So I was headed towards the address Jerry gave. The scene here at night wasn"t quite different from what I had seen before. Except this time the vivid lighting was a new addition which if seen from distance, seemed like it changed the looks of the city. For better or worse. Most of the people here isn"t quite capable of speaking English. I had to limit myself time to time in order to stay friendly with the locals.

Life is but a set of binary choices. Either you make the choice or not is itself an approval that you have made your bed. Looking at the beautiful and reflective cityscape from the pane of the window I felt like that twelve years old me. But the feeling didn"t stay for long. There was a little girl with her Dad walking down the street. They looked so lovely and happy which brought my mind back to those zeros and ones. I knew I had to live up to Frank"s expectations.

The address

It was an apartment right alongside the main street. Finding the room wasn"t much difficult. The guard there hesitated to let me in at first. But the name "Jerry" was good enough for me to get in. "21/B" nameplate suggested this room belonged to Barry Jefferson and Jane Jefferson. Within the next few seconds the natural reaction kicked in and I planned to leave the vicinity. But actually decided not to. If there was someone I wouldn"t mind to have a brief chat with it would probably be her, Janes. After all I WAS invited.

-(door opens)

-h.e.l.lo Maa..,- I stopped. The scene wasn"t quite what I expected to find. At first glance I only noticed what it felt like an entrance of a mini toy store. The part of the inside looked like it was full of toys and kid"s stuffs. I came back to sense as I felt a little tension at the bottom of my overcoat. As I lowered my head I found out the little girl. A girl about five or six years, was pulling.

-Heyyy! Miss! Who are you??,- Her soft and cute like voice was perfect with that round head.
