As she began to set her bed, Soha received a call from Sanal।
"Yes, Sanal. What's the matter?"
"Ah, Soha… I might make up for tomorrow's school. Are you okay with that?"
"It's fine… but why all of a sudden?"
"I have got some work to do at Cafè tomorrow so…"
"Oh, I understood, Sanal. Take care of yourself then."
"Sure, Soha. Talk to you later."
The call was hung off। She glanced at the time and immediately jumped into her bed। Though Sanal's demeanor was as usual Soha couldn't stand after knowing that Sanal's crush was she।
"Aah! Sanal! You've gone crazy, man!!"
Soon she fell asleep। Everything until Imran entered her life was going so smoothly as if it was a block of ice but as soon as he took entry, everything including her demeanor changed in a flash of light। Her whole life sounded like a comic book to her। She never got to experience romance in her life but today having such interaction with Imran almost took off her breath।
[Alarm Buzz!]
Damn, this girl woke up at 5:00! Why so early, man?!
She set her bed। Rinsed her teeth and face, and allotted a few prototype poses, showing off her shining teeth and sparkling fair skin। Soon the overaction came to an end, and she stepped out of the lavatory। She took her ancient yoga mat, what? Yoga mat?! She did slacks, warm-ups, and a few enigma yoga shiftings. That's unpredictable!
At approximately 5:30 A.M, she got watchful for school. Heretofore driving downstairs, she unfurled all her books and previewed her assignment. When she was accomplished with it, she crammed them all adequately into her backpack. Her steps were subtle, as her parents were indeed benumbed. The time was to be around 6:00 A.M when she reached the dining hallway, wandering silently into the kitchen, forgetting that her Mom was a morning bird.
Seeing her Mom she immediately planned to run away but she got caught before even looking forward to her proceeding plan.
"Soha, you woke up early today? Oh my, what's special today? I'm not dreaming, right?"
"Mom, don't make fun of me now."
"Sure, Dear~ I'm so happy that you woke up so early ~"
Soha smiled and walked into the kitchen. "I'll make my lunch today, Mom."
"Why? Aren't they providing you with lunch?"
"They are, Mom. But I wanna have home food."
"Is it? Okay, Dear. As you please."
Soha's Mother took her veggies to the dining table and began to chop them finely, handing over the kitchen to Soha. She took few chopped veggies from her Mother and stirred them on medium heat। After a while, she added the warm water into the pan, following with ramen and the packets that come with it। She even added some seasoning mixtures। The ramen was organised with egg, mushrooms, rice cakes, and some meat balls। As the food was done, she sucked the whole soup into a flask and packed the leftover food into a hot box। Keeping these aside, she packed salad into the box, following with some side snacks।
As she doesn't have idea how much a male student can consume, she even went with Cheetos hot dog that her Father bought for her last night due to her full stomach she couldn't consume it eventually। As she was done cooking, her Mother entered into the kitchen and said,
"Is this food really for you, Soha?"
Without answering, she looked at her Mom with puzzled face,
"'cause you can't finish this much food, Soha."
"Oh. Yeah. But even Sanal there, right. We will finish together."
Obviously it's a face-to-face lie but why does she even have to lie, man? Sanal is not going to show up today in the school then how is she going to complete the whole lunch alone? Now… is this lunch really for her?
"I see, Dear. And wait for 15 minutes, I will make breakfast for you."
"Thank you, Mom."
Just as her Mom mentioned, her breakfast was placed in front of her in exact 15 mins। She finished it, immediately and left to school by walk। For the first time, she's going to school this early when she never done this। Is these all preparations done for someone else…?
As soon as she reached school, she threw her bag into the classroom and dashed toward the terrace। At this time, students could be spotted so rarely but seniors students were often seen in groups as they are going to exams soon। It's obviously for their exam preparation। Coming to our Soha, she finally reached the door of the terrace but was a bit nervous to open it। She slightly opened it up a bit and peeped, she discovered Imran standing and leaving himself into the winds। She felt so different and immediately closed the door। She was surely blushing again but this sound of door grabbed Imran's attention।
He normally walked to the door and opened it without making any sound। He wasn't so surprised to spot Soha's presence। He smiled, seeing her blushing for no reason। A cold wind blown up letting him push himself to Soha। He felt a bit nervous but was able to gain his courage and put his palm on her shoulder which in response, she jolted।
"W-What?! - Oh, Imran? H-Hi."
