Chapter 6: Drama

•Aimaan•

"To meet him tomorrow!"

I concluded. Waniya was hearing me eagerly.

After the chat with Mr.Unknown, I immediately contacted Waniya to be at Star Bucks, which was located somewhat equidistant from both of our houses. That was the usual place where we met.

"What should I do?" I asked.

"Meet him. He said that he'll be in the college evening right? I'll be there. If he's intended to do something, I'll take care." she said.

I sighed.

"What if I don't?" I asked her.

"No,no. Don't get into trouble. He may harm your family"

Now I understood why Shakesphere said, 'Life is a drama'.

"Don't inform this to Aunty. She may get shocked. Or did you already?"

I shook my head.

We spend a course of time, listening to the song of silence. Awkwardness. Mysterious.

*****

Fake smiling. That was what I was expert at. I was laughing like nothing-actually-worry-me with my companions. Neither Waniya, nor any single soul in this world knew that my heart was burning stronger and stronger as I continued to laugh.

Sometimes, I felt that there's no one to me. Ofcourse that was right. We get into this stage alone, and finally depart all alone, under the six-feet.

This feeling since my younger age helped me a lot. I need not wanted anybody's help, but though, I shared something else's with my closest ones.

And the history was repeating once again. I was all alone in this testing. Even though I considered Waniya as my everything, she was embedded in her circumferences.

As every class got over, as the sun moved towards the west, as the day started to loose its bluishness, my anxiety increased. Many more questions raised.

During usual day, I, as every student, wished to make the time run faster during boring subjects. But today, was a different day, in every sense.

"Aimaan! Stand up!" Someone screamed, and then I got my senses back.

It was forensic-II, and I didn't even realised that. The time was 12.30 pm.

OMG! It was 11.25 when I checked the time 10 minutes ago.

Hmm..now a days, time is flying slowly.

This sarcasm and you!

Was I wrong?

Shut up!

I scolded my inner mind, and concentrated into what he was saying. Moreover, the Forensic-II professor was new.

"Where were you listening!"

And this he started his lecturing. Then I noticed the clock that was hanging above his head.

Every second was passing so swiftly. I looked at it until the second hand completed its one twenty milestones.

Every eyes were looking at me. Even though majority's eyes held sorry and misery, there were some who held no expressions.

"Now get out!" He commanded.

"What?" I asked him, semi-confused.

"I said get out!" He screamed.

Wow!

A literal get out!

Just wow.

You're an outstanding student Aimaan.

Fed up with this sarcasm.

"Thank you so much sir" - I thanked him and get out of the lecture room to grab some fresh air.

I heard my collaborators snickering and the professor commenting: "Is this girl gone nuts!"

Yes sir, I'm gone nuts today.

*****

Me and Waniya was waiting in the parking lot. It's 5.15 pm. Most of the students were gone.

"Any messages?"

After waiting for two or three minutes, my phone rang: Mr. Unknown!

Waniya showed me to attend the call. I put the call on speaker.

"Hello?"

"Hii dear. I know that you were awaiting for me in the parking lot"

Waniya checked around to see whether there's someone suspicious.

Like, seriously?

"Get into the matter!"- I spat.

"I need your property. I need you to resign Flora's job. I need you to quit this college. I need you. Now..will you give it?"

"Why are you...please leave me alone" I asked him, my tone quite requesting.

"So, do you know how to plead?"

"Whats your fucking problem?" I yelled at him.

"Oops, sorry. Did I forget to mention about your little cutie sister? So..control yourself."

"If you dare to touch her..."

"...Then dare to meet me at the classroom near the backyard store!"

He ended the call. Waniya was listening to the conversation with anger, astonishment and fear.

"Let's go!" I grabbed her hand and paced to the store room.

*****

I felt like the time is moving very slowly, like our legs. Like any typical mystery film, we were walking in slow motion....

"I think...that's the classroom" Waniya pointed to a classroom. That room was temporarily closed for some maintanence problems. Waniya waited behind the store room, to watch the drama.

I knocked the room.

No reply.

Another knock.

No reply.

I pulled it open. The door produced a cracking sound. There was no light.

"H-hello" I asked.

"BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

"Aah" I screamed and the light went on. Waniya rushed in, hearing my scream. The scene in front of us boiled my blood.

There were four people whom I met three days ago, and the leader, whom I met yesterday and spent a whole time together, that bipolar: Mr.Worst Boy!

"What! A drama?" Waniya commented.

They were laughing maniacly, clutching their stomach. The one, who had a plump body imitated: "Why are you...please leave me alone" in feminine voice. The others started laughing again. Mr. Bad boy gave me a wink while laughing.

"I warned you not to play with me. This is just a sample for your long tongue." He spat.

"You!!" I threw a metallic can that was aside me to my so-called boss. And fortunate to say, it hit at his forehead and blood started oozing badly.

Now, we laughed, and they cried.
