Sakeena (Episode three)
Where she had entered looked no less than a normal cafeteria
area. She took a sigh of relief and looked for a proper sitting. She cleaned
her sweat and took another moment of respite. It didn’t take more than one
minute for her to realize that she was surrounded by men, and only men. There
wasn’t a single girl in the café. It was weird. But fine. It was the morning
time and obviously boys bunked more often than girls. She was sitting on the middle
round table in the café surrounded by more tables, benches and stole chairs
right behind her. Filled with boys of all age groups mostly among 20s to 30s.
She looked at her cell phone. Disappointed, as it were of no use. The battery
had run out the minute her friends and she had left the college. Her friend had
offered her a spare cellphone. “Its okay. Why would need to call anyone?” and
she had refused.
She regretted more than anything in the world.
She called the waiter to bring her some water. She noticed
something different about him the moment she entered the café but had ignored
obviously because she had other more frightening fears on her mind. The waiter
brought the water. The moment he handed over the water to her. She knew it. She
went pale, goose bumped and shivering. She wanted to say “thank you” but only
blubbering came out of her mouth. He stood up and the waiter’s breasts were now
clearly visible. He was a homosexual. The guys around her were homosexual. The
man with the purple shirt in the corridor was homosexual. It was an underground
gay bar of the town that she was standing in at the moment. She turned round to
look for an exit but found nothing. As she stood with an unexpected haste, she
had now gained the attention of all the men. Everyone noticed she was misplaced.
Some started to laugh, some completely ignored her behavior while one guy from
behind the counter rushed towards the girl. She got back where she collided
with someone. The guy was sitting on a bench and apparently she had disturbed a
passionate moment of him and his boyfriend. The man gave her an irritated groan
and carried on.
She felt disgusted and wanted to run away. Hastily moving
away from them, she now moved forward and the guy rushing towards her had now
reached Sakeena.
“Is there a problem miss? I believe you are misguided here”
The boy’s gesture showed that he was a literate. Perhaps the only literate
person in the café. She hurriedly told the whole story and told him to get her
out of there ASAP. “Relax… I will help you. You need not worry at all. The café
you entered to was a banned sheesha café that led its roots to this one. I’ll
let you make a call and get you out of here”
She felt perplexed. “Should I be relieved?” She thought to
herself “Or is this a part of the game that I am a puppet of?”
“This isn’t me. I don’t bunk College. I don’t smoke. I don’t
lie to my parents about where I am going with friends. I am not a playgirl. Who
is this inside of me that led me to all this? And here I am, standing in the
middle of a gay bar, lost and all alone. I am not supposed to be here. I am
supposed to be in my home, where there were no worries. It was safest place on
earth. Loving brothers, my parent and the perfect lifestyle. I feel like pitying
on myself t have chosen this battle of distrust and the dilemma of having to
trust these people or not. What would mamma feel if she knew I was here? She’s
be worried to death. Pappa would do anything to get me to a safe place first. I
am killer. A killer of my own peace, indeed.”
She had nothing to say to the boy questioning to him. Nodding,
she only followed his lead.
