You know, l think she is lying, said Jwel thoughtfully.


Jiya? asked Joe.


Yeah, she isn't reading all these books for interest. Her style of reading isn't that aggressive generally, right? asked Jwel.


You know better than me, said Joe nervously.


In childhood she used to read aggressively like this when she was sad about anything. She did it to distract herself from the thing that's making her sad, said Jwel.


Do you know what she's sad about? asked Joe becoming more nervous.


How would I know? She really never shares anything with anyone, said Jwel angrily.


That's good, mumbled Joe.


What?


Nothing. I think she will be alright by herself. Don't worry too much, said Joe lightly.


It's not about that, said Jwel sighing. As you know that I ruined her childhood totally, so l will be very happy if l can do something to help her in her difficult times. In this way, maybe l will be able to repay her a little. She actually never got any support from any dear one when she needed it . At least, this time I want to help.


Joe stared at Jwel for a long moment. His eyes distracted in some thoughts. He finally sighed.


You can't help her if she doesn't accept it. Also, after so many years of misunderstanding your relationship is finally getting better gradually. I think it should be at it's natural pace. Don't push it,Joe patted Jwel on the shoulder.


I think she is more comfortable around you than anyone else, said Jwel smiling slightly. So, please have a chat with her when you get time. Maybe you can help?


Joe gulped. Of course, he chuckled nervously.
