FEAR OF LOSING YOU

FOLY-9

After confrontation with Luboid,Zamina zoomed out of the room only to be met with the Principal.

PRINCI:"Zamina"

ZAMI:"Yes sir"

PRINCI:"Is Luboid inside?I want to talk to him"

ZAMI:"Yes sir.He is inside"  She was about to go when Principal stopped her.

PRINCI:"I want to talk with you too.Please come with me" Without any option left,she nodded and followed him inside.

     Lub was in a dilemma when Princi entered with Zamina.Lub stood up immediately.

PRINCI:"Are you free Luboid?"

LUB:"Yes sir.Anything important?"

PRINCI:"Yes.Zamina,come and join us" All three settled in the large rectangular table.

PRINCI:"Well.I called you both here to ask your opinion regarding an issue"

LUB:"Issue?Is anything serious sir?"

PRINCI:"No.Not at all.Just your views about it"

ZAMI:"About what sir?"

PRINCI:"How about conducting an intercollege competition?"

LUB:"Nice idea sir"

ZAMI:"Yes sir.Indirectly,everyone will get to know about our college too"

    At that Lub threw a glare at Zamina which she ignored ROYALLY!After talking about the competition for sometime,Princi left leaving Lub & Zami alone!   Zami started walking out when,

LUB:"Zamina"

ZAMI:"Khan"

LUB:"What?"

ZAMI:"It's Ms.Khan for you SSSSSSIIIIIRRRRRR" She stressed the word SIR.Luboid sighed.

LUB:"I told you to call me 'senior'"

ZAMI:"No.I won't.What would you do?"

LUB:"Why are you mad at me now?"

ZAMI:"Don't act like you don't know anything"

LUB:"I really don't know.Please tell me clearly"

ZAMI:"Fine!Why do you leave me ALL THE TIME?"

LUB:"Excuse me?All the time?"

ZAMI:"Yes.Every single time"  With that Lub understood about what ' LEAVING ALONE 'she was talking about.He decided to play with her.

LUB:"All.The.Time?Really?"  He punctauted each word.  "Could you please point out 'HOW MANY TIMES & WHEN I left you ALONE"  He whisphered the last word.Without knowing that he was playing,Zami started to blurt out EVERYTHING!He folded his hands and waited for her to start.

ZAMI:"Ok.Fine.Let me point out.Point No:1"   She stretched her index finger in front of his eyes which amazed him.  "Yesterday.After giving my b'day gift and questioning me.Without even waiting for my answer you left me"

LUB:"Any other events?"  He was expecting that she would say ANOTHER SIMILIAR situation.

ZAMI:"Ofcourse"  She was literally shouting.He mentally thanked for the sound proof doors.Her shout brought him out of his thoughts.  "Last year last day of college,after finishing the exams,I came to meet you"

LUB:"What for?"

ZAMI:"To apologise.Don't you dare interrupt me"

LUB:"Oh.Ok"   He signed like he zipped up his lips.

ZAMI:"Good"  She stretched her next middle finger now and continued.   "Yes.When I came to apologise,that day too you asked me a question.Like yesterday,before I could reply you pushed me away.You left me"  She whisphered the last line and her voice faltered.She quickly composed herself and looked straight into his eyes.  "Now do you remember what I'm saying?"

Her eyes were blazing with anger.Luboid felt she was sooooooooo cute and wanted to pinch her cheeks and console her.But,he stopped himself.

LUB:"Wow wow wow.You have a good memory power.You rememberer everything.Right?"

ZAMI:"Yes.Ofcourse.I won't forget things which affects me.Both happy or sad"

LUB:"Good.Can I ask you a doubt?"

ZAMI:"Yes"

LUB:"You said that I left you at both situations after asking a question.Isn't it?"

ZAMI:(Without understanding his intention)"Yes"

LUB:"You also said you remember things which you like the most.Am I right?"

ZAMI:"Ofcourse.Now why are you asking all this?"

LUB:"Wait wait.If you could remember everything,you should also remember THE QUESTION I ASKED TOO.   Am.I.Right?"  

Now,Zami was stuck!

ZAMI:"Wh..wh..what? How are they"  She was cutoff.

LUB:"If that's true,then that is a happy memory for you.Correct?"

    He smirked on seeing her stammering.

LUB:"Whatever I said is true.Now answer my question.What do you feel for me?"    By that time  Zami had composed herself.

ZAMI:"Why should I answer your question?"

    Lub raised his eyebrow at her question.

ZAMI:"Why are you silent?Answer me.Why should I answer your question? Who am I to you or who are you to me?And you always run away from me right?Then you have no right to question me" 

    Luboid was left speechless at her questions.Though her questions angered him,he realised that they were true.

LUB:(In mind)"Ofcourse she is right.I was the one who always ran away from her.It is me who is at fault and my anger is unjustifiable.But how could she ask that what I was to her?Doesn't she know who she is to me?" His anger rose to seventh sky.

    Without thinking anything he moved closer to her making her take backsteps and caged her between himself and the door.His eyes were spitting fire.

LUB:"How dare you ask such a question to me?Don't you know what you are to me?How could you?How could you question me like this Zamina Khan?" He shouted scaring her.

ZAMI:(Hiding her fear)"What's wrong in my question?Think twice Mr.Luboid Jabalah.You will get to know that my reasons and questions are justifiable" She pushed him away and tried to control her uncontrollable heart.

 LUB:"You really can't understand anything?Do you?"  It seemed as if he has lost his voice.Zami turned towards Lub.

ZAMI:"What?" She scrunched her eyebrows.   "Say whatever you want to say clearly"

LUB:"You hurt me today with your questions"He hung his head down.

    Zami moved and stood in front of Lub.

ZAMI:"So do I.Not only today.But many times" She said & left the room.

Luboid looked at the closed door with confusion and recalled her words.
