Ava reached her apartment in the cab and walked towards the elevator. She pressed the button and waited for the arrival of the elevator. She entered inside as the door opened wide. She pressed the button to her floor and looked at her watch to check the time. When the door was supposed to close and Ava noticed two legs of a woman. She raised her head and looked at her. She looked beautiful. By her appearance, Ava understood she was a very modern and high class woman. The young woman looked at the buttons in the elevator and remained quiet.
Meanwhile, the door was closed and started going in the upward direction. There was silence for a while in the elevator. Then the woman with Ava took out the mobile from her sling bag and dialed someone. She dialed again and again from her mobile. She looked disappointed as the other side of the person didn't attend her call.
" Huff …why is he not attending my call! " She mumbled with a slight disappointment and anger.
Ava heard her words as it was a small closed area. She thought the woman was calling her boyfriend. Just then the door opened wide and both of them stepped out of the elevator. Ava started walking towards her apartment whereas the woman walked to the opposite side of her apartment.
Ava pressed the calling bell and waited outside of the main door for Aunt to open the door. Still, she could see the woman standing outside and was calling someone. At the same time, her Aunt opened the door. She felt bad for her and went inside her apartment.
" Thank God! I was thinking of calling you as you are not home till now …" Aunt Garry said.
" Aunt…I am not a kid anymore. I can take care of myself. And please try to understand that the new job profile is different from the previous one, " she replied, while walking towards her bedroom.
" Okay. I will agree with you but call me if you are late…" Aunt Garry said. Then she continued, " come soon for dinner…"
She changed to her night shorts and loose T-shirt and walked to the dining hall. Aunt Garry was already sitting on the dining chair waiting for Ava. She sat on the chair and asked her Aunt, " Do you have your dinner! "
" Yeah… I had my dinner and took my medicine…" Her aunt replied.
"I think the sun rose in the west today! " Ava exclaimed with surprise.
Her aunt laughed at her words and said, " I decided to follow your instructions without fail as I realised how you are so working hard for me"
" I want you to be with me. I can do anything for you. After my mom's death, you are my mom, my well- wisher and my friend. I don't want to lose you…" Ava said, looking at her. She smiled back at her and patted her cheeks gently. Then silently she had her dinner and walked to her bedroom wishing Goodnight to her Aunt.
As soon as she went to her room, she closed the door and opened her wardrobe. She took a laminated photo and looked at it with tears.
" You are right. True Love still exists on this earth. " she said to the person in the photo. Then she walked to the windows and opened the curtains of the window. She opened the door, and looked outside the dark sky with twinkling stars.
" I am missing you so much, Dolly. I just want you to be back, " she spoke out looking at the twinkling stars. Tears from her eyes were rolling over cheeks.
