SOULS AFTER DUSK

chapter 2

The class is about to start in 5 minutes. We should walk in the class - Alia said

We all got up and went to class.

Good morning Everyone ! - Professor entered in classroom

We all stood in his honor

"You seem to be new here " he asked as he saw me

 
"Yes Sir I am " I replied gently

Okay , why you're joining too late ? He asked 

What should I tell him that I was too busy in enjoying my life and skipped study for a whole damn year and failed my first year of intermediate and I was not promoted at all so I had to wait for my results and I wanted to pursue Law but my fate wasn't in my favor so I took this course because I had no choice. 

As I wanted to reply him quickly but I got little bit nervous

"I am asking to you " he repeated the question

I started answering him in Urdu

You're here to learn English , talk to me in English - He snapped

I Found it strange , I wanted to reply him that I came to learn English as I don't know English . How can I speak throughout English.

Well, I only kept pressing my lower Lip with my upper teeth and Didn't respond

There was a Long silence.

"Okay sit down" - he yelled at me after a while.

"Okay class where were we ?" - prof. Continued

My first impression on him was not so good but who cares ha ha - I thought and giggle

My fellow on next chair gave me a look like she has figured me out as " If a new creature was sitting with her "
I think so , but it would be perfect if she didn't . Because I wanted to make good relations with everyone now.

I turned away my attention from her and began to listening what professor is talking about, but I couldn't understand a word maybe its all about to interest and the goal you want to achieve.

As  my intentions was totally different, subjects, goals, well now this is reality and i have to live in it. "I had enjoyed my life a lot , may be i should not".

"Okay class that's all for today" - Professor informed us.

we walked for a while and sat down on a bench.

"So tell me about you " - Aliya asked

"well my name is Sarah " - I replied in a sarcastic way

"I know "- she laughed

"Tell me some more, I want to know you deeply" - she added

I stared her for a while and ignored everything she said minutes ago.

" Are not you going to say a word ? " she asked 

"Well there's nothing in me that you should know"I replied 

"Tell me something about you" I added 

My life has changed lately, my mother passed away and my father remarried but it's okay she's such a sweet lady she treats me well but I miss my mother a lot.Mothers are sweetest,they know already what you need and when,they take care of your single need  even you neglect that thing as a need.Mothers can sense everything.

"In some cases, maybe yes but in my case hell... NO, I am last child of my mother but shes too busy to give me some attention as she has one son and one daughter already to serve love and affection". I thought 

"You should visit my apartment someday " I offer 

I'd love too, thank you. She gave me a smile.

As we walked out of classroom she gave me a short tour of university as that building was gave me old school vibes , furnished with brown chairs , some of those were broken.Windows and doors were rusted and crying out for help as this university wasn't my ideal thing but something is better than nothing right :). 

Some of the boys were playing Cricket,girls were chatting or more like gossiping ,well just girls thing.Hall was full of walking desires,hopes,disappointments ,unknowingly their futures and events they just live with excitement and ready to face everything ,yes this suspense and thrill helps them to live otherwise who want to study or make money knowing that he'll die tomorrow. Boredom kills us and some things should remain unrevealed it keeps us alive.

"Lets get something to eat " Alia asked  

Why not ? lol I replied we rushed towards cafeteria 

- 

Cafeteria was telling me his sad story how he has been ignored throughout his life, no one bothered to reconstruct these attached rooms called cafeteria by students.

What do you want to eat ? Asked baba tahir , an old man with dark colored beard,hazel eyes kohl filled in, an amulet an head cap usually called prayer cap standing on the other side of counter,checking out every passing girl with a lusty stare.His aura was just like that old goon showed in Bollywood movies.
