Chapter 17 - TELLING LIE

Sara is walking hiddenly inside the mechanic shop and without making any sound when the clock is striking 2:00.a.m. Humayun, concentratedly doing a tedious work, says suddenly,

"Got late once again!"

Sara whispers, "Shit Man!

She feels embarrassed but changes her facial expressions immediately and says.

"Yes!"

Mr. Niaz pretends as he doesn't know and asks, suppressing his laughter, "Well, I thought that you were trying to walk hiddenly."

Sara refuses nervously, "Mmm… Aaa, Nope! Yeah, I mean no!"

Mr. Niaz Bukhsh asks further, "Didn't you use your bike?"

Sara seems still nervous,

"Yeah! I mean, actually I forgot!"

Mr. Niaz Bukhsh says "Okay! You must have to be punctual. Well, I am going to work outside, by the way, what would you like to take? Tea or Coffee?"

Sara refuses with a pleasured smile, "No, Nothing! Thanks!"

Mr. Niaz Bukhsh goes outside with a sweet smile.

Sara says to Humayun,

"Hey friend! What are you doing?"

Humayun replies calmly, "I am not your friend!"

She asks curiously, "But why?"

"Because you tell lies." He replies.

She becomes seriously astonished,

"What?"

He tells,

"You didn't get late today. Actually, you didn't go back to your hostel because you wanted to come here."

"No! This is also not true! Actually, first time in my life, I jumped over the closed gate!"

She replies immediately.

Humayun responds, "But you told a lie!"

Sara keeps quiet, feeling embarrassed.

He asks, "Don't they punish you?"

"Yes, they punish petulantly" She replies.

He asks further, looking at her bandaged hand "Oh! So this is the reason you have a broken hand!"

She laughs and says, "No, My hand is not broken and they don't punish me this way. I just got injured when I got struck by a car, a few days ago!"

"Oh!" He replies, "Do you know about the bomb blast?"

She becomes amazed, "What, No!"

He adds, "It must be done by the Man In Black too, in my view!"

She replies shortly, "Might be!"

Humayun says, standing up, "Now, you have to go back! And listen, don't come at night. It is too late, I am also going to close the shop."

"Are you also afraid of the Man in Black?" She asks, suppressing her laughter.

Humayun replies coldly, "What? Never! We don't really know who he is! Once I get him caught, I will not leave him veiled anymore!"

Sara replies, "He might not be a human! I think he is an alien!"

Humayun says, "Of course, he is! All I want is to see him!"

After the passage of a few minutes talking to him, she leaves with a smile.
