Milo!!

Later that night, Dhruv came into Kaya and Eun Woo's room; he opened the door and he saw they both were sleeping, then Dhruv said loudly,"Hey! Sleepos!! Wake up now...Kaya wake up."

But they didn't wake up then Dhruv made Kaya sit while she was sleeping; shook her by holding her with her shoulders and Kaya said while half sleeping,"Ah!!! Dhruv what in hell do you want?"

Dhruv said irritatingly,"I was just waking you up because dinner is ready." ... Kaya said, "Can't you wake me up normally?"

Dhruv sighed inwardly,"I tried, but sometimes those normal ways don't work." Kaya said,"Let me sleep." and she again lay down while covering her face with pillow.

Dhruv turned on music on his mobile and again made Kaya sit; she almost screamed, "I'm up! Stop this thing."

Meanwhile, Eun Woo woke up and Dhruv looked at him with excitingly,"Thank God!! At least, you wake up." Eun Woo gave out a sleepy smile and went to bathroom while he turned back; looked at Dhruv with cold eyes, "Let her sleep. We will come down soon."

His cold gaze send shivers down Dhruv's spine. Music got stopped and Dhruv in astonishment went out of the room while Kaya was again in deep slumber.

Dhruv on reaching outside the room looked at the closed door then went towards his room and he met Ha Won at corridor. Ha Won saw that Dhruv was confused, shocked and scared at the same time; he asked him,"What's with you man?"

He saw him coming from Eun Woo's room and looking at Dhruv's face; he understood that he has just gone through the glimpse of his coldness.

Dhruv placed his hand under his chin like he is thinking something very serious,"Is Eun Woo alright?" Ha Won laughed and said,"You shouldn't barge into others' room without permission." Dhruv quickly understood, what he was trying to say.

Dhruv was trying to wake up the sleeping beauty who was sleeping beside Eun Woo and also even at the time when she doesn't want to. On the top of that, he was being so noisy disturbing Eun Woo too. How could he tolerate??

Eun Woo came out of the bathroom. He sat beside Kaya and told her so gently, "You wanna wake up? Or do you want me to bring your dinner here?" Hearing his voice, Kaya smiled unconsciously. Watching her smile, Eun Woo's heart fluttered.

He again said softly while patting her head, "Kaya??" She got up but didn't open her eyes and went to bathroom with her eyes closed. Eun Woo laughed and said,"How can she move with her eyes closed?"

After sometime, Kaya came out and they went down to have dinner.

Kaya sat beside Su Yeon and Dhruv sat beside Kaya while Eun Woo sat next to Dhruv. Su Yeon looked at Kaya and said mockingly, "Finally, you two silly; lazy people are up."

Kaya said in a sleepy low voice,"Give me food. I'm so hungry." No one answered her, because she said in very low voice that even Su Yeon and Dhruv were not able to listen.

"We are going out after dinner. Time to enjoy. Bonfire or something. Ok guys."Ha Won said with excitement in his eyes. Eun Woo said, "Ok!"

Su Yeon and Dhruv nodded while Kaya said didn't said anything as she was lying down with her head down on the table.

Few minutes later, Kaya got up from her chair. Everyone looked at her that where is she going now but nobody asked her because she was not talking to anyone since she has woke up.

She went to kitchen where Dong Hwa and Ji Wook were cooking and Kaya said while putting her hands into her jeans' back pockets,"Can i help you with something, guys?"

Dong Hwa looked towards Kaya; he had a knife in his hands as he was cutting some vegetables; his apron was completely dirty with all those cooking stains while Ji Wook didn't said anything as he was cooking noodles, no mention both were looking heavenly gorgeous. Dong Hwa was little shorter than others; almost 5'8" but Ji Wook was of same height as Eun Woo and Ha Won about 6 feet; all with masculine body.

But Kaya didn't paid any heed to those two gorgeous cooks because the only thing in her mind was a shot of message [I'm coming. I know where you are. For how long are you gonna ignore me?]

*About one and half hour ago*

Kaya and Eun Woo's room

She came out of the bathroom after taking shower and Eun Woo went in. She went near her bed, took her phone and saw there was a text message from unknown number, [I'm coming. I know where you are. For how long are you gonna ignore me?]

Her mind started working with the speed of light and the first person who appeared in her mind was Sam...But she wanted to confirm, so she dialled a number and after few bells, someone picked up the phone.

A girl on the other side of the phone said happily and with excitement, "Little princess!!" Kaya said,"Doing well??" The girl said,"Work is on. Where in the world you are right now? I missed you my girl." Kaya smiled on listening to the girl.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The girl on the other side was Kyra. She was Kaya's senior in the school and also her neighbour and her cousin. Their names were also similar. When Kaya was born she was five years old. Kyra was like and elder sister to Kaya.

