Caring is Love

Daniel Pov

While I was thinking about what happened on the weekend, I waited to see my little goblin, but it was no show day, even this Olivia never showed up, I just wanted to check, so I went to Olivia's house, I knocked on the door, figuring what to say, Mrs Rose, but for my good deed, it was Olivia who opened the door, Olivia came out and asked, Brother Daniel what brings you to our humble home, I know she was taunting me, so I said, stop making Fun, why didn't you both come school today, Olivia giggled and said we both came to school but you didn't see us, I was like what is this girl saying before I ask, Olivia told, Brother Daniel, I am been dropped by my cousin, as per James wish, and the person you're looking for is been dropped by her Dad Mr Felix, after finishing she started to laugh again. It was so irritating, I wanted to leave, Olivia said, Daniel Bro, wait on the other side of the gate, her dad drops Megan there. I was satisfied with her confirmation.

I got dresses up and left a little early, in our house nobody cared when we left or where we are, or when we come home, till we did no trouble. So none of them asks me why I am leaving early, I reached the other side of the gate, but I was inside a chapel room, from the open door you can see the church school Gate, but the fun is no knows your there, I waited for 15 minutes, the well known red car got parked by the side of the gate.

I saw Mr Felix, opening the door for Megan, she was looking good but not that ok, Megan wanted to carry her bag, but her dad didn't allow her, he carried her bag, put his arms around her shoulder as he walked to drop her in school, they both were chatting and giggling all the way till they reach school gate, I followed the father-daughter pair, from the parallel road that was used only by the church members, When they reached school, I don't know who she was, a girl in uniform greeted Megan's Dad, and took the bag from him, walked Megan inside the school.

This continued the next day too if love was caring for each other, then I understand how pure her Dad's love for her was, or maybe her whole family.

I have never even sat with my parents, from the time I have known, we don't express our love or any kind of cheesy feeling in our family, this all was new to me.

The next day was a different story, I saw Logan dropping Megan, they were chatting for few minutes, then Logan tapped Megan's head as he left, Logan was in a hurry as he has to see his mysterious girlfriend, whom he as not even introduced to his own friends, I got to know this from his friend Eric, Yes His friend, I am trying to get along with Logan for Megan sake, I had made friends with one his friend to get his information, so I can get into his good books, I jumped out the compound wall of the chapel and came to Megan side after Logan left. Megan wanted to pick her bag but I bent down before reached the bag, I took her bag and put it on my shoulder as I walked with her, I wanted to talk to her but I didn't know why I was not able to speak, Megan also was relatively quiet all the way, my heart was doing its summersault again, as we walked side by side on the empty road, we reached the end of the road, I helped her with her bag, and gestured her to go, she said, thank you, while I asked her to take care, she reached her school gate and turned to see me, I was leaning on the tree behind me, I didn't know what was happening, but I was amazed by the way Megan was looking at me, I continued to walk her to school every day after Logan dropped her for more than two weeks, we two never spoke, just walk as partners, it was a different emotion, can't be explained but I enjoyed it. Finally, her exam days came, Logan stopped dropping her, it was only her Dad, dropped and picked her up, even I was getting busy with my exams, I needed good grades for a full scholarship, Mr Brain gave me Fifteen days paid leave to prepare for our exams. It was the last day of her exam, her dad didn't come to pick Megan after her exam, Megan walked with Olivia, I was sitting on a stone bench, she walked to me and said, All the best with your Exam Daniel, Good luck with your future, I was so surprised of her words, then she walked away.

I worked really hard for my exam, but I was sad too as I was not able to see my little goblin, Megan had a two-month annual leave this time, I heard from Olivia that she is sent to B city, to her uncle's place.
