WHO IS TO BLAME?

Chapter six

It was Monday morning. Isha woke up to her sister shaking her gently. "You're late for school Isha you have to get up and be ready. It's almost 8 o'clock."
Isha opened her eyes slowly and behold Asma standing in her school uniform.
   "Don't worry about me my dear, I have lectures at 10oclock." Answered Isha in a sleepy voice.
   "Okay. But your breakfast is on the table you have to go eat."
   "Alright thanks. Please close the door."
   Meanwhile, Mr Hamid was in his room thinking about what Isha did to him. He was surprised and also thinking about what made her not to come as he told her. Because he used so many students just to make them pass his exam. "I wondered what happened to this girl but maybe she doesn't know who i am." He smiled mischievously. "She must be in trouble moreover, as long as i am the lecturer in this university she will suffer so let's see." He said furiously with his red eyes.
   Isha was sitting with her friends in front of their lecture hall chatting happily. This made her forgot her worries.
   "So this means in the next two years Amal will be getting married to fahad." Said Fatima holding Amal playfully.
   "You guys are so funny." Said Amal smiling. "I don't want you guys to believe him. He was lying. The only thing i know is that he proposed to me and i agreed. However, our parents are awared about it that's all. Nobody says we are going to get married in the next two years."
   "Hahaaaaa!" They all laughed.
    "The truth is coming out and that means we are right because in the next two years you are going to finish your course." Said mina, smiling.
   "Our bride to be." They chorused.
   "Hey guys! What is going on here?" Said Usman one of their course mate, while running towards them.
   "Hi usy boy! What's up?" Asked Isha.
   "So you guys don't know that exams are coming up on next Monday?"
   "What?" They said in unison.
   "Are You serious?" Said Isha in astonishment.
   "See this girl, so now why are you afraid?" Amal exclaimed. "I know you can do it even if it's today."
   "Yeah you're right she's the most brilliant girl in our department." Usy replied looking at Isha.
   "No please. It's alright, we've to go and start studying because our exams are approaching. I will be on my way to the library." Said Isha while she stood up and started walking and Amal followed her.
   They entered the library and went straight to the bookcase in order to find the right book to read. Amal took "anatomy and physiology" to read and she left leaving Isha searching for the book.
Just then, something happened; Isha heard movement from her back and she turns to see who was it, behold it was Mr Hamid standing there next to her akimbo. She was petrified and dropped the books from her hands.
   "Why are you afraid?" He asked in a hoarse voice. "I asked you to come to the hotel and meet me but you refused leaving me there waiting for you all alone. I swear you are going to pay for it. I will see how you will pass my exam so let's wait and see." He said and walked away while giving her a black look.
She stood there unable to move. Her legs appeared to be failing her. She closed her eyes because of the dizziness that she felt.
   "What's wrong with you Isha?" She heard Asma's voice behind her.
   "I'm  waiting for you for long time and you are here standing." No answer and her eyes are still closed. Amal shook her and isha fell on her body and she started sobbing uncontrollably so Asma became confused.
   "Isha! Isha!! Are you okay?" Said Asma shaking her.
   "Hey there." Shouted one of the security guard in the Library. "It's enough...... You have been making noise since and it is not allowed here so you better keep quiet or walk out."
Amal held Isha and they went out. They sat on the bench behind the library.
   "You have to stop crying isha. You have to stop and tell me what had happened."
Isha wiped her tears away and stared at Amal.
   "I am in great trouble Amal. I'm in big trouble."
   "Tell me what happened."
   "He threatened to make me fail my exam because I refused to accept his invitation. He won't let me pass his exam."
   "What are you talking about?"
   "Mr Hamid is a monster! He told me to wait and see what will happen in exams."
   "What are you saying isha? Do you mean he....... " she stopped talking abruptly and started thinking about how to tackle the problem but couldn't find the best solution.
   "It's OK." Amal broke the silence finally. "We have to keep praying you know prayer is a powerful weapon and we will find the easy way to deal with him okay? Now let's go and attend the lecture it's already 2 oclock." She retorted while holding isha's hand and they leave.
