I opened the box and gave him the smartphone. He swiped on it which made a beep sound.
"See this is how you unlock the phone.", he closed the screen and opened again and swiped it.
The screen changed and it had tulip flowers' photo which was looking very beautiful.
"Wow the screen and the flowers are beautiful.", I said.
"It is not screen, it is display. Now concentrate.", he said.
Why can't I just shut my mouth when I don't know anything.
"Now lock and unlock your phone.", he said and gave it to me.
I did so. But after I unlocked the phone, something got pressed by itself and I was able to see my face.
Guess it is camera.
"You pressed the shortcut of Camera.", he said irritatingly.
"Can we take a selfie with this?", I asked him excitingly.
I was always fascinated to take photographs and selfies when I used to see Annie doing so.
"Yeah. But we will do that later.", Luiz said dismissingly.
"Please. I want to take now itself.", I said.
"Okay come here.", saying that he pulled me closer to him.
"Look there". he said.
I looked at the phone.
"Camera is here Lara. Where are you looking.", he said in an irritating tone.
How would I know where is camera?
I and Luiz were clicked in that photo. He was looking good but I didn't. My nose looked big.
"I am not looking good in this photo. Can we take another one?", I asked him.
"Not now.", he said in a curt way.
"Okay", I felt sad.
The complete next hour went in Luiz teaching me how to use the smartphone. He scolded me so many times when I pressed different buttons and opened different applications.
"I hate this phone. It is changing screens just because I touched it like a feather. This can be so misleading.", I said as I was frustrated.
"Relax. Even I was not born with a smart phone. I learnt how to use it. So can you.", he said.
He looked tired.
"Enough for today. I want to sleep.", I said.
"You never slept this early. So, no excuses.", he said.
I saw a diary icon.
"What is this.", I asked him.
"It is an app that helps you make notes every day or whenever you want. It also gives you reminders.", he said.
"Luiz?", I wanted to ask him something.
"Yeah.", he said.
"Do you still write diary?", I asked.
"No, after Maryam's death, I involved myself in work so much that I never got time for all that. Moreover, there was nothing special that happened in my life after that. So, I never wrote anything after that."
I remembered Sarah showing internet to me that day, where I saw so much about Luiz.
"Is there an internet facility in it.?", I asked.
"Yeah. You just have to click this, enter your query here and then search for whatever you want.", he said.
I typed how to use a phone and I saw many options. I clicked on one of them and got a lot of information.
"It's wonderful! It has so much information.", I said.
"Yeah you have almost everything on internet. Make sure you search useful things.", he said.
Almost everything! Will I get to know more about my mom?
I typed her name and saw so many photos and profiles but none of them was my mom.
I got frustrated and went to the photo gallery where mine and Luiz's selfie was saved.
"What does edit mean.", I asked.
"You can enhance the pictures' quality.", he said
"How." I asked him.
Then he explained me about various edit options.
It's fun!
Luiz gave the phone back to me and started seeing his phone.
Then I clicked on something which was looking so different and made me laugh.
"Luiz, I have doggy ears.", I said.
"What?", he asked checking my ears.
"No...no... not in reality but in the phone.", I said.
"Show me.", he said and peeped into the phone.
He started laughing like hell.
What is wrong with him?
He held his tummy after some time.
"I cant.. I cant laugh anymore.", he said.
My God!
"What's the big deal? Why are you laughing so much? I am not a real doggy and I don't mind being one. I love dogs.", I said.
"You look funny. By the way, they are selfie filters", he said and started laughing again.
"I look good. Come here.", I pulled him so that I can capture him with those doggy ears.
He quickly moved away.
"No way", he said.
"Please, just once.", I said.
I managed to click him with those doggy years.
"Yayyy", I was jumping like a kid.
"Lara delete it.", he said.
"Delete? You want me to take that picture off? No way!", saying that I was about to run away but he pulled me back immediately, when my back hit his chest.
He encircled me with his arms and after a minute of struggle he managed to grab the phone back.
"No you are not deleting it.", I said.
"Take the phone from me then.", he said and raised his hand high.
How can I take it from his hand when he is this tall? Well, even I am tall, I shall do it.
I pulled his collar again, "Please Luiz. Give it back."
Our faces were dangerously close. I just lost my senses when I saw those eyes.. He kept looking at me without breaking the eye contact. His breath fanned my face.
"Done.", he said.
"What?", I asked.
He moved away. I saw a winning expression in his face.
"I deleted it", he said.
"How did you do without looking at it?", I asked.
"I am used to it.", he said with an amusing smile on his face.
He took the advantage of my situation.
"Cheater! I hate you for that!", I said.
I was really angry on him.
"Thank you.", he said and jumped onto the bed joyfully.
"Move", I said and went to the bed too.
I turned myself the other way to avoid seeing him.
"Lara.", he called me after five minutes.
I didn't reply back.
"I didn't delete the photo.", he said.
I didnt turn back nor did I reply.
I was smiling silently.
