"Oh god, who are you guys, and why you are burning this house down."
Austin was about to leave when he heard a girl yelling at them.
Enola was sitting under a rooftop of the garden passing her time alone and enjoying nature, the rain seemed to slow down a bit and children were playing football when she smelled something burning around there. She thought maybe someone was burning rubbish but soon she realized that who will be this much fool to burn waste on a rainy day. She thought what if someone's house caught fire by accident? She warned those children to leave the place and hurriedly ran to search where the fire was caught. And then she witnessed a group of men burning a house in this weather. She got awestruck but regained her sense and her curious self, pushed her to get more into this matter.
"What are you looking at tell me, why are you guys burning this house down that too in this weather?"
Austin looked at her but was in no mood to reply back. He just took one last glance at the burning house and tried to leave from there ignoring her fully. Enola looked at him in disbelief how dare that robot-like human being ignore her? She ran towards him and stopped before, in his tracks.
"How dare you ignore me, I am asking something. tell me"
"Who are you all, Are you from a building construction company? Why are you burning this house, that too a demolished house? As per my memory, I remember it was completely fine until yesterday why are you breaking it then, is this your property? Answer me what are you looking at?"
She put her hands on both sides of her hip and looked at him raising her eyebrows. She was holding her eye contact with him directly not afraid of anything even though she was standing between those robust men.
Austin kept silent thinking what he could possibly answer to this girl. Seeing her questioning like this he understands he cannot just say anything to make her calm, she is a talking machine or question gun. He coughed a bit, practicing what to reply to this maniac.
"Miss we are; we are from a building breaker company."
"What is this building breaker? Why are you breaking it? Isn't it public property.?"
"It is miss, that is why, and we have our documents for this and the deadline was today so we had to do this even in such weather."
"What type of company it is! Who is the owner of this company?
He got stopped again and then sighed
"He stayed overseas ma'am, so we employees don't know his name actually, I mean he is not friendly enough."
"What type of employee are you.?"
This time he got annoyed he had to be patient because she had done nothing to him but looks like his gun would talk in the meantime if she did not stop her chatterbox.
"And who are you miss, government?"
This time she became silent and pulled her aside not involving herself more in this matter. They are not looking healthy types of people to talk. She kept her mouth sealed and stood there.
"You have anything to say?"
She shook her head as a no and decided to leave from there, she walked a little bit only to turn again for him to ask her query.
"Can I ask one more thing?"
"No"
Austin replied without even his knowing. His tongue slipped, but didn't correct that. He is in no mood to talk with her. Enola pouted her lips at the rejection but didn't give up she came a little closer not intending to close the conversation.
"Why you guys are wearing such clothes that look extra to be a worker's uniform."
"We maintain professionalism miss."
"What kind of professionalism is this? She asked again
Even at this point, she was frustrated at herself too, why she is engaging herself more in this
Austin had his enough, He held back his anger, and this time he decided to leave first before she opened her mouth again. He just buttoned up his jacket and left from there unbothered. Because if he stands one more minute there he will surely end up in jail or a mental house.
"Where are you going now?" she shouts to stop him as he left from there.
"Your home, meet me there." He replied with annoyance not turning around
Austin closed his eyes holding his fist tightly. Who is she he thought how can a person be this much talkative that too with him. He must have woken up in the morning after seeing the wrong face that is why he stuck to interact with this girl.
"That's rude and how dare you talk to m….
He left from there didn't even let Enola to finish her words. Enola narrowed her eyes mumbling
"May you drown in your bathtub rude ass."
She looked at the burning house again and all the black outfit guys. For some reason she got little bit afraid of the situation seeing those man to stand there, she refused to process anything right now what was happening and whether whatever he said was truth or not she had enough for today, and sending a last glance she left from there.
But only if she knew a pair of eyes had gawking at her since the beginning, was enjoying her each and every movement. His lips were tugged into a playful smile. He was feeling happy to see Austin was trapped in her question.
He neither blinks his eyes nor erases his attention from her. He again leaned in his car seat smiling on his own. Even the devil will feel deceived to witness him smiling this soothingly, how the heaven felt remorse for not having this angelic creature with them. He again looked in his car's side mirror watching her going away. He looked at her until she disappeared from his eye sight, uttering only one thing….
"Enola Sheridan"

"Technically literature is an art. Only an insane human being can possess this in their bloodline. The art of your course should be in your veins till now but you all are such a disgrace to be my student or be the students of literature."
Professor Aylin Gomez was ranting each and every student of her class.
Of course where Enola was sitting there half sleepy. Why she had to attend her class God. What she had done in her past life that she is suffering so much in life. She looked at her report paper 92, exactly she scored and almost every student had slayed their reports for sure. How much more she expects from us, she wondered sighing.
"Anyway why am I even lecturing, when obviously you guys are not listening even a damn thing I am trying to put in your idiotic mind. What the hell are you guys going to do after graduation I am worried."
"This is not necessarily important ma'am to get full marks on every question paper"
One of the boy raised his points of view
"Who said that? Justin you? Stand up now."
"Now tell me.. what are you saying..clear and loud."
"Ma'am you are an amazing teacher, you put great efforts on us, we admit that but a report paper cannot decide someone's future. We all scored above 80% and legibly it's a very good average marks any class could get."
Anyone knows how to speak glad to know, Enola thought. How much she wanted to open her mouth but she cannot digest anymore suspension.
"Justin, obviously your marks do matter. How are you going to compete with the rest of the world, with what are you going to win, having that sharp mouth of yours with empty brain."
"Ma'am world is transforming even faster than the speed of air. And many oppertuni….
"Now see what you just said, don't even know that light is a universal fastest speed limit? you said air dumb surely just a big mouth guy good for nothing."
She didn't even let him finish, she interrupts not going to beat by a mere student Enola scoffs observing everything.
"I know ma'am I was just using that for....
This time she raised her hand indicating to stop talking anything further.
"Let's call it a day for today, I am done does anyone have anything to say.?
She fixed her glasses throwing not so pleasing look to the students.
Everyone looked towards Enola whose lips were tugged in displeased, a pen settled on her upper lips suddenly got stunned seeing every eyes were on her.
"What" Enola asked surprised why everyone was expecting from her
"Of course Miss. Sheridan how can I forget you, you definitely have something to bark on my face."
She said in her sarcastic tone. Enola stand up to reply her back.
"Pardon me, Miss if I ever said something which is as similar as barking, but I will keep my mouth shut for today. I am on my hiatus ma'am. Oh reason behind is I have taken an oath for not to speak anything before the midnight today."
"Why midnight?"
"I wished for a husband Miss, a billionaire so that whatever my reports card show I do not have to get worried for my future. So I have to keep my oath."
Enola replied sarcasm with a sarcasm, of course after scolding herself in her mind. Cannot really hold her mouth back before saying anything, she was anyway proud of herself no doubt on it. The whole class burst out into laughter hearing her making Miss. Aylin to cross her last ounce of patient.
She was about to bash her back when the principle barged into their classroom. Everyone stand up in unison to greet him, making completely shut Miss Aylin to said anything further maybe it was a lucky day for Enola.
"Students here I came to made a very special announcement. A new trustee has been opened for the students of your department mean to say for literature's student. And the owner of that trustee just joined us. It's pleasure for us to work with such an intelligent, powerful, ambitious and talented person like him. Please welcome….
"Mr. Damien Adler."
