Letter

It was late in the evening and as usual Diana would first travel by train and then bus to go home. Likealways Diana was in her deep thoughts, but this time her forehead was filled with worry. There was no arc of her step on the way to his home. Today, her steps were making their mark somewhere else.The man who always come to my house, today I am at his house, as always he is sitting in his verandah and drinking.I have never been in front of him but today I'm here standing in front of him and asking for a favour.I need your help, Diana said in such a way that she felt entitled to it. He put down her glass and looked up, his eyes looked like as if someone had forced them to stay awake.I have changed my address, if a parcel arrives, can you keep it with you for a while?

He pressed her lips and said ok.Diana said while leaving, don't tell anyone about today, nor about my request. He filled his glass without replying and began to drink. Diana's mother saw Diana leaving that man's house through the window and when Diana came home she asked why are you coming from that man's house?

While taking off her shoes she said I saw a cat so I went after her. Her mother took a long breath and said if you had followed a human instead of cats, you would have gotten married till now. Diana went to the bathroom with a towel without saying a word in her defence . Everyone was having dinner at the dining table then out of blue Diana's brother Kevin asked his father to buy a new car. Her father replied, we already have a car why wasting money on new car. kevin put his spoon on table with anger and said that minnie truck is junk not a car, you know how much we all siblings suffer in going to office and returning?

All you care of is your garage and farm have you ever think about your kids and their problems!!?

His mother shouted at him and said at "Eat dinner without talking" . His father stood up and went to his room, mother went to his father to persuade him.

After my brother got up from the table, only me and him were left. I asked him the strangest thing in order to break the silence , what's your first name?

he answered while eating, 'Evans'.

Then he got up from the table and went back to his house. I took a long breath and lay down on the ground.

I caught the bus to office like every morning. Diana was working on her computer then she sighed and stretched her arms. In lunch break she was sitting and having lunch with her friends and like always they were discussing about some topic and laughing while I'm trying to act like I'm understanding everything. A friend of mine asked that it seems you did not sleep properly last night . Everyone was waiting for some spicy reply from me and then I replied,this never ending work was the reason and everyone sigh in disappointment. Amelia elbowed and said, instead of work give this opportunity to some man someday, Diana end this topic with a smile.

Diana was on her way home from work then suddenly Evans came up behind her and said your parcel is at my home.She trailed behind evans' steps and they both were inside his house for the first time, two people who used to live in different world are now standing in same world . They were both in the kitchen of, Evans open his drawer and give a letter to

Diana . She sat on sofa and opened a bank's letter. Diana took a look at the letter and gave it back to Evans, he put it inside that drawer and say for how long you are going to keep it away from your family and why are you paying off someone else loan?

Trying to hold back her tears, she said I had taken a loan for my boyfriend's business but the business didn't work and he flew away from the country and now he's even ignoring my calls.

He savagely smiled and said how come someone can be this stupid?

She looked at him angrily, As she was leaving, Evans said to her, "I know some people who can help you with this." Diana replied him in angry tone I can handle it and she left. Then Evans picked up the glass and pour alcohol in it and sat on sofa and start drinking.
