Scarlett sat silently close to Phil, who drove quietly.
“So,,, have you texted your mom yet?” Phil broke the silence.
“What?” Scarlett muttered.
“You are gonna be going home late” He said.
“I’m gonna call her”
“Isn’t texting better. You’re gonna avoid unnecessary questions that way” Phil adviced.
“Uhmm…My mum is blind” She whispered.
“Huh?…Oh,,, I’m…I’m sorry. I…didn’t know” Phil stuttered, flapping his eye lids repulsively.
“Its fine. Its not like you’ve even seen her before”
Phil sniffed.
“How is she? Does she go by, just fine?” He asked.
Scarlett looked at him, for a while and nodded.
“Yeah. Her blindness isn’t her weakness. It rather her strength”

“Wow. I’m glad to hear that”
Scarlett only smiled.
“How…did it happen?” He asked slowly.
Scarlett looked at his side profile, since his face was on the road.
Scarlett blinked and took her eyes away.
“I…don’t know. It just happened”
“Oh,,, I see….It must have been hard for you”
“No doubt” Scarlett sighed, and kept her head on the window.
“So, have you tried getting new pair of human eyes for her”
Scarlett forced a laugh.
“It’s f*cking expensive,,, we both know that”
Phil smirked lightly.
“I will get to know your mother one day”
“Sure,,, There’s no big deal” Scarlett smiled.
“You said,,, you can solve mathematical problems right?”
“I was the best in my class. You even saw that yourself, earlier today”
“Yeah… So,,, There’s this little devil,,, I mean little cutie I want you to teach arithmetics”
“Oh,,, Is she your sister?”
“Aiish. Sister, my foot. She’s a trouble maker. Just make sure she suffers tonight with maths questions,,, lot of them”
“Oo…Kay?”
“Revenge” He smirked.
“Eh?” Scarlett whispered, and Phil looked at her.
“Huh? I mean,,, R..Re… Phil paused, and took his glance away.
“Never mind” He faked a cough, and the drive continued.

USHER FAMILY’S DUPLEX**
“Umma!!!” Beverly gushed, with a really loud scream.
Her mother who was still watching her favorite telenovela, looked up at her daughter who ran to her, from the stair case.
“What’s it?” Mrs Usher asked.
Beverly jumped.
“Umma!! See!” She said, and showed Mrs Usher her phone.
“Just say it” Her mother said, and pushed the phone away lightly.
“Oppa finally answered my messages! He never answers them. This time,,, he even messaged me first!” She chuckled.
“Are you that happy?” Her mother smiled.
“Really really happy!”
“What did he say?”
“He asked if I’m free tonight”
“Huh? Why?” Mrs Usher asked, with widen opened eyes.
“I don’t know… but I told him yes, and he asked me to come over”
“Geez, Its late, Beverly”
“Its Phil…Mum! Phil! My Oppa! I need to go. Besides, He seems to have fallen in love with me already. I guess my food I prepared for him did the trick” She giggled, flaunted her hair, and ran back to her room, to change.
“This girl” Mrs Usher sighed.
“Just stay safe! Board a taxi straight to his place and call me if anything happens”
“Yes, Mum!!” Beverly replied, with a loud voice.
Mrs Usher sighed again before returning her eyes to the TV screen.

“What’s this?” Beverly asked, with a big frown on her face.

She kept her brown hand bag down on the table, and folded her arms, against her small b**bs.
“Oppa? Who is this ahjumma (old lady)?” Beverly asked, angrily, pointing at Scarlett, who was sitting close to Phil.
“What? Ah…Ah…jumma?” Scarlett stammered.
“Yes, Ahjumma!” She snarled, glaring at her.
Phil scoffed.
“Sit down” He instructed, pointing at the center red carpet.
Beverly moaned, and sat down reluctantly.
“Scarlett, please,,, teach her well”
“Sure” She nodded.
Phil smiled, and stood up.
“Beverly, you had better behave”
Beverly made a silly face.
“Beverly!”
“Oppa!”
“Did you hear what I said?”
“Yes, Oppa”
“Good. I’m gonna come back later. Let me check few documents in my room”
“Oppa, Wait”
Phil turned to her.
“What are we doing? Me and this Ahjumma?”
Scarlett eyed her.
“She’s gonna teach you and also stop calling her ahjumma. Unnie is better”
“Unnie? Who? You?” Beverly glared harder.
“Unnie my foot” She snickered.
Scarlett sighed, and shook her head.
She sat down close to Beverly on the carpet.
