Chapter 142 - Water.....

Ryan wrapped a thin layer of mental energy in his hand and waved it as usual.

Dun!!

Came a sound, and the multi-layered box opened up itself and got served on the grass.

Once again Nagisa and Rajesh had a shocked expression on their face. 'Just what in the world happened now?' was the question in their mind.

Ryan sat down again and started eating his sweets. Judging by the looks, he had a sweet tooth or two.

Rajesh and Nagisa checked out the dishes first, then sat around Ryan to share it with him. Seeing they were sharing their food with him, Ryan too shared his sweets, specially delivered by Mr. Victor, the new entrepreneur in the world of bakery.

The three of them started eating and finished half of Rajesh's entire lunch set. Now that they were about to full Nagisa broke the silence and asked the question that had been bugging her for a while.

"Ryan, can I ask you something?" asked Nagisa.

"Yea, sure go on."

"Hmm… Can you tell me what happened on that day after that hand dragged me into the picture and I lost my consciousness?"

"Cough, cough, cough," choked Ryan. Now that he remembered, he hadn't thought of a side story for that Miss Lisa's event. And since many parties were involved in the aftermath investigation, he couldn't give her a flaunt lie either.

Rajesh passed him a water bottle and asked him to stop coughing and drink water. Ryan took his bottle and emptied down half.

After drinking he licked his lips and made a weird face of uneasiness. Rajesh and Nagisa observed his expression and asked him whether he was feeling right or not.

Ryan shook head and told that the water was somewhat thick. Rajesh couldn't understand and asked, "Huh?! What do mean by that?!!"

Ryan tried to tell him that his water felt somewhat thick. Again Rajesh couldn't understand anything and asked Nagisa for help. But Nagisa too shook head and told she too couldn't understand anything.

Seeing both of them were unable to understand what he was trying to tell, Ryan waved his hands and took out a bottle of water from his interspatial ring.

"What's that?!" asked Nagisa.

"Water….. What else do you think it could be?!" replied Ryan and handed over the bottle to Rajesh.

"Drink it you will understand what I meant."

Rajesh received the bottle and drank some of it to tell the difference.

Suddenly, something happened, and he emptied down half of the water in the bottle. Nagisa was seeing at him in amazement and was curious about the water's taste.

"Hey Raj, share it with your sister too." Nagisa pouted.

Rajesh handed her the bottle with half the water than before and asked her to try it out.

Nagisa could feel his excitement, so she became more curious to taste it out.

She closed her eyes, her soft lips touched the bottle opening and done!!

The water vanished, unknowingly the water flowed through her throat and she was unaware of it.

It felt like a magic to her.

In addition to that taste of that water was somewhat soft and sweet. When she was thinking about sweet, it was not the sweetness of any pastry or dessert it was a sweetness that could be found in high-level mineral water or natural stream water.

But this water given by Ryan was way much better than those heavenly natural stream and fountain water.

If she were alone, she would have started licking the bottle for more. Since people were around, she refrained herself from showing such behavior and held the bottle with a tight grip in her hands.

After tasting the water, both of them were in a daze. Ryan waved his hand before them to check if they were alive or not but no response. They were lost in their own thoughts.

Seeing the two of them acting weird, Ryan looked around and snapped his finger.

Ding! Dong!! Ding! Dong!!

Echoed a sound in the mind of the duo, and dragged them back to reality.

Both of them looked around, then looked to the bottle in their hand. They tried to describe the taste of that water but unable to fetch any word for it.

"So, did you find the difference?" asked Ryan.

He was pretty sure then, that both of them could feel the difference.

Rajesh and Nagisa nodded head looking at each other and asked out in unison, "Friend Ryan what was is this?!!"

"My house tap water," replied Ryan.

Nagisa "…"

Rajesh "…"

'Tap water! Tap water he says!!' exclaimed Nagisa. 'No way any tap water tastes like that!!'

'Is he telling the truth?!! Really!! Tap water!! OMG JUST WHAT TYPE OF TAP DOES HE HAS AT HOME' shouted Rajesh in his mind.

Seeing the ever-changing expression on the duo's faces Ryan laughed out and asked, "What happened to you two? It's making me laugh seeing to your changing facial expressions."

Rajesh and Nagisa didn't reply anything and keep on staring at Ryan.

"Now what? Why are you acting like you are dumbstruck?" blurted out Ryan.

Silence~~~~~

Complete Silence~~~~~

This time it was hard for him to break the ice. After some minutes of staring Nagisa spoke, "You are telling the truth, right?"

"About what?" asked Ryan.

"About the water from your house tap."

"Yea…. Why will I lie about that?" he replied in confusion. As long as he knew Kalinga Mansion had a water supply from underground. And he had been drinking the same water for the last seven years.

This was the first time he drank someone else's water and felt awkward.

While Nagisa was silent Rajesh asked out the question, "Friend Ryan, do you know the source of water for our families?"

"Ahh… Underground water, like everyone else…."

"No," denied Nagisa.

"Then?"

"We get our water supply from Zenzo river, the purest river of this planet. Its water is so sweet and refreshing until…." Rajesh stopped at that.

"Until...."
