Chapter 5

      (The next day) "Mom!" Iris shouted "What??! Don't shout!" Ireen said as she flipped the pancake "I'm going somewhere with my friend Joshua" Iris said "WHAT??!!! WHO'S JOSHUA??!! DON'T TELL ME YOU HAVE A BO-" "Mom.. That's too much.." Iris said, "Oh.. I'm sorry. I want to meet him" Ireen said "Fine.. He'll be here for some time, I guess.." Iris said. Then after some time Iris stayed in the living room for a while "Geezz... He told me that he'll come here early!" Iris said as she sighed. *knock knock* "Who's there?" Iris asked as she slowly went to the door, "It's Joshua!" Then Iris open the door and sighed in relief "You just said you will come here early.." Iris said as she sat down on the living room's floor "Joshua.. My mom wants to meet you" Iris said "Hi, what's your name?" Ireen asked "Mom.." Iris said quietly "The name is Joshua.. It's nice to meet you, miss" Joshua said as he bowed down and sat beside Iris. "Oh how it is nice to meet you, Joshua" Ireen said smiling "I heard that both of you will go to the mystical places" Ireen said "If you don't mind.. May we leave later?" Joshua said as he was looking down "Didn't you told me that we will leave early morning???" Iris said in confusion "Yah, I planned to move it to later because we have to pack our stuff for that.. To be honest, we will might be gone for several days" Joshua said as he was still looking down "Joshua.. Please protect Iris at all times.. Don't let her get hurt in any situations.." Ireen begged "I will protect her at all cause.." Joshua said as he looked at Ireen "What's your name then.." Joshua asked " My name is Ireen" she said politely. Then Iris and Joshua packed their stuff for the journey, "Iris?" "Yes?"
"Are you sure that.. You will come with me?"
"Of course! How will I even leave you?"
"I'm just worried about you.."
"Don't worry, I can handle this journey"
