No one's POV
It's been two week after the action drama. There is only few days left for First exam. Eliza and Lily are spending time in Lily's botanical garden. Eliza have big interest in caring plants. Like she says she don't prefer human.Eliza noticed Liana is being silent for a long time. "Lily, what's wrong?" Eliza asked watering a rose. "Nothing " she replied lifelessly. Eliza didn't say anything and continued to watering the rose. Lily looked at Eliza in a confused expression. "Why are you not asking further?" Lily complained and throw a pen towards Eliza because she was studying. Eliza picked up the pen and gave Lily back. Lily kept staring at Eliza with puppy eyes and pouty lips. "Childish" Eliza commented.
"What?" - Lily
"Don't make that face. That won't work" - Eliza
"What face?" - Lily
"Puppy eyes and pouty lips " - Eliza
"You are too mean" Lily complained
"Yes, i am so what?" Eliza mocked her.
"Is this what a personal therapist do?" Lily said. "You didn't wanted to explain " Eliza said. "You didn't ask" Lily complained and looked away. Eliza looked at her confusedly and chuckled. "Didn't i?" Eliza asked her. "You shoulder have forced me to say it" Lily said. Eliza turned into a cold expression and "Then say it" she should. Lily was shocked by Eliza's sudden change. And turned normal after realizing her friend got skills."You startled me" Lily complained again. Eliza laughed a little "What's up?" - Eliza
"I will tell you. But kindly explain why didn't you force" -Lily
"Is that a requirement?" - Eliza
"If that's your perspective, then yes it is " Lily
"Fine, I know you will tell if is that serious when i asked you. Even if it is serious, i won't force you to tell me. You can just tell me whatever you want to even if i didn't ask" Eliza explained.
Lily slowly looked at Eliza."Its....you got every talents. You are class topper, amazing singer, a writer, dancer, artist and a all rounder.... Look at me i can't even study properly. My life is just a waste. There are no opportunities for me. It's always a straight line in graph. No changes. It's boring. I don't think my future will be bright. You know what will happen to you even after 10 years. " Lily explained. Eliza let out a deep sigh. What is she thinking?Eliza to two pots of seedlings. She handed one to Liana and kept one in her hand. Lily looked to and forth between Eliza and the seedling in her hand. "Why?" Lily asked her. Eliza sat beside Liana.
"Liana,listen up.Let me explain it with an example. You have a seedling in your hand and i have one in mine. Suppose, we are going to take care of them. I takes care of it everyday. Keeping a positive attitude towards it. And it will grow better. At the same time you are not taking care of it. You judge that it won't grow big so you insist to take care of it. Telling yourself it's waste of time. It won't grow. It will die. Do you understand?"Eliza explained."W.. What do you mean?" Lily asked her. Eliza sighed. "I am doing everything to support my future. I am practising my every talents. I am learning, acquiring and growing. That's the process. I takes risk and may be my life faces ups and downs but i will still do it. If you're insisting on taking risks, hard working and believing in yourself, there is nothing meant that you're complaining and concerning." Eliza explained again. Lily nodded and smiled at her. "Liana... Don't bow your head maybe you won't be able to hold it up again"
