Chapter #5: More than Just Friends
Hospital was indeed a hard time for Farhan but he was discharged. He felt like he was released from jail where he was mentally tortured every day.
People dies but their memories remains.
At first few days he spend most of his time in his room. Noman insists him to get some fresh air and swing his mood but he never agreed. His sleeps was gone. He was always surrounded by thought. At night he would oftenly hears her mother crying.
..................
One Sunday morning while he was downstairs having breakfast alone his phone ringed. He picked up the phone and heard the sweet voice of Kristin.
"How is your health" she asked.
"I am doing fine" he answered.
"Would not see you around nor in college" she questioned.
"Yes actually I am having some rest from college. How are the study going" he questioned.
" Fine actually good. I was asking if you are.... I mean you are free today" she said moving her head not able to use the correct words.
" I am though. Is there any problem?" he said.
"No I am actually hosting a party tonight my house. Molly isn't home so I guess if you ride with me to get some stuff for tonight party" she said after taking a long breath.
" Isn't it too early" he inquired.
" I know. Actually I was bored so I guess we will buy stuff for the party and can actually have a good conversation. If you are busy than it's ok" she said.
"No No its actually fine. I also wanna change my mood" he said quickly.
" Then I will be to your house in 10min" she said with happiness.
" Oky I will be waiting"
...............
Farhan went to his mother's room. She was sitting on a chair and was holding an album. She would see a photo stares at it for a moment and then turn it. Farhan sat near her.
" Mom are you okay" he said to her.
"No I don't think. My world had shattered apart. It's really harddd" She said in a breaking voice while tears poured from her eyes. " I am sorry son I am really sorry but I can't"
"No mom it's all right. Don't worry about me I am totally fine" he said while crying.
"Were you going somewhere" questioned her mother.
"No it's all right I will stay" said Farhan trying to accompany her.
"Don't worry about me son I am fine" she said.
"Are you sure mother" he said anxiously.
"I am totally fine. Have some fresh air donot worry about me" she said.
Farhan stood up went to the bathroom and splashed water on his face. He felt a bit comfortable.
His phone rang again. He took out his phone from his pocket and it was that same unknown number. He had not ye saved Kristin's number. He picked up the call.
"Hey waiting out side" she said.
"Okay I will be there" said Farhan while looking in the mirror.
...............
Farhan opened his house door. He was wearing a black transparent shirt unbuttoned and his skinny chest was seen. His sleeves were rolled up and his curly black hairs which were lying on his ears and on his cervical spine. Kristin stared at him as his face was shining as sun Ray's were striking his face skin. He moved quickly towards her white Ford. He leaned inside the window of the car.
"Hey" Farhan said to her with a smile.
" Hii Come on in let's go" she said with a smirk.
Farhan went all around and entered the car. The first thing he noticed was her white beautiful hand and pink nails on the steering wheel while other on the gear.
"Where are we going" Farhan questioned while taking a breath.
"No idea. I want you to decide any peaceful place you know about" she said leaving the choice on him.
"Hmmm.. I know a place. Actually it's a bit far from here but quite a beautiful and peaceful place with only nature" Farhan said to her as he was just waiting for her reply. He wished that she says yes.
"We have a lot of time no worries" she said.
Farhan guided her until they were out of the town. They were now driving the car in a straight road with fields on both sides. Sheeps were grazing in the fields and they could also see sheep dogs busy doing their job. There were also small wooden houses at the sides of the roads. It was a beautiful scenario.
"Its quite a beautiful place. I had never been here" she said.
" Its a good place for a holiday when you are fed up of urban life" Farhan said.
" Do you trust me" she questioned.
" why I don't understand" he said.
"Do you trust me or not" she questioned again.
"Yes I do" Farhan answered.
Kristin gave him a smile while looking towards him. She pressed the accelerating pedal hard with her beautiful feet. The engine throttled and the sound gets louder and louder.
"Woaaaahhhhhh Kri.... Kristin Noo Noo" cried Farhan as he closed his eyes and puts his hands on the dashboard of the car. Kristin keep on pushing the speed of the car. Farhan continued screaming with a joy and tightening the grip even harder.
" I am feeling alive" he screamed.
.................
