*peep peep peep*
And there I heard a loud sound of applying brake.
I opened my eyes and glance over it.
"ALHUMDULILAH! ! .. " I pronounce as I saw asad standing still.
Behind him was a yellow cab.
The tyres of that car were heated up and I can smell burning of rubber around.
I ran to him.
"Are you alright ?? " I said as I shake him
"Ermm ermm .. yeah!!" He managed to answer but still he was in shocked.
The yellow cab's driver comes out and starting apologizing to Asad.
Asad being a kindhearted man forgave him and he asked me to sit in his car by pointing towards the red car in his garage.
We both headed towards the car.
He was about to start engine as my ear heard a sweet voice of a little girl.
"Asad bhai (brother), you forget to take Dom with you!?"
I turned my head and saw Asad's little sister with Dom ( his pet dog).
" I am not gonaa sit with the dog in this car!" I yelled before Asad's approval for the dog.
" Dom is vegetarian. He will not eat you!" He smirked.
"Nope... I wont sit .! Either he is going or I" I muttered and he nodd.
" Sania, take Dom with you as your sister is afraid of Dom!" He smirked by teasing me.
From this Sania turned by saying goodbye and I turned to Asad.
"So where is he??" I asked him by picking the water bottle from the deck.
" I dont know where he is?" He replied and I almost chocked the water as I was drinking it.
"What.. you dont know where is Ryan!!! You called me and said you know where---" I yelled
"Listen!! I asked you to bring his belongings.. I hadnt said that I know where he is!!?? He groaned as he cut me off.
" okayy.. just focus on your mind and remember any place , he would go .. just go back jn your childhood dude!!" I looked at his face with my worried eyes and asked him.
"Emmm emmm..!! Place he would go!"
He answered while thinking.
Just then his phone started ringing but he disconnected and continues to think.
"Think Asad. . When you both fought.. when he is upset--" I forced him to think harder.
"Wait .. I think I know where he is!!" He groaned as he start the engine.
My eyes filled with hope that now I might find him.
Now I might found those answers which are roaming in my mind.
"Ohh my Allah!!..help us..!" I prayed as we headed forward.
"Ameen" he muttered.
After 20 minutes of driving
He turned around the street and parked the car.
" we used to come here.. when we were upset!" He said and I rushes out of the car.
His phone rang again and this time he does the same.
Hanged it up.
"Ryan.. ryan.. !! Where are you Ryan? ?" I shouted as I heades towards the dark area.
It was small street where graffiti covered all the walls around.
A dustbin was there which was filled with rubbish.
The street light was broken and it looks creepy.
I searched every corner of that street and my eyes failed to see that thin figure.
When my paitence ended I yelled at him
"You said .. you know where is he..!! He isnt here..!! Where is he..?? Asad..??
As I said this my eyes met Asad's eyes and I guessed he had noticed that my eyes were watery.
" I thought he will be here?!" He answered.
I put my hands on my temple and sit down on a bench near.
" I dont know why this happenwd with me. Where is he?? Ya ALLAH .. don't take my test!! I m very bad at it.!!" With my watery eyes I glared at tye sky and asked The Kings of all Kings... Allah to help me.
By watching my act, he came and
"We will find him!.. just dont loose hope azka..trust yourself" he said.
I looked up to his face.
"I m really sorry! ! That I yelles at you.. ofcourse how would you know where he went??.." I apologize and he nodd.
"In Shah ALLAH .!! We ll find him" he gave me hope.
But just then his phone started ringing.
I glare up and he cut that and asked me think where he could go.
I was busy in my thoughts again that his ringtone awakened me.
This time he picked it up.
"Yes bro..!!"
"Ahaan.. where! ?"
"At highschool"
"Okay I m coming there!"
I could only understands the half situation so I look at him for explaination.
Before I could say anything he indicated me to sit in the car. While he was still on the phone.
"Okay just eye on him!"by saying this he hanged up.
"Ryan and Cornell is fighting at highschool!" He finally said after he started the engine.
By listening to this stuff , I got a super duper panic attack from head to toe.
"What!! Fight! !..a....aaaa.. But he never fights. .!" I didn't know whether i was explaining to myself or I was responding to Asad.
"Yeah.. but something happened between him and Cornell.. don't you know Cornell.. he is jerk who always had to put his nose in others bussiness!" He groaned as we head towards the highschool.
"Hmm.. but Ryan is afraid of mice.. dont you know, then how come he's in a fight!" I questioned him.
" Only ALLAH knows..!!" He answerd and I nodd and turn my head towards the window and started reciting few dua's (prayers).
While reciting those prayers , Ryan's thin face came to my mind and I just lost it.
My eyes were watery and my nose turns scarlett. Just to hide my this dilemma , I pretend to sneezed and cover my tears and red nose by a tissue paper.
My head kept on telling me , one tear fell from your eye and you will collapse but my eyes were not cooperating with my mind and they kept on crying untill Asad handed me water bottle.
Then I realize that , I failed to hide them.
"Drink water, I know you had allergies! " he grinns as I took it from him and drank it.
"Here are we..!! Our highschool!!.. hurry grab his jacket and follow me " he instructed as we reached the parking slot of our highschool.
After searching few corridors I finally managed to get into that fighting area.
A huge lump of people was there.
They all were gathered making a circle in the mid of the area.
The sky was clear just as sky become after the storm. I dont know why but I felt the intensity in air.
Intensity that something bad had happened. My heart pounded faster and faster on each of my step.
"Ohh my Allah!!" I cried as we head towards that lump.
Asad pulled few of the people apart to make the way towards the centre.
I slowly make my way to that area.
Oh Allah..
Fight
Ryan
Blood
Enough .. I wont think farther now.
I took a step closer to look and again I was speechless.
A round figure with chubby face and tiny nose which was bleeding and his head was also in had a scar , which was indicating that someone had hit it with intense force.
It was Cornell Lordsworth.
He is one year senior to us. He wasnt a bright student but was quite popular in highschool due to his criminal record.
I saw him bleeding and his body was full of scars. It was like time froze and I was lost somewhere in my own thoughts.
"Okayy .. Cornell! Now tell menthe whole scene!" Asad voice awakened me but my eyes were still concerned with Ryan's thought n they were stick to the floor.
"You wana heard about that pathetic **** man!!. You bull*** friend of that *** -" Cornell opened his bad mouth and throw those pathetic words to us.
Asad tried to calm him down but he failed .
"Asad!! Just let him go!" I yelled as Asad pulled Cornell's collar .
I wasnt listening what Asad was telling him but when I saw Asad pulling his collar, it was like a electric shocked ran into my body and I yelled.
"Maybe , we should asked them!" I pointed out the finger to the boys standing against the pole.
He let go Cornell and headed towards them.
While i was still on the same place.
*ringing ringing*
I grab my phone from my pocket.
It was Ryan's mom.
"Asalmao alikom!! Aunt "
"Waliakom asalam ! Dear
Do you find him"
"Nope ! Aunt!
But I m trying to--"
"Dear!! RYAN'S
friend told me that he took his friend's
red truck!! He
added that ryan
might be
going to the Lakeview park.!!
"Lakeview park!!
"Yeah!! Listen dear!!
I had to go in
the meeting!
Do take care
of him ."
"Allah.hafiz"
From this I hanged up.
