Chapter 5 (Alone)

© Riyank Arora

After a mysterious day, I tried to forget the mysterious moments and recalled the happy and the beautiful times that I spent with my family and Lydia.

Was I falling in love with her? Ah! What am I thinking? Certainly not, or maybe yes. I don’t know the answer to the question yet.

I went to my school today and saw that Lydia was absent. Was she OK? Or she just got tired of the past eve. I began to think that when the school will get over I will go to meet Lydia. But suddenly I remembered that I don’t even know her house address. Suddenly, My Teacher shouted on me “JUSTIN!”

Sir – JUSTIN! WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING OUT OF THE WINDOW YOU MORON!

Justin – (made an angry face on hearing moron) I am Sorry sir.

Sir- LEAVE THE CLASSROOM NOW!

Justin leaves…………..

I went out of the classroom angrily growling and thinking about Lydia. Suddenly, while I was standing out of my classroom, I saw principal ma’am. I began to shiver nervously.

She started coming towards me and asked me that why was I standing outside the classroom. I gave the silly reason that my teacher made me out that I was just looking out at the window. Principal said “How silly”! Let me talk to him

Principal entered the classroom…………

Principal - Sir, Why is the boy standing outside? Such a silly excuse and you gave him punishment?

Sir – Uh! Um! Sorry Ma’am. Justin, come inside!

Justin comes………………….

After the school got over, I went to my home and again tuitions! My dad had gone for a trip and my mother was at home staring at me while I was studying. I studied for an hour and left for my tuitions.

Then, was the time for my tuition. I went to my tuition and studied there again forgetting about Lydia. Suddenly, While I was getting home, One car was following me and was about to hit me. I was just safe!

The car turned and accelerated towards me. I saw that the car was coming towards me and my legs freeze. I was not able to displace from my place. The car came closer, closer and……………

Chapter 4 (A mysterious day)

As the person was coming towards me I was getting back. Suddenly my head smashed the wall and my eyes blinked. He disappeared! How can this be possible? I felt a bit mysterious. Then, I got up from my bed and switched on the lights to check whether if somebody was hiding from me. I looked at the time 23:30. I had already talked to my friends for about 2 hours and now they also felt sleepy as do I. So, I went back to my bed by switching off the lights as I could find nobody in my room.

 I just slept and woke up at 6: 00 am. No one else other than me had woke up this much early in my home. We had planned to visit our granny’s house today. I woke my parents up at 8: 00 am and we did our packing and left for our granny’s house at 10: 00. We reached there at 11: 00.

As soon as I reached there I saw my granny and on the other hand I saw LYDIA! I was amazed to see that what she was doing there? My mind came across several questions. Had she been following me all over my journey? Did she just knew that I was visiting to my granny or something else?

I thought that instead of making several questions up in my mind I could go and ask her. I went to her and asked her.

Me - What are you doing here?

Lydia - I just came to visit to my granny’s house.

Me – Oh! That’s a coincidence. I also have come to visit my granny.

Lydia – Wow! That’s amazing. This eve would be wow!

I introduced Lydia among my parents. Suddenly, I felt someone patting at my back. When I looked back I saw no-one. I asked Lydia whether she saw anybody behind me. But, she looked confused.

 At the eve we ate steak, baron and chicken. We enjoyed a lot. Before going to home I just waved my hand towards her and shouted “BYE”. She seemed happy too. We left at 19: 00 and reached home at 20: 00. We didn’t eat our dinner as we had already eaten a lot. So, we directly went to bed. I slept because it was a tiring day for me and my family. But while sleeping I thought about the 2 mysteries that happened to me today. Were they just a dream or something behind this.

