Niri:  What happened??? Otias?? Otias?? Wake up!!!
Otias: Uhmm... Niri? Why are you here? 
Niri: It's Christmas night. You forgot? 
Otias: Oh yes,  I remember now. 

Niri picked up Otias and hugged him with tears in her eyes. She was scared, she thought she lost him. Otias didn't know how to react because of the news he heard from the doctor. How could he be happy now? 

Niri: Why did you fell off? What happened?
Otias: Oh, it's nothing. I am happy, the doctor said I won't die.
Niri: That' s great. Why are you crying for?
Otias: It's nothing. Let me show you what I prepared.

Niri was amazed by Otias's cooking skill. He prepared too many dishes. How would they be able to eat all of this. Niri came with a great idea.

Otias: Something wrong Niri? Is the food bad?
Niri: No, no it's too much actually. We won't be able to eat all of this. 
Otias: Can't we just throw it away?
Niri: Nooooo, that's bad.
Otias: Why is it bad?
Niri: Look, the orphanage is opened right now. Why don't we go and give the rest of the food to those children?
Otias: Even if you are stupid sometimes, you can't stop to amaze with these kind of ideas. Yeah sure, let's go.

Niri and Otias packed up everything they need and began to walk to the orphanage. They were acting very shy with each other until their hand touched. Niri was screaming all of a sudden.

Niri: Hey watch out!!! Why did you grabbed my hand? You scared me.
Otias: I thought you were the one who grabbed my hand and I liked it. Why would you be scared?
Niri: Well I liked it also, but but but...

Niri's face turned red all of a sudden. She didn't talk anymore until they reached their destination.

Otias: We're here. Let's go inside and make their christmas better.
Niri: You can grab my hand now.
Otias: Oh really? Haha, you're too shy with me.
Niri: Isn't that because I like you?
Otias: Maybe..

They got inside and every kid jumped at them with many questions and the most important part.. The kids were happy. They haven't seen someone paying them a visit in the Christmas night for more than 4 years. Some kids were looking very weirdly at Otias. 

Otias: Is something wrong kids?
Kids: Mister, is she your girlfriend?
Otias: Niri!!!!! These kids want to know something. Go and answer them.
Niri: What do you want ?? Need my help for something?
Kids: Are you his girlfriend?
Niri: Uhmm.. I think so. Why?
Kids: Go and kiss !!!!!

Otias and Niri's faces turned red all of a sudden. They didn't expect these kids to talk with them so easily. They kissed though.. It was a shy kiss. Otias also saw a little girl. She sat down near the stairs from the very beggining.

Otias: Is something wrong?
??: It's Lisa. I know your father.
Otias: How is this possible?
Lisa: You look exactly like him. Suddenly he stopped visiting us. He just write us letters.
Otias: What did you say?
Lisa: That he writes letters?
Otias: It can't be... My father passed away 3 years ago.
Lisa: You're stupid. What was his name?
Otias: Ezra. I loved him. My mother also died.
Lisa: I know about your mother, but your dad is fine. He just doesn't want to see you because he failed to protect your mom.

Otias started crying and went outside running. Niri went after him and hugged him from behind.

Niri: I will always love you Otias. I will be here for an eternity...
