TJL#14# She Is The One

Out Of Words

Diya's POV

" Why is that?" He asked me.

" It's just like that. I can't explain. It's complicated." I said.

" Means?" He asked. I sighed. He was enquiring about my cousins. I hate this topic so much as I don't have a lot to talk about them. We just use to meet in the occasions only. They don't talk to me, Rahul and Rudra to much. Just says hi hello, how are you. That's all.

" Why so cold towards cousins?" He asked me.

" Actually, we stayed out if country for a long period of time and we have an age gap. Yash who is the youngest of them is still 8 years older than me." I said trying to make him understand.

" What!!! I have also 7 years age gap with Ellie and Eddie. Now explain me how age is a factor here?" He asked.

" Age matters a lot. And your cousins are different from mine. Yours are sweet and mine are egoistic." I said truthfully.

" How do you know that? You can't tell that without trying to get along with anyone." He asked me.

" I tried to get along with them but they don't want to to that. So, I stopped trying." I said. He sighed.

" So, now you don't talk to them?" He asked me.

" I do but very short conversation." I mumbled.

" You should talk to the. May be they are not like that what you are thinking." He said and I nodded.

" I just tried a lot. I tried to talk to them, send them gifts and tried to make a friendship but they gave me a cold shoulder every time. They are not interested in talking to me. I don't know what is the bloody hell is wrong there." I said and sighed. He just looked at me for a while then looked away.

" Alright." He said.

" They won't want to accept me as their cousin." I said.

" Why is that?" He asked me looking at me weirdly.

" I think they don't like me." I said nodding my head.

" There is no reason to dislike you, Diya." He said. " This is a lame explanation." He replied.

" But they do. They hate me." I said.

" How are you so sure?" He asked me.

" I am not sure but they are always so cold towards me." I said.

" So, you think this is why they hate you?" He asked.

" What else can be the reason?" I asked.

" Hmm. Let's stop here cause I don't have any strong point to give you but I know there was something you can't see. Why someone will hate you without any reason when there is nothing in you to hate?" He said and I shook my head on his weird answer.

" Let's go and  have a walk." He said holding my hand and pulled me to stand beside him. Then started to walk. I started to walk beside him.

" It's beautiful." I kept telling again and again.

" Mmm hmm." I know he said.

" There is something in this beautiful nature. " I said and he chuckled. " I just want to have a relaxing day." I said. He chuckled.

" What?!" I asked narrowing my eyes.

" You are so cute." He said.

" What did you see that is cute in this now?" I said gesturing myself.

" Everything." He said and I rolled my eyes.

" Don't roll your eyes." He said and laughed.

" They might stuck in a awkward position." I said and sighed. " Still this is weird." I said and he laughed.

" I know it's weird." He said and chuckled.

" What a line!! Eyes might stuck in a awkward position!!!" I said and laughed at this.

" Yes, it's an epic line." He said.

" Yeah quite awkwardly epic." I said and he laughed.

" We all are awkwardly crazy in our clan. So, this is awkwardly epic." He said and I looked at him weirdly.

" You are awkwardly crazy?" I asked.

" Of course." He said.

" I thought only I, Rahul, Chhoti and Rudra we four accept that we are crazy without any hesitation. But I found you do it too." I said and he chuckled.

" And your Chhoti, she is definitely a one crazy girl but she is kinda cute. Cause she is just a source of happiness. See she is doing weird things just to make everyone smile. If I had a younger sister she might be like her. Cause, I know how crazy we actually are." He said and sighed. I just laughed.

" You don't even know how crazy we can be." I said to him.

" Yeah I can see how weirdly you guys dance in the middle of living room without bothering if the door is closed or not." He said and I remembered the incident and laughed.

" Well, it was really really crazy." He said. " But for some reason I felt it is cute." He said.

" I know th-" I was saying but suddenly my phone started to ring. I took it out and saw Asher is calling me. What's wrong!!! Why is this boy calling me now? Is everything alright!!!

" Hello, Asher." I said.

" Dee, main hoon." (Dee, it's me) I heard Chhoti.

" Haan, Chhoti bolo." (Yes, Chhoti tell me) I said.

" Main na dosto k sath ek movie dekhne ja rahi hoon. Please tum maa ko manage ker lena? Please?" She said in a cutest tone. I sighed deely.

" With whom?" I asked her.

" Main, Dani, Gabie, D, Juliet and Asher and Ardeyn. I will be back by 8. Can I go?" She asked me.

" Ok, go. Take care. Don't be late or else maasi will ground us both." I said.

" Thank you, Dee." She squealed.

" But wait a second. Tum Asher k phone sai kyun call ker rahi ho?" (Why are you calling with Asher's phone?) I asked her.

" Battery khatam hogyi Meri phone ki. Gher chhod ayi hoon.." (My phone is out of battery. I left it at home) she said.

" Ok. Just take care and give the phone to Asher." I said.

" Love you, Dee." She said and kissed on the phone. I shook my head.

" Hello, Diya." He said. " Hey, Ari don't run." I heard a rustling may be running after her.

" Hey, Asher, just take care of her and leave her safely at home. I am trusting you with her." I said seriously.

" Ok, will do that. Thanks and bye." He said and hung up. I shook my head.

" Kids!!!" I shook my head.

" And this Asher boy is Romeo kind of guy." Noel said. " But he needs to confess." He said.

" At least he is Romeo type of guy not all the time hiding feelings." I said. " Like someone else." I added. He chuckled.

" Really?" He asked.

" Yes. At least he confesses that he loves her. Never denies." I said.

" So, when had I denied that I love you?" He asked.

" You hadn't denied but -" suddenly I realized what he said. " What did you say?" I asked him.

" What did I say?" He asked smilingly.

" You said you love me." I said.

" Isn't it obvious?" He said turning to me. I was totally shocked and out of words when he leaned and whispered in my ear. " I love you."
