No dream, no lie

After settling the heat, the two groups parted their way. It was a long haul for Sia. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. She thought about her imprudent action just now. She could hardly reckon of herself playing such witless bet with someone who she had never known.

Sia rolled her hand over her forehead to reduce the pain.

🅂🄸🄰 : I'm feeling a bit dizzy, I'll go back first, bye Anna, bye Alice.

🄰🄽🄽🄰 : You are going back so soon,... you are such a wet blanket Sia!

-Ugh...I don't want to say anything now.💫

Sia turned around and left.

🄰🄻🄸🄲🄴 : Kio Harley, have you heard of this name before?

🄰🄽🄽🄰 : Now that you have mentioned it, I feel like I have read this name somewhere... I can't remember where.

🄰🄻🄸🄲🄴 : Kio, Kio Harley,...by Kio Harley...

🄰🄽🄽🄰 : Oh yeah!

🄰🄻🄸🄲🄴 : No, it can't be.

Anna and Alice were staggered when they faced each other. Anna took out her phone from her purse and searched for his name on the internet. She found his picture with his name written.

🄰🄽🄽🄰 : Yes, he is a writer. I've even read few of his romantic novels. Look at this. He is so hot in this picture.

Alice peeps into Anna's phone.

🄰🄻🄸🄲🄴 : Sia is lucky. (Sia gets to date such a famous writer. He is good both in looks and money. What is so special about her. I tried so hard to impress him and let Sia down, but nothing worked.)

On the other way, the two boys were discussing the same incidence.

🅁🄰🅄🄻 : I can't swallow that you asked her to date straight away. I thought you could only write, but you are also a master of wooing girls.

🄺🄸🄾 : Shut up. It is just that she tried to insult me and my work.

🅁🄰🅄🄻 : (sarcasm) Yeah I could see it from the way you looked at her. I know that you hated her from the beginning. You were staring at her, because you didn't like her. You wanted her to talk to you because she was annoying... right !!

Kio blushed.

🄺🄸🄾 : I was not interested in her. I came to a cheap public restaurant because I wanted to interact with common people. I found her character fun, and wanted to use it for my new book.

🅁🄰🅄🄻 : (Well I never said that you were 'interested' in her. You said that yourself.)

Sia reached her room and threw herself onto the bed.

- Such a bad day it was. I hope it is just a dream. What was I thinking of...having a bet. I haven't grown up,... have I. Sleep Sia, go to sleep as fast as you can. When you wake up tomorrow, everything will be bygone. This event will vanish like a bad dream.

Sia reached the university and attended her classes like usual. There was no difference in her world. She started to accept that everything that happened yesterday was a dream. Everytime she closed her eyes, the taste of sweet garlic and the smell of that dish would come to her mind.

- Let it slip away.

The day's lectures had finished and Sia came out of the classroom. She saw Kio Harley standing near the gate.

-😲 Ohh, I'm hallucinating. Is my blood sugar low today.

She stopped for a moment and rubbed her eyes. She blinked her eyes rapidly until they were watery. She shook her head vigorously, then continued and ignored him.

🄺🄸🄾 : (What is this girl doing)

- I even felt him looking at me. You need a break Sia. How can I have illusions.

🄺🄸🄾 : Hey...Sia !

- My ears are ringing. God!

She covered her ears with her hands and walked at a faster pace. Kio began to chase her. He grabbed her by the hand and pulled closer.

🄺🄸🄾 : Why are you running away Sia.

Sia released her hand and stepped back stupefied.

🅂🄸🄰 : You... you are real.

🄺🄸🄾 : No... I'm a ghost. 👻... You thought it was a dream !?

Sia blushed and turned her head around.

🅂🄸🄰 : No... ! Why are you here?

🄺🄸🄾 : You are my girlfriend now... (isn't that obvious.)

🅂🄸🄰 : Why are you taking it so seriously ? I just wanted to muzzle Alice. She is at odds with me. She is always into keeping me on my toes. I wanted to give her a verbal smack on the face...

Sia's tone dropped to low.

🄺🄸🄾 : Why did you lie ?

🅂🄸🄰 : I never lied. What I said is true. Everything was true.
