Part 9- The God Of Love
Ami had jumped out of the window and Drake, swiftly took out his wand and spelt and was ready for acting the spell just then, Ami changed into her fairy form, a minute before hitting the ground and was now moving fast towards Drake. Drake was standing there numbly and was processing what was happening, but Ami was too fast than his thinking and she rapidly flew past him and halted in the mid-air, she was looking around in the blank night and was searching for something, Drake approached her.
Drake (confused): What in the magical kingdom is wrong with you? Why are you performing, emergency and deadly acts you will make me land in Folisa centre soon! What happened?
Ami(explaining while looking around): Nothing, I thought that I saw something, I don't know how to describe what I saw, maybe a shadow. (Ami walks near him)
Drake(smiling): Ami, shadows are not found in the dark where there is no light.
Ami(biting her inner cheek): Well, then I saw a reflection then (Drake stares deeply in Ami's eyes and Ami sighs): Fine, I saw something horrific. I don't know who it was, whether a man or a beast but, the thing was 10 feet huge and was standing right behind you, covering its whole body with a long red gown and hood and it was even carrying a big axe which was embedded into your body and when I looked from the top, it seemed like you didn't even know what was pierced right through your body and you were also not bleeding, how could that ever be possible?
Drake(goes wide and then bursts into laughter): You think, you can act sincerely like this and I will get pranked, I know you all guys did the prank, (then yells) everyone come out, I know you are doing a prank, you all are caught now. (Ami stands there with her arms crossed and looking a Drake with angry eyes, Drake notices that no one comes out and he turns to Ami who had a smirk on her face): Well, I think that was not a trick.
Ami(stepping forward and Drake stepping backwards): Well, yes that was a good conclusion that I didn't trick you. While jumping from th window without my wings, only to save you, then flying hastily towards you, even if I crossed the speed limit to only save you and explaining this whole chaos even if I know you will be afraid, is all a trick to you right, Mr Drake? (Ami then stops and looks at him with bloodshot eyes): I think, I should mind my own business, right?
Drake(pleading ): Ami please don't talk like that, I am sorry, you know, what you described is just unbelievable to even think about that's why
Ami(confused): What do you mean, and I want the straightforward answer?
Drake(explaining): Well, you just described God Of Love, and you know, God Of Love has not been seen by anyone till now not even our founders, so it's a bit tough to believe you and you know, I thought you Henry told you about the appearance and you came here to trick me.
Ami(wide): Well, I didn't trick you, and now if you are explaining this, I am even doubting myself, as to what I saw was a vision, or it was real.
Drake(thinking): Well, it can't be a vision because, I looked at you when you were staring at me and then you jumped, the hat didn't appear on your forehead so no chance for a vision.
Ami(shocked): Then what I saw was real, what does the God do?
Drake(shrugging): No idea, he is just termed as God Of Love who represents purity, love and compassion, but, it is said that when his axe is embedded into your body, he will guide you to true love.
Ami(smiling): Who is it?
Drake(turned slightly red): Well, she is a girl.
Ami(mischievous): Of course, she is a girl, I didn't say that you saw a boy (then laughs and Drake eyeing her). Fine, tell me whom did you see, do we know her and please don't mention, she is like the sunlight that, brightens me up, her sparkling, little eyes make me go wild, her presence makes me feel whole, we heard enough of that dramatic shit, so tell us who she is.
Drake(thinking about to tell her, who did he see, but then he knows if he told her the truth, he might lose her forever, he thought to just remember someone else for now): Oh, you all don't know her, not even me, I saw her the first time (Well said Drake, Ami might let go of the topic)
Ami(nodding): Then, will you find her, I mean do you like her?
Drake(smiling): Are you kidding me, I don't like her, I love her and I will tell her all this soon.
Ami(wide): Are you mad, or are you again in infatuation, Drake you don't even know who th girl is and here you saw her for once and you fell in love.
Drake(thinking: Drake you are doomed, how come you can be so brainless, you could have controlled it, you are such an idiot, now answer, or she will read your mind and then you will be doomed for your entire life): Well, Ami, you know, God Of Love, as you mentioned, shows you the true love (Ami nodding, Drake looking at her and spluttering): Well, she is my true love, so I have to eventually love her, right?
