How they met.

It was about 10 O'Clock, when they leave the hospital. He opened the car door for her, make her sit inside, interest her seat belt and begun to drive, provided all the services to someone he himself never imagined he will.

She was continuously watching outside on the streets and roads all the way. As he stopped for the traffic light, she had a sight of black pigeons across the road. She watch them carefully , remembering her mother once feeding them in her place.

Ralph noticing her staring them with a slight smile, asked," Do you wanna go out to them ?"

He remembered the doctor's words, he want her to be comfortable to the surroundings and was also seeking for the right opportunity, when he could talk to her about the treatment as he can't force her.

She doesn't spoke a word but he read her silent choice, make a turn and park the car.

They get seated on a roadside bench, near those pigeons.

She smiled seeing them bobbing and flying very close to her. "Can.. I c-can.. Can we feed them ?, she asked hesitantly.

Speaking something on her own, he half smiled. "No, its illegal here".

"Really ?" she asked puzzled.

He smiled more, seeing her interested in conversation. "Yeah ! sometimes feeding them harms them." and ask her, "You like pigeons? "

"Yes", she smiled a bit more. "Maa, Rebecca and I use to feed them, sometimes, in our field."

"I remember, your Maa loved nature."

"Can I ask you something? "

Being delighted, he stop the car to stay there, he replied in a very polite voice which absolutely wasn't suitable for his personality, "Ofcourse."

"How do you know my maa ? Can you tell me anything about her ?"

It was more then 4 year when her mother died. She had very few memories in her mind of her, whatever she remembered was very special and she always wanted to know more about her.

He looked at her and smiled, then keep on glancing those pigeons. "I was in state university, studying criminal justice. One day, me and my friend, after playing football, were on the way to parking when Charles, my friend (he explained, glancing her) , snatched my motorbike key from my hand and hurriedly ran to the parking. He was too fast, I was holding a football in my other arm, so I, with all my force ( chuckle slightly) threw that on him. At the very moment, he turned back and immediately bend down. (exhale) Unfortunately, it hit the girl coming right straight to him. She was Sarah, your Maa."

She was listening to him with all her attention, as she heard about her mother, immediately her mouth hang open in surprise and she laughed.

He was surprised as well, to look that very first beautiful smile of her. He inhale deeply in satisfaction and continued, "I hit her so hard" he take a pause. "And I felt sorry, I still feels sorry, and i want to say sorry to you too." seeing her.

She laughed more and he too laughed looking her like that. He continued "then i approached her and... as I opened my mouth to apologise, she started shouting at me. I was absolute guilty so bowed my head a bit and thought it was permissible for her to do so, I worth that instead she wasn't allowing me to say a single word. So, I waited, hoping maybe my chance will also come. BUT...when she opened her bag and pulled out a metal rod, I got scared and I was like Man! now I can't wait." They both laughed heartily.

"And I just ran so fast from there, without wasting a nano second, didn't even looked back to see whether she was coming after me or not."

"And after sometime we became friends." He added. "then I came to know, she was doing Agriculture course there and she was from Butterfield. After 2-3 days, when I found she would listen me, I requested her to throw that metal rod away from her bag, because I literally don't had any idea when she would get angry on me again."

She grinned. " Rebecca used to tell me, maa gets angry very quickly. "

"Yup. She was a short tempered girl with round big glasses, little old fashioned... or I say very unfashioned, rough hairs with a pony tail." He breathed deeply, "O Sarah! " remembering her with a slight smile, his permanently straightened lips were today curved.

She grin in surprised, "I've never saw Maa like that."

"She was changed...." He replied slowly thinking deeply. "She changed a lot, after her marriage. I never thought she could change that much. I wish I would have thought she could change",he mused.

"She was very beautiful."

"Yeah ! She was." he replied again without noticing, she was listening him. Immediately back to his sense he looked at her, clear his throat, "You must be hungry, we should leave for home."

"Ok. ". She looked Ralph face, "Thanks for telling me about her."

"Well ! You're welcome and thanks for reminding me, some of beautiful memories." He extended his hand to her.

Before holding his hand, she remembered about uncle Ralph told her, Richard wanted to know about her. She asked ,"Should , I tell anyone about myself ?"

"if you can't tell everything then you shouldn't tell anything. I suggest, if you want to hide your identity, You can. Nobody know you here."

She listen to his words with all her attention, hold his tight palm and get off the bench and they leave for home.

The real reason why he advised that idea to her, was he himself now don't wanna anyone, take her away from him.
