It was 10 am and JK rubbed his eyes. He was surprised that Sudhi, his best friend had not come to wake him up. His head was heavy as he slept at 5 in the morning. He was worried about Sudhi but he later made his mind that he might be in yesterday's hangover.

JK sat blankly on his bed for sometime. He often had a starting problem, after getting up in the morning.

He would sleep late at night. Sometimes sleep touched him in the morning. He took Jassi's card in hand.
He touched the words :

I Love You Jai, again and again. He was lost in her thoughts....

As a kid, he had morning school. Sleep never came to him at right time and he struggled to go to school with Jassi his bodyguard.His darling sister will keep him engrossed with her King and Queen stories and get him do his morning chores like bathing, brushing, drinking milk ( he loved milk like a cat). Drinking milk and packing bags became easy for him and happened simultaneously. They both hopped to school. His elder brother did not go with them. Rani would tell Jassi:

Dyan se jao. Jungle ke raasthe se mat jaana. (Go safely and don't pass through forest road). Jassi would nod a yes. But later tell JK in English :

STOP LISTENING TO YOUR MAA. WE GO BY JUNGLE. I WILL SHOW YOU BIRDS.

For JK, she was his Goddess. He listened to her. They saw the birds together. She told him, which bird was a male and which is a female and her stories continued till they reached his school. Then,she headed to her Convent School.

JK's father, Adi had admitted his three sons to vernacular medium, stating that he can't afford English medium but Buwa ji, a widow yet a strong woman, who worked in a missionary hospital sent her only daughter to Convent school. Jassi looked like a Britisher and all of them at home called her by that name.

Jassi

While coming back home,she would collect Tamarind, raw Mangoes, Guava, fell on the ground. She would check the fruits, if it is pecked by birds.Plucking flowers was her birth right. JK would cry, he did not like people plucking flowers. He felt trees too cry, if one does that. He did not object, if his brother plucked blue berries, black berries or guava in their garden,as they are tasty. Once JK got angry and hit Jassi hard on her face for plucking flowers. Jassi got angry, she said in English :

I give you to snakes. You will die violet in colour. I will distribute ladoos to my friends and stay happy. Get Lost.

He did not cry but felt bad.
