The very next day, Jack reached college on his usual time. As he entered the classroom, he saw that new girl with her friend, sitting on the bench and talking. Class started but Rohan didn't come yet. Jack was waiting for him because he knew, he must be knowing her name.
Today she was wearing a red dress, looking very pretty. He was smitten with love as soon as he saw her. He casted a furtive glance towards her.
Rohan entered the class and came directly to him. He looked suspicious.
Jack asked " What happened? Did you befriend with them? "
Rohan told him " No! They are very reserved. I think they are couple. They are in love. "
" What? Who are in love? " Jack asked.
" Elena and Drake " Rohan replied.
" Who are they? Oh! That new girl and her friend? "Jack said.
" Yes " Rohan replied.
Jack was elated in his mind. Finally, he got her name.
As the class over, Elena moved out of the class. Jack went behind her, hoping to get a chance to talk to her.
She turned back and called him. He went to her.
She asked " Do we know each other? Have we met before? "
Jack was shocked " It should be my question but she is asking." he thought.He said "No! This is the first time we met. "
After that he had a short talk with her. She was about to ask his name but Drake appeared suddenly from no where and asked her to go canteen with him.
Jack felt exhilarated while returning home. He was in the seventh heaven. The reason was clear and loud that he had a short talk with her. That night he went to sleep with a smile because he knew he would be dreaming of her rather those scary dream.
" The darkness of the night in the forest began to clear, stars were to bid adieu for today and earth started glowing with orange coloured light."
The birds woke up in their nest, chirping, ready to leave their nest for food. Everything was same like the day before but it was not the same for the little wolf.
He was pounding against the memories, heaving in the background, distress shown on his little face.
The little wolf went to the place where his family was mercilessly killed. He was in pain.
But he was not alone there. Someone was looking at him stealthily, hiding behind a tree. She was an alpha female, very young to understand what happened to him. The little wolf was crying, so she came near him.
For a moment they stared silently into each other's eyes, as if trying to be friendly to one another. They wagged their tail and tongue lolled out.
The little wolf was frolicking and dancing around placing it's front body down to ground, as if bowing in front of her for giving him a company in this emotional suffering.
" Ring, ring, ring... " the sound of the phone tore through his ear and into his nightmarish dream. He looked at the clock. It was almost 1 o'clock."Who the hell is calling me at this time? "he muttered.He picked up the call. It was the same, his old mischievous friend, Rohan.Jack asked " Why are you calling me at this hour?Anything urgent. Can't you wait for the morning? "Rohan replied " No! I can't wait otherwise it will be so late. Don't you heard," whatever you have to do, do it now or it will be too late. "Jack got annoyed and said " Stop playing with me. If you don't have to say anything, I hang up the call. ""No, no! Wait. Actually I tried a lot but I couldn't prepare my presentation and day after tomorrow, i have to present it. So, can you mail me yours? "" Rohan, you could have call me tomorrow also. Why did you butt in now? "he got annoyed.Jack hung up the phone and slept again.In the morning, he woke
Monday morning came, Jack was very happy. Today he would meet Elena but " Oh! Why does Drake always spin around her all time everywhere like satellite. I really don't want to see him especially with her. "he thought. It was a kind of jealous that took place in Jack's heart for Drake. Today Jack got ready in a little different style. He wore his favourite combination, white shirt and black pants, put a matching tie, a brand- new belt, a fresh pair of socks. Of course he was not going for a date with her but he already rode on the bus to impress her and this was his very first step. Rosy entered his room. She looked at him from head to toe surprisingly. " Oh! I am really sorry, I think I entered a wrong room." she jested and turned about to leave the room. " Are you making fun of me? " he said. " No, no. It's true because as far as I know my brother he never groomed himself like this for the college. I think someone's else soul h
Next day, all students reached college on time. After counting number of students, everyone boarded the bus. Jack and Rohan were sitting together on the bus. After few distance, Rohan slept and Jack put headphone on his ears, listening song. Elena and some other girls divided themselves into two groups and started song competition. Some were simply looking out of the window, enjoying the view. Drake went to Elena and whispered something in her ear. She opened her bag and gave him water bottle. Jack saw this and thought " Rohan was right. They are very close, must be in relationship. " He felt jealous. After continuous running for almost nine hours, bus finally reached the destination and stopped in front of a hotel where they were going to stay. Everyone got down from the bus. They got mesmerised by the beauty of the surroundings. It was a panoramic view. " All of you split yourself into a group of three and each group is assigne
They were returning to their home. In the bus, everyone looked sorrowful and dejected. There was a haunted silence in the bus.Everyone reached their respective home.Jack entered his room. His mother and sister were waiting for him. They heard about the incident. So, they were worried for him.Jack's phone rang, he picked up the call. It was his father on the phone. His father said " Jack! Tell your mom, today I will come home little late. "Jack asked " Why dad? What happened? "" I am going to visit my friend's son. He got injured on duty. He is a guard in a hotel. " his father replied.Jack asked " In which hotel, was he working dad? "Jack was shocked when his father told him the name of the hotel. It was the same hotel in which they were staying on the tour. Jack persuaded his father to join him. His father agreed and asked him to reach his office. They would leave together from there for the hospital.
