" Ow! That must have hurt. " Ken scrunched his nose as if he was the one who fell down from the sea saw.
Heli, which he knew her name was after hearing it from the other kid's mouth several times.
It was not just a few days or weeks , several months had already passed since Heli moved in as his neighbour , watching her playing daily through his window which he only thought was a curiosity at first soon turned into his habit. And now he isn't planning to get rid of it soon.
But that wasn't the only thing he was fond of. He was hooked up with painting the things he liked. And today too he had finished his painting of a couple sparrow who had nested in the tree near in front of his room.

The giggling of the girl was heard making the boy stand up from his seat and run towards the window. He opened his window and let the sound in. It was like music to his ears.
" Heli, your favourite apple pie is ready. Come here, have some." Her mother called.
'Apple pie? It's her favourite? " with a smiling face he said to himself.
" Yay my favourite! Coming mom." Upon hearing the word apple pie, Heli rushed towards her.
"Mom! Mom! Mom!" Ken called his mom rushing towards the kitchen.
"Are you hungry honey? Do you want anything?" His mom asked, seeing Ken's eyes that looked studious.
"Mom, teach me how to make the most delicious apple pie? Can you help me?"
With his innocent eyes he asked his mom.
With pitiful eyes she replied, "Sorry honey but I don’t know how to make a pie."
He went back to his room without speaking a word with mournful eyes.
From the dining table, Ken's dad was perceiving everything.
He went to ken's room with a piece of paper and handed it to ken.
"What is this dad? Why are you giving me this paper?" Ken asked his dad, confused .
"This is a recipe of apple pie that was handed to me by my grandma and was retained by me." His dad told him handing the recipe.
Ken was contented holding the recipe and kept it in the box .

His inquisitiveness was at the peak point so he decided to paint the picture of a girl named Heli ,his first love.
'This is not the right colour , her eyes are More bright' he frowned as he started mixing the colors again.
Decorating the different colours in a table he started collecting the brushes. ' round , flat, bright, filbert, fan , oh no where are the other brushes." He soliloquised.
' Found yeh'
The giggling sound appeared again and he rushed towards the window.
It became his proclivity to watch the girl play.