Ami(wrinkled nose): Are you making an excuse or explaining me, or do you think love is something which is forced?
Drake(now comes another blunder, Drake you are no good in telling lies, think about something else now): Well, Ami you know, fine. (Inside Drake's mind: What are you doing, are you going to tell her, Drake I don't think that's a good idea, you know this will be a big mess, Drake no, you are not going to say it to her, Drake warning you, no). Ami, the girl, I don't love her, but I think I like her a little bit you know, she is kind of cute and also caring.
Before Ami opens her mouth to speak something, Henry and Yash step down from their broom and behind them, Anu lands with Diva who was hugging Anu tightly in her fairy form and places Diva on the ground and changes into human form.
Henry(stomping towards them): Well, we had a meeting, if you both remember, or did you guys start and end your meeting?
Ami, calms everyone down who were shouting and then explains everything that happened, everyone had shocked expressions on their faces and were deep into thoughts of how to even react to the unexpected situation and Ami was looking at them eagerly for an answer.
Yash(after which felt like a decade to Ami and Drake opened his mouth to speak): Hmm
Ami(like fire): Are you kidding me? I thought you would say something about this, or even advise something, but, the only word you said is hmm, am I joke to you?
Yash(wide): What should I even say? Well, I could say, this situation is ironic of what we were going to discuss, I don't know where this thing is going to?
Henry(jumped and stood beside Drake): Congrats man, but how will we find her?
Ami(folding her hands): Why are you always different? You know when we are discussing something like this, you have to always give a different answer.
Henry(sticking his tongue out): So, Drake when we will find her?
Drake(biting his lip): You know, I wanted to keep this a secret till I find her, tell her how I feel and then tell you guys?
Diva(questioning): Drake, are you seriously serious about her?
Drake(nodding): Yes, Diva
Anu(speaking up): Don't be (Drake and everyone looked at her), I think Drake you should not take it seriously, you remember the days with Spark right, I think taking another infatuation seriously is not good.
Henry(contradicting): Guys, we need to support him, not discourage him.
Ami(shouts): Then what you want us to do, encourage him to ruin his life, Henry deep down you also know that this is not a correct thing to do and you also want him to live happily. You also know that he is jumping off the cliff with a rope holding him.
Drake(looking at Henry who had his head hung down): Fine, I don't need you all, I will talk to her by myself.
Ami(stepping towards him): Fine, with us too, but before searching for her, answer my questions, will you?
Drake(nods): Fine, go ahead.
Ami(serious): Just say yes or no that's it. (Drake nodded and Ami took a huge breath and continued): Fine, let's go,do you feel butterflies in your stomach or any twirling in your heart when you see her? (Drake said yes), are you mesmerised by her aura or presence ? (Drake said yes), are you hurt when she does not show up or shows up late? (Drake said yes), do you lose yourself when she is with you? (Drake said yes), do you know her? (Drake said yes)
Drake went wide because he had just confronted what that he must be hiding and he should have known that it was Ami's trick to make him confront and she was successful, he should have known. Everyone went wide and Ami was smiling a little with a serious but triumph look on her face.
Henry(his jaw dropped) : You had told that we don't know her and now you told that you know her that means you are hiding something from us Drake, right?
Drake(gulped): Henry—— Let me explain—I—I was...
Ami(jumped in the middle): Well, what's her name and tell us which standard is she in or we can find it by ourselves if you are lost of words.
Drake(blanched): Guys, sorry for the lie that I told you and yes Ami is right you all know her, well she is in the same school and is Henry's classmate but, I wanted to tell you guys once I confront it to her and now also I think I will tell you guys after confrontation, I think you all understand (Drake was smiling because he knew, he saw Ami rolling his eyes and mumbling angrily under her breath, then he saw Diva and Anu smiling at him and then he saw Henry and Yash nodding and then Drake turned to Ami): Now, what did my answers, signify? (Drake watching her going furious
Ami(smile faded): Well, this is hard, (Drake was shining) you— you don't love her. (Now it was Drake's time to go white and Ami was smiling at him). You have again an infatuation and this time it's not at all deep.
