Girl in white dress

Grandma- aah Gavin my boy!! How are you? It's been so long seeing you.

Gavin- I am fine ma . What are you saying maa I just met you yesterday near the market remember? Really you are getting old. 😂😂

Grandma- youhh brat. Who is old? You are getting old. 😏

Ooh how rude of me not inviting you inside. Come in, did you have breakfast my boy?

Gavin- actually no ma I was going to work so just thought to say hello to you.

Grandma- come on in Gavin, why are you being so formal with me my dear, sit sit I'll made hot hot breakfast just now wait OK, I will get you some.

Gavin- no need ma I will be leaving soon you know duty calls. It's really tough to be a policeman.

Grandma- ooh boy. Come here and sit, a working police man should always start a day with a healthy breakfast and you should not say no to what mumma gives you. Riiight ?

Gavin- fine maa you win as usual (smiles). Maa I'm currently working on a case you see. Yesterday a girl jumped of from the school buliding you know ! So I just heard from my colleague, they say that it is a suicide and she committed it because of her family problem.

She is just 15 ma you know it's so sad to hear such things.

Reyan comes into the hall and shouts- What? It can't be suicide, I'm telling you I saw someone.

Gavin- watch your tone boy !

Grandma- aah Ray dear your are here, meet Gavin he is your father's friend. He and your father are close friends but more like brothers.

Reyan- Good morning uncle Gavin and smiles politely.

Gavin- ooh so you are his son huh? Looks like you got your handsome looks from him. What do you say ma ?

Grandma- hahaha. Gavin dear ok now you two boys eat and go to work quickly, it's already getting late.

Gavin- Reyan can I call Ray?

Reyan- yes uncle sure. I m sorry to barging like that.

Gavin- it's fine Ray finish your breakfast quickly and I will give you a ride to school . Because it's been raining heavily these days and most of the year the weather is like this .

Reyan- that's so considerate of you. Thanks uncle.

After a while they both finishes there breakfast and waved their good byes to grandma. Gavin had an old style police jeep, they hop on to it and Gavin started driving.

Weather was pleasant and filled with smell of wet soil and light breezes.

While driving Gavin asked- so Ray what is that you are saying about the suicide of the girl?

For Reyan nothing is audible, the sound of jeep, the rain drops nothing. He is simply thinking about the dream he has been getting and secrets of that dream.

The dream is about him being a small boy, at that time when he was may be 5 years old.

(Breathing heavily, panting) haa ahh running in the park, there are swings and slides and and and I'm holding a hand.

A hand of a girl with a black silky smooth hairs, with a sweet fragrance and she wore a white dress and holding my hand and trying to show me something near the park, a small pond, in pond they saw few small fishes and the girl was so happy that she was clapping and jumping, looking into the pond, the girl smiles and her face is ...is .....is...

Gavin interrupts by patting on his shoulder- Reyan snaps out of his day dream.

Aah sorry uncle I was spaced out .

Gavin- no problem. It happens with teenagers hahaha, you know thinking about the girl you like.

Reyan- (embarrassed) no, ohh ohh no uncle it's not like that. What are you saying?

Gavin- OK so tell me about it.

Reyan- uhhh tell you about what?

Gavin- uhh youngster these days!! hahaha

You were saying about the suicide, that it's not a suicide but murder !?

Reyan- yes it's not a suicide because it's really odd.

Gavin- what is so odd about it?

Reyan- you said she committed suicide because of her family problems but if she wanted to die why would she need to do it in the place like school. Why would she want to have unnecessary attention. If she had family problems, she would like to hide it. Normally teenagers at this age will try to hide it. Because this will bring humiliation to her family.

Gavin- Hmmm. You've got a point.
