Part: 8 Terrible Insomniac

I'm reading the novel 'twilight' at night before sleeping. I'm trying to distract myself from the thoughts of professor Zain. I just can't believe that I kissed him. I have decided that I won't go to college tomorrow because I need at least one day to muster up the courage to attend his class.

My phone vibrated which is kept beside me on the bed. I picked up the phone. I received a message from Mr Stranger on WhatsApp.

Who is this Mr Stranger? Again this question started ringing in my mind.

When this mystery will be solved?

Mr Stranger: Hi, Princess.

Princess? Really?

Inaya: Oh, hello Mr Stranger.

Mr Stranger: Could I call you Princess?

Inaya: You're already calling me.

He sent a laughing emoji.

Mr Stranger: So I think, you don't have any problem.

Call me anything but just please reveal your identity fast.

Inaya: No problem at all.

Mr Stranger: How was your day?

Inaya: Just don't ask.

Mr Stranger: Okay fine. I'm not asking.

Inaya: Aren't you feeling sleepy?

I yawned and sent him the message. I put the phone on the side. I placed the book on the side table and lay down comfortably on the bed after covering myself with the blanket. I picked up my phone from the side.

Mr Stranger: I don't sleep. I'm an insomniac.

Now, this is a serious problem. I've gone through it when I had lost my brother. It was a painful time. You want to sleep but your mind doesn't let you sleep. But I'm happy that I have come out of it successfully.

Inaya: I was an insomniac too. Any specific reason for insomnia?

Mr Stranger: My life is fucked up.

I yawned, covering my mouth with my hand. I'm feeling sleepy.

Inaya: Everybody's life is fucked up.

Mr Stranger: You don't know what I'm going through.

I'm feeling like I'm talking to my past right now. I was like this only. I used to blame my life, blame God for giving me this type of life and I used to think that the problems of my life are the biggest. I'm the one who is suffering the most in this world.

I was so stupid to think about all this. This Mr Stranger really needs my help. He has come to the right place.

Inaya: And you don't know what I'm going through. Look, problems and pain, they're part of our life. They'll never be going to end. So stop waiting for the day when you'll have no problem in your life. Try to find the cause of it and you'll get the solution.

Mr Stranger: It is not so easy.

Why it is not easy?

Inaya: First just stop thinking that It's not easy. You've to change your mindset, Mr Stranger. Nothing is difficult in this life, Everything is easy.

Mr Stranger: I don't know, What to do? How to come out of my messed up life? I can't find any solution

Inaya: If there is a problem, there will be it's a solution too. Before finding that solution, you just have to relax your mind first.

Mr Stranger: That's the main problem, I can't relax my mind.

It was my problem too. Don't worry, Mr Stranger I know what I have to do because you think completely like I used to think in my past.

Inaya: Not a big problem. I'll help you, Mr Stranger. You have come to the right place. I can completely understand you because I was like you only. You were right, you need my help.

Mr Stranger: Thank you so much. I'm feeling good to talk to you, really. You're a great person, Inaya. I wish you get all the happiness of life.

Inaya: I'm not so great. I'm just an ordinary person like you Mr Stranger.

My eyes are getting heavy now.

Mr Stranger: It's too late, you should sleep now.

Inaya: Good night and you too try to sleep, keeping your problem at the side.

Mr Stranger: I'll try. Good night and take care.

I sent the smiley emoji. I kept the phone on the table. I'm feeling good to help a person who really needs my help. Earlier my motive for talking to him was to know his identity but now my main motive is to help him out. I fell asleep within a few minutes, wondering about Miss stranger and our today's conversation.

The next morning, I woke up and went to get fresh. I'm not going to college today because I can't face professor Zain. I wore a loose T-Shirt and shorts. As I messaged Anu that I'm not coming to college, she called me.

"If you're not coming then I'm not going too." She said as I picked up her call. I smiled after listening to her words.

"I knew it," I said and we both chuckled.

"I'll call you later, Anu. I have to make breakfast." We bid bye and hang up the call.

As I hang up the call, I received a message from Mr Stranger.

Mr Stranger: Good Morning, Princess.

Inaya: Good morning, Mr Stranger. Did you sleep last night?

Mr Stranger: Just for an hour.

Inaya: Just keep trying.

Mr Stranger: Getting ready for college?

Inaya: Nope, I'm not going.

Mr Stranger: Why?

Should I tell him?

Inaya: Because yesterday I kissed my professor on his cheek. It was a dare. Now I can't face him.

He sent a laughing Emoji.

Mr Stranger: You're a daring girl. I must say.

Inaya: Yes, I'm. Any doubt?

Now I blew my hair in attitude.

Mr Stranger: No doubt at all.

I smiled broadly after reading his reply.

Inaya: And you know what, that professor is my first crush ever. He's so hot. So, how could I miss the chance to kiss him?

I laughed after sending him this message. He sent the laughing emoji.

Mr Stranger: You're incredibly amazing, really.

I smiled broadly.

Inaya: Thank you, Thank you.

Mr Stranger: Haha...

Inaya: I'll talk to you later, I have some work.

Mr Stranger: I'll wait for your message.

Inaya: Bye.

Mr Stranger: Take Care.
