Walking towards him, Avar noticed that there's something different from the last time she saw him. After all, he was her crush.

"Hey, I am Avar," she introduced herself to him with a smile.

"Ok," he replied dryly.

"Did something happen?" She asked shocked by his response. He was always smiling.

"Well," he started after glancing at her. "My mother passed away, and you know what. Every night for the last few years she said Darling it's not what you think!" He said looking lost.

"So you are saying..." She started to talk, but he cut her off, "you don't deserve me," he said before he walks away.

"Ok, whatever, that wasn't cool, I had a huge crush on him. Plus how does he knows and decides whether I deserve him or not? I am single, yes. I love being single, yes, I am happily single, well I don't know. Not anymore," Avar tells herself.

It's almost impossible to know now because apparently, the only person who knew all the answers was her mom who is dead now. No one can actually ask a dead person anything. "Am I supposed to accept that I don't know something and just move on? I think that's the best" he asks and answers himself before he goes to put the mug in the sink.

Just then there's a knock on the door. "Who is..." Max start talking while opening the door, but once the door was opened, he stopped talking, seeing it's Avar.

"Um hi, I'm a curious person ok? I need to know what's going on?" She said.
