68. LUNCH AND LAST PAPER

There are 365 days in a year , 30 days in a month and seven days in the week . Now what ? What else can I think about ? Yeah our country has the longitude of 83 degree East and our first President was Ameel Nahin. What else ? Yeah now let us think about classical mechanics . No , I think I should think about the model car which I never completed .

" It seems like we are not going to get out of this . ", Sam .

Yeah we have been stuck in the traffic for 2 hours now . Someone said that there was a landslide somewhere on the road which injured many people . Its because our roads are not built properly that things these happen all the time .

" Tell me about it . I think we will be stuck here forever . ", I say .

" By the way , I am writing new novel this time . ", Sam .

" Ok ... ", I say nonchalantly .

" Aren't you gonna ask what it is about ? ", Sam .

" Ok , Sam tell me about it . ", I say .

" Since you are dying to know about my novel I will tell you about it . ", Sam .

I never said that I was dying to know about your novel . You were the one who insisted on sharing it with me .

" I am writing a fantasy about djins . ", Sam.

" What are those ? ", I ask.

" They are mystical creatures often found in Casian folklores ", Sam .

" I haven't heard about them . ", I say .

" Its the Cesian legend they say that there are creatures around us which can see us but we can't see them . ", Sam

" So , ghosts . ", I say .

" No , not ghosts . Ghosts are believed to be souls of dead people . But djins are believed to be different creatures living in different dimensions . ", Sam.

" Didn't you say that they are from folklores . Then how did ancient people of Cesia knew about dimensions ? ", I ask.

" Its interesting , isn't it ? It means people from ancient world also had their own ideas about many worlds . Even though there was no Physics or quantum mechanics back then. ", Sam .

" Tell me more about it . ", I say with curiosity .

" They say that djins live in different dimensions but they can visit our dimensions easily . It is also believed that their life span is of 100s of years . Cesian people were very sacred of those creatures and since they believed that djins lived in abandoned houses they never visited abandoned houses alone . ", Sam .

" Wow , I mean its fictional but its kinda interesting . ", I say .

" Well , we don't know if its actually fictional . ", Sam .

" What do you mean Sam ? ", I ask.

" Well , I think maybe in future we will have advanced devices which can detect those different creatures . ", Sam .

" What you are saying is completely ridiculous . " , I claim.

" But you just said that its interesting . ", Sam.

" Yeah but that doesn't mean its true . ", I say .

" Yeah but there is no evidence to say its wrong either . ", Sam.

" You and your ridiculous claims . " I say .

" Your lips look chapped . ", Sam.

" Yeah I know . I haven't applied chapstick for while . ", I say .

" Here I have some lip balm in my bag . ", Sam as he handed over raspberry lip balm to me .

" Thanks . ", I say .

AFTER A WHILE :

" Thank God . We can finally go home . ", I say .

" Yeah . Thankfully tomorrow is Sat so we have two more days to prepare before next paper . ", Sam.

" What ? Tomorrow is off ? ", I say in a surprised tone. 😮😮😮😮

" Yeah , why don't you check datesheet carefully next time ? ", Sam.

" Hah , I already checked it . ", I say .

" Yeah , yeah . ", I say .

" Hey , where are we going my house is not this side . ", I say .

" I know but you said that you are hungry . Let us just have some food in this restuarant . ", Sam.

" Or we can simply have lunch at home and save money . ", I say .

" You are so thrifty . Are you sure that you are the daughter of a billionaire ? ", Sam .

" Yeah but that doesn't mean I will spend my money carelessly . ", I say .

" Look ...Don't worry I will pay for it , alright ? ", Sam with a sigh

" No , I don't like to take any favour from anyone. ", I say .

" Ok , then you can wait for me in the car because I am very hungry . And I want to have some food . ", Sam as he opened the door of car and left .

I am so hungry . Should I just give up and eat something ? Yeah let us just do it because rats in my stomach are banging their heads against my belly .

" Over here . ", Sam lifting his arm up in the air as I enter the enter the restaurant . So I move to sit with him .

" The restaurant looks so cozy . ", I say .

" Yeah I know . ", Sam eating french fries .

" By the way you can have my french fries if you think that you will go bankrupt for spending too much on food . ", Sam.

" Stop it , your lame jokes are not funny at all . ", I say .

Finally, after contemplating for a while I order shawrma and tandoor kabab because they are cheap and abundant in quantity .

" You know some Cesian people also believe that djins steal food from your plate and you don't even notice it . ", Sam.

" Ok , please stop . I don't want to hear more about djins . ", I say .

" They also believe that djins sleep with you at night . ", Sam.

I ignore because I know that he is trying to irritate me .

AFTER A WHILE :

" Since I am older than you and you are driving me home . I will buy lunch for you. ", I say .

" No , need grandma . I also don't need favours from thrifty person like you . ", Sam as he paid his bill.

Thank God , my money is saved .

We are about to reach home. Gates open automatically as we enter . Sam parks the car .

" Ok , bye . ", Sam as he leaves.

" Wait , I will cab for you . Its raining .", I say.

" No , its fine and I like rain . ", Sam as he leaves.

Weirdo but he helped me today. Maybe he is not that self -centred as much as he looks .
