[ Ruiken's POV]
as Zahria rides the bike with me , the night grows dark and cold . finally i stop the bike in front of an old cottage . it is my secret spot . well like other children since childhood i have a secret spot but i was unable to ever abandon this place because it holds so many pieces of life . Guess who is the one knows about this place? Zahria . we entered the cottage. the smell of wood is refreshing as always . i throw myself on the sofa . She calmly sits beside me . I lean on her. then she speaks with a calm but soothing tone ,"what happened ?your face expression doesn't look good." it was a simple question but at that moment it felt like the best words i could hear. i stayed silent for sometime . the i said in a low voice ,"Father wants me to inherit his position ." she bluntly said ,'' is that so?" . i spoke again , "yes . but believe me it's not that i am incapable . i...i.. am just not able to cope with his sudden decision . i shouted at him with out realizing . believe me i didn't meant to ....." she said silent. the silence felt like eternity . then i broke the silence ,"why don't you say anything?" she replied ," what can i say ?" i got impulse and started shouting ,"why?! don't you say that i am wrong? why?!"
after prolonged silence she spoke,"i am sorry for not studying law. " i asked with confusion ,"what does have to do with us ? " she said ,"i am not a Judge so i can't decide whether you are wrong or wright ." such plain words yet i felt like crying . she patted me .
after that i woke up in the morning . she wasn't there . maybe she left after i fell asleep . i looked at the ceiling . a place about no one knows except us . this is a place have a countless memories with her. whether painful or happy . at that time a fact crossed my mind . 'she has seen me crying but does she never cry in front of me?'
