-.--.-..-.-...-"Here, I peeled these for you," Vin handed Kali a plastic plate containing the peeled apples to which Kali gladly took.
"Thank you."
Phoebe smiled when she saw Vin's caring action as she continues on humming a melodic tune while she arranges the freshly bought flowers in the vase.
Vin, who already did what he tasked himself to, went back to sitting by the window to continue reading his book.
Kali liked the serenity Phoebe and Vin brought into her room. The peaceful atmosphere gave her a sense of calmness, something she had been needing after a few hectic days.
It has been over a week ever since the whole group found out. During that time when they were at the hospital and looking for Chand, they saw Zaxton and Avery sitting on one of the chairs in the white hallway outside a room.
From that point on, they came to know about Kali's secret. A secret no one had expected.
They were then told that Chand was in the room and hasn't come out yet. They all knew why and their heart went out to the eldest. He's suffering and he wanted to be alone with Kali too.
They decided to leave the two for the meantime.
It wasn't until the next day that they were finally able to face their precious friend, who was sitting comfortably on her bed with a warm smile as she welcomes them. It was a sight that broke the hearts of everyone.
Even Chand, who never shows his feelings, couldn't help but become affected as well.
All of them wanted to stay by Kali's side and they really tried to but unfortunately, their last year of classes were starting so they had to go back to their own homes.
However, they all promised that they would visit her every free time they get. Although Chand decided to take the semester off even if his parents were profusely against it.
Chand, who had always been a very behaved son, went against his parents' wishes for the first time. It was a big decision on his part, one he isn't regretting as he spends everyday waking up to the love of his life.
