Do you want to go?

"You... you didn't have to do that!"

I didn't have to do that... but I will! Everyone needs to be treated with respect and I dream we live in a non-judgmental place. I'd have done it for anyone and I'd... do... it... for you!

Tears cascades through her eyes, she willingly smiles now and gives me a thankful look. I return her smile reassuringly. But her smile fades away in a split second and she turns back and says "I'm thankful for what you did, but you talking to me will get you into trouble, don't talk to me... it's better that way." What makes her think like that, anyone's free to talk to anyone they like, why is she scared? what makes her feel so scared, and stay constantly in a life of fear? So many unanswered questions, undoubted feelings, uncanny thoughts, abducted happiness!

What's your name?

"Why would you wanna know my name?"

It's just your Name.

"Si... Sienna !"

Sienna! pleased to meet you. I'm Edwin!

She nods her head and hurries to the other side of the road, she is scared! But I don't know what's got her so scared. Is it me? Or is it someone else who scares her constantly? She worries herself to make a two minute conversation and being a teacher I know that she's not the best with conversations! I can feel her ackwardness from head to toe while talking to someone. She might just be shy but her eyes keep telling me a different story. I sprint across the road and smile at her again and ask"Do you want to go?"

She says yes, but I could see the disappointment in her face. But I let her go, in all these twenty four years the one thing I learnt is giving a person their personal space. life is not a movie where you pick a girl with your broody eyes and a sports car and she comes with you! That's straight up creepy! Whenever she's ready! But I remind myself, not everyone's capable of showing their feelings, or sharing their problems! And I really feel she's in need of a friend!

"The restaurant closes at eight buddy, move your big body, I'm hungry!" Shook by Naren's loud voice, I'm brought back to the real world. Sienna swiftly walks away and I walk away the other side!

"She ain't that bad, but I for one know you're gonna get in trouble Eddy!" Abby pats my shoulder and looks at me.

Well, I'm just being friendly bro!

"Ya, you're just being friendly" .

Naren jumps like a small kid and shouts "Who cares, I'm craving for some yummy dinner, let's go... let's go!

What will I even do without these people. Abby is very understanding and friendly but he thinks a lot before making a decision and puts forward his brain before his heart. Though he thinks himself as a logical person... we all know he's a big softie inside. He works as a data analyst in a company.

Naren on the other side is like our younger brother who sounds a little annoying but the sweetest person you can ever see, he loves eating and make-up. Yes, he's the best make-up artist you'll ever find, he has his own spa and beauty parlour!

And I am just your normal guy who works as a teacher my fascination towards the language English is ample! A teacher in the morning and a writer in the dark! And my story is...

"WE ARE HERE, LET'S GO BOYS, LET'S CHUG SOME FOOD!!!"

Tee...hee
