"Itna kya soch raha hain?" Nasim asked Saad who is lost in some thought.
"Mujhe na lagta hain Ahana kuch chhupa rahi hain" Saad replied.
"Agar chhupa bhi rahi hain to tujhe kya!!"
"Hm..pata nehi main bhi kyu uss ladki ke bare mein soch raha hu. Khamakha time waste" Saad said.
Saad came to his room and took the t-shirt from the closet. Something fell on the floor .
Saad leaned down and saw the blue glass bangle that he had taken from the grass that day.
A to Ahana ka hain. Thinking this he throw the bangle into the trash.
But again thinking someting he picked them up and put them on the dressing table.

It is raining very hard. May be a heavy storm will be come .
Ahana is sitting with all the windows closed. Her roommates is not in room.
After sometime the electricity is went off. She light up a candle.Everything must be done before the candle is extinguished.
After completing everything she put off the candle and lay down.
On thebOther side
Saad is standing on the balcony. He closed his eyes and stood on the balcony getting wet in the rain.
"Hii Maa. Kaisi hain aap!! Haan acchi to rahengi hi aapka beta jo har waqt aapka kheyal rakhta hain. Pata hain Maa aaj na mujhe bohot dukh sa mehsoos ho raha hain pata nehi kyu! Aapko pata hain?" He paused for a second and then again said.
"Mujhe pata hain aap janti hain. But hamesha ki tarha aap bolengi ki khud ka problem khud solve karne ke liye. Thik hain zada nehi bhigunga dant kyu rahi hain"
The rain has subsided.He came back to the room after wiping the water from his hair with hands.He took the towel and stood in front of the mirror to wipe his head.
Uss ladki ne medicines liya ya nehi kuch pata bhi nehi hain. Kitni himmat hone pe lok prescription road pe fek sakte hain!
Next day morning
Ahana's Pov
I wake up in the morning and started reading book. I will not go college today.
Agar ghar pe rahungi to bhuk lagegi...usse accha college jati hu. Rupa ke saath baat kar lungi ...bhuk bhi nehi lagegi.
I came out of house after eating the yesterday rice. I came face to face of Tarek Rahaman the Householder.
"Assalamualaikum Uncle , kyse hain aap!" I asked her.
"Walaikum assalam. Tumse ek baat thi ishliye rukne ko bola."he said.
"Ji boliye"
"Dusre college ki do ladkiya yahan rahne ki request kar rahi hain. Wo log bol rahe hain 1 saal ka kiraya advance bhi kar denge. Aur tumhara do mahine ka kiraya baki hain. Ek mahine mein tum us do mahine ka kiraya de do nehi to main un ladkiyo ko rakh lunga"
I kept silent and said "ok"
I started walking quietly. I must found a tuition today.
*****
I came in University. Rupa today not came. Without her the University is lifeless.
I am staring out of the window while put my hands on my cheek.
