20-THUNDERING OUTBURST

Aariz

I was restless with Sani’s absence. Whole day went by and when on the second day as well she did not come, I called Zidaan pretending to be concerned because she was missing classes. I did not feel like telling him she had been wierd on the way back from the trip. I felt guilty though I did not even know if I was the reason for her behaviour.

Zidaan told me, she had fever.

On the third day, finally Sani arrived in college. To my surprise she behaved in a very unusual way. She avoided making eye contact with me in class. She even changed her seat. In corridors if she saw me, she would turn around and go the other way. She was avoiding me but I couldn’t understand why?

Her behaviour hurt me, because I did not know what I had done this time!

A few days passed like that and I got tired of thinking the reasons I should be blaming myself for in regards to her indifference.

I wanted to shake her. Do anything to force her to talk to me. To make her see me, recognize my presence, to give me a chance...us a chance.

My day passed seeing her in classes, ignoring me, breaking my heart every moment with her distance and silence. I couldn’t take it anymore. I went outside and stood on the open grounds as it thundered and rained heavily. Anything to help me breathe and forget about her.

During the last lecture, when I entered the classroom, shaking my wet hair, I saw Sani was sitting in her new seat, away from me in the middle row. I waited before starting the lecture, but she did not make eye contact with me. Her indifference and my continued longing towards her were getting on my last nerve. Why couldn’t I ever be ignorant towards her? Why couldn’t I ever forget her?

As the lecture continued, I saw Rose and Sani were discussing something in low voices and Rose was giggling...All this, while I had been teaching. Sani did not even shrug her off.

It irked me thinking that Sani was enjoying her life, going on normally with it, while being so cold towards me. As if, I did not exist. I felt like she had time for anyone and everyone except me. Looking at her made me lose my temper due to all the pain I had been feeling.

Slapping the book on the desk, I came around the podium, “I'm teaching here, and you people are busy amongst yourself! Do you guys think I will gain something by taking this class? Sorry to let you know but I will be paid even if I don't.” I yelled at the class while looking only and only at Sani.

Because I was, mad at her alone. And due to her sitting in the middle of the classroom no one realized my gaze was firing on her.

I grunted sternly,

“What do you people think of yourselves?! You all think you are doing me a favour by attending this lecture?! If you want to talk and disturb, then get out.