But then she got a job offer from an IT company in Bengaluru, she moved there. After that, they both got busy in their lives. They hardly got into touch with each other.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kyra said,"What do you need, princess?" She understands Kaya very well, so she knew that what's with the call and Kaya was also comfortable and habitual to her straight forward nature. They never ask each other about anything, till they are not feeling comfortable to tell.

Kaya said sweetly, "I'm texting you a number. I want every detail. Take your time. No hurry." Kyra laughingly said, "Your wish is granted Little princess. I"ll email you. Take care!!" Kaya said, "Bye!!" and she hung up the call.

Then she went to sleep.

"Present Day"

In the Kitchen of the farm house on private island of Eun Woo.

Then Dong Hwa said,"Help us to set the table." Kaya said,"Ok boss!" Then they set the table and table was completely filled with Korean cuisine;Mandoo(Dumplings), Naengguk (chilled soup) seasoned with little soy sauce and sesame oil, steamed rice, Kimchi (fermented vegetables) and Japchae(stir fried glass noodles). Everyone started eating dinner.

But, Kaya and Dhruv couldn't eat properly with chopsticks; Eun Woo noticed Kaya and then suddenly went to kitchen while everyone just looked at him and he came back with spoon in his hands.

He went near Kaya;took the chopsticks out of her hand and said while giving her spoon,"We have spoons here." Kaya smiled and said, "Thanks buddy."

Meanwhile,Dhruv lifted his neck towards right side and smiled,"I think I also need one." Eun Woo got fumbled, he didn't said anything and he brought the whole cutlery caddy and putted that on the table infront of Dhruv while looking him with cold furious eyes.

Dong Hwa thought, 'These kids have really got some guts.'

Then Eun Woo sat down on his chair and started eating food.

Few minutes later, Dhruv said,"Oh no!! Its raining outside." Ha Won got up and ran to the window and said while opening the window, "Now we can't go out."

Ji Wook said,"Its ok. We can watch a movie or just sing and dance." Eun Woo said to Ha Won,"Finish your dinner, at least." Then after sometime, they finish the food. Ha Won and Eun Woo did the dishes.

After having dinner, other ones went to living room while Kaya went to her room. She checked her emails.

Then she took her ipad and went to the living room.

Living room had cream coloured walls with a big white window on a wall and two small white windows on other wall and white curtains. In the centre, there was a custom white cocktail table, blue coloured banquette with striped pillows and a sapphire coloured rug with an LED screen on a wall.

Kaya sat on rug with her arms resting on the table with an ipad in her hands. While Ji Wook, Su Yeon, Dhruv and Dong Hwa were sitting on the banquette. Su Yeon asked Kaya, "You wanna draw now??" Kaya nodded and started drawing.

Meanwhile, Dhruv whispered in Su Yeon's ear, "What happened to her? She's been looking lost." Su Yeon said, "Sam was calling her lately." Dhruv twisted his mouth, then Su Yeon whispered, "No! Dont say anything! She doesn't want to spoil others' mood that's why she didn't tell anybody."

Meanwhile, Eun Woo and Ha Won came after cleaning the dishes. Ha Won sat on the banquette and Eun Woo sat beside Kaya.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at Eun Woo, in response Eun Woo smiled to her. Seeing his wide smile due to which his eyes were almost closed. She couldn't help but smiled too.

Watching at their lovely moment, everyone was like, ".....!!"

Eun Woo lowered his neck and leaned close to Kaya; Kaya being able to feel his closeness turned beet reed and got still. He asked, "What are you drawing?"

His closeness was electrifying her body, but she couldn't understand what was happening to her. On the contrast, Eun Woo was also acting without using his nerves. He just liked to stay near her, the feeling was inexplicable for him too.

Kaya gained the courage to speak,"When i will complete you'll get to know." she said without looking at him. Eun Woo said, "I'm waiting then." and she again started drawing.

After few minutes, Ha Won said,"We should play Never Have I Ever." Dhruv said excitedly, "Let's talk about anything.....like anything." Dong Hwa said,"I will bring the wine." Then he brought some wine.

As their glasses were filled, Su Yeon stood up and held her glass high, "For the start of this exciting trip. Cheers!!!" Everyone raise their glass high and said,"Cheers!!" while drank a sip of their wine. But Kaya gulped down the whole glass of wine and flashed a big grin on her face.

Looking at her gulping wine in one go, Ji Wook spoke, "Woo!! Woo!! Someone is ready to get drained already."

Kaya shrugged her shoulders. "I've got high tolerance, especially for wine." Everyone laughed at her sarcastic tone. "The day i was drunk, i had two bottles of soju and on the top of that some beer. Then you can imagine."

Then Dong Hwa said,"Let's start the game round. Go wild in your fantasies." He winked while everyone just laughed.

