"Who is she?" Jehangir pretended to ask the shopkeeper.

"She is Amelia. A child in a woman's body. She is one of my regular customers who frequently buys or 'steals' the lollipop, until a girl look like her-probably Aminah frequently apologizes me and pay the penalties" described the grocery merchant. He looked a bit stressed out.

Jehangir felt doubtful but he understood the disease. Therefore, Kamal had taken him to the street school. It was an open field. It had a tree behind the footpath and an empty street where children as well as teenagers were listening to the teacher. The teacher was a little bulky as if he were almost fifty who looked thirty. He wore a round spectacle. His gray fluffy hair reflected as if he was cheerful.

"Sadek!" called Jehangir.

The chubby man looked at him with a joyful surprise.

"Oh Jehangir, my amigo! How are you doin'?" hugged the chubby man, Sadek.

"Amigo! I am good but what's up with you? And how did you come back from America?" said Jehangir.

"Amigo, it's a long story. Catherine died and" explaining Sadek but interrupted by Jehangir.

"What about Rohit?" asked Jehangir.

"Rohit disappeared and no one knows, what he's up to. But as far, Catherine died in a car accident but Rohit and his daughter disappeared after marrying twice. Till then, I came to Bangladesh in honor of Catherine who was the actual founder of the school" revealed Sadek.

"Oh, that's a tragic event. I wish I could see their daughter" sympathized Jehangir.

"Sadek Uncle!" cried a girl.

The girl was smiling. She was holding her DSLR Camera in such a manner in a position of capturing pictures. The children and teens were attracted to her sweet smile. Simultaneously, the kids gave her white roses as the adolescences sang praises for her elegant smile that made every people forget their own misery. In the meantime, Jehangir sighed as Sadek looked at him.

"Is there something wrong?" asked Sadek.

"I have seen that girl in the grocery shop. Isn't that that Kamal described?" inquired Jehangir.

"Yes. But I allow her to visit us because she is lonely. By the way, I heard a lot of complaints about your treatment with the patients" said Sadek.

"I agree. I was lost in my success and money" grieved Jehangir honestly.

"At least you have the same honesty that I saw during college" praised Sadek.

The girl normally walked near Sadek and Jehangir. Her cute and naïve smile awed more to the boys.

"Sadek uncle, I have been looking for you all over today" the girl interrogated playfully.

"My dear Aminah, I had breakfast with Amelia and my wife with Mahrab and Nishat" explained Sadek.

"Amelia? Did she annoyed you again?" asked Aminah, the girl.

"No no, she's a good girl today" replied Aminah.

"Does she know that Amelia and Aminah are the same person?" whispered Jehangir in Sadek's ears.

Sadek nodded 'no, I will explain you later'.

Jehangir sighed and concerned at the same time. Aminah looked at Jehangir.

"Who is that person?" asked Aminah to Sadek.

"Meet my friend, Dr. Jehangir" he introduced to Aminah.

"Pleasure to meet you, sir" smiled Aminah.

"Same here" said Jehangir
