Zay's pov

I wish i could stay longer in bed but there was something that was driving me to wake up and attend the event!

I was in a joyous happy feeling. very happy and excited about something i dint actually know..i just could not lay my finger on what was making me that excited.

It tried to snob the urge but i surrendered after it overcame me,i gave in!
****************
The event went on smoothly,we met different people wasted away the day had fun,laughed about all the funny and boring jokes but my anxiety was rising the more as the clock ticked.Surprisingly i felt sick yet i had no fever!

Zuheila noticed i was not in the mood and i excused myself and went to sit alone i the school hall.

The music was loud,the students were shouting loudly but i was lost in my own thoughts.

I noticed i was the loner in the hall but before i concluded my judgement,i noticed someone who was sitted on the far end of the hall.He was following the event but when i looked closer,i noticed he was lost in thoughts just like i was.
Something about him told me he was being disturbed by a situation that seemed out of hand for him.
In a way i forgot my thoughts and left my world.
I wanted to comfort him but i realised we were strangers to each other.

The rest of the day went so fast,time moved on so quickly I did not notice the event was over.
Even as i dragged myself back to my cubicle,his face could not leave my mind.i
I thought of what could have been bothering such a pretty face,could he have lost a loved one?I was all worried and stressed about the stranger.
I was in turmoil!
Crazy enough,i was coming up with solutions to end his problems.

His smile was captivating but it was a broken smile.I was thinking alot at some point i thought he even smiled back....but all this was just my wishes.

I had no peace from that day and my long journey of a thousand miles begun.If i knew what was in store for me,i would never have pursued it but destiny drives you to places you had not planned for.

My mysteries begun yet it was too painful-sweet to shed a tear,too hard to believe and extremely tough to even move on!
It was a situation that stuck me forever but i had no idea.....the future was so unclear!

That night i updated my journal,i wrote of anything and everything i could pour out from my heart,it kind of reduced but it never sealed the situation rather it opened up the more.
**************
"Hello zay!" the sound came from the other end of the line.

"Hello zuheila,i missed you!" I screamed.

"Its has been ages since we talked,anything cooking?"

"But we only talked last night c'mon,you one hell of a drama queen!" I laughed.

"Anyway zay,i took admission to some university in Turkey and i will be flying out next year!"

"No way i dont want that zuheila,i will be left all alone here!"

We were both screaming and whining on the cellphone when we realised we were in that situation for an hour.

I hanged up promising to drop by her the following day.

Ahmad's pov

It has now been almost two years since i set my eyes on the light skinned girl all curled up in a corner of that hall.She looked young but mature at the same time.
I looked for her everywhere but the search failed everytime i went to look for her.
I searched in all places,i looked for her schoolmates,visited her school to get her details but i realised she was just a year behind me.
She cleared from the school in 1993 just the year i had started my business course.

I kind of blamed myself for having lost her when she was so close..sitted just some seats away from me but how she looked made me think she was in no mood of talking.

I went round looking for her name in every social site,her home address in every documentary i came accross but it was like she never existed and she was all an imagination.Thanks to her, school i was able to access her name and address.
************
"Ahmad!,for how long will you go without food!" Uzeir asked me.
"For as long as i cannot have zay back in my life"

"But she was never a part of your life"

"She was Uzeir,you will never understand"

"Look dude it is time you hit the reality button and click back to your senses,at this rate,you will die of obsession instead of hunger"

Uzeir was my room mate in the university.For many reasons i avoided home,not to just get my freedom but to also get a break from all the sad mood home brought.

I was raised in a tough situation.My childhood was that which i never fancied.
This made me have a bitter life.

It affected my social life.
From the outside i was jovial but i was all broken and sad inside.
This made me question whether i would actually ever have kids of my own because marriage was an option i never thought of..........but with zay in the equation i hoped the situation would change.

She looked so harmless seated there
The cool breeze hitting her flawless skin.
Her face shinning in the morning sun.
She looked so stress-free,you wold never notice the toutgj situations she handled.
My love grew,aged and lonliness replaced
I let go an opportunity i can never get again and now am left writing my own memoir,sad ones

Slowly,i float away........i lived...i loved....i never laughed again....i lost........
