I was confused.

"We have to take the S-16 bus that comes to this stop." Mike said.

We boarded the S-16 it was already around 5:30 pm. I was gazing through the window, I could see Mike's stop approaching, but he din't get down.

"You're stop has already come." I reminded him.

"I know" he replied and plugged his earphones and closed his eyes with his arm resting on his forehead.

The bus started to move.

"Are you crazy? Why did you leave your stop" I asked him punching his shoulder.

"First you need to go home safely, I promised your dad!" he said with his eyes still closed and his arm fixed in same position.

I was quiet for some time. Does he really care for me? No he must be doing because my father must have reminded him.

Due to traffic we reached my stop around 6. 30 pm. It was getting dark. I was walking and Mike was following me behind.

We din't talk too much but just continued walking. There I could see some gangsters smoking and drinking.

"Hey Miss! Want some help."

one of the men with a liquor bottle in his hand said.

I just ignored and continued to walk fast.

"Don't you feel bored miss, we'll entertain you"

said the other men walking towards me with unsteady steps.

I tried to avoid them; suddenly my wrist got encircled by someone, it was Mike.

"What do you want?"

he asked them.

"Oh small boy! You claim yourself as a hero?" they teased him.

He was getting tensed and was in the verge of fighting. I controlled Mike.
But one of the men suddenly pulled my arm hard,

It's enough!

I gave a tight punch on his face; tight enough to make his nose bleed.

The other men stood there in shock so do Mike with his mouth wide open.

The other men started approaching me. I fought with them with my karate style; Mike was helping me to get over them. He too was fighting. Then at last the men were on the ground groaning in pain unable to move their limbs. I blew my front hair falling on my forehead just like a badass.

"Let's go!" I said Mike dusting my hands.

"You fight, you din't tell me you know karate?" he asked me in shock.

"You din't ask me!" I replied with a smirk.

"Any prizes in karate?" he asked me.

"Nothing big except a black belt" I said.

He raised his eyebrows in surprise.

I could not control my laughter on seeing his reaction at that time!

We reached home. I could see my dad waiting outside. He smiled at me and Mike.

"Thank you for bringing my daughter safely" he said.

"You have such a brave girl, she can manage on her own" Mike replied looking at me.

"Come home and have a cup of tea" my father invited him.

"Not today Sir, but certainly on someday" he replied humbly.

My father then gave him some money for his next bus to home but he just returned it and left.

"Such a good boy!" my father said

I just nodded. "He dropped you in home rather than leaving you alone" he continued.

My eyes widened.

"So you din't ask him to leave me in home?" I asked him.

"No! I din't! I just asked him to help you board the right bus, that's all" he said.

I was getting confused, then what made him to leave me in my home by himself? Why did he lie to me that it was my father who said it? Questions started to whorl in my mind.

Does he really care for me?

I was thinking the same and was climbing up to my room. I changed my uniform.

***

"Don't believe in him he may change at any time"

started the evil one who was sitting on my shoulder.

"He is not a bad guy I think so!"

said the good one.

"Oh guys! You came?"

I said and was chatting with them while placing my uniform in the laundry basket.

"Guys I wanted to name you both.", I started.
"It's weird to call you both as good and evil" I added.

They both blinked.

"Not needed!" The evil one said.

"I always wanted to have a name" spoke the good one.

I sat down on my table and was thinking of two beautiful names,

"Ah ha! Gaby and Lucy, does it sound good?" I asked.

"I like it"
the good one agreed.

"That name sucks! I like the name Lucy so cool!"
said the other.

" I can't understand Mike! He is so weird, he irritates me makes me angry and then now helping me, I am confused"
I said and fell thud on the bed.

"Don't believe him, he is so wicked, you won't realize it now!" Lucy warned.

"No I don't think so, why can't you ask him straight?" suggested Gaby.

"What if he had a crush on you" she added.

"What?"

Lucy and I freaked out at the same time.

"Is there any problem there Mina?" asked my mother from the kitchen.

"Nothing mom" I replied.

"There is no chance for that" I said firmly.

"Who knows what if it is your fate."

Gaby said wiggling both her eyebrows at me teasingly.

"Now shut up and go away, you guys confuse me a lot."
I replied quick.

Later that night I cannot sleep. My mind kept thinking about the same thing. My first aim was to ask him why he helped me yesterday, I decided and forced to sleep.
