Cole's Pov
I finish my homework, close my notebook. And I grab my mobile, and to my surprise there are three missed calls from Luna.
I call her back, and she receives, at the end the of the second ring,"Hello", she sobs.
Why she is crying?
"Are you crying", I ask her first, without saying hello.
"No", she lies.
I wait for a few seconds, to give her some time, to tell, why she is crying? But she stays silent, and the only thing I can hear is her sobs, through the other end of the phone.
"Did you forgot clause no. 3, from our fake relationship contact?", According to Clause no. 3 in our fake relationship contract, we can't lie and keep secrets from each other.
"I remember it",
"Then tell", If she didn't tell me now also. I promise I will not force her, to tell.
"Okay", she sighs over the phone,"But I want to come at your place, right now".
Right now?
I don't think too much about it, and I say, "Okay come".
"I will be there in 20 minutes", she tells me, and hangs up the phone.
I come out, from my room. And I see Dad, sitting on the couch, watching something on TV. And I realize, that my girlfriend, sorry! My fake girlfriend is coming, but I haven't told, my Dad that I have a girlfriend.
"Dad", I sit next to him on the couch.
"Yeah" he says, his eyes still intact on TV.
"My girlfriend is coming",
"Okay", did he even heard, what I said?
"Wait a minute, what?", Oh! Now he realized what I said.
"My girlfriend is coming", I repeat the same words, which I used earlier.
"I did not know, you have a girlfriend?", He asks in surprise.
"It's been only, few days Dad",
"But still son, you forgot to tell your old man", he smirks.
"Okay! Sorry Dad!", I chuckle.
"Okay so what you and your girlfriend will have, for dinner Sir",
"Your specialty, mushroom risotto", I don't know, if Luna will like it, but Mushroom Risotto is my Dad's specialty.
........................................................................
Luna knocks on my door, after 20 minutes, and I welcome her in my house. She was crying, I can tell this because her eyes looks red and puffy. Though she tried to hide the redness and puffiness, of her eyes with make up, but as I can see she failed miserably.
"Luna this is my Dad", I introduce my Dad to her.
"And Dad, this is Luna, my girlfriend, Luna", sorry!! Fake girlfriend.
Why I do this every time? When I think in my mind, Luna as my girlfriend, my brain always corrects me, telling me that she is my fake girlfriend. Maybe I am afraid that I will forget that Luna is my fake girlfriend, as time will pass. That is why may be, my brain is, keeping me on tab.
"Hello Mr. Davis", Luna says with a smile.
"Please call me Mark, dear", Dad tells her, and she nods.
Dad sense that Luna is not in her best mood, and, excuses himself, and I take Luna in my room. She sits on the edge of the bed without saying anything. She is awfully quit today. And I am missing her usual spark.
"Hey, are you okay, do you want something tea, coffee, juice, or anything that you want to have", I start to mumble.
"Green tea would be nice", Her voice comes as a cry.
"Okay", I nod.
I go in the kitchen, to make green tea for Luna. Dad was already in the kitchen, cooking mushroom Risotto.
"Is she okay?", Dad asks.
"Yeah she will be, okay", I pour hot water, in the cup, "she is just going through something, but she is strong, she will get through this", I know, Luna will get through, whatever problem she is facing right now.
"I know, because you are there for her", Dad says with a smile. How will I help her? If I don't know, the reason of her sadness.
I just simply nod, and put the green tea bag, in hot water, and then take it to Luna.
"Green tea", I give the cup of green tea, in Luna's hands.
"You brought the tea, with tea bag in it", oh shit! I just forgot to remove the tea bag.
"Sorry I forgot to remove it", she pulls out the tea bag, and gives it to me.
After trowing the tea bag in the dust pin, I sit beside her, on the edge of the bed.
"Hey, if you don't want to tell me, what is bothering you, it's okay, forget about the clause, I am sorry, I was stupid to pressurize you, in name of clause no. 3",
"Stop apologizing, I want to tell you, about everything, because I want to, let it all out", Luna looks at me with her sad blue eyes.
Luna's POV
Yes I want to let it all out, all my pain, all the anger. I want to tell Cole everything, but I don't know how?, I don't know how to put my pain, in words.
I take a sip, of green tea, and then I take a breath before saying,"My Mom, wants to donate my Dad's things",
He looks at me, and only says,"oh", I wanted him to say something, and I didn't expect, just 'oh', from him.
"I know you must think, I am crazy, who have just created a drama over, this small thing, but for me, it is not just a small thing. Because those stuff, that my mother wants to donate, are not just mere stuff for me. Each stuff, in my Dad's room reminds me of him. And I fear if stop, keeping his room as it used to be, or if I give away all my Dad's stuff. I am afraid that I will forget him, I don't want to forget him Cole, I don't forget my Dad", I don't know, when I started to cry, but my cheeks are wet. And I feel much lighter now, after letting out, some of my pain.
"I am sorry Luna, for just saying only, 'oh', I didn't know what to say, because I am stupid, and you are not crazy. You just miss your Dad, and there is, nothing crazy about it. and I don't think, you will forget your Dad, if you give away his stuff. Because the memories of your Dad are in your heart, and the memories which are in heart, never vanish", Cole hugs me, and I feel peace in his arms, which I haven't felt, in a very long time.
