TJL#14# She Is The One

Changing

Noel's POV

" Good morning, son." I saw my dad coming downstairs. He sat beside me on the balcony and checked my temperature putting his hand on my forehead if it is normal or not.

" Good morning, Dad." I said to him.

" Still feeling feverish?" He asked and I shook my head. He sighed.

I went to France for 3 days for a deal. I didn't want to go. Cause, 3 days without seeing Diya will make me dead. I argued a lot with Dad but I lost at last and I had to go. I came back home and wasn't feeling well. I got a fever. I usually don't get sick easily but don't know just how I got fever just for a 3 days trip. I came back home and last 3 days I didn't go to office as well. As you all know my mom. She overreacts for a normal thing there I got a fever.

" Take rest one more day." He said. I shook my head.

" I have a lot to do. I don't want to sit at home acting sick, Dad. I am fine and I don't like it when some one else does my works." I said.

" Did I ask you? I told you to take rest. Just get well soon and properly." He said.

" Do you know you are very stubborn, Dad?" I asked him irritatingly. He laughed. " How do mom tolerate you?" I asked him.

" Well, she has her own way." He said and I chuckled.

" Of course. Mom is a super woman. She can do anything even handle you." I said and he laughed.

" She can." He said.

" Good to hear that there is someone who can handle you." I said and he shook his head smilingly.

" Defeated to heart and she won it." He said and I chuckled.

" You are really bipolar, Dad. One moment you act like a hot headed guy the next moment you are all a loving husband when you see Mom around. How can you do that?" I asked him and he laughed.

" It's your mom who does everything creates crazy feeling inside me." He said. I shook my head. So dramatic!!!

" Overly dramatic." I said.

" Yeah, I know." He said.

" And you really are bipolar." I said to him.

" Thanks, Noel and I think you will be glad to know that you are inherited every attitude of mine. So, be proud of yourself boy." He said smirking at me. I shook my head.

" Yeah, I know." I said.

" Is there anything that I need to know?" Dad asked me. I sighed deeply. " You know you share with me." He said.

" I... " I took a deep breath." There is a girl." I said.

" There are a lot of girls out there." He said.

" I mean she works in our office." I said.

" There are a lot of girls who work in our office." Dad said.

" I mean she is one of the new apprentices." I said.

" There are 3 girls." Dad said.

" She is Diya." I said. He nodded.

" Oh, what's with her?" He asked. " Julie, coffee for us." Dad said as Julie was passing by.

" Yes, sir." She said and left.

" So what's with her?"  He asked me.

" I like her a lot. Hell, I love her." I said clutching my head.

" Really?" Dad asked.

" What made you think that I am joking!!! Definitely I won't joke about the serious matter." I said.

" Cause, you are confused between like and love, both are different." He said.

" I am not confused. I love her." I said and sighed.

" How do you know that?" He asked.

" I just know that. I never felt like this before. I know I love her." I said confidently.

" So sure?" He asked and I nodded.

" Good. Then what's wrong?" He asked me.

" She is ignoring me for a few days." I said and sighed.

" Why so?" He asked me.

" I don't know." I said.

" Does she have a boyfriend?" Dad asked.

" No, she doesn't." I said.

" May be she has you don't know." He said.

" She doesn't have any boyfriend." I said.

" Good then." He said.

" What will I do now?" I asked him.

" Stay at home for 2 more days." He said.

" What!!! Are you crazy, Dad?" I asked him shocked. " I am dying to see her." I said.

" I am telling that for your own good." He said.

" Which good?! What is good here?" I asked him.

" 2 things you can do with that. You can recover fully and you can understand how she is reacting not seeing you for a whole week. You can know her real feeling for you." He said. Oh, yes. I didn't think like that. I will do it though I was dying.

" Very good." Dad said.

" Ok, Dad if the plan works then thanks and if it doesn't work then no thanks." I said.

" Thank me, son. Cause this plan will definitely work, I know that." He said to me.

Diya's POV

" Are you done?" Mia asked me.

" Almost." I said pointing my sketch.

" Good. Come then let's go for lunch together. Jonny will join us." She said and I nodded. I wanted to ask her about Mr. Axton. I didn't see him this week. I was wondering where he was!!! He wasn't coming office. Is he ok or is he sick? I was getting restless.

" Mia?" I called her.

" Yes." She turned.

" Errr... Umm... I .. was asking .. " I was saying and stopped myself. Should I ask her!!!

" What happened, Diya?" She asked.

" Nothing. You go work. I will join you at lunch." I said and she walked out of the room.

" Where is he?!" I asked myself.

I tried to concentrate but I felt restlessness. I started my work but couldn't do more. It was lunch time and I walked out of room. I found Bianca and her friends standing there. I wanted to ignore them but suddenly Bianca called me and I stopped.

" Diya?" She called me.

" Yeah, tell me." I said as I stopped.

" It's my birthday tomorrow. Can you join my birthday party?" She said. I looked at her weirdly.

" You want me to join your party?" I asked her and she nodded. " Alright then I will." I said.

" Thanks you, Diya." She said and walked away.

Wow!!! That was new. Are they changing!!!!!
