Later, Amy enters Han's room with her blanket and a book ordering Han to read it for her. She needs to finish this history chapter today but it's little tough for her to comprehend so he suggests him to read it and narrate her in simple story form like bed time stories.
"Am I your mother?" Asks Han and Amy instantly replies, "yes". He told her that he will be her family. If she had a mother she had gone to her but all she has is him. So he has to be her mother, brother, everything. "And father" Han asks. "No, not father" she replies with an angry tone and Han asks the reason but all she said is "just" with an oblivious reaction. Han narrates her the story without further interrogating her the questions running through his mind and in half way Amy falls asleep.
Next day went normal like her daily routine with one more thing added to her schedule, meeting with Dr Kim. He started her therapy and provided her dark spectacle which helps her see through strong lights without suffering the panic so that she can enjoy the night without trouble. But tonight Amy again comes to Han's room with her blanket and book. He asks if she really going to make it her routine too and her response is, "why not". But this time she has some plans too. She decided to record Han's voice while he is narrating the story so that if she fall asleep again in the middle, she will listen the rest during her free time like in car, while eating, during workout where she can work and learn simultaneously. Han asks in surprise where she got this idea from and she replies "today, on my way to academy while listening to music and thinking how to adjust my time with therapy sessions." She just cannot risk her studies due to her situation. Han worries that she may exhaust herself with too much tasks but she argues that exhaustion is better than troublesome thoughts and he stops there. He starts narrating the story and again Amy slept halfway. However, Han finished the story, then turned off the voice recorder, but eventually it lead Han to sleep late. Amy notices the fact and decides to do something for Han. In morning, Amy wakes early switching off the alarm and decides to make breakfast herself so that she can save time for Han to help him sleep more. She wakes Han after preparing breakfast. Han gets up and ruffles his hair after looking at the clock apprehending how to manage everything on time. He has half an hour left to get ready, prepare breakfast and all but Amy releases his tension telling him that she already prepared the meal and even packed tiffins for both of them. This amazed Han and he gets up to look outside but Amy stops him telling that he should get ready quickly as he is running out of time, meanwhile, she goes up to get ready too.
They both then set the table and Han looks at the unusual dishes in incredulity. She made cheese sandwich, boiled eggs and Russian fruit salad for breakfast and for lunch she packed egg sandwich, paneer fried rice and vegetable salad. She chose to make easy recipes which she liked, taking lessons from internet, without realising that every dish is so different in taste that they could hardly complement each other. However, Han takes bite of each dish and agapes his mouth with wide eyes to compliment her art instead. Han enjoys the meal and thanks Amy with an advice that she should make dishes that supplements each other since the huge difference in their taste makes them less savoury. Amy fills with joy to hear that her dishes were delicious and in mind she keeps the advice to perform better. Soon, they both heads out to their business. Han in his free time started making audio files for Amy like formulas of math, science facts, nomenclature and laws, history stories, economical stats and various others. On the other hand, Amy tries her hand on making different kind of cuisines on daily basis, often experimenting with recipes to discover what will happen if she uses different methods like instead of steaming, she deep fries her dish, instead of using all purpose flour she uses rice flour and sometimes she put all left over ingredients in rice and boils it adding some spices to adjust flavors. Sometimes good, sometimes bad but both enjoys it and play together to invent new recipe.
