. Didn't i also tell you to move somewhere else?"

I looked into her eyes as her's were on my hand. I think she is right. How I'm i suppose to live in this room, a senior's room. She didn't argue with me but i do think i should leave here. But i can shift to another building. Why make it in someone else house? Why depend on others?

"Sara! What do you think you should do now?"

I was at war with my thoughts but Carrie interrupted that.

"(Sighs) What can i do? Let the God decide it for me."

"So, you are not angry with me anymore, right?

Carrie stood up as she wanted my answer.

"Just on one condition. Help me pack everything."

"Of course. You don't have to get up. I'll pack it for you."

She became happy as i forgave her. Meanwhile, i got a text.

"Who is it?"

Carrie asked me as i opened the inbox.

"It's dad. He said he will pick me up at 1pm. Means i have to skip two lectures."

I narrated the message as she wanted me to. I was more concerned about the lectures i was going to miss but Carrie was thinking of something else.

"Okay, that's good abd don't worry about the lectures. I'll ask someone to get me notes. Hold on. I am thinking of an idea."

"Hey! Please don't think of anything terrible."

I was concerned about what was going on in her brain this time. Where she was going to make an announcement this time?

"Stop it! Don't make that face as if i messed everything up. I was just thinking of giving you touch up for tomorrow."

She read my face. Why is she so fast sometimes? Wait, what? Touch up?

" No way, I'm not going in a party. Save it for yourself. I'll pass."

Someone's POV:

"Hello Amanda! Where is Sara?"

I called my sister to ask about Sara.

"You are talking to me after a long time, about two months and in your first question you are asking about that bit*h? You don't even care about me."

I was concerned about Sara after hearing Eva talking about a girl with the same name. But as I expected from sister, she started listing her complains in a loud noise as if she was arguing.

"Oh! I'm sorry, Amanda. You know how busy i am, right? Don't worry. I'll make it up to you. I'll send some money this weekend. You can go for shopping, okay? Now tell me about Sara. Where is she?"

I knew my sister very well. Her likings and everything and also how to calm her down.

"Really, Richard? Wow, that's good. Well! About Sara, she is not here."

Sister, as expected, calm down and spoke in a sweet voice. But as soon as she told me Sara is not there, i lost my temper.

"What do you mean? Where is she?"

"It was when last time you visited here. As you left, your brother begged me for letting her daughter study further. I wanted to discuss with you but you didn't pick up my call. So, i agreed."

Sister narrated the whole story. It was unexpected for me. She let her study further? Without asking me? No way? Wait, was she the same girl Eva mentioned?

"Okay tell me which city she is in? As also about her school name?"

"I think it's the same city as yours. But as for school name? I don't know."

I hung up the phone. Now, i think i know what i have to do.

*****************************

So, how was it? Dan is going to do something she is unwilling to do. But what will his reaction when he'll meet the girl?

Sara is so confused. She doesn't want to depend on someone else. Such a good girl...

What about the other character, Richard? Is he someone close to Sara? Who is he?
