Author's POV
**************

2007, July, 18.

The weather was so bad, giving a gloomy aura as sky was covered with dark clouds. Looking like it might rain any second.

A 7 years old boy was standing infront of a elementary school, probably waiting for someone to pick him.  Almost every student left for their homes already.

Soon a car stopped infront of the boy as the driver come out from the car before opening the door of the boy.

That boy didn't uttered anything before quietly getting inside the car. The driver sighed in pity as he look at boy's expressionless face, this same boy used to smile widely but after his mom's death, the boy lost his smile for forever.

The driver started the engine and drove away from there.

The boy frowned when he saw the car taking different road, not the one leading to his house.

"Uncle...Where we going?" The boy finally asked, his voice sounded a little cold, unlike a 7 years old kid's voice.

"City hospital young master....Madam is admit there, so master told me to take directly there..." The driver informed

Oh right, his stepmom was pregnant.

The boy again turn quite as he got the answer to his question. He was looking outside of the car window, suddenly a loud thunder echoed in sky and soon raindrops followed.

That's boy's expression turn into a scared one. His whole body start trembling as he covered his ears with his hands, tightly, blocking the sound of raindrops hitting the ground. He start breathing heavily.

He hates rain, he hate it to his core. The sound of rain bring backs the most painful memories of that most unfortunate night of his life.

The driver noticed his unusual behaviour and hurriedly closed the car windows as the glass was soundproof, the sound Finally  stopped,making that boy's breath stable a little.

"Sorry young master,I forget that you hate the sound of rain...im really sorry" The driver sincerely apologized.

That boy took few deep breaths to calm his trembling body before shaking his head.

"It's okay...i'm fine..." The boy said his voice sounded a little hoarse before falling silent once again.

After 30 minutes, the car stopped infront of City hospital. The boy come down from the car and immediately covered his ears as rain was still pouring heavily.

Although the sound still fall into his ears, but he still tried his best to not focus on it.

"2nd floor and 204 room number... You can go inside..." The driver said when he saw other's tensed face.

The boy nodded and hurriedly run inside, wanting to avoid the the sound of rain as much as he can. He soon found himself on the second floor. He start looking for the "204" room no.

Just when he reached infront of 202 room no. He saw a middle aged man walking back and forth in infront of a specific room, anxiously, in the corridor.

That middle aged man was none other than his dad. He walked to the said man slowly.

"Oh shub..you are here..." His dad, Mr.Gill said once he noticed his presence.

The boy or now shubman, ignored his father like he don't exist. And stare at the door calmly. Mr.Gill sighed as shubman gave him cold shoulder yet again.

It's nothing new between the father and the son duo. It's been like this, since Shubman's biological mother's death. It only increased when Mr.Gill remarried his own personal assistant.
