ＣＨＡＰＴＥＲ 41

As she stormed towards him, she couldn't help but curse him in her mind. He was in for a ride for what he had done especially at this age.

She held his collar and pulled him from behind. He turned around in anger but it vanished when he saw her.

"..Hi.." he squeaked out.

She smiled a bit trying to keep her face in check. "What are you doing here? you are supposed to be in school especially since you are a twelve-year-old."

"Yes but-"

"But?" She took the word in the offence and laughed it off. "there is no but, you're going to go back to school that you have bunked."

He looked around, watchful of people's gaze and whispered to her, embarrassed a bit. "I didn't bunk."

She scoffed at that. "So let me get this straight, two hours into the school and your standing right here in front of me in a public mall. And you are telling me that you have not bunked school?"

"Yes," he nodded. "I am here with someone."

She laughed sarcastically. "I dont think its parental supervision which in this case should be the only thing."

"He's here with me." Arman came around them and handed Shaan something. "Here, enjoy." He smiled.

"En-enjoy?" She asked looking at him and then her brother before firing back. "Do you-"

"Not now. We will sit and talk somewhere else." He ordered as she watched with her eyes open wide. Humiliated a bit but didn't have a chance to say anything as she was dragged by him into the mall.

"I think Shaan and Nadia would enjoy the arcade." Zaigham nodded and invited Shaan to Nadia and stayed with them.

Arman turned to her and his eyes were blank. "I think you need to understand something. There is a proper time and place to talk about things and you must be mindful about it."

She didn't wait before retorting back, "Perhaps if someone did not take my brother to bunk school without my permission as his legal guardian, I would have had control over my temper."

He waved his hand at that. "They have their annual function and your brother was not participating. I thought it would be better to spend time together then have him waste a whole day into watching people dance."

She shook her head slowly in wonder. whatever made him think that even if it was a non-working day he could take my brother out without my permission? Hell, where did he even get this idea from?

"Arman," she spoke carefully and slowly so that he would catch every word, "even if it was a non-working day it does not give you the right to take my brother out of school without my permission or my mother's. He is a minor at the end of the day, someone who is 12 years old and you cannot just come into his life and have him leave school with you."

"But I did." He shrugged in return, "and I'll be honest, he had to have some fun. I am going to be his Brother-in-law and if I did want to spend time with him, what's wrong with that?"

"Oh, there's nothing wrong with that." She shook her head, "what's wrong is that you to come and take him out of school without my permission. I am not a parent but his legal guardian if my mother is not here and you made him think that if once someone is introduced to him they can take him out of school any day."

"He is not that stupid Alia." He said tiredly.

"He is in a mall at noon on Monday." She informed him, "I don't know if you can but I can see his stupidity."

"I am his brother in-"

"Okay, you know what," she snapped finally as she started to hiss in aggressiveness, "you not are his future brother in law and it is honestly just a possibility that you are not going to be one and the way you are handling things with him I am pretty sure that you're not going to be one anytime soon."

"What did you say?"

"You heard me!" She hissed while glaring at him. "what in the world were you thinking when you took my brother out of school to spend time with him? You should have told me and I would have fixed the meeting for the both of you but no, you had to go ahead and pull him out of school on a working day and the most traumatizing fact of it all is I had no idea!" She breathed harshly but that didn't stop her from talking forward especially not his facial expressions.

"Can you imagine if it was me taking your minor sibling out of school to spend time with them without your permission?" She pointed her finger at him, "Do yo-Ah!" She cried as she felt him pull her harshly somewhere.

Focusing on the grip he had on her arm she used her other hand to take his hand off of her arm, not focusing on where they were going.

He pulled her into a room that barely had any light on and held both of her shoulders. Shaking her hard enough to make her cry out, he practically seethed out the words. "What did you just say?"
