It was a tattered building, and yet, the most beautiful place that Miya had seen in a while. David kept on glancing at her, asking if she really did not want to go to the hotel. When she told him firmly that she didn’t, he sighed gloomily and drove away. He just hoped the young master wouldn’t have him fired for it.

Meanwhile, Miya picked up Ben in her arms and the two climbed up the stairs. There was an unnatural gleam in both their eyes, and once they were inside the building, the girl gasped. Ben’s eyes went wide with amazement too.

There were books all around them. Some were spread on the floor, and there were shelves up to the very edge of the ceiling. They were all filled with books and magazines, classified neatly into proper sections. Miya almost teared up at the sight. So, did Ben.

Back in their city, the public library was eighteen kilometres from where they lived. It had been almost impossible to reach the place, with Miya’s several jobs and her constant struggle to make ends meet. She had tried to find a place to live near the library too, but they were all too expensive for someone like her. Every time she could get the chance though, she would pack her bags, pick up Ben, and go read her eyes out.

That was one of the things common between the mother and son.

They were both avid readers, maniacs of their own kind. They could read for hours at end, without noticing the existence of anyone else around them – including each other. Miya, of course, kept an eye on the boy, but when the little one got immersed into books, he wouldn’t even budge to eat.

His intensity had taken even her by surprise. In the beginning, only though. She had slowly gotten used to it.

Besides the maniac reading however, there was a huge difference in their choices. While Ben picked up books like, “Understanding History” and complicated Mathematics files, she had a simpler type. She was into fiction.

Any kind, and by any author. She’d read anything, and then dream about it day and night. It was really after Ben’s interest in various complicated subjects that she was forced to go through some academic books as well. That had increased her knowledge on various things profoundly, because her child wouldn’t let her breathe till she explained to him something that he had difficulty in understanding. That had proved useful.

Knowledge was power.

Miya had learnt it by heart. She therefore worshipped libraries.

While Miya was lost in thoughts, someone cleared their throat behind them. The duo, however, were too dreamy to pay attention.

The woman behind coughed again.

When the duo didn’t come out of their reverie again, this time she said loudly, “Miss, how may I help you?” It was the sound that made Miya snap out of her dream. She immediately turned around.

And was taken by surprise.

Behind her, stood a rather tall and beautiful woman, who wore thick glasses and had her hair tied up in a bun.