Chapter 3 (What a coincidence)

When I got home I saw a person standing at my door, That was 'Lydia'! I was amazed to see that how come she got to my home earlier than me! I went to her and asked her that what she was doing at my house? She said that she wanted to play for sometime. I told her that I can't play because I had tuitions and also had to finish homeworks! She went home sadly. I asked my mom that if I could play with my friends for sometime. She said that better to study than play. I went my room angrily and I was so angry that my parents didn't even let me play, After sometime.     After some time I saw that my mom had slept, so I went out of my house creeping. I went to playground to find Lydia, but it was empty. So, I asked neighbours that if they knew where did Lydia lived? They said that they didn't ever heard the name of such girl. So, I went to postman and asked him that if he knew any of the house where someone named Lydia lived? He said " I am afraid Justin, but no-one named Lydia lives here". So, I thought that the next time when I will meet her, I will ask about here house address. I saw the time "17:58" and fled towards my home.

I silently opened the door and walked to my room slowly. I sat on internet for sometime and chatted for sometime. Then I looked at time and said "FUCK! My tuition time had already passed. I got worried thinking that what would happen if my mother would get to know that I had not gone to my tuition 

I went down the stairs and saw that mom was still asleep. I woke her up and she asked that what the time was. So, I said that it was "19:00". She rose up and ran towards the kitchen and prepared dinner in a hurry. When my dad came home he saw that the food was not yet been prepared. So, He asked why was dinner not prepared yet? Mom said that it was my fault that i woke her up late.

I looked at my mom with my eyes wide. Dad said that he wanted dinner ready within 10 minutes. So, Mum ran towards the kitchen. As per dad's order, Dinner was prepared within 10 minutes. We ate dinner at 20:20 pm and slept at 21:00 pm by watching T.V. for sometime. It was the first day of my life that I was sleeping so early.

So, I just passed my time chatting with my friends and didn't get to know when i slept. Then suddenly I saw that one man carrying a knife in his hand was marching towards me and was willing to kill me. As soon as he was marching towards me I was getting back and while I was getting back I smashed to the wall. 

That meant there was no place for me to hide or to run. He was coming towards me and I thought that death was coming towards me. He rose his hand up in the air ...........................

Chapter 2 (Meeting someone)

The day after Christmas went the same like other days. I woke up early, went for the school and then tuitions. My whole week spent like that, so I decided to run from my house and take a break. I decided that I will run from my house when I will be going for my school. I packed up my things and in my the morning when I was leaving, my mum saw holding me 3 bags with me, She looked a bit confused.

She told me to show all the three bags, I got nervous. She started coming towards me. I ran up to my room, locked up myself and unpacked my things quickly and hid those bags. I fled from my house. So I think that running from my house is like running from a jail, which was impossible.

I went for the school. On my way to school, I saw the girl whom I saw on Christmas. She smiled and asked me whether I knew address to Whylethat school. I told her that I was going there, so she asked whether she could accompany. I said “Okay”. We both went for the school and on my way, I asked her name and she said that her name was “Lydia” and one interesting thing was that we were studying in the same school and the same class.

Then, we both reached to our class. After my school got over, I got home and one of the good news for me was that my tuition teacher was on a holiday as he had gone somewhere out. So, I ate my lunch and went out for a walk. After walking for a while, I felt a bit nudnik, so I went towards the play-ground, but unfortunately, it was empty! I knew this would happen as we were having a Mathematics test tomorrow. I don’t know why each of my classmates thinks Mathematics as a devil’s subject!

As there was no-one at the play-ground, I went home sadly. I went up to my study-table and opened up my mathematics book and practices for an hour. The next day, I went for the school and saw Lydia was looking a bit sad. So I asked her that why she was sad? So, she said that she had forgotten her pen and her home and wanted a pen. I gave her a pen of mine. Then, came our test time, my test was regarding “Surface area of 3-D figures”. Damn! It was so easy. I attempted all my questions and gave to the master proudly.

The next day, we got our answer sheet and I saw my marks and felt proud “100 on 100”. I went home and announced my marks loudly! Everyone at my home- My mum, my dad and my sister felt proud and decided to go out for dinner and gave me a break from studies for one day. I was so happy. I played till 20:00 pm and then we went out for dinner and we ate chicken and prawns.

