Chapter 15 - A FRIENDSHIP CAKE

"You are punished!"

The hostel's mistress is scolding Sara petulantly.

"You have to clean all the three rooms all by yourself and to cook food for all of your roommates. I will check everything done at 12:00.p.m."

Kinza tries to say, "How can she do so? She is injured!"

The mistress shouts, "Don't you know who I am? I can punish you the same or more!"

As she leaves the room, Sara holds her hands and says to Kinza,

"It's my mistake to come late! Don't worry, I will do it!"

She does everything she was ordered to, till the time given. After lunch she gets ready and goes to the bakery, buys a cake and then goes to Mr. Niaz Bukhsh. As she reaches there, she sees him discussing something solemnly with Humayun.

"Hey guys! What's up?" She says aloud.

Uncle Niaz greets her happily but Humayun keeps quiet.

Sara says, "Hey, Ice-cube face! How are you?"

Humayunm turns his face away from her. She opens the box and shows them the cake.

Uncle Niaz asks, "What's this?"

"This is a friendship cake!" She replies.

"Friends Forever" is written over the cake. Humayun becomes astonished and cries,

"What?"

She completes her sentence, "For both of you!"

Humayun seems to be irritated. He turns and goes away. She gives over the cake to Mr. Niaz Bukhsh and pursues him hurriedly.

"Hey, you Mr. Ice-cube face!" She says.

Humayun ignores her and opens the bonnet of the car.

Sara adds, "I know you look at me disdainfully!"

He replies calmly, "No, I don't!"

She says emotionally,

"I know I am not as lucky as you are but there is no problem in being friends."

He keeps quiet and keeps doing his work.

She adds, "By your quietness I will assume yes for being friends forever."

Humayun still keeps quiet.

Sara says further, "Well! … I don't have much time. Today, I am going to complete my daily task by taking some new steps in my life."

She stands up and commences to walk outside.

"By the way, I felt jealous of you!"

She makes her way outside and shrieks aloud,

"I will come again. I will keep coming again and again!"
