         Next day Robert's father told him about his grandfather's illness. He became sad listening this.He was very much attached to him. His grandfather had taught him many life values and life skills. He went to Los Angeles with his parents to his grandparents house. Los Angeles is the second most populous city in the world.
His grandfather was in the evening of his life. His face looks like a pale winter moon. Seeing him in his declining years he became very upset. The pank of separation from his grandfather made him sad.
          Two weeks passed by. His grandfather illness increase and he died. His death affected Robert very much as he was very much attached to him. After his funeral he came back to california with his parents.He did'nt attended classes for few days as he needs to be alone for sometime to deal with his pain.
        Susan had a habit of arguing with Robert. She was missing those arguements which she had with him. It was after long time that someone talked to her friendly. Till now she had just faced stupid gossips and fake sympathy of people. She had forgot to live and enjoy life. She had caged herself to the four walls of her room. She always see things with jaundice eye.
         When she meet Robert on frist day, she thought that he was also the same like others. But instead Robert wanted to change her views and wanted to become her friend. But she denied his friendship as, she was afraid that he will also leave her one day like her other friends.
          Robert went to college after few days. Susan saw him in the varanda. She wanted to know what was the reason of not attending the classes from last few days, but her self centered behaviour not allowed her to ask. He just greet her and went without saying any more words. That day they does'nt have much talk. Susan was amazed by his silent behaviour. She wanted to talk with him, argue with him ,but something stopped her again and again.
           On the way home she saw a car accident. The car was completely damaged and the driver was lying wounded on the ground. The blood was continously flowing from his wounds. That  accident digged up her old memories. She hurried to her home. At night she went to her bed and tried to sleep. She was thinking about Robert's strange behaviour and that accident which she saw on the way. When she close her eyes the wounded man face came in front of her. She tried hard to sleep.