The next day when I was going to school, I saw a girl crying. So, I helped her and sent her to police station and then I just looked at time and screamed! Fuck! I had got late for the school again! I ran towards my school as fast as I could. My teacher forgave me as I got late for school after a couple of days. I sat with Lydia as there was none place left for me to sit.

When I was on my way to home I was thinking that Lydia was my best friend. God! When I got home I saw an amazing thing happened! 

Chapter 1 (Christmas

“Wake up!” Elizabeth shouted as she withdrew the curtains. I just woke up and when I saw the time, I screamed. I was shocked! Oh my god! I had got late for the school. I gobbled up my food and ran straight towards my school. I tried to enter my class silently without being caught in the sight of my teacher. But, it didn’t work. My teacher spotted me and said that as my punishment I had to study when school got over. Still, it was better than staying at home and studying all time. As my teacher said, when the school got over, I studied for an hour or more and then my teacher said that I could go! That was the worst thing my teacher ever said to me. You know, When I got home it was all like terror! I had to go for tennis practice, then tuitions and then do homework’s which were given by my teachers! As usual, when I got home my parents told me to finish my food and leave for my tuition classes as I did. My whole week went up like that. But, on Sunday it was totally different. I woke up late in the morning as my parents had gone for a tour. So, No studies! No tuitions! And No homework’s! Just fun!!! That was the best day of my life. I just played and watched T.V. until my parents got back. In the evening when my parents were home, it was a complete mess but they didn’t even said a word as they were tired and as I was. So we directly got to the bed.

The next day was Christmas and it was a holiday for me again, but it was not as much enjoying as yesterday. My dad ‘Billiards’ woke me up early in the morning and said that he wanted to discuss something about my future! That was the worst thing I heard on a bright sunny morning ever. He said that he and my mother want me to become a doctor when I grew up. Well, when I talk about my future, I hadn’t decided anything about it yet. I just knew that when I would grow up I will become a good and a very kind man. So, I said to my father that I had not decided about my future yet as I was just 15. But he said that I was old enough and have to plan things for my future. He went. Then, I just went down the stairs and ate my breakfast and asked my mother whether I could go out and play. I expected that she would reply me a “No” but, it turned out to be a “Yes”. I was so happy that time, as my parents had never allowed me to go out and play. I felt like a free bird and wanted to fly. When I got out from house I decided to go to my friend’s house “Harry”. While I was passing I saw a girl on the other side of the road and I passed a smile, but she ignored me which I hated. Then, when I reached to Harry’s house her mother said to me that Harry was already out from house. I thought that maybe he was in the ground. I went towards the ground and found Harry, Samuels, Larry and Sharline there. Then, we played for an hour and then we discussed about my Christmas presents which we had got last night. Harry said that Santa Claus had given him a remote controlled helicopter, Samuels said that he had got a year planner; Larry said that she had got a purse and Sharline said that she had got an I-Phone. They, they asked me what I’ve got But, I kept silent because I knew that I was the only one child who had got a course book on Christmas! While I was on my way to home I saw the girl again and this time she smiled and I ignored. When I reached my house I saw that the door was locked and it has a message lying outside. On the message it was written that

“Dear Justin”

This is to inform you that I and Elizabeth are going out for some and we will be back by 3:00 pm. Till then you could play or stay at your friends house. I will be back soon. Don’t be late.

Yours mother

Gillian

I just read the letter and tore it. I sat beside the door and saw the time was “12:00 pm”. Damn! I have to wait for 3 more hours. How will I pass my time? So, I just went out for a walk again and after walking for a while I saw the time was “1:30 pm” I reached home by “2:00pm” and then I saw that the door was opened. My heartbeat fastened. I thought to call 911 but I didn’t even have a Mobile Phone. I just hid myself behind the bushes and tried to see who was inside, then suddenly dad came outside and then I just jumped over him without seeing his face and when we went inside he scolded me. After a couple of minutes my mum got home and when my father told my mother that I thought of him being a burglar. She laughed. That was the end of my Christmas.
