Life of Problems

chapter 71

Hello, said Joe in a sleepy voice. Why are you calling in this time?I will give you ten minutes, come before the library. I am waiting ,Jiya said sharply.Hey... Joe tried to say something but Jiya has already ended the call. He quickly got off the bed and rushed for washroom. He stopped, came back and called Nick. Wake up, library in ten minutes ,he said breathlessly and rushed again. Nick got up at once and followed him. It's been seven weeks since their horse riding. Jiya is trying her best to fulfill all his wishes. Generally it's one wish per weekend and today is Saturday. They did horse riding ,ice skating, picnic with everyone. Also, watched movie in a multiplex and some other stuffs.But the street performance was most remarkable. Joe had a wish to sing before everyone. But they had to run away from public thanks to his wonderful singing skills. Jwel was with them too that day. Please bro, do earth a favor. Just never sing again ,he had said while running.

Present, said Joe loudly seeing Jiya standing before the library. You should tell us before about our plan, he complained.

I did yesterday, said Jiya irritatedly.Did you? But l don't re.... forget it, said Jiya interrupting. She gestured towards a bicycle beside her. Bicycle riding, your thirteenth wish l am granting.You haven't ever ridden a bicycle? asked Nick surprised.I will today, said Joe enthusiastically. He approached the cycle and held it. But how? he asked looking at Jiya and Nick.Well...it would take time to learn, said Nick.But you can't learn here, said Jiya.Why? asked Joe and Nick together.You can fall while learning and bleed, said Jiya thoughtfully.Joe's happiness disappeared. Then, can't l do it?You know duel riding, right? she asked Nick. There's two cycle l have hired.Of course, said Nick. Joe, you're going with me then. Where though?Follow me, said Jiya and started paddling.

Okay, now take a break, said the master. Kathy sat down and wiped her sweat. She was breathing heavily.

The interclub competition went quite well for her. Ema, Joe, Jwel and even Jiya was there to cheer her. After that competition she is getting chances in a lot of competitions. Her master said that she is progressing very fast recently. If she keeps it up, it won't take long for her to get in the national training center.I hope l get in before everyone finds out, she thought. It's only four months for me to turn eighteen. Please don't find out before that dad.Okay, start practicing, said her master and she stood up quickly. It's my only way to follow my dream.

Oahh! Whose house is this, asked Nick wide eyed seeing the luxurious mansion before them.

Joe can learn here, said Jiya slowly. The space is big enough.But what about the residents of this house, asked Joe.Well...there aren't any, said Jiya hesitantly. It's deserted for now.And how do you know that? asked Nick. Wait! Is this your grandfather's house ?Hmm, said Jiya almost in a whisper.Why do you stay in a hostel then? he asked again.Cause we aren't adult, said Jiya quite uncomfortably . Let's just start the practice.Okay, said Joe and Nick.
