As usual I slept at 2 o'clock in the morning as I woke up at around 8:30 after watching anime late at night.But the reason for me sleeping late at night isn't solely because of me watching anime but because of the uneasy and irritating feeling I am having lately.
I think the reason I am having this kind of irritating feeling more and more at nights because at nights we usually stop doing things and don't concentrate on many things this is when all the discomforts and irritating feeling i have been having gets enhanced due to me concentrating on it more when i have nothing else to do.any way even with this kind of feeling i can't stop my regular days .and today an event is being held in our campus which is the only one we will be having in our whole academic year.
As i got ready i kept having calls from my friends who have been waiting for me quite.. a while.I dont have much expectations or interest in the event though.They are bringing a singer who is becoming famous at this time.But that's it every other event is not that great or has put much thought or investment into it.
After getting ready I started to go to the event site on campus .i met my friends we took some pictures and started to see around and any thing didn't pique my interest i was bored.Some of my friends went to grab some drinks .As i am in 'i don't drink 'faction i didn't go with them.And the remaining friends were thinking of going to a restaurant
And i don't have much money on me so I didn't go with them either.as they all went to their destinations i was thinking of going back to the hostel room and started walking.that was when i saw her.
A foreign women who looked like she looked as if she was 27 to 30 years old.For some reason i felt as if i know her.She was so mature and beautiful as of she was a model of some sort.If were to try and describe her she was like a divine being .But strangely even when a foreigner was roaming around in our campus ,no one interacted with her as if they couldn't see her .Even if a foreigner were to visit our state there was no reason for them to visit our college.Even if they were to see the event board and came inside of curiosity they wouldn't come alone and would try to reach out to someone for the information.
But… she was not asking anyone for any sort of information and watching everything without any concern and even acted as if she could understand our language. Generally in a situation like this I wouldn't get involved and think that there are many other people around who can speak English and have much greater communication skills than me would eventually go and help her .But for some reason I wanted to go and talk to her.how… unlike me?
I slowly approached her and started the conversation.
"Excuse me mam,may I help you in any way?"
As I spoke she didn't even react to my words as if i didn't talk to her at all.I was at my limit to begin with by starting the conversation.It took my all to just say those words but now it's even more embarrassing.At that moment i wanted to crawl into a hole disappear .But it is even more embarrassing to suddenly stop and go away .so,i tried speaking to her once again.
"Um…excuse me mam"
"Huh!....Are you talking to me?"
"Yes i was trying to speaking with you"
For some reason she seemed very shocked when I spoke to her a second time.And when i am around her i have a different kind feeling as if i was speaking to my mom .Yes strangely i felt somehow connected to her.
"Ah sorry I was not paying attention ."
"It's alright mam it is kind of noisy around here.May I ask you what you were doing here."
"me,I just saw the board outside and came in to see how the event was being held?"
"There is not much going on here mam.i don't think it would entertain you in any way"
"Is that so .I was enjoying just looking around.It was refreshing."
I don't know how to judge people but she is weird .And i don't know the reason but she felt somehow very superior that i was talking to her in a formal language without even realizing it myself.She gave this superior and motherly aura .but ,at the same time i was somehow feeling pressured like i was being judged.
"You should go before it gets late mam.It's hard to get a ride once it gets dark."
"Oo my thank you.But could you help me with something".
"Ah! Yes sure mam".
The woman asked me if I would show her to a hotel in a nearby city. For a foreigner to not have a hotel when they come to a rural area .. even though I felt something was not right .I told myself that not all people are punctual and plan everything out before doing something.
I took her to a big hotel that i know in the city near by.After showing her the hotel she asked me to help her take the souvenirs she bought at the remappa (a tourist place near by) and said that she wanted to treat me for helping her even though i refused countless times because of me being a pushover i couldn't refuse her.
As I entered the room I felt goosebumps all over my body . My whole being was saying that it was dangerous and was telling me to run away from that place . I pleased her belongings on the nearby table and turned around to say my greetings and leave the place .
At that moment when I saw her I felt like I was seeing something out of this world. I felt as if I was falling from the sky and was out of breath.
The area around me was no longer the same .The whole space in the room was distorted. At that movement she only said one thing which was exactly the thing I wanted to say but in a wholly different tune and manner.
"WHO .. ARE ..YOU ?"
At this point I didn't know that my courage of choosing to talk and help this woman would gravely change my life.
