*******************************

I started my car . It was 6 o clock when I left the Marin mansion . I had tried to talk to lizza but she was stubborn and didnt give away anything . I could see the pain in her eyes but it was as she was scared of something . So I decided to meet her tomorrow. After a lot of persuasion, she agreed to have coffee with me in nearby cafe .

I reached home and Opened the door with the key I had . Evans must be at home by then .

" Evans " I called out . He stuck his face out of his rooms door .

" Yeah? " he said .

" I am really tired , I can't make anything right now . Just order something or make that pasta of yours " I said as I kept my bag and keys on the table . I looked up and saw his teary eyes . He had been crying I could see that .

" Were u crying ?" I asked moving towards him . I noticed he was holding mom's necklace .

" No " he said as he scowled at me .
" I am ordering Chinese " he said as he took his phone and went to his room .

Evans was very close to mom , tomorrow is mom's first death anniversary, I couldn't believe it's been a year without her . She was so full of life , always supporting us , putting us forward
4 and half years ago we had the perfect family - mom ,dad , Evans , me and Ian . Then our lives flipped in just one night . That night broke all our relations, gave us bruises which can never be healed . Now it was just Evans and me who were left in this house . Mom left us last year due to stomach cancer . In her end moments she taught us to never loose hope and gave us enough strength to be independent and keep our heads high . She was my inspiration, my idol.

" I've ordered it , it'll come in 15 minutes , do u wanna watch a movie ?" Evans brought me back to present .

" Yeah sure I'll just Change my clothes and come back " I said wiping away the single tear which had escaped my eye .
I changed into my grey oversized T-shirt and black pyjamas .
I went down after washing my face .
I flopped down on the couch beside Evans . He served the food .
" What should we watch ?" I asked trying to change the silent atmosphere .

" The notebook?" He said through his teeth . He was clenching his jaw . This movie was mom's favourite movie . I sighed . Now it was time to stop ignoring the pink elephant in the room .

" Evans , we'll go to see mom tomorrow " I said . I could feel the lump rising in my throat .
" Hmm " he replied , a small tear escaped his eyes . He had suffered a lot in the last few years , he didnt deserve all if this . I shifted forward and hugged him tight . He was stiff at first then relaxed and wound his arms around me . I could feel the his tears on my shoulder .

" Will we go to see Ian? , he deserves to go see mom " His muffled voice asked me .

" The doctor won't allow us to take him out " I sniffed . Evans retreated back and say with his head leaning back .

" I know " he said in a hoarse voice .

" Tell you what , you can go meet him . Tell him that we'll give mom a chocolate from his side " I said and attempted to smile . Mom had a sweet tooth and was crazy for chocolates . Ian always got mom chocolates.

He smiled " yeah , I'll meet him tomorrow"

" Ok now we should eat , am starving " I said .

The rest of the night , we watched the movie , occasionally a few tears escaping , remembering mom. I told Evans about the lizza case . He slept while watching the movie , I put a blanket on him and slept on the couch while sitting .
