Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.

Getting out from the bike she saw a huge mansion with lights on.
"What is this building?"

"It's my house!"

"What!"

"Again close your mouth."
Elijah chuckled seeing her reaction.
He took her hand and walked into mansion. Bella watched the outdoors which have an amazing garden with several flowers smiling at her.

"So beautiful."

She mumbled enough to hear him.

"What."

"Nothing just go."
Shw gritted her teeth. Reaching the door it opened automatically. A maid bowed to them.

"She is my girl and respect her."

"Elijah!"

An old lady in a walking stick approached them. She put her spects little up with her wrinkled fingers and glanced at Bella.

"Who is she?"

"Grandma she is Bella Harper a friend she will be staying with her."

Grandma smirked.
"How is she your friend?"

"Don't tease me Mrs. Luke."

"Get in."

Elijah let Bella into another hallway. Bella's eyes widened at the interior.
"Your grandma is sweet."

He turned to her.
"She is terror inside but sweet outside."

Bella made an 'O' shape with her mouth.
Enjoying interiors another maid opened the room door.

"Whose room is this?"
She yearned.

"Mine!"

Bella gasped. Walls were pasted with posters of movie's in bollywood. Painted with grey she stood drooling at whole room design. Bed was huge and a small table beside with a lamp lighted. Windows were covered with curtain.
Maid came in rushing.

"Master dinner is ready."

He nods and make went out.

"I will show your room after dinner now come for dinner."

Following him they get into a lift to second floor. Bella saw him silent unlike he is in university. She couldn't process why she is here or why she have to agree with him in everything.

She was lead to a large red hall with beautiful carpets engraved on floor. Table was decorated with modern architecture floral designs. A big designed wooden chair on centre round and there follows normal chairs on both sides. Her eyes enjoyed the beauty and serenity of the hall. Maids arranged the table in neat and clean. She felt like everything is royal and extraordinary sufficient for a normal human being who will be coming for just filling his hungry stomach.

"Sit."
Snapping from her thoughts of the beauty of the hall she heard Grandma and pulling a chair for her.

She nods and sat on chair near Elijah who was pulling all dishes to near her and maid serving it to her plate. Even the food is elegantly decorated. She felt cravings growing inside her stomach. Food items followed like steak in caramel cream and syrups of honey a standalone dish. Another followed by the vegetables and pineapples cut together in a plate with delicious colors.

Fish was out in another plate aside with onions and lemon juice squeezed on sides. Rice was followed with vegetables and spoon and fork sleeping on plate side waiting for someone to pick it.

She picked up a fork and spoon and began eating silently. Grandma was eyeing her from side to side which affected her style of eating to be more elegant and good manners.

"Your parents thought you well."

Elijah noticed Grandma's observation on her but he silently continued eating not in mood for interfering in between.

Bella smiled back to Grandma's statement.
"Children these days are thought well unlike him."

Bella eyed Elijah.
She noticed Grandma glancing at her.

"Huh?"

"How is he at college? Is he at your class?"

Her mouth opened to answer by Elijah answered.

"She is not ay my class she is a junior."

"Opps then how you met her?"

"Grandma stop bringing up unnecessary questions."

"We met in a tragic way at canteen."
Elijah snapped from Grandma and suddenly looked at Bella balling his fist.

Bella smiled at him.
"I helped him when he fell on floor infront of students."

"Opps poor him."
Grandma said and continued eating.

Elijah sighed and whispered at her.
"A lie!"

"Grandma!"
Elijah poked her leg under table causing her to poke him back.

"He is into fight nowadays."

She could feel his teeth getting gritted.
Bella smirked. It was Bella's wish to pay back of everything which she owes him by his annoyance.

"He is a cat in college who get into fights silently."

Grandma laughed putting back the fork and spoon on table.
"A cat?"

"Yes he might become a tiger but a cat inside."

Again Grandma laughed.
"You are hilarious girl."

Bella smiled.

"I need you to visit me more often."

"Of course Mrs...."
Bella couldn't process name of the old lady.

"It's Mrs. Luke everyone calls me husband passed away a year ago."

"Sorry to hear that."

"It's fine I have my little Elijah all time."

Bella was confused still. No one is saying about his parents. Are they even alive or did he have parents . Snapping from her thoughts everyone finished food. Elijah whispered to hear after standing up.
"Come to my room. I have a surprise for you."

She sighed. A long day to go. Her plans are ditched now. She quickly took her phone and texted Jossie and Jane that she will only come tomorrow. She quickly closed her phone not waiting for bundle of messages which is going to flood in her phone.
