As soon as the girl sat down on her seat, Joya wittingly took the seat next to her, and touched his arm to hers nonchalantly. The girl pursed her lips, trying to cool down. She did not want the queen or her mother to know, in what circumstances they had met before. So she wanted to look exceptionally peaceful. Maya was now checking on the boy throat yet again, looking at it carefully with a lighting instrument.
"Hmm... yet again. I see no issue except for the motivation to speak. Why don't you try to speak Joya?" Maya looked at the boy in much anguish.
Joya simply shrugged his shoulders looking at his aunt.
"At least try some sounds, if not complete words. Look we all want to hear you speak. Don't you ever feel the need to speak? See how happy your parents and brothers would be to hear your voice. Do it for them." The lady spoke holding the boy's hands affectionately, trying to make him elucidate.
The boy sighed as he knew he would never be able to overcome this barrier. He felt like he had a gigantic rock in his throat, which never allows him to speak. He simply sighed and nodded his head in disapproval and looked at Maya with devoted eyes.
Maya sighed and looked at Delilah shaking her head. "He needs a really good motivation. The more his age increases, the more difficult it is getting for him to overcome this hesitation." The lady then sat close to Delilah discussing with her more about Joya's voice. In the meanwhile, Joya was once again touching the girl with his arm. Norah was trying to shift away from the boy little by little, but the more she shifted the more he touched her and teased her.
As both the ladies were busy discussing, Jona smirked looking at the shy girl who was uncomprehendingly looking ahead. He quickly planted his hand on her thigh, and held her hand tightly. The girl pursed her lips feeling extremely timid yet again. She was now trying hard to struggle to get her hand free from under the table, while trying got keep a straight face. The more she tried, the more tightly the boy held her hand. He was constantly looking at her beautiful blushing face, while the girl took deep breaths in nervousness.
Finally, she turned to look at him and their eyes once again met. The boy was yet stunned after looking in her deep gray eyes, which spoke several words to him. She was constantly trying to free her hand, when the boy finally let go off it, yet smiling at her. The girl took a deep breath in relief but yet again gasped in shock. The man had left her hand only to plant her hand on her arm. He was slowly caressing his fingers on her soft skin and the girl took deep breaths yet again.
She once again turned to look in his eyes, as if requesting him to stop. The boy smirked at her innocent face as if telling her that he will not stop teasing her, no matter what. Soon everybody was now enjoying the lavish meal, while the girl was yet struggling to eat with her left hand. The boy had tightly clutched her right hand sneakily, with his own left hand.
