I was still troubled about what Annie said to me yesterday, but I pushed that thought at the corner of my mind and started for the school, knowing the fact Annie would not answer me I just didn't want to ask. I will but for now let it at a side.

"What junk" I heard a voice from in front of me say, which pulled me back to the Earth and I looked up in front of me to see Annie walking with a book in her hand and I rushed up to her.
"Hey! What happened anything wrong?"
I asked Annie with a grin with the guess that she will be asking a stupid question like she does when she is irritated and wants to get rid of something. Being made to study.

"Can I ask you a question?" asked Annie to me "Nah whatever. Like I won't ask if you say no" she added, which amused me. She is a really mean person and so relate-able. She looked me if I will answer her, she actually would beg to me if I say no which would actually make me say 'yes', so I motioned her to start.

"Oh yeah that. Why didn't a bowling ball fall on his head" she asked me pulling off a serious face.
Amused ya already didn't she. And I am going to kill her. I respect scientists but I'll let her go and she is definitely talking about one.
"On whom?"
"Issac Newton" she said and I busted into laughter " I mean, I mean, if bowling ball fell on his head there could have been many advantages like ... hmm I'll go for ... if a bowling pin fell on his head he would not be able to write the laws of gravity , no laws of gravity more numbers of students passing and less of the teachers screaming .. students passing .. job .. business..spectacular other and more developments of country and children. " Explained Annie keeping up the serious face.

"Hey! We shouldn't talk like that , no laws of gra...-" Annie interrupted me in my speech which was soon turning into a lecture and kept her hands on ear and started "blablablablablah"
Development of children... sounds like something.
..............

"Hey pleease come to my house. Pwetty pweese " I pleaded Annie to come with me to my home
"Okay" she agreed with her voice hung low after a long me-plead-time, I started laughing and rushed to the other side of the street and stopped at the signal. Just as the walk light turned green I started walking on the white and black stripes.  

A sudden jolt shook me and my head hit the ground with Annie on top of me. It took me a little time to notice what happened.

"Watch out " Annie shouted and jumped upon me causing her to be my life savior. I breathed up and down on the ground as I didn't realize that I held my breath out of shock of seeing the car.

I got up , dusted myself and thanked Annie. I don't know why but I thought Annie knew something about this but I ignored my suspicions and kept walking on track. Wait! Didn't she tell me that I will be hit with a car soon. Well, I can make out one thing uncle Bruce caused the accident and I chuckled at the thought.

"So, how many languages do you know?" asked Annie from me as we just planned on watching a movie.
"English,Spanish and a little bit of Japanese, you ?" I asked her back.

" English ,Urdu, Dutch ,Hindi,Arabic, Spanish and Japanese, that's all" said Annie carefully choosing her words. "well, Bollywood , Hollywood, Lollywood, school and Anime " she added.

 I got excited that I will finally come to know what was written in that letter my mom sent me a few years ago and didn't even tell me what it was. She said that find someone to read it for you and say the name 'JJ' or perhaps 'Katin' and observe the persons response. The person will have to be your age maybe on January 1st.

All this matched Annie so I got up, dragged her to my room and started finding the letter which I think I kept in my drawer.
"Turn on the lights" I told her and she did it.
"What are you doing? " Annie asked. I found a letter and told her to read it out loud.

"Which language is it in?"
"Dutch"

she started,

my child.
Alexenderailean

I have a request to ask you of and that is to take care of Jack. Special care. I mean I know you would but what I am asking you is something else. And would you mind finding me a betrayer and stay away from your dad if he is alive. Just find your step-mother. 

with love,                                                                                                                                                                      Anaya

I was so shocked by hearing this all and forgot about telling her about the name. On hearing the word betrayer I knew she was a person she cared for a lot.

"What was that name?" with such pleading eyes she asked. I wasn't expecting her to ask.

"Why would you ask?" I asked her with the thirst of answer- the real one. I want to know what is hidden not what is displayed.
"Please" she begged with a tear rolling down her face. I guess I can't keep it from her. She deserves to know.
"Katin" I blurted out and she had a few more tears stream down her face. Why is she crying that is what I don't know? Well, now I guess she did not deserve the answer as I know the content of letter was more than that. I regretted it there and then but again I don't know the truth. Maybe it was just that. Why would she lie? She wouldn't right...

"I will definitely help you find that women" Annie sounded serious when she told me that. The bag of smolder became visible in my heart there and then.
