After the break, peter , Isabel and Johnson went to the ground and saw their friends. Lucy was lying on a bench with one knee bent over the other , with phone on her hand , while Sebastian was sitting on the floor cross legged , pulling the grass slowly one by one with pouting face.
Peter : Do slowly, the grass will cry due to pain .
He teased . Lucy got up upon hearing his voice.
Lucy : idiot.stupid . I have never seen such a fool in my life .
Sebastian : can a crow tell to another crow that it is too black ?.
Others laughed except Lucy .
Lucy began to run towards Sebastian and he began to run around the ground .
" you can never escape from me ." She shouted.
Lucy after few rounds of running jumped on his back and began to beat him . Peter and Johnson went and pulled Lucy .
" Its good to see monkey's circus show , isn't girls ?"
Sound came from Clara . Nifi and Nifa laughed .
They all became normal .
Sebastian : don't beat around the bush . Just say what you want .
Nifi : clara is celebrating her birthday tomorrow . So we're here to invite her birthday party .
Johnson : advance happy birthday but we cant come since we are too busy .
Isabel went beside him and whispered " don't speak ...."
Peter closed her mouth " " we're busy except for you , okay ? " . Then he left her .
Nifa : then consider yourself unlucky.
Johnson : we are lucky ! . Because we are not going to fall for your tricks.
Clara : so you are not coming because you are afraid . Then that's fine .
Peter : we are not afraid of anything .
Lucy : we shall come tomorrow . But keep in mind that we are not like your friends who shake their heads for everything .
Clara went to Johnson and tapped his cheek a little .
Clara : then see you tomorrow at 7 .
Johnson caught her hand and said " I know drama queen , its hard to control yourself when you see a handsome person like me but ( he tightened his grip on her hand ) dont dare to lay your finger on me . He then let go of her hand .
They left .
Sebastian : so we are going ? .
Peter : I am not going anywhere .
Lucy : But you said ...
Peter : I don't waste my time by proving myself to pigs .
Isabel : Dont talk like this peter . We are judged by our own words .
Peter : ok mam .
Lucy : definitely , she has some ideas . Otherwise she won't be calling like this .
Then everyone went to their classes .
+++++++++++++
THE next day evening at 6'o clock .
They took bus to go Clara's house .
They went onto the bus . The bus was too crowded .
They pushed their way through the bus . Lucy and Johnson sat in front seats as the grandmother in their seat just got down . Johnson and Sebastian after two stops got seats but Isabel was standing . Peter insisted to sit in his seat and that he would stand . But Isabel said that they could swap their places after some time . Peter agreed to it . Isabel was standing , holding the bus pole . Peter gave her earbuds . She then listened to the music , tapped her fingers on her thigh . Peter noticed it and chuckled . The bus was moving in a rapid speed. She started to look around everyone , she noticed a man in suit standing behind a woman , somewhat close . Isabel didn't feel it right . So she LOOKED deep . It was hard in that crowd but she made it . That man had something shining . It was a blade . It was on his right hand which was also holding the pole . Beside his hand was that woman's hand . A slight twist of his hand can cause her nerve cut . Isabel looked around if someone was seeing that but no one did . Everyone was busy talking and scrolling their screens . Some were looking outside through the window . Nobody noticed it . She thought to see that woman's face but she was not so tall to see her after another woman in her 40s who was standing infront of Isabel . She wanted help right away .
Isabel looked at Peter and Sebastian. She called "Peter", he didn't respond. Then she called "Sebastian" in a low voice. He was leaning on the window and sleeping. She slightly leaned forward and took the phone from Peter's jacket. She then stopped the music and she kept it back in his pocket, but suddenly Peter held her hand tightly. Thinking that a thief had taken his phone, he opened his eyes and looked up , then he saw Isabel's face. His eyes looked into hers, and they were showing a mixed emotions. Fear , panic and surprise at a same time .
Peter let her hand go and asked " are you okay ? I thought that a thief was trying to stealmy phone . Come and sit . Its time to shift . " he was about to standup but Isabel didnt let him to do that by giving pressure on his shoulder .
Peter : What happened ?
Isabel leaned forward to his ear as no one should hear that .
Isabel : There is a woman and a man was standing , behind her somewhat close and that doesn't seem appropriate ....
Peter : Maybe they are couple .
Isabel : i don't think so . Now lets swap . Just see by yourself .
Isabel showed them to peter and sat on seat .
Peter saw that too but he couldn't see her face . Then he got an idea . He took out his mobile phone and raided his phone up and began to take photos .He first took a photo but it was not so clear . So , he clicked another photo . To others it seemed like he is taking selfie . He kept taking picture from every direction . Then a man said " hey what's your problem boy ? You know it's irritating .
" i apologise sir , actually I have an appointment with an important person . So , I am just taking picture to show that I am in travel . Don't worry . I stopped it "
He said shyly because he didnt know what to say at that moment . But others thought it in a different way .
" Then who is she ? " asked an old man .
" these are my friends .other two friends are sitting in front .
" so you all are going to see your girlfriend ?"
" no no , we are going to see a birthday girl . After that I will be going to see her .
" now I got it " replied the old man .
" we did love marriage " he pointed out his wife beside him . She was old like him but one could tell that she must have looked very beautiful when she was young . That old lady smiled .
Isabel noticed that the conversation waa going long . So , she decided to wake Sebastian . She shook him hard and finally he woke up . He yawned then raised his hands and kept them behind his head . " wha...t Isabel ? Please let me sleep " he said lazily without opening his eyes .
" what if a murder is going to happen ? " she said nervously . Sebastian' s eyes popped open and heard everything from Isabel . Isabel reached peter's phone which was in his hand . Peter could feel her cold fingertips on his palm while taking his phone from him . Isabel ans sebastian began to look picture one by one while peter was continuing the conversation .
" After an year , a son was born for us to fulfil the family life . He was cute . We loved him a lot ... all those days are passed . Now he has a family and he forgot us . We are running our life in pension . My wife is a wonderful gift from heaven . When we go home there will be a robot to greet us . It was presented by our son . He had thought we would feel lonely . But he failed to recognise that even his simple words would make us happy . " he said with a hint of sadness .
...
Isabel and sebastian stopped at a picture and zoomed that woman's face . There was no emotion on her face but her eyes were red . Isabel and Sebastian looked each other .peter turned to them after completing his conversation with the old man . " what we gonna do ? " .
" Distract him . I will talk to her . We may get any information . Sebastian call police and tell everything but say that we are sure . "
Peter began to walk front , passing through every passenger . Isabel followed him .
