Chapter 4 - The Book Fair

Dolly and alfred were getting ready for there classes in the morning . Alfred chose masters in business administration as he wanted to run a business of his . He always dreamt to be a successful entreprenuer .Basically he was mrs wilson's sister's son and now he was here to complete his studies .

" can i ask you one question even if you mind?" Dolly asks alfred "ya sure say" alfred replies "look you have to be honest about it , what's going on in your mind regarding daisy?" Dolly asks "its nothing like that dolly , cmon i don't even know her yet" alfred replies hesitatingly and moves outside.

soon they reach the university and gather there stuff out of the car . " ill be back after parking the car , wait for me here " alfred says as he parks the car .

"hey dolly polly"daisy says from behind

Dolly gets excited and turns to see daisy , "oh hi honey i missed you so much!!!" Dolly replies .

"cmon stop being so dramatic now , i know you got a companion already" daisy replies.

" he's an idiot blah blah" dolly says making a weird face .

" what did you just say? You baby elephant!!" Alfred says while coming towards both of them .

He suddenly gets stuck as daisy was there too , for him daisy was a landscape of beauty , with beautiful voice , soul and face .

" hi alfred" says daisy

Alfred gets butterflies while listening his name coming out softly and sweetly from daisy's mouth . He smiles and replies "hi daisy , all good?"

"yeah" daisy says .

"anyways let us go and attend our classes now" dolly says while moving fastly towards classroom block .

" where are you lost today? Didn't you checked the notice board day before yesterday? Today is book fair!!!" Daisy says to dolly

" oh god how come i forget that! Even you told me last night" dolly replies

"anyways im about to set up my book stall , miss ellen has alloted the place and other accessories . Lets go" daisy says to dolly and alfred

Three of them head to the library area to collect the books alloted and other items. The most excited person was alfred as he got to spend time with daisy!

"welcome to daisy's heart" dolly says while pointing towards the library

"heart?" Alfred suddenly asks

" oh i forgot to tell you about her , actually my bestfriend is one in a million piece who loves library , books , coffee and simple stuff" dolly says while looking at alfred .

Alfred starts smiling as now he liked knowing things about daisy . Something was happening to him , he was feeling attracted towards her . Maybe because it was the very first time he was experiencing such feeling .

Daisy laughs hardly and says " shut up dolly"

" why shut up? It's the truth only haha" dolly replies while looking at daisy with wide eyes .

As soon as they enetr the library , daisy felt very positive and said to herself "ahh the relief is of next level when i enter this place" . Alfred hears it and says " beautiful"

Daisy suddenly gets scared while listening a voice so close behind her. "um ya" daisy replies .

They collected the books from the library after taking issuing slip . When they head towards the stall outside the library , daisy suddenly remembers that she forgot a thing back there , " you guys go and set ill be back in a minute" daisy says to both of them .

When dolly and alfred were setting up the stall they found that they didn't brought the book category cards . " alfred can you please go and collect the cards from library?" Dolly asks alfred . " ya for sure" alfred replies .

As alfred was going inside , he suddenly stopped by the sight of daisy . He moved towards her to see what she's doing .

" thanks for your contribution miss daisy , here is your donation slip" the receptionist says to daisy .

Alfred felt more positive for daisy when he saw that she does donation stuff . When daisy turned and saw that alfred was there watching all this she says " what are you doing here?"

" oh nothing i just came to collect cards" alfred replies

They both then collect cards and move towards the stall and then alfred asks " um you donate for?"

" poor children who lost there parents"

" oh that's very kind of you"

"thanks , please don't tell anyone ; not even dolly . I know you must be thinking that im saying this way for my bestfriend too ; its just that i don't want to do any sort of showoff!"

" oh i totally understand , don't worry" alfred replies

Soon they set up there stall and arrange all the books in there respective categories . The fair started and people started coming over to see the books .

There was a next level of excitement on daisy's face . It was true when dolly said that "library is daisy's heart" .

Most of the people were buying books of romance genre and especially from daisy's stall because she was the only person who read each and every book before placing on the stall and she knew what people will like and what they'll not . At some point in life such decisions make a lot of difference in the outcome of our efforts.

All this time alfred was busy looking at daisy and adoring her . He even clicked some of her pictures while she was telling the customers regarding the books and there prices .

Finally the book fair ended around 8 pm . Daisy , dolly and alfred were very tired . It was a very long working day .

" thanks for joining me guys" daisy says

" Shut up daisy! We don't need any thank you" dolly replies

Haha good night , have to take cab!" Daisy says

" why cab? We'll drop you , don't worry" alfred says while smiling.

On there way alfred and daisy exchange there phone numbers . Soon they drop daisy at there apartment . She was very tired so she just sleeps .
