Aaloo-Chilly – Chapter07

Parsley, Chilly’s younger brother, had made up a silly song that poked fun at Chilly. Unknowingly, Aaloo had danced to this song. Because of that, Chilly is offended. Aaloo and Chilly are now on their way to practice at the lake. Let’s see what happens next…

 

I was about to tell Aaloo how I was feeling, but for some reason he was smiling widely with all his teeth showing. Looking at his face, I forgot what I was about to say. I think listening to Parsley’s singing has made Aaloo lose his mind.


    Aaloo had a very large smile on his face that got me worried, so I asked him, “Why are you smiling so much?” He replied, “I have a surprise for you.”

Aaloo handed me a box and bottle, saying, “This is a box of dry fruits for you. You’ll feel hungry after practice, and eating this will be better for you than eating anything else. This is a bottle of fruit juice, which will be good for your throat.”   
 
          Aaloo had put in so much effort for me! I immediately cooled down on the inside. I loved the sticker on the box even more than what was inside, ‘Best Singer Chilly’. Koko’s eyes will pop out when she sees this. Everyone will be impressed, and Koko will realise that the skating champion, Aaloo, is on my side. I forgive Aaloo for dancing to Parsley’s song. If you saw Aaloo’s dance, then you’d also forgive him. If there is ever a competition between Parsley’s singing and Aaloo’s dancing, then the judge won’t be able to decide on the worst performer. And worse than that, those two don’t even know that their singing and dancing is a pain to the eyes and ears. 


         We reached the lake for practice. Koko the Koel was at the lake. I avoided any direct eye contact with Koko. I slowly placed the bottle down in such a way that she could read who the best singer was! But what is this? 

 

 
           Koko also had a bottle in her hand with a similar sticker that said "Singer Koko". As soon as she saw Aaloo, she happily said, "Thank you, Aaloo!' Then Aaloo gave her the same big smile that he gave me, and said, "You're welcome. Best of luck!“

 
            Aaloo had brought juice for Koko as well! Is he Koko’s friend or mine?! What was the need to bring juice for Koko? I got so heated up that I felt like my feathers were burning. If Aaloo wants to help others so much, then he should just open a juice store. I’m so angry at him! 
 
            I'm so angry at him! I asked him, "Aaloo, are you on my side or Koko’s? Why did you bring juice for him? Aaloo was shocked as if I have said something wrong. He said, On your side, of course! It says ‘Best Singer’ on your bottle, look!
So, if he is on my side, then why did he give juice to Koko?"
