Chapter: 6 Mr Stranger

Last night, I couldn't sleep properly. Those messages from an unknown number were making me restless. Now also I'm thinking about those messages, standing under the shower. I want to know, why he messaged me and what type of help he needs from me. I really want to know. 

But how because I have blocked him? 

Should I unblock him? But how can I trust him? 

Maybe he is a fraud. But how can he harm me through the phone? I think talking to him over the phone is harmless. I'll unblock him and talk to him. Maybe, I would get to know something about him. Maybe he genuinely needs my help. 

I walked out of the bathroom, wrapping the towel around my body. I picked up my phone from the table. First, I unblocked him and then I sent him a message. 

Inaya: How can I help you? 

I waited for him to see my message for five minutes, staring at the phone screen. 

"He'll reply Inaya, why are you getting desperate?" My mind asked me. Seriously, I don't know why I'm waiting for his message. 

I shook my head and kept my phone on the table. I wore a white knee-length dress and got ready for college. Today, I have kept my hair open. 

"Something is missing." I thought, staring at myself in the mirror. 

Oh, lipgloss, How can I forget this? I slapped my head. I leaned down and picked up the lipgloss from the dressing table. I applied it to my lips and chuckled after giving a kiss to myself. 

"Now, you're looking perfect," I said to myself and smiled, looking at myself in the mirror. I'm beautiful. 

I picked up my phone to check his message but still, he hadn't seen my message. I'm getting desperate to know what he wants from me. Sometimes I behave like a curious kid.

As I kept the phone in my handbag, it vibrated. I slid my hand inside the bag and took the phone out. Finally, he replied.

Unknown: If you talk to me, it will be a great help. 

I narrowed my eyes. I'm not understanding. How will I help him by just talking to him? I'm bemused. 

Inaya: What do you want from me? 

Unknown: I just want you to talk to me and nothing else. 

What? This is so confusing. 

Inaya: But Why?

Really, why does he want to talk to me? 

I'm waiting for his message for a minute. Maybe he's typing a long message. Maybe I'll get to know something about him.

Unknown: I myself don't know why you. From the day I saw you, I'm feeling like there is a strong connection between us that is pulling me towards you. I can't meet you and talk to you. That's why I found out your number. I just want you as my friend. Trust me, I don't want anything else from you. I know, it is difficult to trust a stranger that too who is not revealing his identity but still, trust me, I'm not lying.

I was right. Here came his long message. I read it. He's looking confused like me. 

Should I trust him? Should I talk to him? Maybe he's lying. 

I think I should talk to him because there's no harm in talking. I will talk to him because I want to find out who is he. Maybe he'll reveal his identity later on. If he's lying then too there will be no harm in talking. 

Unknown: Can we be friends? 

I don't know anything about him. How can I become his friend? I need some time. 

Inaya: I'll think about it. 

Unknown: I'm happy. At least you're talking to me. Thank you.

I don't know why but I'm feeling like he is a genuine person. 

Inaya: At least you can tell me your name to me. I have to save your number.

Unknown: You can call me Mr Stranger. 

I knew it, he won't tell. 

Inaya: So, you can't even tell me your name. 

Why he can't even tell his name? Why? Will I ever find my answers? 

I saved his number on my phone as Mr Stranger. He is becoming a mystery now.

Mr Stranger: I can't reveal my identity. But really thank you for talking to me. It means a lot to me. You're really a nice girl.

A smile flashed on my face after reading his message. 

Now why I'm smiling this? 

Inaya: Look, I don't trust you. I'm just talking to you because I think there's no harm in talking over the phone. 

Mr Stranger: Don't worry, I'll never harm you in any way. I owe you. 

I again smiled. Shit! What is wrong with me?

"Oh god, I'm getting late for college. I've to make breakfast also." I freaked out as I looked at the time. 

Inaya: I'll talk to you later. I'm getting late for college. 

Mr Stranger: Okay bye and take care. 

Inaya: Bye.

I typed the message in a hurry and rushed out of the room after keeping my phone in the handbag. I darted into the kitchen. 

Dad is already making breakfast. Let's check what he is making. 

"What are you making, dad?" I asked, standing beside him. 

"Quaker Oats, Healthy and very very tasty," Dad said like he's doing add for Oats. 

"Dad, I'm already late for college. I'll eat something in college only." I told him in one go. 

"Relax, Inaya." Dad put his hands over my shoulders and I took a deep breath. "Now you go." 

"Bye dad and I love you." I kissed his cheek and he chuckled. 

"Bye my doll and take care of yourself." He gave me a side hug and gently kissed my forehead. I smiled at him and walked out of the kitchen. 

I left for college not before meeting mom and giving a tight to her.

I reached college on time. I'm sitting at my desk and waiting for Anu. She's late today. 

Inaya: Where are you? Are you not coming today? 

I messaged her after taking my phone out of my handbag. 

The first class is with Professor Zain. I don't know today, he will let me attend the class or not. I can't even stare at him. I'm kind of jealous of other girls because they can stare at him but I can't. That's not fair. Why did he do this to me?

"Inaya, where are you lost?" I came on the earth back as Anu shook me, sitting beside me. 

When did she come? I was so busy wondering about him.

"Just thinking about our new project." I lied to her. I can't tell her that I'm thinking about professor Zain because she'll again start teasing me. 

"I know you're thinking about him." She caught my lie like always. 

I asked her, looking around. "Him? Who ?" I act innocent like I don't know what she's talking about. 

She chuckled. "Don't worry, he'll let you attend the lecture today."

I gave a forceful smile to her. "You're saying as if he told you." I rolled my eyes. Seriously I'm so frustrated with his attitude.

"My sixth sense is saying this." 

"Wow, Amazing." I sneered at her. 

"My Inaya, don't think too much about him or else you'll fall in love with him." She fell about. 

I scowled at her. "Shut up, Anu." I slapped her shoulder.

She took a deep breath and controlled herself from laughing. "Okay, I'm quiet." She put her finger on her lips. 

I smiled, pulling her cheeks. "You're completely crazy." She laughed out.

"You too." Now we both laughed. 

We became quiet as professor Zain stepped into the room. There is pin-drop silence in the room and I can only hear the sound of his footsteps. Like always my heart skipped beating as I looked at his handsome face. He is a very prepossessing sort of person. Today he is looking damn hot in a black jacket, white shirt and black jeans. I'm gawking at him like an idiot like always. I'm insane.
