Walking alone to an orphanage while getting back from college was something rare in the past few days. David used to accompany me after I cover some distance from college, as I had asked not to be seen with him in college else people would start noticing me which don't usually like!!
But today it was different, I had covered all way by myself and alone he didn't come to accompany me. That was strange to me but anyway it is not that I'm the only one he has to focus on his happening life, he has a lot of people who want to spend time with him. Step by step I was getting another reason for me to think that I'm not important to him it's just the feels bad for me the reason why he is spending the last few days with me.

Hell, why I miss him while walking back, I shouldn't do this. Do I started liking him, this question scares me as what if I get to know the truth that he is not at all interested in me, he is just being kind towards me. Instead of getting 10 reasons to live, I'll add another reason to die. So it's a big no for liking David.

I have finally reached an orphanage and feeling all alone and bored. I laid down on my bunker bed thinking to change me rugged dress so that it doesn't get more rugged but feeling too lethargic to do that too.
One hand on my stomach which was asking me to feed something, and another on my hairs. Pulling the hair strands one by one which I had created by rolling them with my fingers while thinking random thousand thoughts.

Suddenly I felt some movement and voice from the dark left corner of the room. I got startled as I was all alone. I was staring at that corner like a statue, in hope that this time I'll notice what made that noise.
The cloth log at that corner was moving a little. I know this is stupid, I sound stupid... Never I had believed in ghost but I was getting that feeling that might be I'll start believing in them from that very moment. Slowly I was moving towards the Bible I had in our shared shelves, just in case I have to use it against that ghost. While movie I heard a voice again, and this time I could hear a voice like a 5-month-old baby had sneezed from that log. It even had stopped me from fetching Bible, I was aghast as I looked at that log after that sneeze.

I hushed myself and stepped down my right leg from the bed, keeping an open pen in my hand for my safety, started walking towards the log. Moving as slow as I am not even moving, keeping my ninja mode on.

As I reached a hand distance to the log, it moved again, made me scream and jump at the same time, that was enough to break the scare I pulled the cloths off while squeezed my eyes shut at the same time. I tried Peeping from my left eye and found something moving, which didn't look scary... Though that "SURPRISEEE.... " scream by David at my back did take me to a heart attack for a while.
What is this... David!! You were hiding in my room without my permission, and I kept on pinching him with my disappointment that I even forgot that I had seen something, but David was continuously looking at the corner which made me look at it too... So serene, cute, sweet, golden shiny soft and whatnot, that was a puppy.
I forgot about scolding David. I picked him up started kissing him.. Who's pup is this I asked.
Your's - David replied while raising his eyebrows.
I was so surprised yet happy but then It reminds me of doubt if Mother grace would allow me to keep him.
All is taken care of... Saying this David jumped on my bed.
I was so happy to have him, as I used to envy people having dogs with them. I thanked David( in my heart only)

I took the pup to the bed and told David that pluto and I are still mad at you as you were hiding in our room without asking for our permission... Saying this I flicked my nose with my finger.. David started tickle both of us...

All I was around is happiness...

David didn't mention this time, but Six... Pluto is reason number six for my life...
