"What are you doing in my room?" Adrian asked his mother while coming out of the bathroom.

She smiled at him and said, " Just curious to know about your date with Emily"

" Mom….You are crazy." He said, drying his wet hair with a towel.

" Come on...Tell me, how was your date?" She asked him.

" Good," he said.

" What! Only good! " she asked him with disappointment.

" I thought it was your first date and expected something romantic. I thought you would spend the whole night with Emily but you return home at night. I think you didn't get the good charms from your father," she added.

" Please try to understand, it's difficult to forget first love. But I am trying my best to erase her memories in my heart. I need some time, " he said.

" It's been six years, Ardian. It's too much for me to see you like this. I don't know when you will understand my pain. " his mother stood up from the chair to leave his room.

He held her mother's wrist and stopped her. She apologized for hurting her and made her sit on the chair.

" I like Emily. I am trying to become close with her. I am not a robot to delete the name in memory and enter another name. Please...mom. If you don't understand me then no one can understand me on this earth. " He pleaded, sitting at her feet.

She ruffled his hair gently looking at him.

" Don't irritate me. You know that I don't like ruffling my hair…" he said as if his mood changes suddenly.

She laughed at him and he too laughed looking at his mom.

" Okay...tell me about your first date experience with dad?" He asked his mother.

" It was one of the best moments of my life…" she sighed.

" Please...tell me. You never shared with me" he asked her mother.

"Your father worked in the Pathology department in the same hospital where I used to work. We used to be very close with each other. We didn't realize when we fell in love with each other. On Sunday, your father asked me for dinner. I thought it was usually dinner with all our colleagues. But when I reached the place, there was a path of rose flowers which led to a dining table where your father kneeled on the floor holding a gold ring. I was so surprised to see him like that. On that day, he proposed his love for me. I was so overwhelmed to know his feelings for me. There was not one day he made me feel his love for me till he was alive. " she said and the tears brimmed from her eyes.

" I am so unlucky to miss your father's love…" she cried.

" Your son is there for you to love you. Please don't think like that. " he hugged his mother.

...

Suddenly, he remembered Emily's gift for him. 

" Mom….we are shifting to a new house, tomorrow. " Ardian said to his mother.

" New house!" She asked him,  knitting her eyebrows.

" Today, Emily gifted me a new house on my success," he said.

" Wow...At least my daughter-in-law has a romantic sense in her mind," his mother said.

" Mom...please…" He whined.

" At Least you gave her a rose or bouquet?" She questioned him.

" Sorry, I forgot about it…" he said with embarrassment.

" You are such a stupid…" She punched his arm.

" Ouch.." she hissed as her palms hurt.

" You know how hard my muscles are ….then why are we meddling with it!!" He asked.

" If you spend more hours in the gym then only your muscles will be strong and your working of the brain will decrease. " she teased.

" Mom….stop. I forgot to tell you one funny incident, " he said.

" What? Emily kissed you and you stayed quiet? " His mother teased.

"Enough of teasing me. First, listen. " He said.

" Yeah….tell me…" she obeyed as she noticed his son's irritating look.

" We met a small boy in the restaurant. He was so cute and talkative. " He informed his mother. He narrated the conversation between them and how he met the little boy. 

" That's why I am asking you to get married, then our home will be filled with happiness." His mother advised.

" Don't start it again. We already decided about our marriage date. It will happen after six months. " He informed his mother.

" Okay. Sleep now. Good night" saying she walked out of his room.

As soon as his mother left the room, he laid on his bed and remembered the memories of their parent's first date. He switched off the table lamp and closed his eyes.

...

***(Adrian Reminiscing his PAST)

" Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked from the ground floor, standing in the heavy rain.

" No…." Kathie nodded her head through the window.

His face was disappointed with the answer but looked at her with pleading eyes.
