ARYA KANNA

"Adithya, you coming or what?" I tried to wake him up.  

We were all planned to leave house before four and see the sunrise at Kanyakumari and eat breakfast at... some nice hotel.  Okay, first I have to wake him and make him bath and get ready.

"Five, minutes please." He snored.

"Adithya, we are ready to go.  If you are not ready in 30 minutes, we are going without you." I told.  I know he'll wake up and be ready within 10 minutes like a jet.  And he did.

He came back from the shower.  "Good boy." I said.

"Okay, okay." he said that with a attitude.

We all meet in our tiny front yard where Max was standing near Alexa, holding his hands like they both were couple.  And Akash stood beside me with Adithya.  Okay, five people, Akash, Max, Alexa, Adithya, and Arya for one last time before going out.

"Akash, you are coming with?" I said

"Come on, sweetie.  I have a jeep.  We can all go with it." He said.

I don't know why he called me with sweetie and why in the hell I blushed.

"No, Arya, they can go with Akash.  But remember, the promise you made me the other day?  If the engagement is cancelled you said, you'll take to the bike ride with you.  And we are going with your bike." He said, crossing his hands against his chest.

Akash looked at me with hurt in his face.  I told him sorry with my eyes and turned back to Adithya.  

"Yes, right." I chuckled nervously.  "Go get your baby helmet, mate." I said with my funny Australian accent which made them all laugh.  But except for one person.

Max wasn't laughing.  I wonder what gets into him in overnight.  And one thing looks weird that Alexa was holding his hands like he was some kind of child.  It seemed like he was trying to yank his hands away but she was holding it still.

Max rolled down the glass.  "Arya, I didn't know you can ride motorcycle?"  Max said once I hopped in my bike.

"Ever since I was in seventh grade!" I literally shouted and buckled my helmet.

Adithya sat behind me, holding me tightly with his small arms and said,"Arya, let's the battle begins." and chuckled.

MAX MILLER

Yesterday night, that was a close call.  What Alexa would do if she finds out that I'd been cheating on her sister?  She'd spare me.  

"Arya, let's the battle begins." Adithya chuckled as she rode and fades away in the morning darkness.  

"You should chase her." Alexa groaned at Akash from back seat.

I sat on the passenger seat even though I wouldn't want to sit there, Alexa forced me to do it.  Because I and Akash wants to be at least friends, she'd said.

"She's driving like a queen, isn't she?" Alexa exclaimed.

"Yeah, she is." Akash nodded, proudly that made me to punch his face but I couldn't do it, she was noticing me the whole time through the side mirror.  I hate it whenever she tries to make me me low.

I wants to know more about her, so asked him what's she was like when she was in her school days.  

He first, looked at me for a second before concentrating back on the road.

I thought he'd never say a nothing.

"She was really a silent student back in the day.  Nobody in our school knows her they still don't.  She hate seeking attention, she feels that made her weak.  She only has two friends who she measuring-ly shares a less thing, she's a secret type."

"No.  I not asking about how she was?  About her love life?  Do you know anything?" I asked.

"No, I don't" he said stubbornly.

There was a pause.

"I saw a letter on her room..." I said.

He clenched his teeth.  "Did you read it?"

"No, I didn't.  But if feels like she felt for him.  I think she was madly in love whoever he was." I smirked.

"Yeah?  I know." he said.

There was a pause.

"I never imagined that she had feelings for me back in those days where she was just fifteen or so.  And I was stupid enough, back then to avoid such a wonderful girl.  I know she has feelings for her but I rejected her without even knowing me.  And she never talked more than a word with me.  She just hang out with only her two friends.  You know what I like the most about her?" he said.

I didn't answer.

"Her smile.  She don't show her teeth while smiling.  One day I asked her brother why she was smiling weirdly and he said that their mother told her not to show her teeth in public.  So, she doesn't even show her teeth while laughing.  Can you believe it?"

"I can." Alexa giggled from the back.

"And_" Akash started.

"That's enough for now, Akash.  Just concentrate on road, we can talk later.  Couldn't we, Max?" She said, raising her eyebrows at me.

"Yeah, sure."

Then that day, we all watched sunrise at the beach and went on some adventure camping without a camp and visits palace and ate some traditional Indian cuisines.

While returning to her house, Adithya got tired and he got in the jeep so that he can take a rest.  And now there was a space in bike.  She asked Alexa whether she was interested or not, when she said that Adithya was on her lap, she said, "Nah, I have a little man to take care of."

Akash literally couldn't leaving his jeep abandon and go on a ride with her.  So, she didn't ask her.  And there was only one man to ask now, that's me.  I thought she'd never ask.  

"Max," she called nicely as I pretend to be not caring what was going on there.  "Max," she called one more time.

"Yeah?" I said, still pretending.

"Would you like to go on a little in my queen?" she asked, tapping on the head of her motorcycle.

"Why not?" I said.  "Anybody mind if I go with her?" I announced.  And I can barely them both happy for me. 

"Max!" Alexa shouted.

I hopped out and stood outside of Alexa's seat and whispered in her ears.  "Sweetie, listen up.  I've respected your words too much.  Last time I checked, I'm Max Miller, bitches sweetheart.  Don't try to change the fact even in your dreams.  I repeat.  I like her.  I'm gonna take my chances and no one stick their noses on my business.  Have a great trip with that, dump ass sweetie." 

I smirked at Arya before hopping in and she definitely wondering did she made a mistake by asking me?
