"Ariana! it's time for dinner. Come outside and have dinner!" Ariana's mom brings her back to present. Her lips are still curved upward in a sweet smile. She eats her dinner with her family and starts walking on the terrace. She almost left it, since Gavin stopping playing game with her.
Ariana opens the server to see message from Gavin. She sees him already talking to the moderator and other members on the voice call. She remains speechless. Gavin is introvert type of person; he doesn't interact with unknown people that much. Ariana becomes eager to know about the conversation between them. She hastily joins the voice chat.
Ariana again remains speechless. They are taking about video games as well as Gavin is sharing his victories and experiences. All the others are listening to him patiently and requesting him to play with them. Even the moderator of the server seems interested in his gaming experience. He generally seems very quiet in the server. "What is happening here? Does Gavin spell any cast over them?", Ariana wonders as she listens their conversation.
"Ahem! Ahem! Good evening, everyone." Ariana draws everyone's attention towards her as she speaks. Boys don't imagine any girl over the voice chat that makes them speechless for a couple of minutes. " Good evening, Aaru!", Gavin speaks while breaking the silence. Everyone follows him and greets her. "Why do you become silent suddenly?", Ariana complains. Gavin speaks in mischievous voice, " It seems that everyone is captivated by your melodious voice."
"Cough! Cough!", Ariana is sipping water from her bottle. This unexpected compliment almost chokes her. It is not the first time when Gavin complimented her. She has been with him for almost a year. He has complimented her many times specially for her voice and eyes. He really loves her these two features. That is the reason, he always listens to her quietly whenever she speaks. He knows that she can melt anyone's heart with her voice and eyes.
Ariana is in complete disbelief, since she never expected him to hit on her like this in front of the everyone. " What is he trying to do?", Ariana wonders. " It seems you are the only one who is captivated by my voice. Huh? That is why you are complimenting me out of the blue", Ariana questions. " Haha! Don't you know that I am allured by your voice and eyes a long time ago.", Gavib mischievously replies. Ariana feels her cheeks turn red.
Ariana quickly changes the topic, " My device lags so much, I ended up being killed by the enemy. I think I need to buy a better phone. "Marry Me! I'll buy you the best device.", Gavin utters mischievously. "Cough! Cough!" " Is he going to choke me to death? What is he trying to do? When did he become flirtatious person. He has never shown his feelings that vividly. Ariana is left speechless. Her cheeks are now turned complete red like a tomato.
"What if I don't?", Ariana asks. " I'll take you from your home. You know well that I can do it.", Gavin immediately replies. Everyone is silently hearing their conversation and trying to figure out the relationship between two. They have known Ariana for a long time and she is the only girl as an active user here, so everyone is quite familiar with her. She never allows anyone to flirt with her, but this time she doesn't even resist it. Ariana is really a chatterbox, consequently she is also recognised by the owner along with the administrator and moderator of the server. Suddenly the Administrator also joins the voice chat. He doesn't reply but silently hears as the couple chats. It looks like everyone is watching a romantic drama.
" I think Gavin really wants to be expelled from this server. Is he possessed by some romantic ghost or something. He becomes so romantic unexpectedly.", Ariana wonders as she notices the sudden alteration in his attitude towards her. She immediately denies, " In your dreams! I'm not going to marry you ever." Gavin chuckles, "Oh really! You always ended up doing things, you don't want to do with me. I know you well, at this hour you come to the terrace to talk to me. I think I hold a special place in your heart. Isn't it?" Ariana blinks her eyes. It seems this guy has successfully kept her mouth shut.
Gavin speaks while breaking the silence, " Let's hear some songs guys. It has been ages, since I heard songs on the server. I used to listen it with Ariana. Now see! She has totally changed." Gavin teases Ariana, as he wants her to argue with him. "Huh! When did I changed? It's you who didn't listen songs with me.", as expected Ariana complains and presses her lips to make a thin line. "Fine! I'll play songs you....", Ariana is speaking, however Gavin cuts her in between, " Play? Why don't you sing a song, since you have a melodious voice." "What? Sing a song? You want me to sing a song?, Ariana is in complete shock. She is in dilemma. " Mm! just a stanza of your choice. Please!", Gavin is trying to convince. Ariana has sung songs, but never in front of Gavin. She remembers, she had to sing in a server a few weeks ago in front of a group of members. Here she goes again.
"First ask the others too. What if they got frightened with my voice", Ariana smirks, as she says. Everyone immediately agrees. Now, she has to sing, since everyone is pressurizing her to sing. Ariana plays a song in the background so she can sing with the beat of the music. Finally, she starts singing. She is not nervous at all. Because of her job as a teacher. She has become much confident than before. As soon as she finishes her singing. Nobody utters a single word. Everything is serene even she can hear her heartbeat. " I know you guys would not like my voice. I didn't think, it would be that bad that you guys have become dumb.", Ariana speaks while breaking the silence.
Indeed, she has sung the song very well far more better than their imagination. They all are completely amazed by her singing. Everyone starts praising her. Ariana can't believe on what she is hearing. " I have already told you that you have a sweet voice. See now! Everyone is captivated by it.", Gavin appreciates her. After hearing his words. Ariana's lips curves upward. She doesn't say anything, but starts blushing. It has been one hour since she has come to the terrace. Ergo, she says bye to everyone and goes smiling in her room.
" Please post your reviews if you like my reading. I would be very appreciable for me."
