This is the story of two neighbours who always fight with each other, how their life changes when the love suddenly blooms up.

"My stomach hurts now! I don't know why I'm laughing," my girl said, clutching her stomach as if she was done.
"That's because you belong in a mental hospital, and today you've gone mad and can't control yourself." I chuckled.
"You forgot-you're also laughing with me."
Yes, I was laughing. Laughing like I had forgotten the whole world-because my whole world was right in front of me. Laughing, even though I got kicked out of class. This was all my girl's magic. Only she could bring this side of me out.
"We both belong to the mental hospital, baby," I reassured her.

He stepped forward.
And hugged me.
...
What?
My entire body froze.
If there was one person in the whole world whom I'd gladly murder without hesitation, it was this guy.
But now?
He was hugging me.
And the strangest part?
I didn't hate it.
I didn't even know why he did it, but at that moment, I realized-
This was exactly what I needed.

"Come on, you would have seen it in your home, in movies, it is everywhere. Why are you speaking like you gave up on everything?"
"For you it may be easy, but when I think about the word love all I remember is my father beating up my mom while I am sitting under my bed closing my eyes and ears, feeling all guilty that I can't save her. I tried to go in middle for once, but I got a wound as he threw the flower vase at me. The next day, my mom came to me and asked me to stay out of this and act like nothing was wrong. I told her, I don't want her to get hurt or to be in that weak situation. But she told me that, it hurts her more because I got hurt in middle than she will actually get usually. She loves me, that makes my wounds give her more pain than hers, she loves my father, that she is ready to get hurt for his satisfaction. That is love for her right? What does her love give her anything but grief."
