Eclipsing Her

15. Meeting

"So, you are Mariana Noor..Age 16..." Mr. Thomson said.

After the phone call, we came straight to Mr. Thomson's office, Antony's friend. His office was 2 Hours away. So we didn't wait a second after having breakfast. Mr. Thomson seems to be in a gloomy mood all the time. Because I've never seen him smile for once since we came here. He has thick glasses on, medium length beard, white hair, golden eyes. He looks a bit weird. But it's ok..

"So What's his name? I mean the Jinnat's?" He turned his head at me from the desk

"Zain I guess... I'm not sure" his emotionless face showed a unknown emotion for a second then again became bold.

"Yes Zain it is.." he blurted, giving all his attention to the desk again..my social anxiety peeking in

"What!? You know-"

"Of course I know" he didn't let me finish and said "Every single one , who's aware of the unseen KNOWS HIM" he said still looking at something like notebook

"Tell me about all the incidents, that's recently happening to you" he insisted looking back at me

"So I-I" before I could say something, one of the stuff of the office knocked on the door "Sir, can I come in?"

"Yes. Come in" Thomson gestured me to hold on.

"Sir," he told him something in a sign language.

"Okay, lock the door before leaving" Thomson said. The stuff left the office and Thomson looked at me "So, Mariana..Could you please write me a email about the incidents? I've got a important meeting with someone very infrequent and significant" he said...there's a glint of emotion in his eyes. That I couldn't understand.

"Thom you seem very busy this days" Antony said trying to make the situation light and funny

"So do you Ant" Thomson said laughing

"You know thom, this is my only precious princess..And you have to get rid of that bastard off of her shoulder" Antony said putting his hand on my shoulder and side hugging me

"Yes, I'll leave no stone unturned" Thomas said grabbing something from his drawer "ok so little Missy, write me a email..it's my card" he said handing me a card

"Ok Mr. Thomson..Have a good day" I said shaking my head a bit

"Ok Thom..see you then.Tell me when you can meet us again" Antony handshakes with Thomson

"Okay stay safe. Take care you both"

We turned to leave. Antony already left through the glass door. I looked behind me to have a last look of the nice office but I caught Thomson weirdly staring at me. A dreadful feeling rises on my chest..To change the tension Thomson smiled immediately..I smiled back at him and left the office asap

Something is strange in his office along with his behaviour ...

My mood changed right away when Antony offered us to get ice-cream

Yayyyyy!!
My childish side jumped in!

At 4 Pm:

Currently I'm lying at my bed. Antony is taking rest and he gave me a job to babysit his three cats. So nice of him! I'm exhausted and I have to babysit three cats! No three babies! But I liked the job. I wouldn't want salary if it was a real job. Because staying all day and night with cats is a salary itself !