Anu(wide): But, how can this happen, I mean he stated everything correctly, how can you tell he is not in love?
Ami(explaining): I know you three have never heard about this word (Turing to Drake, Henry and Diva) but, there is something called psychology in our world which is a science which can help understand people's feelings and mind, well I think this is the definition because it is a large study and when I looked into this topic called 'When you think you truly are in love?' and there were some questions in the last which had to asked so I did, and don't think I will explain them how, now because that's what it is.
Drake(wide): Are you kidding me? (Burning rage in his eyes), I love her and I mean it.
Ami(stepping forward with bloodshot eyes): You are not in love with her and that's final.
Something hung in the air between them when they looked at each other angrily but not in frustration, something that neither, either of them were feeling, something viscous and bittersweet there was pure camaraderie, a bond that came with experience but they had developed it earlier and now something altering and awful that no one could understand. Anu, Henry, Yash and Diva silently walked away, because they knew that they had to leave them alone.
Ami couldn't hold this much longer and stomped off into the house to her room and Drake thinking to himself That's nice now, making someone go mad and then making yourself angry for no reason, where I should be the one stomping off , heck, I am going mad. Then just hold onto the ground, in deep thought and sighs in the moonlight.
Meanwhile in Diva's room,
Anu(thinking): Well, that was some that I had never expected, and I have never seen Ami react like this.
Yash(shrugging): Me too,she never had done anything like this before, I know that she is short tempered but, her reaction to this was just unexpected.
Henry(thinking): I think she is jealous (Everyone looked at him at once with narrow eyes), What I only said, which I felt right, didn't you guys notice anything like that?
Diva (rolling her eyes): Henry, why in the magical kingdom, do you think she is jealous? I think she cares too much about Drake, you know because he has no family and also after the drastic breakup, you know they understand each other well
Anu(nodding and continuing): And that's why she is thinking too much and even though Drake is close to Henry, Tod, Abner and Hail, he only feels comfortable to share his inner feelings and secrets on,y with Ami.
Henry(eyeing Anu): You know that hurts but, it's the truth and I think we we should give both of them time to sought out this fight and we should focus on vacations because, we have only two months and we know that we are helpless.
The environment in the room suddenly changed from discussion to lust which filled the entire room with deep negative thoughts and the feeling that their arms and legs have been chopped which made them feel helpless even though they are The Picks and it is their duty to think through, but no use.
Meanwhile in Drake's room,
Drake was looking out of the window and just then he heard someone open the door behind him, he knew who it was, so without turning he just waited patiently, for the person to enter.
Drake(not turning): Ami, was that all true that you had just told me out there?
Ami(nods, even though she knows Drake couldn't see, then goes and sits besides him not too close): What do you want to hear?
Drake (staring at her): The Truth.
Ami(takes a deep breath): Well, yes I told the truth outside.
Drake(gives a small smile and then looks down): Ami, you are right, there is no thing such as true love and infatuation is a drug that will only make you addict to it and only gives heartbreaks.
Ami(looks at him): Well, the second part is true but, not the part about true love (Drake looks at her with soft eyes), you know my mom loved my dad purely and yes that was not returned to her the way she had expected it to be, but she didn't stop caring for him, and loving us, Drake sometimes, some people may not love us the way we expected but, we should be happy that the, but that doesn't mean that the person soaked out love from you, you can stop loving that person but caring is a whole different thing, and you care because you love and you love because you care and my mother loves and cares for us very much.
Drake (smiles): Ami did you love anyone?
Ami(nodding): My first love, is my mother then Anu, Yash, Henry, Diva and you.
Drake(wide): You love me?
Ami(a little confused): Yes, we are best friends, aren't we?
Drake(blinking): Oh ya, yes we are. (Then laughs out of nowhere)
Ami(smiling and confused): Why are you laughing?
Drake(chuckling): Well, we had an argument on a thing which we will lose in two months, how childish right. (Deep down he knew that, this is some serious matter).
Ami(knowing how he felt on the inside): Drake, love can't defined someone's relationship, time will, remember that. (Drake nods). Now something serious, this was placed on my desk when I returned to my room........
