I’m trying to be easy with him. It’s not like, he’s rude with me and that thing scared me the most.
I would have accepted different things. But concern and caring is not my kind of thing. I have worked so hard on myself. I thought nobody can pull those walls down. He is trying to be with me and it’s really the best day for me too. I have to be cautious around him that’s all I can do for now.
“ What Navin is doing?” He caught my attention, why this question suddenly?
“ He’s a principal software engineer in Bangalore, Why?” He never asked me those questions.
“ Nothing, just asking. I was just thinking. I guess” He shrugged. And I don’t want to think anything either.
“ It’s Saturday, Dad will be here in an hour. How if we go out for some time. If you want or we can start our work” I think about that, I’m really exhausted to do any kind of work right now.
“ I’ll go with the first option,” I said, Smiled at him and get up.
“ Where you want to go then, Wait! Library and Museum are not in an option” He said sarcastically.
“ You decide then, I don’t know anything”  His mouth hung open as I said that, I laughed on his expressions.
“ Are you serious? It’s been months since you are here. And you are saying you haven’t been in anywhere?” His shock was a hypocrite. He does know who am I!
I opened the car door, plopped down on the seat, and fold my arms. I can feel his irritating laughing voice from here.
He opened his door and start the car.
“ Okay, Don’t pout, What if I’m a serial killer,” He asked laughing. I really want to scream to stop him from laughing this hysterically. 
I turned on my sit to look at him. “ First thing, I’m not pouting, Second thing, I know you are not a serial killer. So shut up! and drive your damn car” I gave my stern expression and then flutter my eyelids so he can understand I’m joking around with him.
He was serious for a second and watching me as if I have ten heads. And started chuckling. Damn him!  There’s nothing I can do.
“ Dammit, You shouldn’t have done that Ishita, you looked really beautiful being feisty,” He said chuckling. 
“ Awhh, Thanks!  I’ll take that positively”
We drove a few miles, He showed me his junior college, his favourite lake, His favourite ice cream parlour from where We brought many carton’s. His old house. I had been thinking this whole time, he’s born with wealth. But No! He’s real struggler and practical.
His whole life was plane like a paper and an Open book. It feels really good to see and hear people’s happy life stories.
My phone rang in the park we have been sitting for one hour.
“ Hi Mr. Siraj” I greet him, It’s been days since he'd called me. Ethan was making weird faces telling me to put that call on speakerphone. I had to obey.
“ Hello, you pretty head,” Mr. Siraj said. I tried to turn off the loudspeaker, But Ethan restraint my activity.
God, it’ll be really uncomfortable for me to have him hear this conversation.
“ You haven’t called yesterday” Shit! I forget about the thing. “ Um_ Sorry” I apologize.
“ Not accepted, and I’m coming to have that coffee and you’ll make them as many as I want!  now say sorry again!” He continued, Ethan was laughing hysterically. I swear I’ll punch him.
“I am so sorry, come soon,” I said politely.
“ Okay, granted! I’ll be there in a day or two, and I’ll call you tomorrow” I nod and he Hung up.
There was the only noise in this silent park, it was Ethan’s, “ I swear Ethan I’ll break your face with my bare hands, please stop for their sake!” I scolded
Nahhh!! It will not be useful at all. But it was fuel in his laughter.
