(Her absence)
Unedited....
Another Ibrahim pov
Are you excited....Let's go.
Ibrahim's pov:
"Why the hell is she absent again?"I said to myself exhaling a deep breath,after checking attendence record again.
"Atleast I never wanted this........Why is she doing this?.........And what is happening to me now?........Whether she lives or dies ,it shouldn't concern me........But she was bullied because of you,Ibrahim saeed.Ahhh..."I was again fighting with my brain,but this time I couldn't help but agree.
"I wonder if everything is fine with Rania."Asher said to me breaking my chain of thoughts.
"Hmm,I already checked.Its her third absent today.She hasn't even informed her teachers.And her friend Aima doesn't talk to me,neither she tells anyone else I send."I said a little depressed.
"Oooohh,I thought you hated her,and look here you have collected this much information about her."Asher teased.
"Shut up Asher,Atleast I don't want myself to be blamed"I said annoyed .
"Then you shouldn't have held personal grudges with her.Now,look...She is missing and you are sulking everyday in university"He said equally annoyed by her absence.He likes her a lot.Arghh
"Asher,what should I do......"I stopped midway saying this,when an idea clicked in my mind.Her number.I instantly grinned ear to ear.I hugged Asher and ran towards my phone.I remembered taking her number from hospital that day.
"Where are you going bro?.....Ibrahim,Ibrahim...."Asher kept yelling,but I didn't answered.
**********************
"
What the hell has happened to me?"I asked myself while hitting my head against steering wheel.Right now,I was standing in front of her house, completely confused of her absence and my concern towards her. Dammit,I was never like this.I never followed anyone but I was followed by almost everyone.
I kept on calling her for several hours, yesterday but she never attended her phone.That made me even more anxious.I tried not to think about her,but my brain had a different story to tell.I hate my organs sometimes(some crave for coffee all the time,some think about useless things.)
Now that, I am standing out of her house,her guard told me,she doesn't live here anymore and he didn't knew her new house address as well.*sighs*
************************************
" Aren't you happy Rahim,that we patched up?"Maria asked me when we were sitting in our favourite restaurants eating Alfredo's pasta,which was my treat to her.
"No,offcourse darling.I am so happy .It's just some work load and...." I stopped my fork midway when I saw outside the glass window, Mahad was walking out of the chocolate store,with a basket full of chocolates.
May be he has to give it to all his friends.I thought.
Thanks to my love,I could stop thinking about Rania for some time.That night,Me and Maria talked on the phone whole night and then I went into a peaceful slumber.
**********************
My next morning was pleasent as well,until I saw the picture of that hospital record again while scrolling through my phone gallery.
May be she got into an accident,may be she committed suicide,May be she changed her university,May be she is crying again. All these thoughts kept on banging my head .Her teary eyes came to my mind again and I got worried yet again.
I reluctantly got ready for the university.I picked blue suit to wear today.Offcourse,looks matter the most.
***********************
"Any further questions?" I looked around.
"No questions.Then that's all for my presentation.I hope you understood it well.Thank you so much."I said and got off the stage and whole hall erupted in cheers and applause.
"It was a splendid presentation delivered by your fellow Ibrahim Saeed. I'll give him an extra five,for being such an aye candy" Our finance professor said and whole hall once again started hooting.See my looks are no joke.
**********************
"Why are you being like this,Ibrahim?" Asher asked me.
"What,why,no I was listening.Well what were you saying?" I said bewildered.
"Are you ok,I keep on saying things and you keep on ignoring me.No matter how much you ignore it,it is all your fault." Asher was now a bit angry.
"What's my fault?"I asked,I didn't heard him previously.
"You shouldn't have encouraged Maria.This morning ,I got to know what she did to Rania.This is so embarrassing.You also never stopped her.Now what if she changes her university.You know how difficult is to get admission here" Asher said while pointing to the name of university DASE.
The thought of her changing university pained me more than anyone.
"I agree.I shouldn't have encouraged her."I admitted.
"What are you guys talking about?" Maria came to the scene out of no where.
"I'm going.It's suffocating here."Asher stood up abruptly knocking the chair down.He is usually always calm,but here he lost his temper.I myself was shocked to see his reaction.May be his attraction is turning into affection.I thought.
"What happened baby.Is everything alright.Dont worry ,I'll make everything good."She said and I mentally scoffed.'she'll make everything good '
"Why aren't you answering? You look tired.Wait.I'll bring you a smoothie.Your favourite strawberry flavored.Only it will make you happy.I know." Maria said and went away.
********************
"Here you go,love" Maria came back with my favourite smoothie.No doubt,I love the flavour too much.I can't afford to leave the single drop in the glass.
"She finally showed up,the hijabi girl,Rania.She is in admin office corridor."I couldn't believe my ears at that time.I placed my smoothie on the table and practically ran towards the corridor.
"Have you seen Rania ,that hijabi?" I asked the same question to 3rd person,I met on my way.
"Yeah,she was here a moment ago,but now she left" The girl said.
"Where?" I asked desperately.
"Parking lot,I guess....." She was speaking something,but I couldn't afford to loose her one more time.
I just wanted to see her,then and there.
When I reached parking lot,I searched and searched until I found her.We formed an eye contact,and a smile formed on my lips on its own.
I wanted nothing more than thanking her for being alive,for not comitting suicide, for staying brave as always.I felt an urge to hug her.
I took the first step but then stopped ,when she was engulfed by an another pair of arms.Mahad was hugging her,but our eye contact was intact.