It was a mournful day for the college.Jack went to college for the two-minute silence prayer at 11:00 am.Jack noticed that Elena and Drake were absent today. After prayer, Jack returned home directly. It was summer day. The heat was unbearable and oppressive during the afternoon. Jack dragged his chair near the window of his room and perched on it. He was thinking how anyone could be so callous to the deceased, not attending the prayer for the departed soul.Someone rang up his phone. It was Elena. He got surprised and thought, " Why is she calling me? "He picked up the phone.Jack said, " Hello, Elena. "Elena said, " Sorry for disturbing you. Actually, today i couldn't attend the prayer because Drake met an accident this morning when we were coming to college. So, i was there with him in the hospital. I called you to ask if there is class tomorrow or not? "" Yes. Tomorrow, we are supposed to attend the class. " Jack
Jack woke up on hearing a loud bang on the door. He felt tears in his eyes. He was literally crying while dreaming. He seemed attached with this dream.He got up from his bed and opened the door, Rohan was standing there with a wide smile on his face." Hey! Your eyes are swollen. You were crying now? Oh! You were missing me. Is it so? That's why you were crying? " Rohan saidJack knew his funny nature but he was not in mood to joke around.Jack replied, " I was not crying. I was sleeping and you always show up at wrong time. "Rohan asked, " Why are you scowling at me? "Jack angrily said, " Why did you lie to me yesterday that you wouldn't go college and handed his bag to me to return but you know very well that i don't like him. "" Actually after giving his bag to you, i remembered that i have to give presentation. That's why i went to college but you know so much issue was going in the college related to the murder. " Rohan told
Around five o'clock in the evening, Jack was drinking coffee. His mother came to him. She said, " Today we are invited in a birthday party of your father's friend's son. So, get ready. We will leave after an hour for the party." Jack said, " Mom, i am not in mood of attending any party. I want to stay at home." Jack's mother said, " We will return by afternoon tomorrow. Then how will you stay alone at home. " Jack said, " Mom, it's not a problem. I can stay alone. It's only a matter of one night only." Jack's mother said, " Okay. No problem, if you can stay alone. I will prepare your dinner and put it in refrigerator. But listen very carefully, don't open the gate if anyone comes in the night.under this condition only, we will allow you stay at home." Around seven o'clock, they left for the party. Jack closed the gate and came in his room. He opened his laptop and started surfing some sites. He was all alone in the home.
Jack was feeling overwhelmed today because finally after ten days, college was opened and he was going to meet Elena. He was on his way and it started raining suddenly. It was still half-way to reach the college but he was completely wet from head to toe. He was passing by a tall building. He heard someone calling his name. He looked from where the voice was heard. It was Drake, calling him from the balcony of his house. Drake said, " Jack, come inside. It's really raining hard. It seems it will take time to stop. Once it will stop, we will leave together for the college." Jack didn't want to go in his home. He hated him so much but there was no other choice left for him. He couldn't go college in his wet clothes and he was not willing to return home. He waited for a moment,being confused what to do? We went to his house. Drake came down and opened the door for him. Jack went inside. His house was so beautifully decorated with blood red roses only. Drake told him to
