Narrator's POV

"So he didn't ignore her huh?"

"Yes, he didn't. Did you notice his expressions? Did you see the way he looks at her?"

"Arthur? Why are you suddenly quite? I asked you something, what do you think about that?"

"Yea, his expressions says it all. The way he looks at her confirms it. That's the same way I look at you Grace. Perhaps that child...."

"I'm not dreaming that I can be sure of. Perhaps that child really... Arthur, I don't think that he knows about this. I think he will definitely think this the other way."

"Yes he will think this as a temporary interest as she is new in their group. He will deny all his feelings and thoughts. He has always been in control of everything which is his. I'm sure his thoughts are no different, he can control them too if he wants."

"But this is the only thing which no one can control, isn't it? So maybe....maybe he realises it."

"I think he needs help Grace. Just a little push will do. We need to help him"

"Yes I'm excited to do that"

The two of them walked in the hallway hand in hand, all smiles.

"Arthur look. Those people are working on the fountain. They are polishing the rough edges. Ah our son did this right?"

"Oh, so he is one step ahead than me. I can't believe it. He dotes on her. That too this much. He really left me behind."

"What are you talking about? He has definitely got your genes to do that. But he has got my brains and so he is one step ahead of you. What do you think?"

"Hehe, whatever my wife says goes"

In a certain room

"Is this for real? He clearly declared that she was his and we aren't allowed to lay a hand on her. But how can you be so stupid that you don't even understand this simple thing?"

"Don't think too much Greame. That guy has no idea about things like this. He has always been uninterested in this stuff, hasn't he? So what's the point in racking your brains?"

"That's true Michael but maybe this time I'm true. Maybe he is really interested in this."

"Whatever it is I'm already excited to watch this drama go on. The first episode was interesting afterall"

"What first episode are you guys talking about?", John asked the boys as he walked in Greame's room.

"Aren't you curious about your brother's behaviour today. What he did today in the garden and later in the hall explains it all. Ricky is calling all those scenes as the first episode of this drama in which Daniel is the main lead and Kim is the female lead."

"So you guys saw the garden 'scene' too. Well I'm also interested in this drama."

"You saw that too?"

"Yea definitely. I sneaked in on purpose to watch them when I found that only those two were in the garden"

"What do you mean John ?"

"What I mean is that you saw the second episode today. You missed the first one last night"

"WHAT?" All of them asked in unison.

"Hey hey calm down. I'll tell you what happened"

..........

"I can't believe this. Oy oy this is a great piece of news. This is definitely the legendary 'first sight' thing. It only happens to the legends though."

"See, so I'm nearly right after all. Hehe"

"Okay Greame we'll give you this one. But why did we miss that? We could have also watched the first episode. How come only you got to see that?"

"Hey you guys said this is drama right? So that makes us supporting actors if they are the main leads. Let's just say that my entry was in the first episode itself, I'm the male lead' s brother afterall. You guys had entry in second episode."

"We buy the explanation John. So should we act as supporting actors. He will need help I'm sure of it"

"Yes Greame, I'm in the drama!", Ricky was excited.

"We are too. Don't leave us out."

"Okay so let's see what happens next. We have to give them chances and continuously push them."

"You'll have a major role at home."

"Yup yup and you guys at university."

"I think we could include the girls too. I'm sure they have noticed it too."

"Let's see their reactions first then we'll decide",Michael said.

"Okay"

In girls' room....

"I'm so happy. I can't describe it", Maria exclaimed.

"Hey keep your voice down, Kim's sleeping", Justine said.

"Let's go to our room. Come on"

In Justine's and Christie's room....

"So whatever I'm thinking is the same thing you guys are thinking right?", Maria asked.

"Yes probably."

"But let's make this clear. She is our friend right? I mean like she is the only one whom we liked so far. We've made her one of us. She's nice and sweet. She doesn't care about our background at all and likes to spend time with us. I love her, I think you girls love her too. So if she's happy I'm happy. That's why I'll support her decisions. After so many years we finally made a friend so I don't wanna loose her", Justine said.

"Now that was some speech, I'm quite moved," Christina said.

"Hey you know I'm serious so stop joking around."

"Okay. So let me ask does anyone have a crush on Daniel? Does anyone like him?"

"Nope. I don't," Justine said.

"Yes I agree too. So far I've just seen him as a friend and that's all. He is charming there's no denying that but he's on a different league," Christina said.

"So we are clear on first part." Maria said and continued. "So now tell me your thoughts on today. You know what I mean."

"I so surprised at that. That was too much for me take, specially after knowing Daniel for these many years", Justine said.

"Yea we all grew up together. This is first for me too. But I think we should get used to do that now. His eyes were giving away all the coldness on his face," Christina stated.

"Yup so I guess he isn't aware of it himself. He will deny all, I'm sure of it," Maria said.

"But what about her. She isn't aware of anything. She's total clueless. Didn't you see her today? She was confused. She didn't knew why we were smiling. Also she didn't mind to whatever he said. She'll think that it's normal. Am I not right?"

"You are right Justine. But you know I think we should do something. As for her we can just know her thoughts after some development. Daniel seems to be interested in her, so maybe he'll try to get close to her. After that we can ask her about him."

"That's a great plan, Maria, but what if he doesn't try to get close to her. If he distanced himself from her then.... I think it's no use....."

"And that's where we come in", suddenly they heard a boyish voice.
