STILL THE FEMALE’S HOSTEL
(Gold and Queen’s room)

:
Gold had stopped crying and was sniffing but Queen still held unto her. Suddenly there was a knock on the door which made Queen startled.
“Who could that be,” she thought as she stared at the closed door. Then the knock sounded again and it looked as if the knocker had something important to say.
“Who is that?” Queen asked.
“It’s me,” the knocker said in a cool voice.
“You who?”

“Nath!” came the reply again.
On hearing Nath, Gold looked up and stared at Queen shaking her head negatively, “Dont open!”

“Why?” Queen wanted to know.
“Just don’t open,” Gold answered, broke free from Queen’s hold and stood up. Then the knock sounded again, louder this time.
“I won’t go anywhere unless I talk to you even if it means staying here till midnight,” Nath said from outside sounding serious.
Queen glanced at Gold who stood leaning on the bunk, then stood up and walked to the door. Surprisingly Gold kept mute and just fixed her gaze on her as she opened the door and Nath walked in smiling.

“Goodmorning,” Queen greeted and went out of the room without waiting for a reply, closing the door behind her.

Nath walked and stood in the middle of the room and look around. The room looked neat and tidy and also smelt nice. On the bed lay a fresh pink and white bedsheets, a photo frame of Queen and Gold’s matriculation hung on the wall, the locker, wardrobe, pails looked well kept and arranged. Everything looked spick and span.

Turning to face Gold again, he smiled charmingly, “Hello beauty, Goodmorning,” he greeted with his hands in his pocket. “Nice room you’ve got,” he added.

“Who are you and what do you want?” Gold asked frowning and folded her hands.
“Can’t you atleast offer me a seat?” he asked.

Gold glared at him, then pulled out a white plastic chair under the reading table and pushed it to him. She felt very grateful that the room was big and wide.


Nath smiled broadly and shook his head, “No, thanks, I’ll seat on the mattress only if you join me there.”

“This guy is mad o,” Gold thought wordlessly. “Say what you want to say and leave, you have 5minutes and your time starts now,” she fired.


Nath removed his hands from his pocket and moved close to her. Standing infront of her, he touched her cheek and said, “Have you been crying?” he asked instead with concern written all over his face.


“No!” she shrieked and slapped away his hand. “Leave now!” she ordered.
“You know you’re not the rude type so please stop acting like one,” he said still wondering what could make her cry.
Gold kept mute and stared at his head like he’d gone nuts. She felt like raining insults on him but kept calm and waited to hear what he had to say.

“I’m here for us to talk like mature adults, so please give me a listening ear,” he pleaded and waited for her to say something but when she didn’t, he continued. “You’re beautiful,” he admired, looking at her lovingly.

“Thank you,” she said sharply. “I’ve heard that a thousand times, now please leave,” she unfolded her hands and gestured to the door.

Nath swallowed hard. He thought it wasn’t the right time to talk to her, so he decided to leave. “Alright, I’ll leave,” he breathed. “But I’ll come back, If not for another thing but just to know the reason why you’ve been crying and also to let you know I care about you. So expect me by 7:00pm,” he smiled and touched her braids romantically. Then he turned and walked to the door. Holding the door handle, he looked back at her and repeated, “Expect me by 7:00pm,” then smiled again, then he opened the door, stepped out and closed it behind him.

Gold sighed in relief as the door was closed. “Why wasn’t it Jeffrey that came to see me,” she muttered, threw herself on the bed and started sobbing again.

Minutes later, Queen opened the door and rushed inside. “Babe, that guy is cute!, where has he been all this while?” she said excitedly and sat on the mattress.

“I need Jeffrey,” Gold muttered sadly as she carried up her head and placed it on Queen’s lap.

“Don’t tell me you’ve been crying again because of that fool, someone is here showing concern for your feelings and you’re crying for someone who doesn’t deserve you,” Queen lashed out angrily.

“I love him,” Gold cried.

“No you don’t, you’re simply obsessed,” Queen barked, carried up her head and stood with her eyes flashing in anger…
