So we are going to meet with that Lion?  Little Rishab asked Jiya with eyes full of joy and excitement.

Yes, but this lion is bit different. He has specs instead of mane. Jiya said.

Let's go.  And remember one thing.. this lion doesn't want any friends. So promise me,  you will not disturb him okay?? .... Jiya combed his hair while making sure of it that he will not disturb Darshan.

Okay. Rishab replied with a little nod.

I hate this. I need to stop thinking about that girl. I don't even know her. Then why the hell I am thinking about her?

I heard a scooter stopped in front of my house. I peeked from my window. Chatterbox holding a boy. I can see the scratches all over that boy's face even from this far.
They rang the door bell.

As soon as I opened the door.....

Hiiii Sir. Sorry. He won't be a trouble trust me.. thank you sir for letting me bring him here. He is a very sweet and shy boy. You'll love him. He always obeys elders and.....

   I shouldn't have suggested to bring him in a first place.

The boy was peeking into my study.
Jiya is now struggling with the pending works maybe that's why she didn't notice when this boy came infront of my study.
I was writing my next story. But need some rest. It's a bit exhausting. That boy was standing near my room, as if he wants to ask something. I closed my notepad.

you want anything? I asked.

You are not a lion. You are a man. He replied with a curious face. But his reply is weird.

What? Who said I am a lion.?

Jiya. She told me that we are visiting a lion who wears specs. He replied without any fear.
   My super brain instantly started imagining a lion with a specs on. Without even realising it.. I smiled.
   I saw that boy is holding a book in his hand. I know that cover. It's...
