The Prophetic Dreamer

Chapter 6: I have a whole damn life ahead!

Hania. She was a girl of words. She was ambitious, bold, eager and a rational girl. She had long brunette colored hair, big eyes and freckles with a majestic character which made boys laud. She wanted to be a doctor and was amused by helping people.

She wiped her tears and walked inside. She plug out the phone and played a playlist of calming songs. She walked to her bed and lied down, Hmmm~
She hummed. She was lost in the melody, when the door knocked. She immediately looked up and crawled down the bed; open the door. Her mother was standing in front of her.

"Oh mom. Wha-what is it?"

"Why did you had your door closed."

"Sorry."

"Your father have decreed not to close the door." She asserted entering the room.

"Hmm. But I'm a grown up and a GIRL."

"I know."

"What were you doing?" She asked passing the cup of tea to her daughter.

"I- I. I was listening to music."
Her mother frowned.

"Listen girl. Just wrap up what you are doing. Just quit with these things."

"Why? Mom listen I'm not a marionette ok."

"Yeah you all have to always shout on me. Come on pull some of my hair, I hope It'll calm you down."
Her mother uttered pulling a strand of her hair gently. Hania moved her head right, facing the wall, looking down.
For a moment the room was quiet. There was not even a sound, not even the buzzing of the fly. Which was constantly flying in the room. It rushed out of the open window.
Her mom gawked her, then stood up and left.

After a moment, Hania peeked if her mother was gone. She sighed.

What do they want from me? Don't I have a right to make my decisions? I have a whole damn life ahead! She thought.

She rolled to the initial position where she was sitting and pulled her phone out which was hidden under the pillow. She opened her Instagram and started scrolling the posts, when she remembered something. Her eyes opened in astound. she hurriedly moved her finger on the inbox; clicked on Zain's inbox and gawked at it in aghast with her hand on her mouth.

"Oh my god what is this! Why I had to reply him! Ahh what am I? Hania you should have let it go. It's boys habit to flirt but why, why you had to answer him on such- ahhhh!" She exclaimed moving her head left to right. She prostrated on her bed, grieving.

Next day Zain rushed to the college. He went there early as he had participated in the morning assembly. He rushed in the assembly ground. A boy was reciting surah. He joined the boys who were waiting for their turn. As he was waiting for his turn, he was casting around for Hania In the girl's side, although he knew that it was impossible to find a girl in between such a gathering. His name was called he rushed on the stage. He clutched the mic and looked for Hania when he realized that he had given up on her. He started his speech on "The Youth." what else did he noticed? He noticed that Hamza was not standing in his class row.
So he's absent ha? I couldn't see Haris too yeah, and Zia too. Is it planned ! Then why not me!
He finished his speech with a quote and stepped down. Everyone proceeded to their classes. While on his way he saw Hania walking towards the principal's office and wondered why then continued his way.

After the break the class went for a little refreshing. The boys rushed down the stairs. Zain was walking along one of his classmate Talha.

"Talha do you know why Hamza is absent today." He mumbled.

"No but maybe because of him." Talha urged pointing on a boy who was surrounded by a bunch of youngsters.

Hakim. Hamza's bully. It was him.

Zain looked at Talha's finger and then his face in qualm.
"What?"

"Yeah I saw him talking to Hamza on my way home on Tuesday. When you went early."

"About what?"

"I couldn't hear them, actually I was leaving and they were standing outside."
Zain looked at the boy who was Cackling.

Why doesn't he leave him alone! What does he want! He thought.

"Hey go on your way. Tell the teacher that I am in the restroom. Go." He said to Talha while he folded his sleeves up.

"Ok. Well- I shouldn't ask you why cuz you are- well there he go, yeah beat his ass off. You are a superman after all." Talha proclaimed and moved on his way.

Zain rushed towards the boy who was standing in the corner of the hallway.

"Hey!!! Hakim!" Zain shouted running towards him.

"Now who is this?"
Zain stopped in front of him. He catched his breath and raised his head removing the hair which was interrupting his view.

"You know because of you Hamza didn't come today."

" how, actually?"

"How? How! Listen. You wanted papers he gave you papers, you needed money he lend you some, then what's the issue with you now. Do you also want to beat him up like other bullies?"

"If I had to do so, I would have done it a while now. By the way who are you and WHAT are you." He asked looking at him up and down.

"I'm Zain Javed and im a human."

"Oh how dramatic I mean what's your rank?"

"Rank. Nothing."

"Then follow your footsteps babe. I'm the student council president from second year."

"Why do you bully man! You are a president."

"I didn't! Listen. Yeah I asked him for some money but he refused as it was too much for him... Ha~ poor guy BUT, when he handed me the papers I didn't bother him."

"Oh ok. See I avoid violence so Im letting it slide but-"

"Hey hey! Hania here baby!" Hakim shouted waving his hand looking at her who was coming out of the principal's office. Her eyes landed on him.

"Let's have a talk next time, with tea ok?!" And he ran to her. Zain was out of words. Is Hania Hakim's friend? Or is she his.... No, no way not that out of all!
Zain was startled, he gawked them and ran outside where he met all the boys chatting. The day passed like this. But one thing which kept Zain anxious was the scene he saw earlier. Why was she with him? a girl who don't even bother to ask boys for some help, why is she talking to that bully! And why was Hamza absent.

Now about Hakim Shafiq. He had an athletic body though with brown hair. He was Hania's cousin and his neighbor too. He was a bully who bullied others with words not hands until he need though. He was Zain's senior and also the president of the student council. He was hypocritical who thought that he held high standards than others.

Quote with which Zain ended his speech ( ꈍᴗꈍ)

"Youth is the pollen that blows through the sky, and does not ask why."
