Life of Problems

chapter 27

Jiya? Joe called.

Why are you here again? Jiya wondered.

Why are you wondering? I often come here, don't l?

I thought you won't come anymore, Jiya mumbled.

Huh?

Nothing.

Well... I got your jacket, remember? Here, l have washed it. Joe was holding a bag.

Oh,okay.

About yesterday.. it's alright, Jiya interrupted. You told me before. I just got a little confused maybe, she chuckled.

Well l didn't mean to say like that, it's just that.. if you don't mind, l am studying now, will you leave? Jiya interrupted again.

Then..see you tomorrow at the school, Joe said.

Tomorrow is Sunday,Jiya said.

Joe hesitated. Jiya, that... I mean about... yesterday,l really didn't mean to hurt you, it was just...

It's alright. You don't have to worry about me, Jiya said. I am fine.

I know you are angry at me, l shouldn't have..

I am not, bye then.

Well, listen..

See you again, bye, Jiya said coldly. After that, he had no choice but to leave.

*Why don't you talk to me? Joe asked. I have already said sorry.

Why do you need me to talk with you? Nick asked angrily.

What do you mean by why? You are my friend, you should talk with me. I feel lonely in this way.

I don't wanna, you are a bad person. You don't worry about other's feelings at all.

I am not. I didn't know Jiya was hearing, okay?

So? How could you even insult your friend like that? Even if she wasn't hearing, you're bad. How will I know that you don't think the same about me?

Why can't a friend research on the other friend? Was l killing her? Did l do any harm? Even if l think the same for you, why's it bad? If l know about her properly, maybe l even can help her. Like a psychiatrist do.

It's not cause of your research it's cause after you're finished with your research, you will say, oh! You were just a guinea pig for me. I am sorry that I used you and lied that you're my friend, Nick said bitterly.

I won't! Do you think me like that? Joe said but tear is visible in his eye.You have already done it, why will I think?

Well, that's cause she was hearing, l needed her to hear that, Joe stopped suddenly.

  Shit! I am not supposed to say it, he murmured.

What did you say? Nick shouted. You knew she was hearing? Why? Why then?

I said it wrong, Joe said quickly. I meant l didn't know.

No, you are trying to hide something, what's that? What the hell are you up to? Nick asked suspiciously.

Well.. it's

Say it, Nick said eagerly.That's actually another experiment, Joe chuckled nervously. I was trying it on her.Experiment?

After hearing all Nick said, but it failed. Well, l am sorry then, l shouldn't have behaved like that with you. After all, your intention was good.

It's okay,bro. Now you know, then l will tell Ema and Kathy too. I can't effort to loose them.
