章 7: Chapter- 07
Neil:
I was following her after she left the class. She was running like a crazy. I wondered what happened.
I didn't think much,I didn't go for cricket match. I just followed her.
I had no idea where she was heading to. I also had no clue why even I was following her just maybe I felt little uncomfortable seeing her like that. This was only a good explanation I can give you now.
She was heading to a forest, It's behind the school. It should be called a den as no one goes there.Why she was going there. what's on her head!
I paused for a while. I let her reach there. I had to see what was with her. She should not know I was following her.
She reached in the middle of the forest. She sat under an oak tree. As I guessed there was no one, not a single ghost. I think she knew the path very well as she just stepped hurriedly to the tree without thinking where to step next.
I was close to her maybe 2/3 trees away. She couldn't see me.
I got puzzled all of a sudden. She was crying like no one was watching her. Louder then more louder. Her voice was cracking, she didn't stop. She was hurting herself.
I felt she was trembling a bit even though she was sitting.
I didn't think much I went for her..I was stepping close. She felt my existence.
She stood up,tried to see her surroundings. There she saw me.
It was like she was surprised and also lost words how to deal with the situation.
"Why are you here?Did you follow me all the way?," she asked with a strange tone.
"uuh..yes,I saw you...," I couldn't finish also I didn't have any good reason to give.
"I can't stand you,why do you follow me?huh?Am I a clown or a piece to watch? What do you think of yourself? I don't want you to be anywhere,just get lost..", she stopped speaking.
I understood she was not sane that time.
" I am sorry,It was not intentional. I never thought of you that way. Don't misunderstand please," I tried to talk some.
"Did I ask you anything, go away,just never come near me," She continued.
"What happened to you? Why are you crying like this?What happened in the class?", I finally spoke out.
" Do I have to..You you just disturbing! Go away,get lost," she screamed insanely.
"Listen to me,Calm down. It's all fine. Don't be upset. I am with you. Just sit here for a while," I tried to hold her hands.She just bursted into anger.
"Leave me,Why...", She started crying again & also trembling a lot.
I made her sit. I slided her hair a bit. She was messed up. She was sweating.
She looked afraid.
Suddenly she grabbed my hands.
" Why am I going through all of this?Why am I so weak? Can I even live? I don't have anyone on this earth,No one is watching me, I don't have any shelter," She was continuously sobbing.
I was listening to her & didn't speak. I was still holding her hands tightly.
"It's been one year already, I can't get over my anxiety & pain. I feel terrible. I want to be normal but I can't be,"..she continued.
"Heili,It will be alright, you need to be calm down now. I know you went through so much,you lost your parents,this is beyond hard. But you gotta hold yourself. You can't take yourself for granted. Just keep faith,it will be alright. Don't lose hope", I tried to keep her calm.
"I just don't want to disappoint anyone,specially not aunt Keira. She did so much for me, I can't repay & &, " she didn't finished.
"It's okay,she knows you can do it. You're a strong girl. Not weak anymore. We are always with you, Just don't be sad anymore," I spoke smilingly.
She didn't reply, meanwhile I just realised It was almost dark. It's not safe just staying here longer.
I stood up, " Heili let's get back,hold my hand", I approached.
She was quiet, Just got up & did hold my hand as I said to her. I felt she was tired & she got no sense of what to do.
The class time almost ended,both of us missed classes.
I decided to take her home. I took a cab though It wasn't that far.
We both sat. She was like before,quiet
"Heili,did you go to that forest prior today?"
"Hmm,Frequently."
"Do you realize this is not safe?Nobody goes there.."
"I know,that's why I go,I feel safe there only. I see noboby I feel comfortable " She answered clearly.
"Heili,Don't ever go there alone, This is not right. If you wanna go there. take me with you,huh?"
She didn't reply.
We reached at Keira's.
"Heili are you okay,I called you so many times, why didn't you receive? It's so late," Aunt keira asked her.
"She's fine,we talked a lot,didn't notice the time,so sorry it won't happen again," I smiled while replying.
"At least you should have called dummy! Come on two of you," aunt Keira being Aunt Keira.
"Naahhhhh,Mom gonna kill me today for sure. Gotta go. Next time!
Heili take care, we will meet tomorrow!, bye!", so then I took the cab & heading to home.
Met mom,had dinner,talked to her a little. Then went to bed.
It was a hectic day. I was feeling sad for Heili, also I was surprised about my gesture around her. Was it appropriate? It just didn't matter, I just tried to make her little comfortable what a friend does basically. I just hoped she being fine now.
It was really long, *__* Hope you liked.
