We waste our time on finding a perfect lover,
instead creating perfect love.

" But the same mother tells her children about your story... Not for a lesson... For inspiration " I touched his nose with my finger playfully and rose up to leave.

Can Antonio be a good boy for one day?

I looked at the hand that is holding me from going. He lifted his head smiling, " I am not done talking yet " he said.

" You want me to? " I asked him. I don't know why I want him to say yes but if he change his heart, I can't tolerate it. It's better leaving before.

He nodded his head.

-growl-

I chuckled, this is the third time.. I heard his stomach growling from the time we started talking. But now, it's a little louder.

" I think you are hungry... Wait here, I will be back with some food " I said.

He left my hand and signed me to go. I walked inside and heated the food before walking to Antonio with a tray.

" Have it, looks like you are having a tiring day " I pushed the tray towards him. He silently started eating.

" What about you? " He asked me.

" I am not hungry " I replied.

" Why?... Is anything wrong? "

I shook my head, " Nothing is wrong, I am not feeling hungry. That's it " I said. " Leave it and tell me about your memory "

" ... Mmm... mm.. One fine day, we three visited my uncle's house for help. " Help! " We thought to start a company of our own. So, we need investors and etc.. etc. At that time, Uncke Sen was leading his business profitably... We explained our theme. He listened to the entire project and told us that it would not work. With disappointment, we returned back to our houses... At that time, me and Olivia were friends... And Syles hate that fact. " He said by dropping the meat in the plate.

" I don't know why he hate her that much... The next day, she came to us along with her father. He agreed to invest but Syles opposed. He told non sense to let down my dream project... It was my dream, that company was my dream... The three of us stayed away from each other for few days. After few days, Darson came running to me saying that Syles and my project is missing. "

" Did you suspected him? " I asked him turning to the pool.

" Yes " I gulped down the bile in my throat. We can't do anything because the situation demanded him. " I believed that he ran away with my project... Soon, someother company released their new theme which is exactly similar to mine... Olivia came to my home and stood beside me when I needed a shoulder... She said that they can theft our idea but not our brain... She told me that in this world there are no good humans. Everyone is greedy. And I believed that because it is true... Isn't it. That was why I stayed away from Darson too. I thought that he too will do like Syles. " He said.

A minute of silence occupied us.

" It is not " I mumbled.

" What? " He asked me leaned forward to see me. I turned my head to him.

" It is not greedy... Not everyone is greedy... Not this world is greedy." I said pressuring every sentence.

" You don't know " he mumbled.

I smiled.

" Tell me... Were your parents greedy?.. " I asked him. His eyes widened. " They are not because they wanted you to be a great man neither they treated you less nor they expected anything from you. Am I right? "
