“Hope you like the ambiance of this cafe for our date..” marks Maya as she tweeted her fingers with a gleeful smile.
“Pretty.” Noun Luth bluntly as he sip the latte and then as gently as he could, he place the cup upon the table.
“So what’s this case about?” Asked Luth shortly with an intensity of interest marks on his face.
Without hesitation, Maya pulled out the case file from her bag and passed it to Luth. In a trance, Luth began to briefly read through the notes and then he begun to look upon the photo of the delinquent youth. “So young yet so troubled..”
“His mum can’t handle him anymore..his involvement with street gangs, rioting and worst straw attempted robbery ..” State Maya.
“He’s still on the street though..” responded Luth.
“There’s seems to be something not right somewhere, there’s someone seems to be engaging most of the unfortunate youngsters with this kind of lowly activities..” said Maya grimly.
“They feel protected....” Noun Luth as he gaze solemnly upon his juvenile case. “Uzair Talha… what a pity, such a fine looking youth wasting himself away like this…” said Luth as he closes the file and place it in his suitcase.
“How’s Tia?” Asked Maya with earnest concern notes in her tone.
“She seems to be drifting away from me. She’s so close but yet too distant..” utters Luth sadly.
Maya places her hand upon Luth’s and said, “You’ve done well Luth. Just continue to be there for her..”
Luth look solemnly towards Maya and in a split moment he smile meekly.
“Awww my baby is back..” cried Maya sheepishly. “So this is our official date right?” Asked Maya with a wide grin.
“Errr, please I’m stick with my professionalism so nope..” Noun Luth sternly.
“Just what I’ve expected..” utters Maya as she twisted her lips and then a flashes a grin.
Tia breath in the air of courage as she cautiously approached Ian who was busying himself tidying and shoving his notes and books inside his locker. The guilt had progressively ignite her guts inside out. Ian, being Ian has always been a caring person, even though he could have been over doing it.
“Ian..” called Tia as she stood few inches away behind his back. “I’m sorry for being such an idiot..for portraying that kind of attitude..”
In a brisk, Ian turned to face her with a smile. “Me too.. I shouldn’t be nosy.. I should be more aware about your situation, your feelings before I speak..”
“I should appreciate that. At least, you are there during my darkest days.” Utters Tia. Which is true..after Iris passing, things just turns ridiculously topsy turvy for her. Iris has been her confiding soul, her fire starter, someone whom she’s has always been close with. Probably their close age gap that seems to make their siblings bond extraordinarily close. Each time, during his off days working from the cafeteria, he will follow Tia to her favourite spots such as the lake, parks or cafe and keep her company. Not forgetting Iris will never fail to brings along his camera for photo shooting has been his passion. During those precious moments were the time where both of them will chat, giggle, debate and made up. Therefore, after Iris sudden death, Tia seems to be like a bubble floating aimlessly upon the ocean. Luth had unknowingly shut himself off from the world and even to her presence much to her despair. “Am I to blame?” Rant her thoughts sorrowfully.
However, Ian presence seems to be the burning courage igniting her soul. He pushed her to move on even though it’s wasn’t easy on her part.
“Apologise accepted ..” marked Ian as he playfully pinch Tia’s right cheek of her face. “I would love to walk home with you today but I’m sorry darling, I’ve got paper discussion in a while. But if you want to wait for me, it will be like almost three hours..”
“Oh.. it’s okay Ian .. I’m good.” Said Tia with an earnest smile. She knew Ian will be sitting for his finale examination soon, therefore it won’t be appropriate if she’s hoarding on to his schedule just to keep her company. “Enjoy your studies darling.. see you tomorrow..”
“Thanks sweetie.” Marked Ian as he gived a mushy looked of lovey dopey dude.
“Eweee gross Ian…” state Tia with full annoyance.
“Haahaa!” Chuckle Ian. “Be back home early and please be back in school on time tomorrow ..”
“Will do your Highness..” utters Tia with a laughter.
“Oh shut up and please go back home..” marks Ian.
