Magic of love

Chapter 9

Mother looked at Kai with a confused look at first but then, her face lit up. Kai greeted her and she smiled approvingly at him.

What.... Am I missing exactly??

"Oh Kai, Sit here and I'll bring some snacks." Mother said and went towards the kitchen.

Am I dreaming?? I'm definitely dreaming!! What's happening here?? May be I got teleported in some other dimension..

"Thanks but I shall take my leave. I came to accompany Yue home." Kai said a bit politely than usual.

Why am I the only one who don't know what is going on here?! Mother knows him??

"That's very nice of you. It's really relieving to know that she was with someone as responsible as you." Mother told him.

So, now I'm irresponsible? Nice! My image before my crush is being crushed! How ironic!

I looked at mother in hope that she would quit the conversation and do me some favour but she was too engrossed in talking with Kai that she didn't bother to glance at me.

I am feeling an unsettling feeling in my stomach. The nervous feeling is on its rise, I don't want them to talk any further..

"You both sit and talk now." She said with a smile to Kai and left us.

I looked at Kai completely clueless at which he chuckled lightly with an amused look.

I don't know about what I was bothered with just now.. I don't care a bit about it!! I was just lost in staring at him... He seemed so relaxed right now.. like he didn't have any worries in his life, for the first time..

It was the first time I saw him chuckle.. I am gonna remember this moment for my whole life now..

I didn't notice that I've been looking at him all this time. He clicked his fingers in front of my face with a raised eyebrow.

"S-sorry.. I was... Thinking something.." I told him.

"Fair enough." He said leaning back on the sofa and looking serious again.
"You remember we met on the riverside that day?" He queried.

"Umm yea.." I affirmed.

"It was your grandmother's private property right?" He questioned further.

"Yea.. and I was meaning to ask you this... But didn't know how.." I said unsure.

I didn't pay any attention to this fact when I met him but later when I got home, I was wondering about this.

With a slight nod, he started "My parents' house is quite close to your grandmother's. They are well acquainted and I visit there often when I am staying at my parents'. I am staying here for college purpose only."

"That day when you were supposed to come there, your grandmother invited me as well, but it appears that you weren't in a mood to socialize that day and left. I met your mother and sister there and took my leave soon after. I also used to visit the river, so I thought to go there since you weren't at home, so I had some free time. And that's when we met." He finished.

Now I get it.. That day I wasn't in a good mood so I went to the river to get some peace..

"Okay.. I didn't know about it." I said with a sweatdrop.

Soon, he left. For the following days, we kept discussing the project on texts and even in person. We started working on it and it was going amazingly!!

In these few days, I recognised him as a person that I assumed him to be. He only appears to be rude and cold but when I got a bit close to him, he was just how I had imagined!

He has a soft and caring heart.. and whenever I think about the time I have spent with him, I just can't help the smile that appears on my lips..

As we talk, I feel like I know him since longer than these few days..

As the day of the exhibition is approaching, I'm feeling more and more nervous day by day.. and even she has dropped a bomb on me, with a tag of surprise on it. Don't know what's in her mind. Even Kiara is not telling me anything!

And Kiara's friend.. he said that he's busy with a girl these days.. I was happy for him hehe.. it's nice to know that even he found someone! But... There's a strange irritated feeling that rises inside me when I think about it..

I wonder what that girl be like.. how is she that he won over someone like him? I mean, he is nice but at times, he is like a riddle that always goes from above my head..

He says things that feels like I understood the first time I read them.. but again, when I read it the other time, it seems to mean something else all along!

He understands things so easily even if I try to hide them... In essence.. he feels like Kai..

Ahh.. silly me! I'm always connecting everything to Kai!!

Tomorrow is the exhibition..  and there are so many things that will possibly unfold themselves.

I'm feeling nervous and excited at the same time.. will Kai stop talking to me as the exhibition will be done tomorrow...? My mind is filled with questions.. and the answers will unfold themselves tomorrow..

I only hope that tomorrow everything will be fine..