"Hi. What are you doing here alone? Got any issues?"
"Ah! N-No! Nothing, Imran! I was just…"
Before she could say what she was actually doing, she immediately halted herself and reminded that he might misunderstand her behaviour so she just smiled and said nothing। Imran was confused but didn't insist himself to go with any further questions। He held her hand and grabbed inside, locking the door। Though she was surprised, she didn't herself down with embarrassment now। She just followed her current boyfriend।
"Soha, let's spend time together. Who knows what might happen tomorrow…?"
"Eh? - Are you alright, Imran?"
"Ah… Yeah, Soha."
He smiled and covered a matter which he doesn't want her to know about। Though this demeanour was suspected by Soha, she didn't question further। Any reason? Sometimes, it makes me feel disgust when Soha couldn't prepare herself to discover Imran more, maybe this was because of his fabricated stories on the first meet but she does needs to know the importance of balancing a relationship – the main is understanding। If there's no understanding between two human then their relationship couldn't stand as they anticipated। It's not just love relationship, it might be any relationship – understanding should be given first priority। Because it's one of the important pillar in the relationship।
Soha…, are you really into him? If not just quit it, encouraging someone's feeling by pretending to be in love, is the biggest crime in my eyes।
What's the use of explaining the importance of love here when this generation of teenagers had made it a joke?! Loving someone became a most interesting game ever for them। Do you think playing with someone else's feelings is any fun? You might be in fun mood but the other might be in serious relationship। Cheating and betrayal became so common these days। These generation teenagers never went behind a love they chased behind the person for their body not for love! They need body exposure, they don't have a damn care about how uncomfortable the opposite one feels! But it doesn't imply to every girl, there are few girls who accept the body… exposure! I hate this generation!
But I appreciate those 1% teenagers who never made our elders shame doing such disgusting things behind their back। I appreciate you guys। These 1% are the one who taught me to survive even if it's suffocating to live। Live for yourself not for someone else's sake। In the first place, that person isn't sure whether that one is going to stay in your life or not। So, living for yourself and for your family is the best ever decision that never leaves you regrets।
Coming to our present time, Soha was so simply looking at Imran that she forgot to blink।
Crouching down, she utter a few heart melting words,
"Release your pain out before it could drown you in it, Imran. The more you hide, the more you will suffer. At one point, your burden will be so heavy that you couldn't make yourself swim up and you drown to death. Do you want to experience it, huh?"
He was quite speechless and couldn't open his mouth। His face was looking at the floor and was wearing gloomy expression, of course। He slowly walked to her and Crouched down, beside her। He let his head settle on her broad shoulder। She glanced at his fingers and gently patted his head।
"It's okay. Everything is alright, Imran."
"Uhm. Will you call me Immu?"
"Sure, Immu."
Her voice was so pleasant that made his lips curved to form a simple smile। He grabbed his hands around her hand and said,
"I love you, Soha."
"I-I love you too, Immu."
They two blushed and didn't dare to speak for a while। The time passed, they had talks together and hang in there for a moment until their Bell rang। As it rang, they headed back to their classes and agreed to meet again after the second session। The language class was going on, Soha's attention was initially shifted to the birds sound she was continuously hearing from her window। She looked aside and found a mother bird feeding her little three babies। She smiled, grabbing her pencil, she began to sketch the scenario।
She was so lean in her work that she didn't discover her teacher being walked to her। Her teacher lend her eyes to see her art, she was impressed by her art but as it was her language class she doesn't have any right to draw during other class।
Her teacher banged the long hard stick on her table and she jolted vigorously।
"M-Miss Rupa?!"
"Where are you focusing, Soha?! It's a language class, not an art class! Keep your concentration alive, I'm sparing you for this time, next time don't blame me for the punishment."
"Thank you, Miss Rupa."
Miss Rupa smiled at her before leaving। Her art had saved her from punishment but Soha wasn't notified with it so she thought it's the teachers kindness। Even that's a point, Miss Rupa is surely a kindest woman। But still you're a foolish brat, Soha!
"Immu~"
"What's the matter? Madam is in a good mood."
"Hehe! Oh, I brought lunch for you, Immu."
"Really? I would like to taste it then!"
"It's all yours, Immu."
