Bray pressed the calling button on the left corner side.
"You remember , what you promised right?" I asked him making aware of his promise once again.
"Offcourse!! I wont utter a single word and wont create any scene Or trouble to you" he said assuring me as usual.
"Yeah lets see " I replied.
After 2-3 minute I again pressed the calling bell as there was no response for earlier one .
"I think there is no one in the house. We should hav..." As I was about to complete my sentence when bray gaze shifted behind me.
I turned and saw an old aged lady with grocery bags in one hand. She was wearing a dim pinkish colored long top with brown long skirt and a scarf covering her neck.
"Can I help you, kids? " She asked.
"Actually we wanted to meet the owner of this house but it seems like no one is here" I said , hoping her to reply.
"I am the owner of this house whats the matter? " She asked.
WAIT SHE LIVES WITH HER PARENTS!! WHO COULD BE THIS PERSON TO ALIANA...WHOULD SHE BE HER MOTHER...NO SHE IS TOO OLD TO BE HER MOTHER . MUST BE HER MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER OR... HEY YOU TOLD SHE LIVES ALONE - Bray .
he turned towards me for a response of his thought.
"Can you please be silent!!! " I merely shouted at bray as his thoughts were so loud for me to focus on the situation.
But now thanks to bray that from my sudden reaction lady got a suspicious look on her face.
"But kid... he didnt say anything " She said looking at me with a slight confusion.
Thats when bray took the id from my hand showed it to the lady.
"Grandma leave that...my friend is a psychopath..just ignore him....actually the thing is we were looking for this person to return her id. Do you know her? " He asked.
She adjusted her high power specs and had a deep look at id pic.
"Ohh... Its Aliana she lives on the room above this storey. There!! " She pointed towards the stairs which leaded to the Apartment above as it was 2 storey building.
" But she is not back yet from her work " She said.
"Ohhh thank you!! " I bowed thanking her .
"Is she related to you? Like grand daughter Or something like that " Bray asked her.
" No! its my apartment , She lives here in rent " She said.
"Oh then do you... " Bray started with his investigation but I dragged him unable to complete it and walked towards the passage.
"Hey hey I had something to ask? " He said releasing himself from my grip making me stop.
"ohh you always do " I said stamping over his foot hardly which made him scream.
"Ouuuccchh!! Ouch! Ouch! Hhh it hurts man. I ami not supernatural. " He screamed holding his leg.
"ohh maybe Thats the reason I did it then " I replied.
WHY IS THIS KID SO HARSH ON HIS FRIEND IS HE REALLY A PSYCHOPATH ... ITS WEIRD... WHY ARE THEY FIGHTING OVER ALIANA'S ID. DOES SHE KNOW THEM OR ARE THEY STALKER - Old lady.
As I heard I realised that she was having a watch on us.
I turned towards her and tried to give her a warm smile which I think wasnt much help for the thoughts of misunderstandings in her mind, so I decided to leave that place as soon as possible.
" Lets leave now " I said to bray who was busy sitting at stairs step examining his foot.
"Yeah and you should carry me now" He said with a grudge look.
We both started walking towards the nearest bus stop we could find according to our google maps
"I had sent our location to Grayson ? " Bray said as we reached near the bus stop.
"why don't you come with me? you always prefer going back home through bus. You are insulting my mercy {his car}.." he said though he already knew the answer of his question.
"because I prefer travelling alone to home than going with you" I replied.
"seriously !! you and your weird preferences of yours." he said nodding.
**************************
Its 6 pm now and I am waiting for my bus , its been almost half an hour but there is no sign of any single bus to my direction and even bus stop also seems like a isolated . So, I started reading my book as I love outdoor reading .
I usually love those books which are regarding human behaviour or criminal or any scifi psychology stuff because I always wanted to be a prosecutor Or work in any crime branch office as an investigator Or something.
As I was reading I saw one bus arriving at the stop but I was too enjoying my idle time that thought of skipping it and late that I realised I started to repeat over and over , its when my phone started to vibrate and saw aunt Lindas caller id .
I checked the top screen of my phone and found its 8:45 PM NOW!!
I Picked up the call enduring my thoughts.
"hey Linda" I said expecting an angry scream from other side.
And I was right.
"ZANE !! YOU KNOW WHATS THE TIME IT IS??!!" she nearly burst my ear.
"hhuuhh!! you know that my ears are way tooo sensitive than others.." I said mocking pain in my voice.
"yeah!! but that's not my question's answer MR PARKER" she replied in a threatening voice.
(And when Aunt Linda addresses me with my last name with due respect then its a warning to stop what I am doing or it will lead to silent torture of her when I get home)
"Actually I am on my way dear.... Dont worry I will be home before 10 ... I am at bus stop " I said.
"You again got lost in your book at bus stop... How many times I had told you zane to comeback home early Or inform me if you get late !! " She sounded disappointed.
"Yeah yeah I am sorry.... Again" I said.
"Ok come fast home I am starting to prrpare dinner... Make sure you get home before it gets cold ok?" She said calmly.
"Yup dear!! Muahhh.... See yaa.. Cant wait for the dinner". I said teasing cheerfully.
" Hmmmm....come home safely..bye " She ended the call.
I smiled by the thought of having her in my life more like mother than an aunt.I dont know what would have I done without her.
Linda works as a nurse. Usual days she gets back home after work by 7 pm and thats when she needs me to be there Or I would be getting a torture calls until I am not in front of her.
Sometimes when I used to reach home late I could just hear her worrying thoughts from the kitchen to all the way main door.
I packed my bag and plugged my headphones when I saw bus approaching.
I stood up and walked towards the line to get in though I didnt notice when the line was even created ...
As bus stopped, people started to get down and thats when I saw ALIANA... Ohh noo..
What should I do now ? Should I skip this bus and go to her Or should I take the bus?
As I was struggling between my contradict actions some one pushed me from behind to go forward.
"Cmon man get in if you want "
"Aahh sorry " I said getting out of the line making the way for others to get in.
As I turned in search of her I found her crossing the road.
I ran towards her to catch up but lost as signal turned green again.
I would have shouted her name but I felt kind off awkward to do that (I dont why.. But if bray was there he would have definately done that)
As I crossed the road I found her going towards the lane which I suppose didnt lead to her direction towards home.
Where is she going? I thought of following her as the road was quite silent even street lights werent working properly which indeed giving a horror effects.
So I decided to follow her.
