Continued from the previous part...
He started laughing like a maniac, I leave his hands and start looking at him shockingly and after few minutes of his laughing
Siya: Hey are you okay?
Erik: (stop laughing) yeah. Your scary and nervous face looking so funny so, I laughed.
Siya: (try sounding serious) Your are so mean, my fear mean happiness to you?
Erik: (he become serious completely, nervous too) What. No it just like...
Siya: (cutting off) I was kidding.
I wink at him with this and start laughing. He two start laughing with me. After this we blew of the the candle, sit comfortably on the couch still smiling. There is a comfortable silence between us, in this moment time I start looking at his house more clearly and I found it more cozy and comfortable. As I was observing the house I can hear a kitten voice meowing at some distant but its coming from some height. I look at him with questioning eyes, whether he can hear it the same and he nodded his head in yes.
After this we both start following the voice and its coming from the terrace. We climbed up the stairs, he goes first and then I follow him. At terrace we start looking for the kitten, it took us 15 minutes but finally we found her in a small hole. Erik tried to put his stand inside the hole but she scooted more deep in the hole, she is hell scared. It took lot of hit and trial for us, but finally Erik managed to take her out and we bring her down. Here, he not only took care of her but also fed her milk and I just observe his this behavior and I come to know one thing he may become stone hearted and rude from the outside but he dose have caring and kind hearted from inside.
Though I must say the kitten is cute, he leave her to enjoy and get comfortable. He looks at me and initiated the conversation
Erik: Hey you want to eat something?
Siya: Umm yeah
Erik: I am making noodles
Siya: Okay
He start cooking, I must say he is good at cooking not like me who enjoys eating more than cooking. I don't like getting in kitchen because it make you dirty and sweaty. Plus I think eating food is quite fun and interesting. However, looking at him now cutting vegetables expertly, putting sausages and boiling the noodles in the water and after some minutes it's ready to eat and this is one of my favorite thing to do this to eat the food.
He brought noodles in two plates, he set plates on the table. He sit on the floor and pick up his plate and start eating. As I see him sitting on the floor, eating the food, I stood up too from couch and we both sit on the floor continued eating the food. Though first he look at me with narrowed eyes, but he later choose to ignore it and we just ate our noodles.
After we finish eating, we spend time with our little kitten for half an hour may be because after sometime he said that his mother would be coming soon and if she found the kitten here then an unnecessary would be created. So, we go up with her and leave her on the terrace. We sit there for sometime and I thought this would be the best time to leave from there because of two reasons. Firstly, I don't want to meet his mother not now, may be some other day and secondly, today is my paternal aunt birthday so, I have to arrange the house party.
As we both enjoying the weather, the sunset with comfortable silence. I break the silence by initiating the conversation.
Siya: I should leave now, I have some plans with my family at home.
Erik: Are you sure, you can wait here for sometime more and meet my mom. Then you can leave.
Siya: No. I think I am good to go and I would meet Aunt another time positively.
Erik: Okay
With this I booked my cab and we go down. I picked my bag and we left the house. Once the cab come we said our byes to each other as I am about to open the door of the cab to sit in he hold my hand and pulled me towards him, just hugged me tight a bit. As usual I don't hugged him back and I am still feeling uncomfortable but I am adjusted to it now. Since its been long time he is doing this so, I think I am getting adjusted to it and may be after some time I won't be feeling uncomfortable that much.
After sometime he released me and I see his eyes a bit hurt it shows, may be it because I don't hug him back but I ignore it and sit in the cab, the cab moves to my final destination that is home. While the cab is moving my mind do a marathon of thoughts of the things that happen today and especially about him.
Siya: (He seems different today, though initially his entry in the canteen scared me a bit but for the first time spending whole day with doesn't feel like a burden or suffocation like I have always felt. He seems to be more calm and compose, I felt more comfortable with him today and I am assuming this that may be his past incident make him stone, rude and aggressive but from inside he is a soft person like a child. I just love what happened today in college and as well in the house).
Soon, I reach home and this marathon of thought ended too. After getting fresh I pick 1k from my saving purse ( o yeah! I forgot to mention since I was 8 years old, I started saving money which I got from my parents, family or relatives in the form of gifts or pocket money. So, that I could give happiness to others by giving them gifts or organizing small parties. This I learned from my father only, if we fulfill financial need of our loved one, giving them gifts or small parties.. we can give them happiness through this. I have one personal reason to for organizing such parties that I want to see all of them together spending some time). I go to in everyone's room and asked them what they want to eat, as usual initially they throw tantrums saying "they want to eat anything or I should not waste money" but in the end they told me their selected dish.
I picked my cycle and leave the house. Here I go to closest restaurant and give them my order and asked them to pack plus in surprise gift I ordered cake too. They told me to wait for an hour, so I decided to go to near by library and see some books for my next time purchasing. After one hour I reach back to restaurant to pick my order and taking all the food packets I kept them on my cycle bucket and reach back home in 15 minutes. I park the cycle in the house parking, shout all of them to come to dining room.
After everyone reached, they pick up their food respectively and go to their respective eating places. As I look the scene unfolding in from of eyes. I took a big sigh, pick up my own food and go to my room and I just spoke to myself "better luck next time buddy, may be one day they will come together without fights and insults" then I dig into my food. After finishing my food I go to kitchen and wash my plate and come to my room again, start working on assignments. Around midnight I called it a night.
