"So, Nayaka is the only one who can come, and you two won't be able to be here to join the fun?" Sheva asked, trying to hide the slight pang of disappointment inside him.
"I am so sorry, Brother Sheva! I still have a school exam two weeks later, and my mom would never allow me to go!" Devi said on the other side of the phone, full of apology.
"Me as well, Brother Sheva." Duta sung the same tone. "While home schooling is not that strict, but I still have to follow the normal school's schedule for the National Examination next month. My mother is basically locking all the chess related stuff and would never let them see the light before everything is over."
