Ball day.

"Dad, are you good? Why haven't you slept yet? Is everything fine mom?" Felsen talked when saw his dad perching on the divan, in the foyer.

"Ahh! Felsen," Mr. Strew stood up and continued his words, "there is no need to fret. I called you because I have something," Mr. Strew patted his shoulder.

"What... is... it?" with a guessing face, he questioned.

"See this is the thing," Mr. Strew handed him a shopping bag with a big smile.

"New clothes," Felsen got amazed as he peeked into the satchel. His face lightens up.

"This is for you to wear for tomorrow. You informed us that tomorrow is that ball so."

"How did you...? Aaa! thank you, dad, thank you so much," Felsen hugged him as he got so emotional with the surprise.

"Our son needs something and we will be unaware, how can be this feasible," Mr. Strew dabbed. "Now come on, it's too late, tomorrow is your function you have to wake up early."

"Ok. Good night dad, good night mom," Felsen hugged them and get back in his room.

"He was so happy," Mrs. Strew said and smiled and embraced Mr. Strew.

"Yea! don't know why he didn't ask for it but how could we ignore his silence," Mr. Strew brushed her hair with his strong elegant finger.

"It's so late let's get into the room. We should also sleep now," Said Mrs. Strew and pulled herself away from his beloved husband to peek at him..

"I was wondering for a suit for tomorrow and dad solved my problem," while looking at the suit, with a smile on his face, Felsen said. His happiness was so evident in his eyes. Then he set the suit and the tie aside, and slept.

In the morning, Felsen caressed his eyes and wakened up before the alarm when the sun rays fell on his face through the window. Usually, he shrouds his face when the morning rays kissed his face, but because today is the ball, and Felsen was so keen to wear the tie and to appear in front of Lenna, so maintaining a big smile on his face he woke up and started getting ready.

Firstly, he took a shower and shaved the excess hair from his face, applied a little jell on his hair, and put on his suit brown color with a yellow shirt and a beautiful black butterfly tie which Lenna endowed him.

"Now, I am watchful," After putting on his pair of shoes, he stood up and giggled.

"Ahh! let me see myself, last time, in the mirror," when he was just, about to step out of the room, he said. "Yes, everything is fine," while arranging his tie, he murmured. "Yes, I can go now," he cleaned his throat and spoke.

"Wait!" Felsen just took his foot in the air and stopped there as he memorized something.

"Of course, Lenna will also come and...and I will wish to talk to her. Usually, I get nervous I should practice a little," Felsen in the mirror while looking into his eyes, discussed nervously.

"Ok, so ready. Hello Lenna, I am Felsen," while looking at himself in the mirror, Felsen spoke with a smile, and drove his hand forward, supposed to greet her.

"No, what am I doing? Sure, she knows that I am Felsen," Felsen took his hand back to him and with big chaotic eyes, he chatted while looking into the mirror.

"Ok, again! Mm..! Hello, Lenna hi! Mmmmm... mmm. No, no! No! Felsen...! what are you doing?"

"Ok, it's the last time. Hello Lenna, you are... looking... remarkable. Aaa...! is that enough?" Felsen was so nervous that he closed his eyes and sighed.

"Ok, let's meet her directly, and say whatever. No, no don't say whatever. Ahh! Am I thinking too much?"

"Felsen, are you ready?" Mrs. Strew shouted from downstairs, while setting the table for breakfast.

"Yes Mom, I am arriving ," Felsen arranged his hair for the last time, and get down.

"Mom, dad... how am I looking?" Felsen asked with big innocent eyes.

Mr. and Mrs. Strew when saw him they couldn't take their eyes off him.

"Why are you guys staring at me like this? Am I not looking decent?"

"No my son, in fact, you are looking tremendous," Mr. Strew and Mrs. Strew got emotional.

"Dad, why are you crying? Mom! why are you both crying," Felsen reached them, and asked worriedly as their tears hurt him a lot.

"Nothing son, it's just...! don't know when is our last meet," Mr. Strew tried to govern his tears, his voice gets heavy at the end of the sentence.

"Dad! what are you saying this? I don't know about... this earth and... its rules. All I know is that... I am not leaving you ever, and promise me that you will also not," Felsen hugged him so tightly like he never gonna leave him.

Mr. Strew has no answer to his question so he just smiled.

"You are looking so handsome. Come on now, let's have breakfast," Mrs. Strew did over the topic to transform the ambiance from dismal to optimistic.

"Come on son, let's have breakfast," Mr. Strew alludes.

During breakfast, Mrs. Strew when noticed his tie, she smiled at him and Felsen caught her smiling at him.

"Mom! what transpired? why are you smiling like this at me?" Felsen took it as strange because the way of she smiled was some distinguishable.

"So this is the thing... that you were... concealing yesterday night. A nice, black, butterfly tie. By the way, it is way better," Mrs. Strew did not miss the stake to tease her shy boy.

"No! why would I camouflage something from you," Felsen gave his best to act ordinary but he blushed.

"I didn't shop this, when did you?" Mr. Strew glared at the tie.

"For your information Mr. Strew, he didn't shop it, but someone gave it to him. Yesterday night, when I moved into his room, he endeavored hard to obscure it from me but I already saw it as I take a step in," Mrs, Strew spoke.

"Is that? Felsen! Then tell us who gifted it?"

"Of course, who could be this person? Lenna gifted him," Mrs. Strew teased him again.

"Mom!" Felsen blushed again and spoke, " By the way, how did you know that Lenna gave me. You reckon it right on the first try."

"Well, it is obvious the way you are wearing it around your neck," Mrs. Strew acted naughtily.

"She gave this to you. You sure meet her. What will you do when you will meet him," Mr. Strew said.

Felsen was mum on this. His dad understood and gave him a tip which was,

"Listen, son,

   "Whatever you will say it should come out directly from your heart, because, things are more pure and bright when your heart speaks."

You understand," Mr. Strew questioned.

"Yes," Felsen nodded and stood up.

"Mom, dad I think I should leave now."

When he said, Mr. and Mrs. Strew stood up from their seats to greet him.

"Take care," Felsen hugged them.

After greeting them Felsen starts arranging his clothes, "Am I looking good?" Felsen was spooked by his looks so he asked his parents.

"You are noticing excellent," Mr. Strew yanked him from his shoulders and voiced in a low voice.

"Ok then, I should leave immediately," Felsen peeped at both and said.

"Ok, mom. Ok dad bye," he hugged them and turned. "Bye," at the door he said, and shut the door.

Mr. Strew seemed some miserable after he left. When Mrs. Strew noticed him, she moved toward him and asked him the reason behind it.

On this, Mr. Strew, with teary eyes, mumbled,

"I am pessimistic because, the day has arrived."

"Means!" Mrs. Strew frowned. Her mind was crowded with different thoughts.

"We are gonna die today," Mr. Strew looked into her eyes and chatted. His voice became more miserable and heavy.
