F was thinking about M changing her clothes .A came in the afternoon . She loved F as her own child. She always cared about her .
Back to start when her best friend died and F was left alone, she always companied her . She thought of taking her as her own child by adopting her.
F's father worked in insurance company and he himself bought many insurances. One of his life insurances yield a couple of crores.
F's aunt and uncle use to gamble alot .They often lost there money and asked her parents for help . After knowing about the insurance they also wanted to adopt her. They were her closest relatives and knew that they will get her coustody .
F' s mother often told A about the ill doing they did. A also knew that she cannot defeat them in court for F 's coustody . So to keep her save she was thinking of ideas .
A spend many days thinking what to do .It was already a month after her friend died .F stayed at her house and she cared about her alot .
After all rituals were done, the lawyer from the insurance company came .
" Ma'm, I am from insurance company .Can you please call Miss F .I went on her old address but I was told she lives here."
" Yes, please sit ",A
M was to come back for his vocation but was few days late .
" Uncle , I am F . What happened ?. ",F
" I am sorry about your loss . Your father was my good friend and a great man "
(tears were falling from F's eye , A was consoling her )
" I am here to tell you his will ( talking softly , sobbing now and then). Your father's insurance nominee was your mother and since she is also dead and you are there only child ,it is yours now"
( F not understanding much ,tears rolling down her cheeks )
" But since you are ...."
Ding -dong ,Ding- dong. A opens the door . M was standing in front of her .
( M enters and sees F crying , )He has never met her .
( M enters and take his luggage directly to his room saying )
" Mom ,I am tired can I get a coffee"
"Where were you ? I called you many times but you......I "
"Mom..... please ....You have guests..."
" Sir would you like to have some coffee . Sorry for this ...You carry on ....."
( A tells her maid to make ☕ and sits beside F)
" Since she is not 18 yet ."

" Why she can't stay here . I will adop her . ....and ...."A
"No Ma'm ! You cannot ... Sorry bu..t ...you are not her relative ....I think....you know....what I mean ....."
After a long talk for hours nothing was concluded . The lawyer left and F went back to her room .
A gave M's room to F .M was lying on the bed half asleep when F entered the room . No lights were on . F didn't switch on the lights and jumped on the bed with watery eyes.
"Ahhhhhhj.........", M
"Aaaaaaaaaa.......",F
F jumped on M . He woke up and found something landed on him.
( after hearing F cry, A rushed to the room ,she opened the door and switched on the lights)
"What happened ?????????what happ..."

"M, what are you doing here ????...."
" Isn't this my room ???? What is happening ????? .....and....who....is....this.... isn't.....???? she your guest......."
" You come out!!!!! ..."
"Wh.....at......????"
"F you take rest . No need to worry . I will talk things out "
( M was shocked and a bit irritated as he woke up from sleep .)
A pulls M out in his half sleep state .
" Are you doing another charity?????? Please don't bring them home ??????Will you ...????"
" Mind you language ....She is in the room...You will get a good beating "
( M's father comes back from work )
"What happened ???? ( taking off his tie)
When did you come back???? M have you given up .....?????"
M's father always wanted him to join his company but M was never interested in it .He wanted to be a doctor and even left home for a few months when he was forced not to.
( M ignored his father question )
"Dad , when was your last yearly check up ."
( A's husband is a funny character , you cannot take him seriously . He loves eating sweets but was diagnosed diabetes a few years ago. He always ask M to give up his dream . He also went to live with M when he left home .M always nag him for eating sweets . He is a very lively person.)
"What did the lawyer say......."M's father
( He went in the kitchen talking . Opened the fridge to take water but his eyes saw something which shocked him . It was a chocolate cake . His eyes were shining . He at once changed the topic because he knew M will not let him eat it)
' I have to send them somewhere . They will not let me have it if they are here . So .....what can .....I do... ' ,comically taking in mind.
"You must be tired son ....You know I was so worried when you ....."
" Dad , you have changed .I wonder ...."
" You must have been tired from long journey . Let's sit . ( His eyes were on the fridge )...What di...id... th....the la.....wyer said "
A told everything the lawyer told her . She was worried about her .
( A was a big fan of TV dramas . She offen used to refer tv characters in real life)
" So she is your friend's daughter , But.....what is she doing in my room ..." saying out loud.
" BE QUITE ........go in L's room"
(L was M's younger brother .He was of F's age . He wanted to take over his father 's company and was studying abroad . )
" Go rest ....we will talk later.....go ....gooo..."M's father
" Come I will clear L's room for you ..How about going on picnic this Sunday",A ( Taking M to L"s room)
M's father had his eye on the fridge . When he heard the door of L's room closing he jumped the sofa and went to the kitchen . He took out the cake and started scooping it with spoon.
" What happened ,Uncle ????" F
( F came out of nowhere and shocked him and the cake fell down along with fell utensils . His mouth was full of cake and listening the sound A and M also came out .)
Everyone came out and M's father was cought red handed.
" D...A ....D..."
" Honey....."
