”O!” I was surprised when soer
”Eros!” I felt happy to see hiain I waited almost half an hour here on the rooftop
”O!” he held the burger nearer, I stood up froer that he offered
”Ha? What is this for?” I wondered
”Eat it if you’re hungry or throw it if you don't like it” He said while he sat on the floor He leaned his back on the wall and placed his elbows on his knees while he opened the packaging of his burger
I sat beside him ”Throw it? Waa! That's bad! There are plenty of peopleout there who’s suffering froer”
”So what,if there are plenty of people who are hungry? Will they become full if you don’t eat that? Tss”
”Umm… No, they wouldn’t become full but at the very least we shouldn’t waste the food that is denied to them We have the chance to eat while they don't; that's e should not waste e have”
”I'm sure if you didn’t die, you would becoive ser” He said while biting into his burger
I unwrapped the packaging of er andsmiled ”Thank you for the food Eros”
Silence
”Oh Eros! How is it? Did he give you a second chance?”
He nodded, his face devoid of any reaction My eyes ide, I touched ed him
”Ahh! I'm so happy Eros!”
”Hey! What the heck! My burger al me! You pervert!” He pushed me
”Eros! I' when he pushed er into my mouth
”It's not sure yet He said it depends if I don't get grades below ninety-five percent in all upco quizzes and exams”
”Oh? So what's the problem?”
”Isn't it obvious? Do you think he agreed with your conditions because I begged? He only agreed because he’s one hundred percent sure that I can't ood for nothing repeater”
”Then prove hi”
”Ha! Why prove hiht What they all say aboutI don't have hope in anything”
”So, are you happy with that?”
”What?”
”That they think that you're a good for nothing?”
”It's okay”
WAPAK
”Ouch! Why did you slap el that slaps people? Are you really sure you're an angel? Maybe you're an alien or a witch?”
”Hmp! I questioned you if you’re happy, and you answered me ‘it’s okay’ but I think it doesn’t answer my question”
”What should I have answered?” He asked, piqued while biting into his burger
”If you're asked if you’re happy or not, you should answer ‘you're happy’ or ‘you’re sad’”
”What if it’s none of the two?”
”That’s impossible!”
”There’s really none of the two! You’re really annoying!”
”Do you ?”
”Most probably It’s like I’m not bothered”
”So you’re sad!”
”What?”
”If you feel anything, then you’re not happy And if you’re not happy, then you’re sad!”
“You’re annoying! Whatever”
