Be my friend...

For once in her whole life, she felt relief that she had someone who cares about her without knowing her properly and makes her feel special. But still fear was alive that once he knew the truth he will also treat her like others did. That truth was like a local legend to the people of that town.

The distance between that graveyard and her house was less than 10 minutes but that 10 minutes were the longest and most enjoyable minutes of her life.

Firstly he hesitates but then he asked: "So...Who was Jenny Hiller???"

"How do you know her???"

She was shocked. She has the right to investigate that...she didn't tell him how did he even know that...

A spare of discomfort shine in Sam's leaf brown eyes but then he just smiles softly answering much confidentially "Relax!!! I have got a sharp pair of eyes as my aunt says and so I notice the name over the gravestone beside whom you were mourning.... weren't you???"

Oh no..... she hit the wrong spot at the wrong time. She not only felt embarrassed but also happy that he was just trying to comfort her. This complex reaction was awkward but also comforting.

Then she replied bending her head down "Yes, I was...She was my mother and she died in a car accident five days ago....but still, I am unable to overcome this grift...I-I am sorry.."

And a drop of sadness escapes her eyes one after another. She raises her fingers to wipe out the traces but before her fingers would have reached Sam's warm thin beautiful fingers slide over her cheek wiping the sadness replacing it with pleasure.

As he speaks with a low husky voice

"I understand...."

His incredibly smooth long finger made her lost for a second...And her cheeks glow...

"You do???"She smiled softly.

He also smiled softly replying sadly"Well yeah...My mother died six years ago due to cancer after she got separated from my father....my father refused to take my responsibility. since then my aunt, Isa has been taking care of me..."

She remembered her mother she was the only person whom she knew in this whole world.

All her happy moments with her mom were precious...She remembers when children use to bully her she used to run into the embrace of her mother. She taught her to be self-confident and happy but her death has broken her...

She replied with a sad soft smile"It feels really good to have someone taking care of you...."

with a hollow smile, he replied, "Actually it sometimes does...."

"sometimes???"

His eyes widened "...yeah because most of the times she is so overprotective...that she never let me stay where I wanted and just drag me with her without my permission"

She rolls her eyes just to shake off the awkwardness,

"Well it is the opposite in my case, now I am all alone...no one is here to drag me without my will which I miss a lot..."

He places his hand over her shoulder"I will drag you.... every day"

The lost smile return without much delay "Everyday???"

He also smiled "Of course, for such a beautiful girl....yes 'Everyday' "

She turns to face Sam who was walking just a few steps behind her

"Are you messing with me???"

He shook his head smiling,

"Not really...it's just I never had a friend but now I think I have one who understands me. Will you be my friend, Emma???"

She jerks back to follow his steps,

"In that case, I am your friend not only your friend but also your best friend..."

He was beaming smiling

"Now it's your turn to open your heart...what's your story???"

She moves her eyes to the floor like hesitating

"Ahem...It is complicated"

He brought his index finger to his chin thoughtfully

"Is it really that 'complicated'???let's see"

She asks eying him

"Are you sure that you want to listen to that???"

He insisted

"Yes...I am sure about that goes on..."

She halts her steps looking up at the sky and took a deep breath

"Okay then...Before I was born my father died in a car accident and now my mother also died leaving me alone...sorry for that..."

A tear of sadness escape from her eyes which she quickly removed...

He bends his head in guilt "I am sorry about that..."

She again smiled softly lifting the grift in the environment

"No, you don't need to be sorry...Now you are my friend you deserve truth...I want you to know the real truth..."

His eyes are wider in surprise...

"What truth???"

(Will she be able to open her heart to a newly found friend or she will limit her grift to her???..
