Alisha POV:

After leaving the restaurant, Mom was way too quiet for the whole ride. I dont know what made mom so tense, all I want to spend some quality time with mom. After Dad's death, we hardly came out to enjoy ourselves. Most of the time we immersed ourselves in professional life to escape loneliness. But, now after a long period, we came out for dinner. And I dont want to leave with any unpleasant memories. As I turned towards the window I saw an ice cream parlor on the way. And its the only thing that will lift our sour mood. I smiled at this thought and turned toward Mom Mom can we have an ice cream please . Dear isnt it too late for us to have sweet besides, its cold weather too . No, Mom its the only thing that I will eat at anytime. Besides, you promised me a treat. Remember?. She laughed at me as I made puppy eyes at her . Fine lets have some ice cream then. She agreed easily which made smiled at her goofily.
