"Is it ready, Z?" asked Melissa. She combed her hair with her fingers to make her look presentable.
"Why do you want to make a video?" asked Zee. While fixing the camera in front of him.
Melissa shrugged, "I don't know, I don't think I can face them when the time comes," said Melissa after thinking for a while. Her eyes carried undisguised sadness and guilt.
"It's ready," said Zee after he had set a perfect frame on the video camera.
Melissa looked at the lens like she was looking into their eyes.
"Hi," she started, while waving her hand.
