"Mom, I am hungry. I didn't even take my dinner yesterday. Give me something to eat". I say while sitting on the dining chair.

"Stop my dramatic daughter-in-law. Have some apples" She says and gives me an apple.

I eat my apple when Tara and Aarav also come from their room. Tara is on her phone, and Aarav is rolling the sleeves of his Black shirt.

"Good morning, bhabhi," they both say, and I kiss their cheeks.

"Where are you going"? I ask Aarav, he starts blushing, and I chuckle and thump him up.

"We can't understand your sign language," Tara says, and Mom laughs.

"Eat your breakfast", I say, and see Evan coming.

He sat beside me..and I raised my eyebrows and asked "Did you put my laptop on Charging"?

He stared at me, and I looked everywhere except his eyes.

I unlock my phone and check some emails. And don't notice that he left a while ago. I also make my way towards the garden to get some fresh morning air.

I took off my flats and walked barefoot on the grass. The Garden is beautiful with flowers and plants. And only four trees. The grass is clean. And an uncle is giving water to the plants.

I make my way towards him and see he is happily giving water to plants.

"Good morning uncle". I say, and he turns his face and smiles.

"Good morning, beta. How are you? Do you want some flowers"? He asked, and I shook my head while crossing my hands over my chest.

"I don't want flowers. And I am fine. I just came here to have some fresh air. The day I got married, I didn't leave the house. So I thought I would have some fresh air".

"Ya, fresh air is also important". He says while laughing.

"I have a daughter like you" he says, and I smile.

"Tell me about her". I said, and he nodded.

"She is in school and has the same cheeks as you. She loves flowers and I love gardening. Her mother, I mean my wife, owns a bakery. Her cakes are so good".

"I want to taste them". I say

"I will get you pastries made by her hand". He says, and I nod with a smile.

He is so good that he tells me about his wife and daughter and his choices. I felt happy when he said he would get you pastries. After hearing his words, I remember my dad. Who always fulfilled my wishes without looking at the prices. He transferred millions of money into my account without telling me. But life is unbelievable it can change in seconds. Like mine has changed in a night.

"Uncle, what type of plant is it"? I ask

"It's a herb plant", he says and gives water to the plants.
