It's All In The Mind √

Chapter Fifteen

" Why are you running away now, when you yourself invited the rains? " , Shaahid shouted as Sakina was escaping from the middle of the fields.

" Because if I fall sick, I cannot meet Salman in the evening. He has promised to come and he's very particular about contagious diseases. " , Sakina shouted back from a stall she took shelter in.

" How will you feel if you are invited to a birthday party, and seeing you the host runs away and locks herself inside the bathroom? "
Shaahid came and stood beside her.

She wiped droplets from her face.
" Do you really want me to believe, that the rain came because I called? "

Shaahid dropped his jaws.
" You don't believe that? "

Sakina shrugged.
" Nope. "

" Which means you don't believe too, that Salman called because you desperately wanted him to? "

" Nahh. He called because he had to. " , Sakina winked.

Shaahid now arched his brows, and stared at her.

" When did he say he'll come to meet you? "

" In the evening. "

" Sorry but....since you have no confidence in the power of willfulness, he won't come.
Mark my words. "

Shaahid grinned, and walked away, without looking back.

And Sakina felt, she would aim anything at hand, and break his head.

How could he do that to her ??

What if, whatever he said came true, once again, like everytime???

___

A dark woman, who looked more like a slender charcoal stick than a human opened the door.

" Is this Azaad Abdullah's house? "
Shaahid asked.

The woman frowned big time.
" Yes it is, but I don't like when people whom I don't know, come to meet him. Who is he? President of the world? "

Not even trying to tell her that the world as a whole doesn't have a president, Shaahid smiled.
" He's a good boy. I'm his teacher. Just came to know he's sick. So wished to meet him. "

" He's not sick. He's suspended for ten days.
I have decided to withdraw him from this dumb school. "

" Suspended???
But his friend told me he's sick. And why has he been suspended? "

" For chasing the principal when the mad fat scoundrel trampled a sapling Azaad planted in the school garden.

By the way, go away. I don't want my son to be in contact with anyone from that dumb school. " , she closed the door on his face.

Shaahid kept standing like a real dumb for a long minute before the closed door.

Until it reopened with Azaad standing with a smile.

" Hello Sir!! I knew you would come. Even though I did not let anyone know I'm suspended. "

Azaad's room had huge posters of Mike Tyson. Shaahid smirked.

" You want to box away people you hate, I guess. "

" I wish. But look at me instead, sitting at home suspended for no reason. " , Azaad sat on his bed and asked Shaahid to sit as well.

" It's not easy at a go. But one day maybe you can. "

" I don't dream to be a boxer. But yes, I wish to kick box everyone who messes with me when I'm your age. How do you handle life? "
