Zenaida took out her phone from her trouser pocket and logged in to the school forum. As Ava said, there were news about her and Carl in there with the headline ' Carl carried Zenaida in a princess carry'
She read the comments below before she clicked on the video to watch it. There were various comments under the video.
'Who is Zenaida?'
'What is the relationship between Carl and Zenaida?'
'Carl must be really caring about Zenaida since he took the initiative to carry her in this way. '
'The Carl who I know, would never do this kind of thing ever. I can't believe my eyes. I'm really curious about this girl. What is her speciality that Carl who is unbothered about every other people's lives, to interrupt in her life in this way?'
'They must be so close with each other.'
After reading few comments, Zenaida clicked on the video to watch it.
She saw the way how Carl caught her between his arms when she was going to fall down and how he bent down and took her in to his arms to carry her to the Roy's car.
Did Carl catch her right before she fell on the ground?
He has even carried her in his arms to here all alone by himself.
Because of this video,Zenaida reminded of the interaction between her and Carl in the car awhile ago. How she stared at Carl's eyes and how Carl stared at her eyes back. They have never been this much close to each other before and Zenaida was truly taken aback by the distance between them.
At that time, her heart rate was going up a little by little because of the closeness between them and the Carl's direct staring at her eyes.
With these thoughts, Zenaida felt that her heart rate was increasing again as when Carl was close to her.
"So, Carl is really caring about me" Zenaida murmured to herself in a small voice.
Eventhough Zenaida murmured to herself, Ava still heard her and she said to Zenaida "Yeah. That is for sure."
Zenaida looked at Ava with a very bright smile on her face and said "Finally!!"
"Ava, finally, it seems that he has opened his heart for me a bit." Zenaida said with a very happy voice.
Ava looked at Zenaida and she noticed that the tears are welling up in the Zenaida's eyes.
Is she that much happy enough to go to the extent of crying because Carl has opened his heart for her even a little bit amount and cares about her?
Zensida is really adorable.
Ava looked at Zenaida with a loving gaze.
"Why am I crying in a happy situation like this? I must be crazy. I think that I have regained my energy back by this discovery." Zenaida said while wiping away the tears which was welled up in her eyes.
"May be you are feeling fine now, but you can't go back there in this condition. It is still so sunny in the outside. So, why don't we head back home in a while after taking the permission from mr. Harry. " Ava said.
Zenaida doesn't seem to like this idea that much and after hesitating for few seconds, she said to Ava in a murmuring voice "Carl is here. So, I don't want to miss this chance to be around him easily. This is such a rare chance to be around him other than at the school. "
Ava was helpless by the Zenaida's words. She could understand Zenaida's situation but if she was to go back there to the beach, there is a possibility for her to faint again. So, this couldn't be keep going in this way.
When Ava was going to show her resistance against Zenaida, the car door in the Zenaida's side was opened by someone.
The person who opened the door, bended down to take a look at Zenaida.
Zenaida also looked at the door's direction at the same time as that person and their eyes met with each other.
Carl?
What is he doing here again?
Carl and Zenaida stared at each other's eyes for few seconds without saying anything.
After staring at Zenaida's eyes for few seconds, Carl took the initiative to ask " Did I wake you up? Or Didn't you take a rest at all?"
Zenaida felt a little bit guilty in her heart and said to Carl in a very small murmuring voice while averting her gaze towards another direction "The second one"
Carl looked at Zenaida.
Is she feeling guilty about not taking a rest at all?
She is now behaving like an elementary kid who has done something wrong.
Is she afraid that he would blame her?
A small smile arise on Carl's face and he wasn't able to suppress it at all.
Zenaida noticed the rising smile on Carl's face and she was attracted by his smile.
Carl's smile is the most beautiful smile in the world and it is such a rare sight too.
Why is he smiling in this way? Is he smiling at her?
It doesn't matter what is the reason for Carl's smile but Zenaida was so happy to see his smile this much closely. She stared at his face until his smile vanished completely from his face.
Carl noticed the Zenaida's intense staring at his face but he ignored it since he used to stare at by her since a long time. So, he casually asked Zenaida "Do you want to go home? Roy will drop you off at your place. "
When she heard those words of Carl, Zenaida felt little bit aggrieved in her heart.
She wanted to stay here around Carl but now Carl is asking her to go home with Roy. She couldn't possibly say no to Carl when he is taking initiative to be nice to her in this way. But she doesn't want to leave Carl at all.
