Back to the home with the boy. The girl initiated conversation in order to get to know him.

"My name is June. What's your name ?"

Boy answered,

"I am Tristan."

As they neared the residence where June lived. They were both preoccupied with their chat. Tristan turned his eyes towards people, noticing that everyone was watching at him, and he abruptly stopped walking in the middle of their conversation. June observed that.

"Hmm.  Why did you stop? " she asked.

Tristan replied with nervousness.

"I think coming here is a bad decision. I should go."

He seemed frightened. June looked into his panicked eyes and gave him comfort.

"Relax, just walk with me. We are about to reach home."

And she smiled at him

Tristan nervously nodded his head. While his eyes remained linked to June's eyes.

When they reached home June replied with Joy.

"Here is my home. Let me call my mom."

She stared calling her mom.

"Mom ..... Mom...."

"Look who's coming with me?"

Her mother heard her calling and opened the door. Her expression was astonished and frightful, as she had seen her young child with the boy having a hideous image everywhere.

June replied

"Mom. Please relax. I am already.  Actually  I was stucked under a tree trunk, but Tristan helped me."

June asked her mom to let Tristan come into her house.

"Mom, can Tristan join use for dinner???

But her mother refused straight away.

"No. Not at all dear."

Tristan's eyes sagged with grief. By watching boy's disappointed face her mother offered.

"But we can provide him food, if he wants. "

June stared arguing,

"That's okay."

He said hesitantly,

"No problem ma'am."

Her mother provided him with food. And June saw he had nothing to defend himself from the cold. So she dashed inside her room, found her older brother's Hoodie, and handed it over to him. When her mother walked into the kitchen to get food for the boy.

June was out of air when she spoke,

"Here, take this."

Boy glancing away and replied,
