Adam was sitting beside me, peeping out of the window. Surrounding was noisy as people were settling in their seats but, there was a void silence around us. Neither of us was talking. He was staring out of the window and I was lost in my thoughts.

Everything was going to change. Jacob was my only friend, I have been always close with him and today he seems distant. For me, he was the only person I thought would remain the same. I don't want to lose him, I don't know what he's thinking of me, does he know whom I love? Ahh! There are a lot of unanswered questions in my perplexed mind. I should have called Jeal too, she doesn't know I am leaving. And Loren. I don't know whether I'll be able to see him again or not but there's one thing for sure I am going to miss him.

CHANGE

Ambling the way as it is already destined,

Finding the path which is pristine.

  • Unintentionally chased   26. Reminisce

    We had our breakfast while having a little conversation about random things. Later, Ayra left and Adam was with brother. I was lying on the bed, staring at the fan. Yes, we have a fan in our room, though I wonder who uses it. It's already frigid climate and fan would definitely freeze us. I have to call Jacob.Entering brother's room, I asked."Admund can I use your phone?"He was busy with some files where Adam was playing a game on his laptop.Tilting his head in my direction, he said. "How many times should-" knowing his common sentence I cut him off."Can I use your phone brother?"I smiled at him.He searched his phone through the pile of files and handed it to me. Taking the phone, I went into my room and called Jacob. The conversation went for a while where he asked when I arrived, how am I. He was normal in his usual self. Talking with him had escalated my feeling. Keeping

    We were ready before the 8'O clock, to leave. Brother, Adam and I were on our way with a driver. Yes a driver, he didn't permit me to drive. The driver will be dropping and picking us. We arrived in front of a huge university which was surrounded by snow. Trees lined around the gate, covered by the snow in the same manner. The green and white color environs the university. The principal accepted me gladly and I can start tomorrow. The next stop was a school for Adam. It was building covered on three sides like a reverse U shape, with a huge playground under a blanket of snow. The playground starts at the entrance and ended up reaching the building on three sides. Adam was accepted too.~~~~~~When we got home brother went to his work. Ayra came when Adam and I were playing a game."You guys know what's tomorrow." She stated more like a question.I nodded while my eyes were fixed on the screen. Tomorrow is Admund's b

    We were in the kitchen, Ayra and I. She was beating the egg yolk while I was mixing the sugar with the egg white. I tried calling Jafferys, but my calls haven't been answered yet. I don't know why they weren't lifting the calls. After calling six to seven times, I came to help her. I should be more patient."That's enough." Ayra's voice brought me back to the presence.She took the bowl and mixed the batter. After all the procedure, we kept it in the oven and waited for it to bake. We did the cleaning while it was getting baked. Excusing myself, I went into my room to call again.Maybe I should wait. I thought, as barely half an hour passed when I last called. Ignoring my thought, I called. Waiting for anyone to pick it up. Again it went unanswered until the last bell. I called again, this is last for today. Again the same response from them as well as from me. Ok, one last time. Waiting for the voice instead of the ringing so

    the reaction i got from the class was expected, they stared at me as if i had jumped down from a ufo. they murmured among themselves, as i joined at the end of the year. after a little introduction, the class starts. classes went on one after another. i didn't talk with anyone, neither anybody tried to talk with me. whenever there was free time, either i would write my notes or read a book. i was standing under a tree, waiting for the driver. now i felt how adam will use to wait for me. kicking the snow under my feet, i was lost in a book when a 'beeb-beeb' sound distracted me. closing the book i walked to the car, adam was already in, i sat beside him into the back seat.without paying much attention, i resumed my reading. hearing a sound i looked around, windows were closed. after a minute or two, i heard the sound agai"adam, did you hear anything?" i aske"no." he replied quickli heard it again and this time ve

    I stood there astonished when the man declared his identity. My clouded eyes couldn't leave his sight when those words contracted my ears. Taking a step back from him, I blinked to make the view clear. It was the same man, whom I stamped in the crowd. This cannot be true, all this time- before I could complete my thought other thought interrupted. Is he another kidnapper? Stepping back several steps, I was surveying my driver who was nowhere to be found."Levy listen to me." He said while taking a step towards me.How did he know my name?"Back off." I snarled, tears leaving my eyes."You don't have to fear me." He stepped forward, making me mirror his action oppositely. "Ok, I am not moving." He stood still in this position."Who sent you to kidnap me?" I asked. This was a stupid question, why would any kidnapper would tell that. But my mind wasn't running fine to ask any proper question.

    I was in the class, listening to the lecture with my heavy eyelids, ready to shut at any moment. My mind got attentive when the lecturer mentioned my name."Miss. Troustkey." She said."Yes." I stood at attention.Did she notice my sleepy head?"Go to the principals' office.""But why?" I asked.She handed me a little piece of paper on which my name was written with the signature of the principal. I took the paper and went out of the class. Standing in the corridor, I was confused, whether the office was on the left or the right.I should pay more attention to the directions.I randomly turned right and reached a room, not the principals' office. Walking back, I went to the left and knocked on the principals' office. He told me to come in and then asked to go to the opposite side where someone came to meet me.Ah! I went to the righ

    Sitting in the class with my head resting on the bench, I was thinking of what to do. How should I explain this to my brother? It's really hard for me to believe and impossible for him. I was staring at my hands holding the phone. Should I talk with someone? But with whom? Only if Loren was here, I could discuss it with him. He always had answers to my questions and he somewhat knows about my father, I didn't know what I told him back then. Here I again started thinking about him. Scrolling the contacts on the phone as if his number will magically pop up, I abruptly stopped the process when I saw Jacob's name. Should I call him? He might freak out more than I am and he'll be sleeping at this time. Damn! I just want to smash my head on the wall so that any solution my fall out. This is stupid. I stood up to move to the other class. I should get something that justifies his words.Classes went by one after another. We got

    Time marched by days into months and months into a year. Everything in my life has changed but one thing remains the same. Years ago, I wouldn't have pictured my life the way it is now. Our little family had grown. Brother is engaged with Ayra and father is living with us. Even after a year my mind can never let go of Loren or it's my heart that is still holding Mr. Black. I was looking in the mirror, reading my new look. My long hair was now short reaching my shoulders. I was wearing a maroon, knee-length dress with black boots covering my exposed legs. My contemplation ended with a call, a video call from Jacob."Hey.""Haircut!" Was the first thing he said."Yeah," I said touching the ends of my hair. "Ayra insist.""You look cute in short hair.""You think so? I prefer long though.""When did you do it?""2 days back."Adam shouted while enterin

We both gave him a glance, then our eyes were back on the screen."Finished your so important business talk with brother?" I asked looking at the screen."Yes. My so important business talk is done and I am taking you out today." He said and sat beside Adam."Where?" I asked.I was waiting for the answer when I heard Adam's shout.

    My eyes couldn't believe what they saw that night, neither my mind could contemplate why he was there. Was I hallucinating? No, I wasn't. If it was a hallucination, this could have happened a long and time ago. He was real, but how? Was the question that was killing every brain cells of mine. In between two days, time passed and I was lost in my thoughts. The answer to how he was there? What was he doing? and why at the funeral? Will be answered only if, I know who that woman was. And the question, who she was can be answered by only one person, Ayra. I didn't dare to ask her anything about her friend, I wanted to give her time till she comes out of her somber.I got off the bed, freshened up and went into her room. She was sitting on the bed, hugging the pillow. Even after a couple of days, she wasn't normal. Taking a deep breath, I entered and sat beside her."Ayra?" I said.She looked up at me, ending her nowhere stare.
