Chapter 3 :: The 5th addition?
953 Words
There were a big tv hung from iron bar ceiling.....cricket match was going on and everyone was watching it very attentively and so are the 3 boys!
Train was apparently half an hour late so, there was nothing to do, Blaze joined them as well munching peanuts!
and they didn't notice a 5ft hoodie figure beside them until she shouted at the top of her lungs....
"ouuuuuttt!.....mein janti thi!"
[ Ouuuuuutt!.....Yes! I knew it! ]
and everyone else groaned as their favourite team lost and left from there uninterested but four head snapped to their right,.....
1 in surprised and other 1 in shocked,....
and 2 of them significantly paled after all they knew the voice very well.
Insiyaa
Shawkat choked on the water he was drinking that time and started coughing violently......Rahat and Sankalp was too shocked to utter a work, their jaw dropped on the floor!
And, Blaze !?
well all he was seeing a girl probably 18!? In a hoodie and in thick framed eyeglass barely reaching 5ft height.
But who is she and why they are acting like they saw a ghost.
A cute ghost! though
Hold on a minute....where did that thought came from ? He thought and shook it off.
All of them were looking at at her like she was some strange animal from zoo,.....perhaps she shouldn't have shouted in a unladylike manner but that doesn't mean they would look at her THATTTT.
right ?
She just got little carried away, that's it!
"Hey! Big B's" She greeted and waved at them cheerfully
or at least tried!
'Holy s**t' Shawkat cursed and rapidly blinked rubbing his eyes, still trying to believe she is actually here in his old hoodie and jeans......that mysteriously went missing last year.
'Kehde ki yeh sach nahi hai....ek bura sapna hai! Main ankhe band karungi aur tu gayeb ho jayegi'
[ Tell me you are not real!.....
Please tell me I'm having a nightmare and as i close my eyes you'll disappear! ] Rahat squeaked
'Damn! tum kaha se aagaye... Kaise !? Aur wo bhi itni subha subha'
[ Damn!...where did you came from! I mean how ? At this time of the morning! ] Sankalp asked wide eyed and amused
Blaze was watching them converging very curiously.
"Mein tumhara bura sapna hu, Rahat bhai ?"
[ I'm a nightmare to you, Rahat bhai ? ] She asked so innocently Rahat almost melted right there.
almost!
'how did you come here!' Shawkat asked putting his hand on his hip narrowing his eyes
"bus se! Aur kaise ? panch baje bus pe chadhi,... ek ghante phele pohnchi hu, bas tum logo ka hi wait kar rahi thi, maine socha mein late hogayi but thank god time pe hi pohnch gayi aur train late thi"
[ Why!...by bus of course!
I got into in at 5. Just reached an hour ago, i was actually waiting for all of you at the bench, i thought i was late and train left but thank god train was late and i am just in time ]
She answered like parrot answering by hearted answers to some strangers' stupid questions in a village fair
'rukh rukh!...tu local bus pe yahan aayi hai! humare driver kaha tha... Aur baba mann gaye! tujhe akela chor diya humare sath ? Ek minute, baba ko to pata bhi nahi hai ki hum aarahe hai to tu yahan kyun aya Insu'
[ hold on hold on!...you got into a local bus to come here! why, where is our driver and Baba agreed!? to left you alone with us ? Wait a minute, baba doesn't know we are coming,.....so why are you here Insu ]
Rahat asked again frowning at her
"I'm going to this trip with all of you, why else!" Insiyaa said with a large grin looking at all of them
'WHAT'
'WHAAT'
'WHAAATT'
3 of them exclaimed in unison looking at her like she had grown two heads
'agh! f**k my life!' Shawkat screamed in frustration and glared at her, everyone there looking at them with and odd expression but Insiyaa didn't even blink.....
".....that's a very bad word from what i know, so sshh, what you said was very rude, you know ?......everyone is watching, stop making a scene here.....It's not gentlemanly behaviour at all, i wonder what are they teaching you in that famous school of yours"
She said through her teeth in a patronizing manner as if conspiring something without getting affected by 4 pair for very judgemental eyes well actually 3,....and
1 amused but momentarily forgotten!
'university....not school' Sankalp corrected her looking very offended
'and that's beside the point' Shawkat muttered glaring at Sankalp
"and before you ask... no one knows about this!......Baba doesn't know at all" She ignored him and whispered again. Shawkat and Rahat looked at each other and then at her with horrified expression, looked like they are about to faint and Sankalp just facepalmed.
''no! No no no! no......it is nothing but a a bloody joke, you are absolutely not real and you didn't do anything, i'm hallucinating all these.....everything is my hallucination, that's it!'' Shawkat said and started walking toward the train very fast.
Insiyaa was not amused at all by his mad ravings......she stayed rooted and gave him a deadpanned look and said,...
"Shawky come back, I'm very much real.....how do i look in this hoodie and jeans by the way ? it's yours, right! I nicked it while you’re sleeping in your room when you came here last year on Eid'' and then gave him a cheeky grin
''baba will have a heart attack'' Shawkat stopped to look at her not believing what he was seeing and whispered to himself.
