CHAPTER - 11

Aiden's POV
I asked her to meet at a coffee shop near to her home. She can get to there in just five minutes by walking and I only need five minutes to get there by driving. I asked her to meet me by 4 in the evening and it's already 3. I shouldn't be late when I am the one who made the surprise.
I was knocked out of the thoughts when I heard my mom calling my name. I unlocked door of my bedroom to see my mother with an outfit with her. It was a combination of black jeans, t-shirt and a green shirt.

I wore it and went downstairs to see my dad. I was surprised to see him, but before I could tell him anything, he broke the silence by saying, "Oh, My young boy is going for a date!" Okay that was a surprise question and I don't even know why did I blushed when I heard it. I tried my best denying it and that's when I saw the clock. It's 3:53 already. I waved goodbye to all and without wasting a second more, I got in my car and drive off to the meeting place. By the time I reached, it was 3:58. I went inside the coffee shop and got a table for us. By the time I got seated, she came. Dressed in shorts, shirt and t-shirt, her hair in a messy bun, with not even a bit of make up, her natural beauty shone a bit more brightly. I was so lost in her beauty that I didn't realize she was standing in front of me until she greeted me with her Beautiful smile. I greeted back with my signature smile. We ordered two cups of cappuccino and waited for them to be served. After what it seems like a whole decade, I decided to talk. But before I can start, Geneva cut me off by asking, "what happened? Is everything alright? Why you needed to meet me?" Okay that was quick but before I could answer our drinks came. We drank them silently and as I know Geneva, she won't ask a person the same question repeatedly if she is sure that person heard the question and is ignoring it.
We drank them peacefully, and tbh, I felt much more relaxed. And there was a small smile on Gen's face, which is really important.

We finished the drinks and I asked the waiter to get us the bill. I paid the bill and left a small tip for the waiter, well that's how Woods family is. Okay, just joking. I am sure everyone is kind enough to give waiters a reward if they are good enough.

When I was leading Geneva to the car from coffee shop, she stated "Well this is kinda creepy cause you ain't telling anything. Well, you told you wanna meet me, but I guess there is a point in meeting someone. One thing can be to talk with that person, which you are not doing. And the other thing, well I don't think there is an another thing." and she giggled a bit, more like she giggled a bit nervously. Aww, even that is too adorable. Okay I might be appreciating every bit of her a much more than I used to, but I can't stop it. She is inexplicable and she is so her. She doesn't have to change a bit for anyone. She isn't perfect, but she is real. And that is something I love about her.

I didn't realized I was staring at her so intensely until she choked, I think fake choked fits the term perfectly. I giggled a bit and continued walking towards my car, with her following me. When I reached the car, I opened the passenger seat for Gen, being a gentleman and no need to doubt I am one. She smiled and got into the car. I got to the driver's seat and started driving to the destination.

Geneva's POV

After a long drive, we reached a beautiful lawn with a pretty few people, all seems to come in a group of two or more. There were dad-daughter duos (which was a sad but also a happy moment for me to see), couples (old and young, married and not), mother-son duos (which made me think about my brother, I surely do miss him). Before I could complete looking who all were there, Aiden came with what it seems like cloth and paint. And there were two of them. I gave him a questioning look to which he replied "These are lanterns. You can write a wish on it and send it to the sky." I know that, I ain't that dumb head who doesn't know anything about the lanterns. I have seen them in movies and always have wished to be part of lighting these lanterns. He handed over one to me and he back to me, our backs facing each other. I sat there thinking about what I needed the most. My father? No that is an impossible thing to come true. I thought hard, harder than ever. At last I understood what I needed the most. No kid should go through bullying, and n person should be treated badly. No kid should hurt themselves due to some one told them something they aren't. WORLD PEACE. That's what I wanted the most. I ain't being selfish, but that will give me peace too. I wrote on it, WORLD PEACE, in the best way I can.  I am sure Aiden will probably laugh at me if he saw this, but I ain't changing. But maybe he won't, cause he knew about me too much. As he used to be my best friend, and he still is. Well, at least in my mind. I took the lantern in my hands and stood near to Aiden. I raised the lantern above me and Aiden pull out a lighter to put fire on the black square thing. He do the same with his and we waited for the lantern to fill with gas. We slowly let it out into the sky and watched it flow with the other lanterns. It looked magical in the pitch black night sky. They truly looked like hundreds of tiny hot air balloons floating through the sky, slowly disappearing into the night sky. We waited for them to float away and slowly got into his car.

"Thank You", that was all I could tell him. He smiled and drove off. This was the best day ever, it was all I needed to ease the pain I suffer through. I smiled and looked out of the window, "he hasn't changed a bit" a small voice in my head told.
