Life of Problems

chapter 44

You're Jiya, right?

Jiya turned back. She was finding some books in library when that voice came. She saw a handsome boy from their class standing in front of her whom she has never talked to. Jiya nodded.

I am Robin Williamson. I am in your class.

Jiya didn't say anything just stared curiously.

Well...l see you reading a lot of books. I have started reading books recently. So will you mind recommending me some? I can't understand which to read before actually.

Why don't you ask the librarian? said Jiya calmly.

Well... looks like she is in a bad mood,so....am l disturbing you that much? It won't take a lot of time, please.

What kind of books are you looking for? said Jiya annoyedly.

Any kind will do. I don't have idea as l am reading out books for first time. You can recommend any you like, said Robin cheerfully.

Jiya sighed and started looking for some books she thought was worth reading.

Thank you so much,Jiya,said Robin after getting five books at hand. You're so helpful.

It's alright, said Jiya coldly.

See you later then. Bye and thanks again for wasting your precious time on me.

Yeah,bye. Jiya felt relieved to get rid of him. Not like he was that annoying but he wasted a lot of time and now she was clearly late for her meeting with students. So she hurried back picking her books quickly.

You're late, said Joe at once.

I know, said Jiya calmly. Sorry for being late, now let's start quickly,she said after settling down in a chair.

It's only five days left before the exam. With the great help from Jiya and studying madly we have completed our topics and was doing last moment preparation. After finishing the day's 

study Jwel said, Jiya,can l have a chat with you?

Sure, said Jiya.

Hey, l just wanted to say.....Jwel started, l just...l..

Jiya waited patiently to hear Jwel.But Jwel then said, l will say you later. Bye,see you.

Yeah, said Jiya stunned. Jwel left quickly.

Very mysterious ,said Joe coming beside Jiya who didn't answer. Will you go to your tent now?Hmm.

I am coming with you, said Joe.

And Jiya nodded without being slightest annoyed which surprised Joe a little but he followed her quitely.

Kathy sighed. Let us revise our boring lesson and them enjoy their time.

In a few days it will be over anyway, said Nick hopefully.

Will it? I thought about the coming year which gonna be much harder indeed cause of university admission test in end of it. Though I didn't say it to spoil their hope.

So charming,Joe said taking a deep breath. Various kinds of flowers were blossoming recently and the air was filled with a beautiful smell. 

The weather, beauty of jungle, water's sound coming from the river, all were very peaceful.

You seem in a good mood today, said Jiya.Yep! Listen, l wanted to ask you something.

Jiya stared curiously.

What's your view on E.T.I?

E.T.l? Extraterestriyal intelligence,you mean? Jiya asked aback. Have you changed your topic of interest?

No, l just wondered whether you believe it or not?

I do believe, said Jiya thoughtfully.

Why? Joe asked excitedly.

Jiya chuckled. Well, there's no strong logic behind it actually. I just think the probability of having planets with life other than earth is high in a vast universe like this. I mean scientists had found a lot of planets very much similar like earth, it's possible to find life there. Thinking of that, there can be different type of life as well which we can be found in different environment than the earth's one. All is my imagination,to be honest. But, it's not important that like us all living creatures will need oxygen,water etc to live. Some can need carbon dioxide as well,if they're of different physical characteristics. Who knows?

Not so bad logic, said Joe approvingly.What about you? You believe aliens?

Joe gave a meaningful laugh which Jiya took as a yes.

So,why do you believe in aliens?I have my reasons, said Joe.

And what are your reasons? asked Jiya lightly.

It's just that...l wanna say you something Jiya.Sure, said Jiya calmly.

Joe suddenly held her hands tightly and said eagerly, promise me, you won't say this to anyone.

Alright, said Jiya a little confused. Is it something important?

I will say you soon, when l feel it right, said Joe.

You're behaving odd ,Jiya said nervously. Now if you let go my hands then we can move.

Sure, Joe blushed a little and removed his hands. Let's move.

They started for the tent again.
