AIDEN'S POV:

Her words had some kind of pain in them as if there's lot she has gone through behind the confident and strong lady she is today. Every human has some kind of pain, might be she has too and... so do I. But I just want her to be happy and relaxed, cause I genuinely feel she deserves it. I was lost in thoughts when I saw her smiling. Wow! Her smile is really beautiful. "Ms. thief, let's have some good photos now, all the photos I clicked earlier are.... you know..." Her face instantly turned red when I mentioned about it making me chuckle.

"Come on now, say cheese..." I placed the selfie stick in front of us and gave a smile and the next moment, even she gave a beautiful smile. After about a dozen of photos and videos, I kept my phone back and there was a total silence between us. I so wanted to ask her and I couldn't keep patience anymore so I asked her anyways. "Ms. thief, you're so rude." As soon as I said that, she turned around to me and looked at me as if I've said something horribly wrong and I'll have to go to hell for that.

"What? You I didn't even asked for once about my leg huh. So rude Ms. thief." She immediately turned away hiding her face but I could clearly see her face turning red. "Well my leg is okay now for your information." I said as I knew she isn't going to speak anything further on this topic now. "Sorry, and thank you." But these sudden words from her surprised me a lot. "What did you say?" I asked coming close to her.

"Sorry for what happened to your leg because of me and... thank you for helping me out today." She looked straight into my eyes while speaking. I felt warm in my heart for no reasons. "You're always welcome Ms. thief. After all you're my friend, aren't you?" I said that just to tease her, though somewhere she's become... important to me. I try my best to avoid her but in a way or the other, I get involved anyways. But what she responded next was not what I expected at all.

"Yes, friends." She gave a beautiful smile making me dumbfounded. "You... serious?" I asked still trying to believe upon her words. "Yes, the way you helped me today can only be done by a friend." Those words were simple but I don't know why, I felt an immense happiness in my heart. "Thank you Ms. thief for accepting friendship with me." As I said that, she pouted looking at me. "You'll still call me Ms. thief? You'll still keep on irritating me?" I couldn't help but laugh out loud on her words. "Of course, so what you've become my friend now? A friend owns more right to tease and irritate the other friend." She shook her head in helplessness looking at me.

"Okay now, it's time to land down. Keep your legs high okay Ms. thief, be careful." I instructed her and she obediently followed my instructions. "Had fun?" Everyone asked us as soon as we landed. I don't know why I felt a kind of difference in their tone as if they're teasing us. God, these people are becoming weird day by day. Everyone returned to hotel and slept as soon as we reached the hotel.

The next two days were fun as well. We all roamed around the places and parks around and had a beautiful time together. But these two days were a bit different as me and Ms. thief got along than before. Well I was still irritating her but there was less of ignorance and quite of bonding between us on these two days. My bonding with uncle has grown a lot stronger as well. I just love the way he shares his experience with me which helped me a lot. And today we're going back to our home and the trip has finally come to an end. I was busy on checking arrangements so I became the last one to enter the bus and all of them were seated the same way this time as well leaving no option than to seat next to Ms. thief.

HELENA'S POV:

I can't believe that the five days of trip has finally come to an end. Lots of things have changed within these five days be it me getting closer to aunty and G or spending more time with Diana and Zayden. But the most important change is the change in between the relationship between him and me. We've become friends now, an actual friends. But he still keeps on irritating me but somewhere I feel amazed to see the energy he gets.

I was sitting on my seat looking out of the window as we're returning back home today when I felt someone sitting besides me. And as I turned around, it was him giving a mischievous smile and I could do nothing except to shake my head in helplessness. The journey began and everyone started singing and gossiping again. I was enjoying sitting at the last seat. But I guess everyone was out of energy as the way back to home was a long.

I was enjoying the scenery outside but my eyes started feeling heavy and I don't know when I drifted to sleep. I was in deep sleep until I felt a sharp pain on my head when my head banged into the window when the bus took a turn. "Ahh.." I was rubbing my head trying to soothe the pain but it wasn't helping me. Then I felt two hands on my head trying to rub the area that banged a while ago.

I turned around to see him rubbing my head. "Ms. thief, you okay?" His face showed how worried he was. "Yes I'm okay." I said freeing myself from him and turned my head towards window. I tried to control myself but I couldn't. I was so sleepy and drifted to sleep but the next moment, a sudden force due to break pushed me again and I was mentally prepared to get banged though in sleep again. But I felt something soft on my forehead instead.

I opened my eyes to see his hand protecting me from getting hit. I turned around to see him staring at me. But then the next moment, he pulled me towards him by my shoulder and placed my head on his shoulder making me shocked. I tried to get back but he didn't let me. "Sleep Ms. thief, I won't eat you." I was too tired to fight with him any more so I slept leaning on his shoulder.
