Sia was somehow stunned to hear from her brother about that young man as he was literally a lion who got on her nerves. But something was more surprising that, after HIS arrival in her life, somewhere something was changing. While she was in daze of astonishment, Rish came to his senses and composed himself to inquire more about that most awaiting moment. He was curious as well as nervous. He slightly flicked her forehead and said;
Rish: "So, Miss Sia Watson would you like to throw light over that most awaiting eventful event which made you so uneasy and glowy both." he said staring at her with keen anticipation.
Sia: "I-It's n-nothing brother. I'm absolutely fine. Who can dare to make me uneasy. It's nothing, believe me." she said with a stuttering tone.
Rish: "Yeah! Certainly I believe you. But not your stuttering words, I believe your gestures and uneasiness which states that a daring person has dared to make you uneasy. And I'm quite sure he is not an ordinary person. So, will you bother to tell me about him, girl?" he said raising his eyebrows slightly with a serious face.
Now, Sia knew that she couldnt hide anything from her brother, so taking deep breaths and closing eyes for a moment she started while her brother was amused to see her with curiosity because this scene was seen once in a blue moon.
Sia: "Yes brother, I met the owner of those eyes. He is good in looks I must say. His physique is also mediocre. His aura seems to be domineering and arrogant as if he feels like no one can outsmart him in his skills. He is quite witty but I outsmarted him. All over, he seems to be good. But I could feel some ambiguity in his tone when he was throwing his wits on me. It seemed like he knows me already. I'm so confused brother, those eyes, he...; how can it be possible? I hate men. And he is a man. All the men are same, they will just take advantage of you and then will throw you out of their lives like a fly from milk. He might be the same. I wonder why I dreamt of those eyes. It's really so illogical. I'm going insane, brother Rish." she said with strange gestures with lots of confusion in her mind which was clearly seen on her face. And while trying to praise HIM, she was trying to be calm though her heart was beating fast and she was trying her best not to look into her brother's eyes as her brother was like a lie detector machine. And she herself was so amazed, that she was speaking continuously, who was rather liked to be a composed, serene girl.
Rish, didn't know, whether to laugh or to cry. He wanted to laugh on the condition of his sister while he was also little nervous to know about HIM. This was a mystery for Sia, but somehow he knew something that Sia didn't.
Rish: "So, finally he has come. The time has come little cub." he said under his breath which was not audible to Sia. He was happy as well as sad cause this was related to his most adorable treasure, his little sister.
Sia: "Did you say something, brother?" She said.
Rish: "Umm...So you liked him? I wonder, how mesmerising he would be? As...my sister, a narcissist, herself has praised the MAN." he said with a smirk, raising his left eyebrow; stressing certain words.
Sia: "Brother!!! Don't make fun of me. I don't like anyone and especially a weirdo like him...hmphh!!" she said raising her chin up slightly with a pretending proud face though her heart was speaking something else.
Rish: "Let's see. How long, you could stick to your WORDS." He said in a teasing tone with a smile.
After a while he wished her good night and left the room. From outside he was seeing carefree whereas his mind was filled with lots of unanswered questions. He went to the balcony of his room which was at the other side from Sia's room and lit a cigarette while staring at the starry night. He couldn't find out the reason behind his unease. He was not a hard core follower of smoking, but sometimes to relieve his anxiety he used this to numb his nerves. He was happy too by no bounds that finally that moment has come, but remembering some past incidents and accidents, he didn't want to hurt his sister when he knew the thing she hates the most is approaching her somehow. He threw the butts of cigarette and went to sleep to take rest and to prepare himself to face unpredictable consequences in their lives. He wanted to discuss this with their parents but it has been so late almost 1 A.M. So, he postponed the idea to discuss the same to their parents in absence of Sia.
On the other side, after lying in the bed, Sia too was unable to sleep. She was tossing around the bed and many thoughts were running in her mind like in marathon. She was so confused now. She was damn surprised about her dream and now she witnessed that MAN in reality. She was wondering what mystery it might be, which made her life so confusing. She knew that her brother and parents were hiding something from her, but she never forced them to tell her as she respected them as they were the ones who loved her infinitely and she believed no one could love her more than them. Almost after two hours finally, she went into deep dreamless slumber.
