Just one dance....

" Who is Daniel?"

They had just come out of their Ecology class and were moving down the stairs towards cafeteria when Sila surprised Mawra by asking this question.

"Why would you ask that Sila? ". She didn't have a better response to it.

"I will tell you why", holding Mawra's hand she ran down the left over stairs and hurriedly took her to the far corner of the corridor, where it was quieter. To Mawra her best friend Sila seemed starnge at that very moment.

"Since you have been acting so starnge for last few days and since today during the whole lecture of Dr. Shahzeb, You wrote just one name repeatedly in your lecture note book and it spelled Daniel."

Though there was no accusation is Sila's voice, yet mawra felt extremely embarassed.

Can I be this obvious, she thought regretfully.

"Whats wrong Mawra, can't you simply share it with me. You have been so distracted and disturbed. Is everything alright? At least I have a right to know who this person is, no?"

There was no reason but Mawra had tears in her eyes. she never knew , one day her feelings will make her answerable to people she love.

"He is my dad's cousin." she said in a low tone. "was here on an official visit, stayed for hardly 3 nights at my home, I met him merely 5 times, the longest conversation lasted 25 minutes" Sila did not interrupt her.

She paused for a while and then said, " He is a Spaniard, since his mother is a Spanish lady. He was brought up there, he hardly understands urdu. He is somewhere near 39. There is nothing between us. No words, no talks, no phone calls, he treats me like his young cousin and friend and that's it." she paused again and for a moment Sila thought she will begin weeping.

"He's gone now, saying I can contact him anytime I wish to, but I never even tried to do such a thing. though thats the only thing I would want to do these days. He's left but hasn't really. To me he's still here or as if I am not here anymore, as if I have travelled with him to Madrid." and with that , her eyes gave way to tears.

"Initially I thought this feeling of liking him, feeling attracted towards him will go away, but it didn't. I am so helpless. there is nothing I can do. I can not sleep or eat properly, everyone at home, specially mom, think I am sick, I can not tell them, I can not tell anybody what is wrong with me, since I am my self unsure of my own status!"

Sila did not say anything. she gave her a tight hug, there was nothing she could do for her best friend.

Mawra Suhail had to fight her own battle.
