The next morning my eyes opened up wide after a realization hit my stupid head!
IT WAS DAN'S BIRTHDAY!
I have to go to the Red Dragon academy to meet him.
I hurried. Took a bath. Dressed up suitably and rushed to eat the breakfast.
Aiden was already eating his.
He saw me stuffing everything in my mouth with a speed of a bullet. Okay maybe that was exaggeration to its extreme.
"Is there a bull running lose in our home? Oh wait, that is you. Then, why are you rushing like that? Did someone wave the red cloth at you?"
"Lame, Aiden!
It is Dan's birthday. I have to go to meet him.
Oh, you don't know who Dan is.
He is my little brother."
"Oh, okay. Want me to drop you off?" Aiden asked.
My god! Is Aiden Smith asking me to drop me off and that too without me pleading or us fighting???
"I'll be thankful, Aiden". I replied cautiously. I don't want anything to trigger this bipolar man right now.
We sat in his car and he took me to a gift shop to buy something for him.
What should I buy?
I didn't have time to think.
"Get him this cool fighter sword. This watch which has well equipped location tracking and calling and network services. Latest edition. He will love it and its gonna help him alot."
"I like the watch but Wouldn't sword be dangerous for him?"
"Isn't he at the famous Red Dragon Academy? If I was there trust me I would die for that."
"Okay. If you say so. I guess I'll buy them." and I went to the billing section and asked them the amount."
They looked at Aiden and then replied.
"Oh ma'am don't humiliate us by asking this. It's completely free for you. We can't charge you."
"I guess you guys are confusing me with someone else.
Why would it be free for me?" I asked way too confused. I mean I wasn't famous or something?
"Ma'am you are too down-to-earth.
But we can't take anything from Sir."
SIR!!??
SIR WHO?
AIDEN??
WHO THE FUCK IS HE?? WHO THE HELL AM I LIVING WITH?
My thoughts screaming in my head. I guess they were so loud that Aiden could hear them.
"Take this money. We can't take it for free. Thankyou." He gave his money and took my hand towards his car.
I sat in and looked at him, sitting in the driver's seat.
"Would you mind explaining? Are they confusing you with someone?
I mean not to be rude or something but I never knew you were famous or something.
What do you do?"
"Nothing much. You were right. They confused me for someone else." he said as he started the car.
"Yeah, maybe". I said but I was unsure.
They seemed to know him like he was their family member.
I don't know anything about this guy.
Why is he so secretive or it's me who never properly asks.
The rest of the road was quiet. I was pushing myself in my head to ask something about him, to make a conversation but I just couldn't.
He was so silent. I didn't know what to ask, how to begin. Should I even or am I being too nosy?
So I just stayed shut.
After an hour or so which felt like eternity, we reached The Red Dragon Academy.
We entered in and I looked for someone with whom I could ask for Dan.
My eyes sparkled when I looked around to see the entire academy decorated. Happy birthday Dan written up on banners. People busy setting up food and decorations and stuff.
I was looking around the beautiful arrangement when I heard the voice I have been yearning to hear from a very long time.
"SISTER!!!!"
I turned back to see my little one who had grown a little more running towards me.
I took him into an embrace and my eyes started to fill up.
I missed him.
I was happy to see he had found his family. They were treating him right. He was happy.
"You are late! But I thought you wouldn't even come"
"How would I not come to meet my favourite person on his birthday?" I said.
"Thankyou so much,sister."
"Meet Aiden, Dan! He is my flatmate. He dropped me here to meet you."
