"Why are you getting all this unhealthy food?" he asked the girl who took the cup noodles with him. Derek grew concerned.
"I will be alone, I don't have food at home," she replied.
"Then get it from a hotel, why eat all the junk?"
John walked in watching the talk.
"Derek?"
"Yes pa, do you mind if I ask you a favour?" he asked his father.
"What is it?" John asked. Its then he noticed the girl. "Taaliyah, hey," he greeted her. "What are you doing here at this hour?"
"I came to get some food uncle," she said and smiled.
"You live nearby?"
"Yes uncle, behind this shop, I live in the colony behind this,"
"That's close by," Taaliyah smiled and nodded meanwhile Derek kept staring at her. He could not understand why and what is that she is not liking in him.
"Pa, can we get her dinner? She is going to be alone, her grandfather is sick and the whole family is in the hospital," he said to her.
