Chapter 6

I followed her as she jumped from the wall of her house tripping and falling on her knee, even though in loose corduroys I am sure she'd gotten bruise for sure, pulling the cap of her hoodie further she looked left and right, a little more right and she would have spotted me but she was too scared or in too much hurry not to see what she didn't want to.
She tightened the strap of the bulky backpack hanging loosely on her back and jumped another wall this time landing perfectly.
What am I doing here?
Parking my car
Because the house doesn't have front door parking and this conversation between two elders would take time so I volunteered to join my dad and uncle after I park my car on the back road safe especially after someone whom I also nicknamed as nasty bitch had mentioned her intentions of scratching my car
Who knew I might have another thriller to watch over here.
In the neighborhood I witnessed squabble between two ladies, actually not squabble but argument.
Arguing of two ladies and by argument I mean shrieking and yelling of two ladies who were about to pull each others hair but we all know they wont do it.
Pari however froze stood at the exact spot hiding herself between two huge earthen pots painted in white and brown waiting for the argument to die down.
I too joined her and hid myself with her.
I waited for a long time imitating her and trying to be discreet.
But how long could I wait as an audience and this sometimes feisty, sometimes shy, sometimes bitch sometimes vulnerable girl Pari is the best mode of entertainment in my life for the moment..
"Hey sshh" I called in a hushed voice as I hit her playfully with my elbows demanding attention.
"Ssshh.." she hushed me back.
"Now what?" I asked.
"Now I'll wait till the two disappear and then run?" she simply answered.
"Whyareyourunning?" I asked, my voice still a whisper.
"What?" She was so much focused on the task of eloping that she failed to reciprocate my presence besides her.
"What's ...the... run.. f or?" my voice still clipped to maintain the discreet.
"What?" she shouted irritated and looked at me.
Before I could reply she jumped "AAAAOOOOOWWWW" she shrieked out of her lungs scared to have a despondent to her act
"What are you doing here?" she asked both shocked and angry together.
"Finding out what you are up to." I answered simply my voice still hushed as a reflex.
"None of your business, now leave." She stood to leave but stopped "And you dare inform my parents of my run, you'll have to bare the consequences." She threatened extending her pointer on my face.
"What would you do once you are gone?" I asked amused at her adventurous elope. "Wait.. Are you running with a guy?"
"Shit" she pressed her lips into a thin line "That's all you can come up with. The answer is No and if you would lift your sorry ass I want to leave."
It was then I realized that I was blocking her way "Oops sorry" I shifted "but you know running is not an option. They'll chase you and it will be worst. And where will you go."
