Ep-6" promise? Promise."

(in class Miyoko is observing Ray, and Ray is listening music. Erik and siya are outside.)

(Miyoko inside: I wonder what he is listening...I want to listen to it too.)

(Ray checks his mobile. Removes his earphones and stays still, deep thinking)

(Miyoko inside: he's suddenly stopped listening to music. The look on his face is so cold. I wonder what he's thinking.)

(Eugeo goes to Ray)

(Miyoko inside: oh Eugeo, Ray's looking fine now. I'm glad Eugeo came.)

.

(Class ends)

Teacher: Miyoko, Eugeo collect all the copies and bring them to the office.

Both: yes sir.

(Miyoko, Eugeo on way to the office.)

Miyoko: you and Ray are quite close.

Eugeo: yeah....you can say that.

Why? Suddenly?

Miyoko: it was just earlier Ray was looking depressed, exactly not depressed. He was looking down. He had this cold look on his face. Then you came and he was fine again.

(Eugeo inside: maybe she was worrying about him)

Eugeo: well...you know because his-

(Eugeo inside: I shouldn't be the one to tell her about this.)

Miyoko: what were you saying?

Eugeo: well as you know Miyoko he's a weird creature. He's the type who doesn't reach out to someone easily when he's feeling down or depressed. Sometimes When I notice him like that I manage to cheer him up somehow.

Miyoko: oh...

Eugeo: yeah so if he reach out to us then we just have to make sure that we're there for him and even if he doesn't then we, who cares about him, it is our duty to cheer him up. Right?

Miyoko: definitely! (Smiles)

.

(At night, Miyoko doing the dishes. Door bell rings. Miyoko's mother opens the door)

Miyoko's mother: Miyoko!! Open the door)

(Miyoko opens the gate)

Miyoko: Ray?

Ray: well, you wanted this book as fast as you can right?

Miyoko: yeah thank you so much. But you could give it to me at the school.

Ray: yeah...well...

Miyoko: anyways thanks. (Smiles)

Ray: your welcome. And...

Miyoko: and?

Ray: and... If you don't mind... would you like to...take a walk with me right now.

Miyoko: ofcourse! I'd be happy to. Give me two minutes.

Ray: yeah.

(Ray inside: I'm glad she didn't mind. I called Eugeo too but he didn't answer his phone.)

(Miyoko arrives, both walking)

Ray: I'm sorry if you were busy.

Miyoko: no no I wasn't busy.

Ray: okay

Miyoko: what were you doing?

Ray: I was just thinking and sitting idle.

Miyoko: what were you thinking?

Ray: it's just my mom works most of the time. So I was just kind of missing her.

Miyoko: oh

Ray: I know it's bit childish. Sorry it's a boring topic. We should talk about something else.

(Miyoko inside: it's his way of reaching out to me. He's feeling lonely, alone. He's looking sad.)

Miyoko: noo, I want to hear about it more.

Ray: oh

Miyoko: tell me about your parents.

Ray: you know my parents are divorced. And I'm living with my mom right now.

Miyoko: ohh

Ray: yeah...but my mom loves me a lot. Most of the time she works but when she's free, she plays basketball with me. She looks amazing when she plays. I want to be like her.

Miyoko: you do like to play with your mom very much don't you?

Ray: yeah...back then my father didn't allow my mom to play. So we sneak out when he's at work and play.

Miyoko: ohh

Ray: it's a little sad to hear, but it was fun in a way. (Smiles)

Miyoko: really?

Ray: yeah... It was like a secret mission for us.(laughs)

(Miyoko smiles)

(Miyoko inside: he's looking fine now)

Miyoko: I'd like to see you both play sometime.

Ray: really? I'll invite you next time.

Miyoko: I'm looking forward to it.

By the way, can you give me your number?

Ray: yeah I was also about to ask. Here's my number.

Miyoko: gotcha!

Ray: it'd be better if you don't text me. I don't like much texting.

Miyoko: you're really weird you know?

(Ray smiles)

Miyoko: Fine! I'll call you for smallest things but will never text you okay?

Ray: yup!

Well...thank you for listening me out.

Miyoko: oh it's fine.

I will always there for you when you need someone to talk. Just like today just try to reach out to me once. I'll always be there to hold your hand. I'm sorry it sounds a little weir–

(Ray moves his little finger towards Miyoko)

Ray: promise?

(Miyoko looks at Ray and smiles)

Miyoko: promise.