Dhruv suddenly said, "Ok! Let me start the round." He paused for a while then smiled mischievously, "Never have i ever... had a make makeout during the class." Nobody drank, then Dhruv said, "Is there nobody who has done this? Pheeww!! I have to drink." He drank almost half of the glass of wine. Kaya said, "Here goes my boy!!!" She made a hand gesture of gun with her fingers and made a gun shooting sound while shooting him with his fingers.

Then Su Yeon said, "My turn!! Uhm...mm.... Never have i ever beated someone." Su Yeon was watching everyone nobody took a sip but then Kaya and Eun Woo took a shot at the same time coincidentally.

When Kaya drank, everyone's eyes came out of their sockets but there was one man who was impressed and smiling and he was none other than Eun Woo.

Su Yeon asked in shock,"Have you really beaten someone?" Kaya put her stylus pen down on the table and nodded in yes while raising her brows up and making a poker face.

Ha Won in excitement, "What happened?? A soft beauty like you really beaten someone. It's making me more curious."

Kaya said, "It was a long ago!! A boy hurted my dog and i beated him."

Su Yeon sighed, "That's it!?"

Dhruv also added, "Its a dreadful story. You will get scared of her."

Then Kaya listened a dark hoarse voice, "Tell us the whole story?" She was startled when she turned towards the source of sound and saw sparkling green hazel eyes on which hair locks were falling.

She felt goosebumps down on her spine. Then she suddenly looked away. Seeing her behaviour, Eun Woo also smiled while others were enjoying this.

"So...the story is long..." and she started telling them about the incident when she beated a guy.

**********************************************

*10 years ago*

Shimla

Kaya was in a park with her golden retriever pet dog, Milo as everyday. There was a little boy in her neighbourhood who was of same age as Kaya, 13 years old named, Neel. Milo never liked him and whenever he saw him, he used to bark at him because when Milo was younger, Neel used to tease him.

One day she was walking silently in a park with Milo, when Neel came from behind riding a bicycle while bending down from bicycle, he opened Milo's leash and rode away while laughing. After seeing him, Milo ran after his bicycle, "Bow- wow!! Bow- wow!!" and Kaya ran after Milo, "Milo!! Stopp!! Miiloo!!" But Kaya tripped over a stone, fell on the ground and hurt her knee badly, it was bleeding because it has hitted a stone. She didn't notice that she was hurted.

Meanwhile, Neel went on the road, he crossed the road but Milo was hitted by a car. Kaya suddenly got up and went near Milo. He was lying on the road hurted badly, there was blood all around, she started crying.

Seeing Milo like this, Neel started crying and he ran way as he became so scared.

Then the car owner of the car which hitted Milo, knew Kaya as everyone in the surrounding knew that she is Dr. Rai's grand daughter. He took Kaya with Milo to a veterinary hospital. Kaya's knee was bleeding but at that time she didn't feel any pain as all of her concerns were about Milo.

Milo was admitted in the hospital, later Kaya's grandpa(Dr. Harish Rai) also came to hospital. And doctor told him, "Hello, Dr. Harish!" He asked,"Hi!! What about Milo?" Doctor took him to Milo's hospital room where Milo was lying unconscious on bed, terribly injuried and Kaya's was looking at him, crying, her knee was hurt; her clothes had Milo's blood stains and she was caressing his fur, "Wake up Milo. You will be fine soon. I will come earlier from the school everyday, i promise. Wake up."

He said, "Look at his condition and your grand-daughter is insisting to save him. She is not even letting us to dress her wound." Dr Rai said,"Is there any chance?" The doctor shook his head, "Almost nil, but at any terms if he get saved he won't be able to move ever after." Grandpa Rai further asked while looking at her beloved granddaughter, "How many days then?" The doctor said,"Can't say anything but two or three or may be not."

Then Grandpa Rai went to Kaya, sat down on his knees and said,"Little princess...." Kaya turned towards her grandpa and started crying more heavily,"Grandpa, tell the doctor to cure him.Tell him, i know he is grandma's friend. He will listen you."

He hugged her and tell her,"Shh!! Stop crying. Doctor can't save him. He is so injured and if any how he get cured, he would never be able to even move. Come with me. We have to dress your wound otherwise, your wound will get worse. Also, change your clothes."

Kaya instead of listening him, cried further,"We will hire a nurse for him. Tell them to save him. I will not go anywhere. I will stay with Milo." Seeing her stubbornnes for the first time, he wasn't able to say her anything. Then her grandpa dressed her wound while she was sitting beside Milo and Kyra brought her a new dress from home.

For the whole two days, she just sat beside Milo and ate almost nothing, except water. After two days, he died. Firstly, Kaya didn't believe and she forced doctor to check him again and again. But he didn't wake up, she understood that he was dead. She cried so heavily that whole floor became aware of Milo's death.

Later that day, they buried Milo's body under Milo's house in Kaya's home garden as per Kaya's request and she didn't stopp crying even once.
