Chapter 101: TEN YEARS LATER
Shamim enters Ella's room and searches her drawers, he checks one of the inner zips of her bags that was placed on the drawer. She took the bag out yesterday, so there is a possibility that whatever he is searching for could be there. But unfortunately, he couldn't find it. He rants in annoyance then picks up his phone to call his sister. "Hello."
"Why is my lovely brother calling me few minutes after I left home?" Ella asks as she connects the call to her air pods and holds the steering firmly looking at the road vividly to avoid any accidents.
"You silly brat!" Shamim teases and laughs. "Jokes apart now, I need the keys to your car."
"Keys to my car?" Ella asks again.
"Yes." Shamim replies bluntly as he finds the question annoying.
"Which one?" Ella asks again.
"The red one!" Shamim yells.
"Shamim!!!!! Why are you yelling?" Ella asks.
"You are asking too many questions, just tell me where it is." He whispers trying to calm himself.
"Why are you bent on taking the red car out? What's happening today?" Ella ignores her brother's complain and asks again.
"Oh Ella! Come on!! Must you always question your brother?" Shamim sighs. "I want to take it out because I have a date today."
"Date? With who?"
"Please just tell me where the car keys are, your questions are choking me already!" Shamim laments sounding already tired.
"I won't tell you where they are unless you tell me who you are going on a date with." Ella bargains.
"Alright." Shamim surrenders. "I am going on a date with Casandra."
"What? You must be joking Shamim. Going out with Casandra? Impossible!!!!!!"
"Why do you dislike this girl so much? What exactly did she do?" Shamim asks.
"She is too rude and very loose. She talks too much, saying things she is not meant to say. Let me even be frank, she lacks home training and so uncultured." Ella says frankly. "Hold on, let me park well so we can talk." She parks her car on a safe side of the road.
Shamim sits on Ella's bed and exhales deeply. "I know she is uncultured, but I just love her. Seriously, I haven't felt this way for any other lady before."
"I know, but mom and dad do not even like her, they are just pretending to get along with her. But you know I will never deceive you or mislead you. I will tell you the truth." Ella explains.
"I am trying to see if I can change her, she is now better than before. I assure you that." Shamim tries to put in some good word for his girlfriend.
"Well, we'll see to that when she comes around again. Me accepting her is still pending, until I see the changes before I stop talking."
"You are just too strict." Shamim teases with a smile. "Will you tell me where the car Keyes are now?"
"Check my drawers or the bag I took out yesterday. I think I dropped the bag on my drawer."
"I have checked those places, and I still can't find it." Shamim says and stands checking her bag again.
"Really? Do you think Kim might have played with it?" Ella asks.
"I doubt it, she knows that is a car key for God's sake."
"Where could I have dropped it? Maybe you should check my wardrobe." Ella suggests.
"Check your wardrobe? Ella! Come on don't tell you dropped the keys in your wardrobe." Shamim nags.
"I am not saying I did, but just check. It might be there."
"Alright, let me check." Shamim hangs up and starts checking her wardrobe.
"Where could I have dropped the keys?" Ella ask herself. "Or did I bring it out with me today again?" She asks and checks her bag. Surprisingly, the keys were in her bag. "Seriously?!." She exclaims with a smile. "Who could have thought these keys would be here with me?" She stops smiling all of a sudden and remembers what she had told Shamim to do earlier. To search her wardrobe, Ella grows furious immediately. What if Shamim sees her diary? What if he reads the content and find out all the things she had been hiding from him? Quickly she picks up her phone and calls him. The call didn't ring much before her brother answers the call. "Shamim!" She calls with fear.
"Yes?" He replies bluntly.
"I have the car keys here with me, get out of my room now. I will bring the keys to you at home." She whispers with fear.
"Why did you stress me this much when you knew the keys are with you then?"
"I didn't know it was here too, I just checked." Ella answers still sounding very frightened.
"Why are you talking like this? Is everything okay with you?" Shamim asks.
"Yes I am fine." Ella pretends. "I just feel a little bit tired."
"Then come back home, you work too much." Shamim says loudly. "I overheard mom saying you want to go and further your studies again."
"Really? She told someone about it? I thought I told her not to inform anyone yet." Ella asks disappointed.
"Mom keeps no secrets from her husband, have you forgotten. Even when she was a governor, she hid nothing from her husband."
"That woman is a case to deal with separately for sure." Ella says with a smile. "Are you still in my room?"
"No!" Shamim yells. "I already left, I wonder why you don't always want me to touch your wardrobe."
"Why should you be searching a lady's belongings in the first place." Ella connects the calls to her AirPods and ignites her car, getting back into motion. "I am already driving back home, get dressed so you won't be late for your outing or date, whatever you call it."
"It's a date! A date! Ella." He corrects.
"Whatever!" Ella murmurs and ends the call.
"She is so mean." Shamim says to himself as he looks at his phone after his sister ends the call.
