Chapter 21 - Chapter. 20. A night

Idris was eager to know why Belis suddenly skipped school. Aai didn't know how to start and say everything.

Aai: "Idris, I think...why don't you sit and have a proper talk with Belis? I too don't know the exact reason but I'm sure she will open up when she's ready". As they went in silence,

Belis called Aai out. She was nervous. Aai stood and walked to her, "I think it's better if you speak up".

Belis listened, clench her fist, then after letting out her breath she stepped forward.

Belis: "Brother...actually...".

Suddenly the servant comes with a dress in his hand, "Young master, here's what you asked for".

Idris: "Here Aai, freshen up and change into this... uncle, show her the way".

Aai went with the servant. After a while, she returned and saw the siblings hugging.

Belis told Idris everything from the start and spoke to him. Idris felt sorry for Belis and comforted her.

Belis: "Brother, you know, senior is so cool. She, having no friends, is so strong. Even confronting the girls she stood still. I really like her".

Idris: "Be good to her okay. Never hurt her, though you think she's great". he said while patting her head.

Aai was standing far from them, watching them. Then the servant comes to her and offers her a glass of drink.

As she was talking, Idris looks at that direction. Belis sees Idris looking away, she notices Aai. She was amazed by her look, "Senior!".

Aai wore a full sleeves pale pink printed cream coloured dress reaching the knees and cream coloured tights. With her hair down and glasses, she looked cute and charming.

Belis ran to her and praised her looks.

Belis: "Brother?"

Idris too was in a daze looking at Aai. When he heard Belis he came to senses.

Idris: "You are so cute Aai". if she had removed her large round glasses, she would sure look pretty.

Hearing the sibling compliments, Aai was stunned and blushed. She bends her head and clearer her throat.

The siblings sure liked Aai and Idris chuckled on Aai's reaction.

Belis then took Aai to show her dolls, dresses and stuff. Though Aai wasn't interested in such things, she felt like playing with a younger sister. They played and roamed around the mansion.

After having dinner, Aai and Belis went to their rooms. Their rooms were just opposite each other.

Before Aai step into her room Belis spoke to her,

Belis: "Senior, you know I... I really like you. Please don't get me wrong, I respect you and admire you. I really wanna thank you for whatever you have done so far for me. You might think that your act was just a normal think, but that small action means a lot for a person like me. I could never help you in such way but even if you push me away, I would stand with you senior...that's all I wanted to say, ....good ngt senior". Belis closes her door and touching her face jumps on her bed. She smile and goes to sleep.

Outside Aai was in a daze. She heard her clearly, looks at her for a while then she goes into her room.

It was past midnight, she walks out from her room, searching for water, she drinks up from the kitchen. After drinking as she turns, she holds her breath in.

Letting a big sigh she says, "Please don't scare me like that!". she again gulps some water.

Idris: "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you.... Aren't you sleepy?". he asks while taking sips of water.

Aai: "Thought of drinking water to fall asleep, then I'm going back...good ngt".

Idris: "Umm actually I too have lost my sleep so, would you like to take a walk with me?".

It was chilling outdoors. Idris was wearing his jacket while Aai covered herself with a shawl. They stepped on the wet grasses, taking the starry sky with them, they walked through the path guarded by large bushes. Awhile later Idris halted. Aai was deeply mesmerised by the beautiful scenery in the front.

It was a garden bordered with bushes of flowers in a squared shape, a small round table with chairs under a roof covered with creepers reaching it's top and a bench outside it with it's legs buried in grasses. This whole setup gleamed under the direct moonlight. If you flicker the petals of flowers, the water droplets would run out like glittering tiny gems. It was 'Wow'
