Everyone has their own troubles (Part-II)

Chapter - 109

"I am home," it was around dinner time that Alex walked into the house. He was so tired that, tossing his bag to the sides, he dropped dead on the couch in exhaustion.

"You look dog-tired. What have you been up to all day?" Martha asked as she walked out of the kitchen with a glass of water, hearing Alex.

"It was really a tiring day," taking the glass from her, Alex said, "I had to run around places to find out what really happened with Abir and Suzie. If not for Margaret, I would still be running around without much success," Alex said and gulped down the whole glass in one go.

"You were with Margaret till now?" Martha asked when she heard Alex. Her motherly instincts began to kick in.

"No... not all day, but till lunch, yeah," Alex nodded, "Huh... If not for her, I wouldn't know what to do," Alex sighed.

"Like a date?" Martha asked, raising her brows in question.
