At
five past five, in the wee hours of the dawn, the bus came to a halt before a
big gate. I looked at my fifteen-year-old. Her chubby face, when
she was a child, flashed my mind. It was the same blank grumpy look in her
eyes this morning too. My heart squeezed as I dropped her to her hostel,
leaving her to be all by herself.
Before the
sinking feeling overpowered me, I had to find my way out.
Hours
later, as I said, “Veg Margherita, extra-cheese,” I looked around
proudly. That was my first ever visit to Dominos.
