"...Senior, if you want to relax outdoors where would you go?". Aiza asked as she was waiting for the answer.
"To relax? Hmm...The library?".
"Amm other than that?". she was eager to hear the answer.
"Well...museums or beach or some quiet place with not many people and having nice scenery. What's up with this question?".
"Actually, I have a task of taking my cousins for an outing. They too have finished with their class tests and my ma instructed me to take them out. I don't know places besides what you said so...".
"Are they teens?".
"Well, I think you have seen Omu the time at the hospital with my aunt and the other one is his 8th-grade sister".
"Then how about taking them to R Bhavan hall? They are having a comedy-drama there this Sunday and there are food stalls too and a playground near it".
"Will it be fine there?".
"Why don't you try it once? There's a theatre too nearby. If they didn't like the former take them here".
Aiza was thinking about Saad's opinion.
"At best ask the kids where they would like to visit".
"Yeah! asking is better too. I'll try the first idea. If they are not fine then I'll ask them directly. Thanks senior, it was a big help".
"It's nothing...".
"Sorry senior I've to get home early after the classes. I've to prepare right? Then see ya!" she ran back to her class.
"HEY! LUNCH?", he shouted but she was already away.
Aiza searched on phone. Even indirectly asked her aunt's advice. She was like 'All set for the day'.
But who would have thought that it wasn't going to be an easy day.
That middle of the week, a notice was announced that a few experienced doctors and entrepreneurs would be giving speeches for the future generation. The students could clear their doubts and have them instructed about what they could do in future.
It would be held in Aiza's Uni hall on the outing day. Though it was for their juniors, leaving such an event unattended would be waste. Moreover, Aiza's idol masters would be present too.
Now she was stuck between her only chance and her first promise.
It wasn't that she had to only make the kids satisfied, instead, she too wanted to enjoy and satisfy herself with the kids. She besides her ma, had never gone anywhere. With her aunt was her first and with kids, an other experience.
She too was looking forward to that day. But now...
Hearing the notice Saad met her and comforted her saying that such an event might come in future when she's in a higher class or that he would attend it and if got a chance, would ask the questions which she wanted to. With said, Aiza requested for the latter option.
But unless it's oneself asking their questions, there won't be amazed feeling. And besides she might want to ask more questions than required when on visual.
Then Aiza thinking till the previous day of the event, wrote down her questions to be asked and send to Saad.
She was grateful that he was helping her so much, but she kept thinking about the event.
"OII!"
"HUH!"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?". Omu shouted.
Aiza was walking with Omu. She was such in deep thought that she lost her track on her way and began walking down the walkway. It was fortunate that Omu pulled her over or else she would have banged over the parked bike.
"Wha!", Aiza came to her senses. The bike owner scolded her for spacing out on road.
Apologizing to that man, she thanked Omu.
Omu thought about what was wrong with her. "Hey, are you okay?".
"I'm good. Thanks kid".
"...Stop treating me like a kid", he whispered.
"Huh?",
"Aren't you being quiet a lot since previous days? You would usually inquire about my class days and studies". He said while glancing at her. She just smiled and continued being silent. Omu thought that as he was bluntly rejecting her questions she must have felt bad.
"Sorry!".
"....?".
"I said SORRY! I didnt mean to speak bluntly like that". he clenched his fist as he said.
Aiza was surprised and felt that he had misunderstood her silence. But seeing his flushed face as apologising, her worries disappeared and she felt like teasing him.
