Days passed. We finally entered in new year. New year eve was amazing we had fun. Me and the boys watched movie which was released in New year eve. Emilie spent her New year happily as well she was coming today and my dad was going to his posting today. Once again we'll be away from each other. Dad said he won't be able to come this year. I was both happy as well as sad. Happy because Emilie was coming and sad because was Dad was going.
"See you son, we'll meet next year. Study well and take care" Dad said. "I'll dad, make sure you call us whenever you get time." I said. "I will" dad said. "Now I'll have to go I will miss you both" said dad. He hugged both me and my mom and left for airport. Mom had to leave for her work too. I was all alone at my home. I completed some of the assignments that were given to us.
I had nothing much to do today. So I did some chores and played games with Luke. Later Sam invited us to play football with other guys. So we both went to play. Luke got his new bike in New year he was really happy. So we both took our bikes and went to playground.
We played till evening that's when I get message from Emy that she arrived in LA and will meet me tomorrow. I was happy that she's back now. I missed her. I returned home after playing.
Mom was home few minutes after I reached home. "Honey, I'm home" mom said. She looked sad. I asked her what happened. "Your grand mom was admitted to hospital today" said mom. "What happened to grandma, mom?" I asked in a worried tone. "She fell down and hit her head on ground I'll go meet her tomorrow,, she's fine now. " mom said. "Okay mom, will you tell Grandma that I miss her please?". "Sure son", said mom.
The next day mom went to see grandma my grandparents lived in California it took 36 minutes by flight to reach there. I couldn't go because I had university tomorrow. Mom said she will stay there for 2-3 days. So I was all alone at my home. I took out my phone and texted Emilie.
"Emy, at what time do we meet?"-Robert
"Let's meet at 3 O'clock. Where do you wanna meet?"-Emilie
"Let's meet at café near theatres?"-Robert
"Okay, see you then"-Emilie
"See you"-Robert
I reached the café at 3 O'clock and saw Emilie already there. "Hey Emy, how are you?" we hugged each other. "I'm fine Robert, how are you?". "I'm fine Emy" I said.
We talked about how we spent our holidays. "Robert, did you ever have a girlfriend?" Emilie asked. "No, I never had a girlfriend" I said. "Come on don't lie if not girlfriend you must have liked someone" she raised her eyebrow playfully. "Yeah I like someone I still like her" I said. She smiled and ask "Hey, why didn't you tell me about this?". I was wondering if Luke was here today he would have exposed me already. Thank God we are alone here. "I didn't tell anyone about this it was a secret until I told you" I said. "Does Luke know about this?" she asked. "He guessed it I didn't tell him but he doesn't know who that girl is" I lied. "Maybe me and Luke should try keeping an eye on you then" she smiled. Only if she knew who it was she wouldn't have to keep an eye on me. "Hey, why are you disclosing your plans already?" I laughed. "So that you try hard to keep it a secret which I know won't stay hidden forever" she said. I winked at her. "Are you challenging me Robert?" she pouted. "Maybe" I smiled at her. "So what do you like about this girl and where did you meet her?" she asked. "I like her eyes, the way she talks, the way she smiles, she's so cheerful and lively, everyone loves her. I think I could watch her all day and never get tired." I looked into her eyes and said. "Woah, looks like you are in love Mr. Robert" she raised her eyebrow and said. "Yes, I'm head over heels for her and Emy don't worry you will come to know who is this girl soon". "I see" she said then she was silent for a while then her phone rang. It was her sister Kaitlyn she wanted Emilie to come home soon since her parents were going somewhere tonight. "I'm sorry Robert but my sisters need me. I have to go" she said. "It's okay Emy, you should go. Can I drop you?" I asked. "Okay" she said. Like before she went silent again. "Is everything fine?" I asked. I could see she was lost in thoughts. "It's okay, if there's anything bothering you, you can tell me" I said. "I wish I could but I'm afraid what you will think of me" she said. "But-". "Robert, I promise to tell you about this but please don't ask me about it now" she told. "Okay, but when?" I asked. "Soon, when the right time comes" she said. "There's no right time. I'm afraid that what if the right time never comes" I explained. "It will and that's my promise please don't be mad at me" she said. "I'm not mad at you, I'm just upset that you don't trust me enough." "I trust you, but it's too much for me right now" she touched my face and said. I took her hand in mine and said "Alright, I'll wait for you to tell me what's wrong. But when you do, you have to tell me everything from first to last" I said. She looked into my eyes and said "I will". "Come, let's go now" I said then I dropped her home. It was first time that she hugged me while riding the bike.

This made me wonder what it could be and why couldn't she tell me now. We reached her home and that's when Kaitlyn came running. "Robert, I hope you don't mind but I need to tell Emilie something important she will see you tomorrow" said Kaitlyn. "O..o..okay sure" I said. Then they both went running towards their house. I wonder what was it. Little sad and lost in thoughts I went back to my home.