Kristin knew it was enough so she slowed the car. They looked at each other and then laughed loudly. They drove for many miles. They were out of the town and it was a barren path on which they were driving until they stopped near a small wooden house. It had a small garden in front of it. Both of them stepped out of the car and as Kristin looked around she saw trees and greenery as far as she could see. She could hear birds chirping, squirrels climbing the trees and rabbits in the tall grasses. Colorful Butterflies were flying around them.
"Close you eyes Kristin and take a deep breath" Farhan told her politely.
Kristin acted upon his advice without thinking for a second. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she felt inner piece. She was so absorbed in the nature that she forgot all her worries.
"Will you hold my hand" she asked Farhan while her eyes were closed.
Farhan holds her hand and guided her inside the house. The house was small but cozy. Hall consists of two red sofas placed in order while a table in front of them. The hall was carpeted. Every window had hollow narrow dozens of metal tubes tied by a thread from the top and when the wind strikes them they collide with each other and produce sweet and relaxing sounds. The whole house was whistling from those conical tubes sound. House had two rooms one consists of a double bed while other had single beds. They sat on the sofa while Farhan still holding her hand.
She opened her eyes and looked towards him.
"I had never felt like that. I felt inner peace" thanks for such a lovely day.
"My father and I used to come here long ago. We used to hunt with my father's rifle. At night we would sit near the fire and speaks to each other about many things. It was such a great time" Farhan said to her while looking at her with describing how helpless he was now.
"Everything will be alright don't worry. Time heals everything just have faith in yourself" she said to Farhan in a hopeful voice.
"I should make you some tea" he said to her.
"Really I mean you are gonna make me a cup of tea" she said surprisingly.
"Yes not only you but also for myself. I am good at making tea" he said confidently.
"Well good luck then" she said with a smile.
Kristin could now hear the water running from the tap and Farhan washing the kettle.
"Be careful Master Chef" she said with a laugh. "Ever had a girlfriend" she said as she anxiously waited for his reply.
" I never had luck. No one ever noticed me you are the first in the list" he said.
Kristin could only hear him as he was in the kitchen busy making tea. Kristin was sitting cross legged, her elbows on her thighs bend a bit forward while her one hazel eye covered her blonde hairs.
She inquired" How is your mother is she doing well".
"I guess not. She pretend very hard not to show her pain but after all I am her son. I know she is pretty broken" Farhan answered.
"It must be a hard time for you all" she said.
" Yes but I guess days aren't lovely" he said.
Farhan appeared from the kitchen holding a tray with two mugs placed on it. He placed the tray on the table bowed to her in such a way to honor her presence. She smiled and took a cup. She sipped the tea.
"How is the tea made Senorita" he asked in a polite way.
"It's good very good"
She smiled at him and asked him" How much does it cost waiter!!?
"The amount had already been paid" he answered.
" I don't understand. Is there any discount or any special scheme for me" she asked with a laughter.
"No we also charges girls but you beauty and lovely smile had already paid us Mam" he answered while laughing as they both sit on the sofa and started having tea.
Kristin had never felt like that before. She felt she was respected more than anyone in here.
"What are your ideas about love" she inquired while she stared him.
..............
"I believe love cannot be defined in words. It's the most beautiful feeling in the world. It is not in our control who to love and not. It just happens with the person we like the most. Love is like a fire burning inside us who never needs any fuel for more burning. It fuel is emotions,caring,understanding of souls. It is actually union of two souls living in one body" Farhan continued.
Kristin was so lost in his words and let him shrink in his blessed hazel eyes that she couldn't prevent herself from kissing him. She moved leaned further more placed her beautiful white hands over his hands and the next moment her lips falls into his lips. They closed their eyes and feeled the moment of pleasure. She rubbed her hands over his cheeks while Farhan holds her face with both her hands. It was the time when Farhan was considering himself one of the luckiest person to touch her and to feel her soul.
Her lips as red as rose were in contact with his lips and a layer of pleasure journeyed through their body it was like luxuriation of their soul. Kristin leaned backward while Farhan stared her. She took a deep breath and in a moment the again started to kiss each other. Kristin phone started to ring which had a name tag Molly on it but Kristin even bothered to looked at it as she was having one of the best moment of her life. It was the most peaceful and loving moment of their life.
