It's All In The Mind √

Chapter Seventeen

Shaahid got in with a smile. Adnan Sami stared at him in dismay.

" What do you want? "

" Explanation to your illicit activities. " , Shaahid took a seat.

Immediately his fat face lost color. And he stared in silence.

Shaahid smiled wider.
" Who suspends a child because he protested against you destroying his hard work? "

" Oooh....
So you are Azaad's lawyer now. " , Adnan looked relieved.

" I'm a lawyer of everyone who is wronged. " , Shaahid kept smiling.

" Now you will tell me what's wrong and what's right? "

" Why can't I? If you are the principal, I too am a teacher. If you can suspend people, I too can bring them back. "

" Oh really? Let's see what you can do. He'll remain suspended for a month. "

Shaahid got up.
" Fine then. It's a deal.
If you don't call his mother right in front of me, I'll predict something that might not be very good for you. "

" Hahah!! Are you threatening me with your bullshit again? "

Shaahid shrugged.
" I don't have time to waste. I'm leaving. But if you don't get him back within one hour, your uncle will start talking from tomorrow. "

Shaahid left the room.

Adnan Sami was sweating hard.
He immediately picked up the receiver.

Sakina stood alone on the roof, gloomily, when she saw a boy of around fifteen get in through the main gate, talking to the guard.

" Who's he Gafoor? " , Sakina shouted.

" He wants to meet you madam zi! He has some important message. " , he shouted back.

" Send him. "

Azaad put forward an envelope.
Sakina took it with a surprise.
" Who are you?
And who sent this? "

" I'm Azaad. Salman Sir sent it for you. " , Azaad said in a blunt tone.

" Salman??
He sent a letter??
Why couldn't he call or meet?? "

" I don't know. He gave it to me yesterday and told to give it to you. If you can see, it's sealed. So you might know why he couldn't call or meet better than me. "

Sakina wasn't convinced. She stared at the envelop in dismay.

Azaad turned to go.

But stopped midway.

" Were you his girlfriend? " , he turned.

" What do you mean by 'were' ? I am his fiance. " , Sakina frowned big time.

Azaad took sometime. Then broke into a large smile.

" Doesn't matter.

You are / were his fiance / girlfriend, only in your dreams. "

He ran straight out of the house, down the garden and out of the gate.

While Sakina tore open the envelop in rage, unable to gather the intent of that boy's delirious words.

Shaahid walked into Raqib Miya's clinic.
The old doctor of seventy five was one of the biggest hopes of Fareedpur.

His speciality was that, he would know exactly what's wrong with the patient just by staring at his belly.

Even if it was a headache, he would stare at their belly.
Even if it was toothache, he would stare at their belly.
Even if it was a fractured foot, he would stare at their belly.
