Obsession

Chapter-Six

                   Zeeniya's POV

Its 2:00pm and I just came back from college. It was an exhausting week with all those ptomotions and compains for our team at cultural festival.
I step into the launge and put off my bag from my shoulder, throwing it on sofa. I rest my back on couch and sit in a relaxing mode, setting my head free on back of the couch.
"How was ur day zeeni? U seems too tired my child!" Mom asks with a concerned look as she enters the lounge.
"Well, that was too hectic, all that extracurricular stuff u know.." I say a take a deep breath to relax.
"Oh-ok. come on, change ur dress and I will bring u some food. You must be hungry" she said.
"hmmm-yeah" I spoke.
I grab my bag and climb the stairs that go to my room. My mom doesn't like any kind of mess in her house, so she had already made my room get cleaned by maid. I neatly put my books on rack and go to bathroom to change.
After lunch, I picked up my mobile and check my messanger first.
He is Online
I still have not tell him that I was just kidding and I remember him, I giggled as I read his message. Finally I decide not to puzzle him further and text him.

Conversation started

Oh My Gosh, I'm just such an idiot, I mistakenly clicked on a "love emoji" eyu how can I do that. I snap my head and jerk it away in tension. My heart beat accelerated so much Ugh.. Thank God, he didn't took any thing wrong by this stupidity of me.
But wait,..He said..He just said we are "friends"
God! I've never been frnd with a guy. I cann't even if I want, bcz My mom will kill me. She always keep on advising me to stay away from guys..
I think I dont have to talk with him often, Its not going to be good for me. Its so weird.

Its 10:00 Pm when I complete all the  chores and assignments, including preparation for my cultural expo.
I go to the mirror and untie my hair. After applying some lotion on my hands and feet, I climb up my bed and slip into the blanket. Its feb, but its getting too cold outside.
I close my eyes and try to sleep, but Its not coming. I lay straight with my one elbow behind my head to support it and stare the ceiling for a long time.
His words are running through my mind. He said he was sorry. God! he remebers everything, just like me do.
I am so sorry and embaraced bcz he was punished so harsh.
I still remember, he followed me to the room, when I ran away from him crying badly. He was standing behind the door, that I had locked. When I told miss Gull, he was punished physically and mentally too bcz every single teacher scolded him. Every student in the class mocked at him( even those students did not know why he was punished, but they had an idea that he was punished bcz of making me cry) .
Emir was made to stand on his one leg, all the day. When his punishment was over, I was sitting alone on my seat in the class, still crying like a foolish child.
He  dared to come in the room and stood about five feet away from my seat. I could see him in front of me as I rubbed my blurry eyes filled tears. His eyes were blood shot..mixed emotions of agony, anger, sorry and embarassment were clouding his face.
I still remember his words. His tone was pleading.

"Zeeniya , I.,,,I..didn't want to hurt u. Don't think of me like that plz I dont say any bad thing about u to any one..believe me zeeniya.." I cut him in  his sentence,
"Go away" I say, not looking at him.
"Zeeniya" he spoke softly, and I looked
above. His face reddened and all the emotions on his face were drained out and replaced by a pale blank look, as I shouted at him "Go away Emir, I dont want to listen anynthing".
He looked down for a moment and stared at the floor. He was about to speak something, slightly opening his mouth, but then kept silent. I bowed down my head on my arms resting on the table, sobbing and wiping my tears, when I heard his footsteps of walking away from me. He was gone.

I really feel bad for all that bcz some spooky boy in the class told me something, exactly one day before Emir's confession. His name was Ahmar, he had some issues with Emir and he lied to me that Emir has said something dirty about me in front of his friends. I was so shocked that how can a child do that and what does it mean by " dirty". I didn't even understood the thing. And that was the real thing that made me cry. I was just wondering " what emir had been saying to his friends about me? how could i face them now? what if he said something very insulting about me? what if I lost my reputation??" I know these questions are too much for an 8 year old girl but I have always been an over thinker and over protective about my repute... Don't know when I slept thinking about all that childhood events with him..

             Emir Zayn's POV

12.00am; I'm looking at my chat with Zeeniya and smiling to see the sticker with hearts in its eyes, that she sent me by mistake. She is so innocent, like the way she was. I still remember her innocent face. She was "the girl" I could only think about at that time. I couldn't wish to sit next to any other except her.. The way she smiled and twisted a lock of her brown silky hair, wearing her pink skirt with white bottoms, was enough to drive me crazzy .. She looked damn' cute. I only had a wish to stay near her as long as possible. She was the nicest girl I have ever seen in this world. I was so obsessed with her that I wanted to punch nerdy Haroon, who used to sit beside her often. I just had a feeling that she is only my friend and she should only spend time with me. If she is in a fighting mood she should fight with me only!
But after that weird moment between us, she started to run away from me. She avoided me, ignored me, to hide embarrassment.. It took too long to  settle everything.. We became frndz once again... But then, she switched the school and left the city due to some family issues.
Now after 10 years, I have found her on facebook by Ellie's reference..I'm so glad to talk to her. I've not imagined how would she look like now..Ofcourse she will look more pretty as she was in childhood.
I don't know when I felt asleep and the next morning, I woke up with my alarm. No shit, NO thats not alarm! thats a call from ADMIN of my college... "Hello.o" I say sleepy, "Hello, Mr. Shahnawab..I'm from admin block  kinnaird college.. we have to inform u about dismissal of ur son from college ..."
Wha..what I cut the phone and look at the time, its 12:00 in the morning and I have missed all the classes today - again .. its for the 3rd time and I'm struck off from college due to short attendence... Wtf..I have to deal with this now.. I wrote my personal phone number instead of parent's in college admission form, so they thought me of Mr. Shah Nawab (My Dad).
Damned!! this is so F***up.. I have to call my father now..
