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 has transferred into your body or may be you lost your memories who doesn't know how he used to be. " She said and bursted into laugh.
" Yeah. You're right because i'm born handsome. There is no need to grooming myself. " He raised his collar and said proudly.
She said "of course you are handsome but today you are on another level. I think you are planning to get someone's attention. Is it so? " and looked at him hoping for a reply.
Jack nodded and blushed.
Rosy said, " Who's is that unlucky girl? and bursted out laughing.
Jack stared at her angrily.
" Just kidding. You're really looking great today. Good luck. " she said and smiled.
" Anyways mom is calling you for breakfast for a long time but you were not coming. So, I came to have a look. "Rosy said and left the room.
Jack looked himself in the mirror one more time to make sure how he was looking and smiled.
He came out of his room, had breakfast and left for the college.
Jack reached college. He didn't enter the class rather waited outside for Elena to come. He wanted to impress her.
He saw her coming from front, putting headphone in her ears, talking to someone. A car coming from her back , blowing horn loudly but she was unaware and talking on the phone. Jack saw that and ran fast towards her. He reached there and pushed her on the opposite side. She was nearly to be crushed by the car.
She got frightened and gasping a lot out of fear. He came to her and asked " Are you alright? "
Elena replied " Yeah! I am fine. Thank you for saving me. "
She got minor injured. So, Jack asked her to go hospital closed to the college.
Both of them went to the hospital. After medication, Elena thanked him again. He was happy that Drake was not there otherwise, he wouldn't be able to talk to her.
She said " Can i ask you one favour? "
Jack said " Yes. Why not? Tell me. "
" Actually, I missed so many lectures. So, i want you to help me in covering all those topics. " Elena said sweetly.
Jack was prepared to impress her but it was him only, who was getting impressed by her more and more and felling in love so hard.
He wanted to ask about Drake, her relationship with him. But he thought it would be awkward to ask now.
They exchanged their contact number and left the hospital together for the class.
Rohan was shocked when they entered the classroom together. He came to Jack, gave an awful look to him.
Jack laughed at him and said " Don't presume anything. She met an accident and took her to hospital. So we entered the classroom together. "
A professor entered the classroom. He said " There is an announcement for you. Our management has planned a tour for you tomorrow. So those who are interested. Kindly, register your name in the office after the class. "
Everyone got excited. Jack was also very happy and excited for the tour.
Rohan and Jack went office to register their name and returned home immediately as they had to prepare for the tour.
Jack reached home. After taking some rest, he started packing for the tour. He took a walking shoes, a pant that zip off into shorts, a small first aid kit, small flashlight, a reusable water bottle and some snacks.
He put an alarm and slept little earlier as he had to wake up early in the morning.
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
It was Sunday evening. Jack finished his snacks and he was about to go out for walk. Rosy came out from her room. She asked, " Jack, where are you going? It has been a long time since i go to the park. My friends do not go there. Can I join you today? Please, give me company." Jack said, " Okay. You get ready and come." Rosy and Jack went to the park. They were talking while walking. Jack bumped into Elena and Drake. Jack asked, " How did you guys here in this park? " Elena replied, " We come here for walk now and then. Anyways, who is she? " pointing finger towards Rosy, Elena asked. " She is Rosy, my sister. Rosy, meet my friends Elena and Drake." Jack introduced them. Rosy said, " Hello." Rosy and Drake looked at each other and gave a waggish smile to one another. Drake looked into Elena eyes and hinted something to her. Elena said, " Jack, i want to have some private conversation with you. Rosy, please don't
Jack had already decided to propose Elena today. Since she had accepted that Drake was just her friend and nothing else. So, he thought to confess his love otherwise someone else would it and he would lose her forever.He got ready for the college. His heart was beating fast just at the thought of proposing her. He came to have the breakfast." Jack, what's the matter? You're looking different today. Is there anything especial today?" his mom said." No mom, it's nothing." Jack said and looked at Rosy. She was smiling, hiding her face. Jack understood that Rosy must had told something to mom. He stared at her angrily. He finished his breakfast and moved out of his house for the college.He had already arranged bouquet of red roses for her and kept it in the canteen." I wish Drake may get absent today. " he thought and entered the classroom." Hi! Jack. " Elena waved her hand and came to him." Hello! How are you? " Jack said, looking
