Short stories

Part 1 : The old town

In a town, a girl named Shaerly lived with her grandpa. It's not like she is orphan and had to live with him but it's her grandpa who have been abandoned there. 

Old man spend his whole life for his only son who one day moved to the New city with a promise
 "Next time I'll take you with me, wait for me".  
Son come and go but for the old man his Next time never came.

he is still waiting.  

Whenever his son visit the old man, he complaints about how 

"life is busy and living is hard". 

Once in summer holidays when his son came with his 5 year old daughter. Old man couldn't resist to embrace the small life. He smiled after very long time. 

Old man was happy to see that his son is now having a family and finally he can go live with him. Old man started packing his stuff, he already asked around to rent out his house. 
He was all set to goodbye the old town.
But this time also his son disappointed him "Dad, I can't take you with me. I can't handle another burden now, maybe next time" 
The old man gave up on him, his only son. 
 
"Son I don't have much time left to wait"

She listened all stories of this old man from grandpa whose wife died, who brought up his only son with love ignoring own comfort and left alone in this old town.

Shaeryl is now old enough to understand how alone is her grandpa and how cruel is her father. 

 So, she decided to stay with her grandpa because the old man of the old town in the stories is no one but her grandpa. When shaerly's parents asked her to come with them she resisted to left the old embrace of her grandpa and said 
"how can we left a person thrice alone".

"Expect the worst,do the best,have the most" Do what you really want to do,but keep in mind that it is not possible for all time.

Then comes the "Task Tango" – a slick move where you ...
