It was monday morning, Ryan got up early morning and came to his balcony to get some fresh air. He was also trying to look for Parth but he couldn't see him.
Isla finished her breakfast and headed out for the school. She got inside the car and driver drove off the car. She entered the classroom.
" Hey! Isla." Darsh called her from behind.
" Hi! " Isla greeted him back.
She looked around the classroom to see Parth. She couldn't find him anywhere.
" I think he is not well yet that's why he is absent today." Isla said and moved to her seat.
Ryan was thinking to meet him and clear everything otherwise his mind was gonna burst out in figuring out everything by himself. Around 2 o'clock afternoon, he reached the school and waited outside to get the class over. After half an hour, he saw students coming out of the classrooms. He was looking for Isla and especially Parth.
" Hey! Ryan. " Isla called him.
When he turned back, he saw Isla, Eva and Darsh were approaching him. Ryan waved his hands to them but only Isla waved back . Eva was staring at him angrily.
" Why is he here? " Eva whispered to Darsh.
" How can i know that?" Darsh said in annoying voice.
" What are you doing here? " Isla asked him immediately as soon as she reached near to him.
" Nothing. I was just passing by. So, i thought to visit your school and meet your friends too. " He lied to her because he didn't want to know then that he came to meet Parth only.
" It's really funny. " Eva commented at him.
Darsh hinted her to keep silent.
" I know you guys are angry with me. I'm sorry for my misbehaviour." Ryan said after guessing Eva's anger for him.
" Do you mean that? " Darsh said.
"Of course. " Ryan said, " Where is the basketball champion? I couldn't see him. He is still in the classroom? I should ask him sorry too." Ryan said in this way so that no one could get idea that he was looking just for him.
" He is not in the classroom. In fact, he is absent today. "
"Oh! Celebrating his victory? "
" Actually he is not celebrating. He is unwell since yesterday. " Darsh said, " and that's why he fainted also in the court after match. "
" What? He was not well then why did he play the match? " Darsh was startled and regretted also for misbehaving him.
" Okay, let's go now. " Ryan couldn't hold himself there anymore and got inside the car.
As the car reached near Parth's house, Isla asked the driver to stop the car. She opened the door and came outside.
" Where are you going? " Ryan asked her.
" I am going to see him. "Isla said pointing to his house.
Ryan too, wanted to join her but he didn't want to open up by himself.
" You go home. I'll come after meeting him." She said and closed the car's door, headed towards his house. She knocked the door.
Ryan asked the driver to wait there for few minutes till she got inside the house. Lily came to open the door.
" Hi! Isla. "
" Hello! Is Parth there? "
" Yes., come inside."
Ryan tried to see who was there at the door but Lily immediately closed the door as she entered the house. He felt disappointed and the driver moved the car ahead.
" Where is he? " Isla asked looking around the courtyard.
" He is upstairs in his room. You go upstairs and there is Parth's room. " Lily told her.
She went upstairs and knocked the door.Parth opened the door and got surprised to see her standing there.
" How did you come here? "
" What do you mean, How? "She said and pushed him aside and entered his room., " Did you forget, i'm your neighbour. "
" I mean Ryan doesn't like me to have friendship with you and you even came to my house now. He will get so much angry."
" You don't mind him. I is rude since his birth. I came here to see you. How are you doing now?"
" I'm good but i have little weakness that's why i didn't go school today."
Lily entered the room with coffee and gave a cup of coffee to Isla.
" Thank you. " Isla smiled
" You welcome." Lily smiled.
Isla took a sip from the cup and said, " Wow! It's wonderful. It's taste is really amazing. How did you make it. My maid doesn't make like this amazing coffee. "
" It's so simple. Why don't you come here often to have this tasty coffee? "
" Really. Can i come here often? "
" Of course you do.I tell show you how to make it? "
"Hey! girls, what is this? She came to visit me and you guys are talking about how to make tasty coffee? "
" Don't disturb us. Let us talk about the recipe for other food items too. " Lily shrugged and kept telling her while trying to adjust her hair slowly running her hand through it.
Lily and Isla kept on going from one recipe to another, ignoring him.
" You guys will cook everything today itself just sitting on my bed itself." Parth got annoyed and moved in the balcony.
He saw Ryan was sitting there in his balcony on the chair. Parth started at him. He felt that someone was watching him so he lifted his face and their eyes met. Parth got busted and he immediately walk inside his room.
They were talking about shopping now.
" Oh! So your talk started from kitchen and moved out to shopping now.You're gonna purchase everything too here only? "
" I think i should leave now. It's already late. See you tomorrow Parth. " She waved her hand and walked away.
" She is very nice and friendly too." Lily seemed highly impressed with her.
"I think she likes you. You are hiding something from me. " Lily said in her guessing face.
" No, we are just friend." Parth said while walking downstairs.
" Oh! Really. So, don't expect me to favour you if someday you come to me and say, 'Lily please do me a favour. I want to go out on date with Isla. Please, don't tell Pa about it.' I'm not gonna help you then. "
" It's never gonna happen." Parth said, showing her his thumbs down.
" Don't know when both of you gonna grow up and stop fighting like child. " Grandma came out of her room after listening them gabbling.
" It's nothing grandma." Lily said, " we aren't fighting. I just want to listen truth from someone." Lily looked at his face and said.
" What truth? " Grandma asked innocently.
"Why don't you ask your loving Smiley.He is hiding something from you."
Parth tapped his feet and said, " No, grandma. She is just teasing me."
Grandma nudged her , pretended to angry at her and said, " he doesn't hide anything from me. "
" Ha.. ha.. ha.." Lily faked laughing and said, " You're going to regret someday for believing on him blindly. "
" Okay. Stop teasing him now and bring my phone from my room. I need to call your Pa. He is outside since afternoon."
Lily went to her room to bring her phone. She came out of her room with her phone and gave her.
" I'm going to make tea for you grandma."
" Okay. " grandma said and started scrolling her contact list to call him.
