page 69

....that day  limits were crossed  after the fifth period was over Hashanah reached the campus parking  to see as usual the uniformed chauffeur waiting for her,  she turned to greet her friend before getting into the car  and it was then she saw  him , zeeshan long haired just a couple of steps away from her,  his lean skinny face was    aglow in summer heat,  hashya felt he had stepped forward to speak to her  but seeing she had got into the car he stayed silent,  his  long hair and shirt both fluttered in the air, he stood looking confused whether to speak to her or not,  her dazzling car  started to move forward slowly  passing through the main gate of the campus to reach the main road,  it was then she  casually turned to look back  and was startled badly to  see long haired zeeshan following her car  on his bike,  his hair waving and fluttering,  she couldn't stop herself from grinding her teeth,  this was an awful  gesture  by following her,  perhaps he wanted to  find out her location  or he was trying to  catch her attention,  her feelings were a  mix of  pity and  annoyance,  it was awkward and embarrassing,  rest of her journey homewards was spent worrying and  in irritation , she was certain the driver  had noticed the trail
