Blue moon of the sky(Part-6)

 For some days honnata remained absent from the practices when she came she was made to realise that she had missed the disection practice.She became embarrassed  infront of instructor but when he was gone she remained indifferent.Not even anaya,her only friend in this batch, asked her about her absence for a week neither she bothered to tell.After the hectic work of three hours they all went to cafeteria.While having lunch ashir made all of them to listen his pathetic joke.

"look anaya!last night fahim after being hurt called 1122 for help.He said:

Operator!operator!call me an ambulance!
ok!sir!you are an ambulance!"

All laughed and then had lunch.After lunch ashtar broke the silence and asked honnata:

"Where were you been for so many days?"

He cared?!he remembered?!he felt my absence when no one?!.These quetions were rolling her brain.But thought of his flirtatious nature made her relax.Her answer was so brief yet her tongue slipped.

"I..wa..was busy!"

 "Oh!then you should learn the techniques of disection."

Anaya took a chance and spoke out:

"The poor soul is a robot who firstly obeyed her parents and came in this field and now she will surely obey you."

All laughed but ashir laughed the most where as ashtar just smiled.

"I'll learn,thank you!". This time there was harshness in her tone.

It was almost 5:30pm.These birds were going to be release at 6:00pm.Ashtar was killing the time with patients where as anum and hira gave him company and laughed out even on his lame joke.Suddenly,he stood up and went to the locker room.This was a little room having lockers of these fifteen interns.He sorted out his own account and then sat on a chair.He sometimes saw room and it's walls.Then his eyes caught a paper on floor.A little folded paper.He stood up and went close to it leaned down and unfolded paper.There was a poem on it.He started reading it:

"I lost myself

In the hurdles of my life

Dark!dark!dark!

How can i smile?...."

Before he could complete it he saw a vague shadow running towards him.Gradually,he realised that it was honnata she came close to him her breath was not normal.She snatched her poem and was about to run when ashtar stopped her:

"Hey!let me read it completely"

She didn't bother to answer.Turned back and was going.

"Hey cinderella!stop running or else you might loose your shoe". He smiled and said.

"I am bare-foot on the roads of life.So no worry!"

"Just like her!"

This time ashtar said these words to himself and didn't stop her.Whereas honnata,too,listened these words but didn't pay any heed to him.
