'Sigh atlast you are left with 20 bucks only!' Serene sighed and started thinking how to manage now. It was sure that she can't save money for transport anymore. She has to run back home! Moreover she can't afford food either 'Ahh my poor life'
She went to the shop to get the last thing she can get for Roy. "Uncle, can you give me any wafer that costs 20 bucks." She directly stated her amount that she can give to them.
"Here"
"Thanks"

Soham was always watching her from a little bit far away from her. Her Martial art level isn't that great as Soham, otherwise she would have found his presence in a second. Soham was way too good in hiding himself.
When he saw her brother's unconcerned behaviour he almost cursed him. Why didn't her brother even ask her if she had anything or not the whole day?
Her brother just had two whole plates alone without asking if his sister wanted something or not. Moreover he took away the last 50 bucks and her can of milk. Such an ill-mannered brother.
He felt impatient with himself. He was anxious because he wanted her to have something before she go back to class. Right now she don't have stomach ache but this way she might...
She could have something to eat if her brother and friend were a little bit less foodie. But now she is left with nothing. How can she be so kind to others but cruel to herself. He doesn't get this kind of ideology.
He would prefer her having everything at first than him after that she can think about him if she left with something.
With anxiety he forgot that what he is doing and thinking is the same as her. Giving others gives you more happiness than giving it to yourself.

"Here your milk and wafer" Serene gave the polythene bag to Roy.
"Where's yours?" He asked. He never saw her having nothing when he had things in his hand to eat.
She smiled sheepishly "Ohh you think I would be able to hold myself this long. I already had it on my way!" Yeah the air in this world must be in her stomach by now.
He amusingly laughed "You!!... Did you have food?" Later he asked again. He knew very well that she would prefer wafer over food. He has to take this part for her. But today she didn't have anything at lunch time.
"Yeah I just had some rolls. Well that makes my stomach a little heavier" She lied again. She wanted to ask him to treat her when she was on verge of crying for hunger but then she remembered that his allowances are on a daily basis too. He won't have extra money either.
He was satisfied with the answer "That's great if you feel heavier. That shows you are fully."
"Yeah I think too" She headed down to the desk to hide her vulnerability.

Soham was angry to the core when he heard her lying, especially when she gave the last pack of milk and wafer to someone else just because he asked. He doesn't get it why she is torturing herself!
He was shocked to see how good she is to her brother. She even didn't have anything since morning but she didn't care a bit before spending half of her expenses on him.
He was stunned by her generosity. She only got two things left for her but she gave them to her friend, and even lied that she ate, because she didn't want him to worry.
Whenever he thinks about all this, it irks his heart. He never felt this bad for giving wrong judgement about someone. He never actually cared if stuff went wrong because of him. But now he wants her to know that he was wrong about her, he doesn't want her to ignore him anymore.
But does he have the way to all this! Definitely not! Ahh he felt so frustrated.
He looked up again from his bench, only to find her that she wasn't there, neither her only friend. He literally finds her friend quite annoying. Roy always sticks to her. She can have girls as her friend too but why this boy, who likes her this much too.
