"For Our little friendship sake's Jia, believe me for once." why this girl never believes me. Do i look like a liar to her. God save me from these girls. Feng thought to himself.
"Okay okay piggy bank. But if later we finds that he's not single, then I'm showing you what friendship we have in hell." Jia said as if warning him with death.
"That's not gonna happen. Cause I'm saying the truth. Swear to God." Feng said
"You better do man.". Jia really was so serious about Risa and Daniel this time. She doesn't want her friend to feel the same heartbreak that she has felt these all time. She's very adamant of make Risa's love successful. She would do anything to give Risa a happy love life, Now when Risa is really so in love with Daniel.
Soon Samuel also join them and they got along well. Samuel said he would be staying with one of his friend who is now living in city Z , and He's gonna pick him up at airport. Everyone agrees with him .
.
.
Time flew by and they soon landed On City full of memories, heartbreak, and most importantly love, City Z. After getting out of the airport, It finally hit Jia that she's really in City Z now. She looked at the City sky and as if the nature is welcoming her presence, her eyelids drop to darken her vision and she took in the air. oh God how much she missed this land. The night air refreshed her whole body. She just wanted to get blown by it. if not that she wants to stop the city, she just wants to stay like that without moving. But while she was immerse in her feelings, She was taken out of her thoughts when a familiar voice was heard. She opened her eyes slowly and saw the person to whom the voice belongs.
"Max!..... ..... ..... " Jia said something more, like she was whispering, no one could hear her. But the man called Max got what she said cause he knows her better than anyone else. After Risa, Max has been the closest to Jia. He can just read her with one glance at her. And after all these years nothing has changed at all.
"Long time no see." Max said as he approached them and stood infront of them.
"So.. You knew about this plan of Feng ?" Jia asked looking suspiciously at Max. These two boy seemed to be the founder of this plan. Yeah.... this all makes sense now. They planned it and dragged us here. Just to make things worse for me.
"Let's talk in the car." Max said as he takes the luggage and bags Jia was holding.
"I'm alerting you.. Don't start with them. I'm telling you they're not gonna stop once you start it." Feng said as he took Risa's bags.
"Thanks for that notice man." Max said as they both started walking towards the area where the car is parked.
"Godd... They really did this with us." Jia said to Risa as they are walking behind them, having a little distance between them.
"Unbelievable right ! .. I know" Risa said sighing. As she too couldn't believe the scene .
After everyone is inside the car they drove off. Feng was the first one to open his mouth.
"Your apartment is all set. You guys just need to unpack your bags you've brought with yourself."
" Well.. we're very thankfull of how considerate you are for getting us here and plus an apartment too." Risa said dramatically. sarcasm in her words can be heard. Everything was happening without there permissions. They don't know how to react to these boy's acts.
Jia was silent the whole ride to appartment. She was closing her eyes but she could feel the city light that are passing by the car. After 30 minutes of drive, they arrived infront of a large gate. That's when Jia opened her eyes and saw the security guard opening the gate. saying thanks to the guard Max pulled the car inside the large are that is beautifully designed and decorated. one can say people here are rich by just looking at the entrance. The inside was really grand.
Getting out of the car. Max handed Jia her bags, while Risa and Feng were just butchering about stuffs like they are fighting for remote. Max said he won't be going inside as everything is settled beforehand and he wants to let the girls rest after the tiring day. he gave Jia the card to apartment. Jia was really not paying attention to him. looking at building infront of her Jia was just as silent as she was before. it was hard to take in all at once.
Max pat on Jia shoulder to get her attention.
"Oh..yeah... Thank you !" Jia reply so fast as she didn't know what to say.
Max looked at Jia's face for a second and shook his head.
"It's getting late. You guys should eat something and go to bed." Max said cause they didn't had dinner on the way....
" Okay.." Was Jia's response.
" There's everything in the kitchen . And if you need anything then... you just call me or Feng. Okay ! "
" Don't worry, we can do our things. We are not child anymore, are we ? "
" Let's talk another time. Sleep tight ." Max said and then realised what he said. It's just a habit of his with Jia. Unsure of what to say or not by seeing Jia's expression to his last line.
" Well. I'm gonna sleep the tightest. " Jia said laughing cause, Max said the thing he used to say when they were in university. Hearing that at first Jia was a bit taken aback cause she don't know how to react to that. So much time has passed for her to hear that again and so many things have happened in that time. Years ago,That time Jia was not in her best state and she couldn't able to get sleep. The reason behind everything was well known by Max. So to assure Jia, and to make her feel better he used to say that. But hearing it after so many years made Jia question herself. Does she still needs the sleep tight message from him. just thinking about it made her think about many more questions she is afraid to get an answer. She brushed her thoughts off, to make the tension formed between them go away with her NOT so funny words, She said that. It felt like he was just scared of leaving his child alone. Indeed Jia felt the safest around Max.
Then she went near Risa to help her with bags.
"You guys should get going then." She said looking at both Feng and Max.
"Oh.. yup.. You should go inside first." Feng said.
"Oh please... we were living alone in France." Risa said rolling her eyes. They are being treated like a kid here.
"Your apartment passcode is *XXXXX*. Change it if you want to and put your finger print there." Feng said not forgetting the main thing.
"Okay, Thanx. let's bid here then." Jia said and the boys nod there head. bidding bye they went inside the building and to their apartment. Putting the passcode they enter there apartment which was comfy, cozy but at the same time kind of big for them. Everything looks luxurious there and it was well decorated.
