章節 2: Chapter -02
Neil:
Aunt smiled at us,before saying anything, she wished me "Happpppyyyyy Birthdayyyy my young love, you have grown so beautiful.. I don't have any exact & perfect more words to describe", she chuckled.
Damn aunt keira, she never misses any opportunity to embarass me in front of people. It's sweet but embarrassing you know what I mean!
"You're late, I thought you would be the first person coming on this day" I complained.
Meanwhile aunt keira gave me her present,I knew what it was already.
"A BOOK"- I smiled.
" What's your true love other than that?", She pouted.
She told me to open it. I did.
It was "Pride & Prejudice". The book was very available, the gift part was 'it was the first edition'. I don't know how she managed things like that..She always knew I like first edition of any books or hand written something. I thanked her with a smile.
"Haven't you watched the movie" she asked.
"Nooo", I replied.
Actually I never liked to watch movies which was based on a novel, I thought movies never reflect the books.They are not even same in making. I still believe it.
Mother walked towards the girl. "Hello sweetheart, I don't know your name?"
Before the girl replied anything, aunt keira almost shouted. "Oh fish,I forgot I have her", she chuckled.
"She is Heili. She's my close relative. I hope she likes it here", aunt added.
"wow,isn't she cute?", mom smiled.
Heili meanwhile was looking at the gathering. It seems that she wanted to see a familiar face. She took her look back & kept silent as before.
"Just make yourself at home, we are happy to have you here", mom assured Heili with a small giggle.
Aunt keira pinched me saying " Hey young boy, don't mess with Heili. Make sure she's comfortable here".
"Of course", I replied.
I mean who the hell would make her uncomfortable? Am I a teaser?! Damn her.
Heili was sitting most of the time,ate little. She didn't communicate at all. She smiled & replied everytime she was asked something. Which was normal. I was not avoiding her, actually I was a little busy. I had to take calls from friends, they were talking & talking. They wanted to come over & get treats. I got somehow convinced to go with them but I later I refused for our guests. I played games with them online for few hours. Then naturally I was bored.
I saw Heili coming upstairs. Maybe she was looking for something. I asked her if she needed anything politely.
" uh..um..could you tell me about washroom? " she looked shy.
"Yeah! This way please " I replied with a smile.
How old would she be?same as my age?younger? Nah,may be.. - these like just crossed my mind.
"Thank you", she smiled while leaving after using the washroom.
"Ahh listen,Let's talk?", I proposed as I was really bored & tried to overcome the awkwardness. But was that appropriate, i thought awhile.
She mumbled, "uh yea sure".
We literally kept silent for like half an hour. I was still thinking if it was strange to her. I don't know what she was thinking either. There was something strange about the situation I didn't understand where to start, what to start with!
" So you live with aunt keira?", finally i asked as I had to.
"For now, yes ", she replied.
For now? I mean what did she mean. I didn't ask about further like why,how long bla bla.
"okay,so you go to school?" again I asked.
"I used to, Maybe I will continue I guess". She just said it. She added nothing.
I thought she was not interested at all talking to me as she didn't add anything further.
"okay let's go join them",I said.
"Hhhmm" she nodded.
Awkward as hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Already friends? ", Aunt smilingly said.
Well,yes friends for sure, she avoided me whole time,LoL. In middle I got asked things which I thought normal. Anyways doesn't matter.
Heili smiled.
" Aunt you're the best.thank you", I teased her a little.
And We laughted.
