I promise if you see me now, you'd think I am trying to imitate a penguin, my walk simply resembles it. One reason is my cramps and other, that I fell down near the corridor. Some person had to push me because someone called her name.
She apologized for it but Meerub isn't convinced. She started to fight with her. I got up with a lot of effort and pulled her with me. She started filling scenarios of Asad being here and him helping me. That made me warm inside and got me chastising her for her irrelevant but tempting thoughts.
I try to divert my mind and stop blushing while thinking about him. But that simply seems like an impossible task. Okay fine, I'm missing him. Too much, too bad. He isn't here though...
Fine I should stop this. Stawp! But Meerub giggles while she looks at me but suddenly keeps her face blank and enquires in a pretend deep voice, "Are you alright, Ms. Shareef?" I smack her in the back and try to walk past her. Key word 'try'.
I stop moving with a wince. Shit, I sprained my ankle. "Hey! What happened? Is it paining somewhere?" I nod my head and said, "I think I just sprained my ankle." She immediately examines my ankle with avid concentration.
"Oh no, it's swelling, yaar? How will you go home now?" I smile at her that comes out as a wince, "Don't worry. I'll reach home earlier than usual. No session today, remember? Abbu will be busy today and I don't want to call bhai. But don't worry, the bus will be less crowded today. Okay?"
It seemed like I convinced her but universe isn't with me today. Extra crowded than usual, the bus arrives. I can't wait for another bus, because I'm getting painful cramps and its getting severe.
I don't have water with me and mom doesn't allow tablets or medications for stomach ache. My first day always contains of very severe aches, we even consulted a gynecologist and thankfully she said I'm healthy.
Nothing serious about this, because a few people get these kinds of cramps on their first day alone. It's pretty normal for me to get these issues and these kinds of severe cramps. Atleast that's what she said. But during working days, it is a customized hell for me.
Bus stops at the next station but again my fate doesn't stop tormenting me. A girl with high heels stamps my leg for keeping balance. Happy thing is that my right ankle was attacked, again. Yay!
Thank you universe, for being with me all the time. Shit, that hurts like hell. My stop comes and I try to exit the bus fast but the pain is too much. I get down and the bus conductor asks me, scratch that yells at me to move faster.
Huh! Go away uncle! I don't say that loud, cause I have no energy in me.
I start to walk towards my home, yes I reached it! After washing the hands and legs, I enter the living room. I saw my mother and heard of asking me to put my footwear in the shoe rack. I bend down to oblige the order.
When I stood straight to look at her, I found black dots appear in front of my eyes. Confused, I closed my eyes and heard my mom shouting my name in a concerned tone, then "Inaraa, call Shamli Aunty and your dad. Now!"
Everything turned black... hello darkness, my old friend...
-----( time skip )-----
Faint noises of my mom could be heard, as I slowly open my eyes. It's all black again and blink to get clear vision. I see street lights from the window, then I came to realization that I fainted. I concentrate on my mother's voice that actually woke me up.
"She actually fainted Imaan, I just panicked. Her leg was all swollen. I didn't know what to do! Let her wake up once, then she'd see my wrath." What logic is this my god? She literally just said that she was angry because I fainted?!
