Chapter 9 #

Alex went to college, as usual. He met Milie after a long interval. Since her birthday celebration she was absent, as they went out of station to visit their relatives.

Milie came over and asked, " Hi, Alex, how have you been? "

Alex, " Heyy, Millie. I'm good, where were you these days, we all missed you, you know."

Millie slapped Alex's arm teasingly and said, " Oh, stop it. Anyway, I was out to visit my relatives for a couple of days."

Alex said, " Oh that's nice. By the way, everybody was saying, your birthday was totally a blast, we had enjoyed it a lot."

Millie smiled and said, " Well, of course it would. Who do you think planned it huh..hehe..just joking. I'm happy you all loved it. Let's do a party again someday ok."

Alex said, " Yeah sure, why not."

Millie was about to go, but suddenly, stopped thinking about the party, that day. She turned and asked to Alex, " Hey, Alex I wanted to ask you something. What had happened

to you that day during the birthday celebration, why did you make such a fuss. You know, I got so scared because of you. Were you ok ??"

Alex shaked his hand vigorously and said, " No no, it was nothing. Don't take it seriously. I said it was a joke, right."

Millie shook her hand and said, " No, Alex, it was not a simple thing, your eyes became complete red, your voice sounded so weird. You know, Lizzy had noticed your behaviour that day, she called me and told everything that night.

She said there is a serious abnormality in you, it may be very harmful for you. Since that day, we both were so worried about you. Please, Alex if you can, just consult a Doctor immediately, ok."

After hearing what she said, Alex started laughing. He wiped his tears and patted her shoulder and said," You know what, you should take care of yourself, my dear. Alright, I'm off then. "

He ran off, but turning around in the middle, he said, " But, thanks for the concern, Millie. See you." He then left.

While walking towards the library, Alex was thinking, what Millie said earlier, he was surprised by her words.

He started thinking, how is it possible, that his physical appearance changed. Many questions ran in his mind, what he had seen on the wall that day?? And why did Lizy say, that it was a serious abnormality??

He tried to remember, what had happened that night in the party, he pondered, but he had no answer.

He brooded over the matter very deeply again and again, but he couldn't find any answer. So, he concluded with the thought that Mili was definitely wrong, because he was perfectly fine .He was sure, he had no abnormalities, absolutely not.
