Chapter 10

I got my headset from my room and was currently on the balcony, inclining toward the wall while watching the  sight set before me. The dusk. I continued to notice the tones, shades, and examples of sky and mists and how regular it is different. The mists made dusk look all the more beautiful. 

I shut my eyes as the music began to loosen up my mind. Before long, I felt somebody pulling my headset off my right ear. I shifted my head as I woke up and found Tae grinning generally. 

"I figured you might want some company?" 

"I'm touched,” I wiped my nonexistent tears away. 

"Wanna be my best friend? I guarantee I wouldn't resemble one of those fakes, who broke your trust, who used you. I will attempt my best  to satisfy you," his square-shaped grin came visible as I nodded my head. 

"No more mysteries between us, alright? If you have anything, you could talk to me,” he looked so genuine. 

I nodded and wound up earning a pinch on my cheeks which made me cry. 

" If you wouldn't mind Tae, would you listen to me, so I could feel somewhat better?" 

"I'm always there for you," he grinned. 

I faced him and took a full breath and began telling him in my mother tongue, Malayalam. He looked befuddled first and then was curious. Making an honest effort to distinguish what I was saying. 

"I'm done." I grinned at him. 

"If you don’t mind, can you translate for me?" he sulked. 

"A short outline for you Tae, I was talking about that bitch, how I needed to smack her across her face, and how hard I needed her to rot in jail,” I smiled  at him. 

"Should we call a few aliens from space to kidnap her? We could torment her there?" 

Wait, what did he say?

"I’m in!’ We did a fist bump.

That kid truly knows how to make me smile. 

"You know, Rose, my best friend has deceived me. It was something that happened in my primary school." 

I looked at him stunned. 

"We were close. However, I began to feel as he didn't consider me his friend, yet rather as somebody second-rate compared to him. I had seen that, yet we remained friends. Then, on that his birthday, he said at school that he planned to host a birthday party. In those days, birthday certificates were trendy, so he requested that everybody purchase those and go to his party at the end of the week. So I got him one for his birthday and went to his home. I found out that he had deliberately told everybody with the exception of me where the party would be. I didn't have a clue where to go, so I hung tight outside for three hours with the gift while attempting to sort out where I ought to go. After finding out, I went there and gave him his gift. Then, I said, ‘It's the ideal opportunity for me to return home, so I will leave,’ and left. I cried so particularly hard as I headed back home. I heard later that he was desirous of me in those days. That is the reason he didn't let me know where the party was. After some time had elapsed, he let me know that he had been desirous of me, since I got along so well with our friends." 

"Oh Tae,”  I maneuvered him into an embrace. How could somebody do that to this valuable kid? 

"Should I beat him up?" I raised my eyebrow at him. 

"Chill, Rose.” He laughed. 

"I might want to share mine, we would do that  another day. I'm so tired now." I grinned at him. 

He held my hands in his. 

"I understand. Don’t force yourself. Just know that we all are here for you.”

"I know you all will be there for me. I purple you guys,” I snickered at how adorable he looked. 

"Did I hear that right?" He asked.

"Yup, you heard it right, my best friend.”

" I purple you as well, Rose." He pulled me assaulting me with his lovely hugs. 

"My hand, my hand!"  I whined in the middle. 

" I'm sorry, Rose. Did I hurt you?" He looked concerned at this point. 

" A little nibble, however, it’s fine,” I chuckled. 

"Shall we listen to some music to celebrate our best friend’s day?" I asked him while he nodded adorably. 

That is the way we get to know one another by listening to music. One among some moments that I would appreciate in my life.
