Chapter 9 - 9) where are you going?

Zahir was walking straight for a while.

Man I been walking for like 2 hours didn't find a single person on my way.

Suddenly he sees the path splits 4 ways Infront of him,

Now the most difficult thing now is which path should I take,I could may let my luck choose it but soo far it didn't help me much.

Suddenly he feels that something is coming fast towards him,then there's behind him.

Then a gaint van coming towards him then he pulled out a sword from his book and Slashed it from the middle.

And to parts fell going a bit far.

Zahir looks back

This thing was the easiest thing to cut so far.

after that a man came running behind him afterwards saying it in panic did you seen my van.

Zahir point's him to his back.

He looks at the van without any expression in his face.

You have the strength to cut it that means you could have also stopped it with a punch or something at least.

Both look at eachother for few mins without saying anything.

I feel like you've more disappointed in me rather than being angry.

I don't have anything to get angry now at least stopped the van before it hit anyone.

Anyway why is that thing running and trying to hit me.

Bro that's a van,call it a van.

Ok,ok

I was trying to fix it and after finishingggg..... itttt

Then what?

Before you know it pls know that I am not a mechanic.

He takes a deep breath.

I have put the gas padel system on the key hole that opens the van door.

Zahir looks at him in confusion,

Zahir's head

(What the fuck is he even saying)

I don't fucking know how that even worked but it started to go straight.

Both go silent of awkwardness.

The second person mind

(What the fuck is he thinking about me, he thinks maybe that I am the world's number one idiot)

Zahir looks back at the van.

Zahir head

(How do that thing even moves it was moving like the thing what was it again,ohh lily's father called it a f1 thing or something)

The second person mind

(Man he is even thinking how did I even screw that up)

He claimed himself and says well there's nothing to do now.

Can you at least let me know your name pls.

Yes my name is Zahir, and you?

Salim Mia.

Zahir looks at him for a while.

Zahir why are you looking at me that way.

Nothing. but isn't that a girl's name, but you like a man.

Salim looks at him,in what world is that a girl's name, I never heard a girl name salim.

And I am a man.

Ok I understand.sorry sorry.

Any way why are fixing it, I mean the van in the middle of the forest.

Ehhhhhh when did I even told you that I was fixing it in the forest.

There's a town nearby.

And also why are you in this place alone?

Zahir's mind

(What the fuck do I even say)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... I ammmmm exploring thhheee world?

Ohh your a wondering traveler.

Yes,yes

But why are travelling alone most of the people who travel go in a team.

I... Travel alone actually.

Yeah cool.

Now I have important thing to do now.

Zahir we just met now,can you stay here for a bit.

I have to run back to the town and get a truck here.

How far is it?

The town? It's about 15 minute way it you walk there.

Zahir head's to the split van and puts one part on top of each other.

And picks it up with both of his hands.

What the heck, don't tell me you are going to carry it on your hands.

Stop asking and lead me to the place,

Ok,both started to walk towards the town.

After a while reached it.

You can put it here.

Zahir puts the split van on the ground.

Man your stamina and strength is impressive.

What is your work out routine.

Zahir takes a big breath and puts a hand on his shoulder and says.

Sulim.

It's salim.

Yes sorry Salim, I am very sorry about your van and I...

AHH don't worry about it, it is a normal day for me.

You don't have to pay for the damage.

What do you mean by that.

I have pretty bad luck, today was not the first time something happened to my van.

Pretty much every 4 days something happens to it.

Most of the time people blame me or just ran from the site of the accident.

But you are the first person who actually said sorry and tried to pay for the damages and that's already enough.

Zahir's mind

(How did I even dodge the situation,I thought he might ask something from me, What do I do now I have say something so that he believes that I was about to give him some money,I don't have anything on me)

No,no you have to take it, I damaged your van.

No don't worry about it. it's fine really.

Ok,then. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Salim mind

(Is it me or I feel like he has nothing to him, but he is well dressed and clean, but I can't forget this feeling.)

So you told me that you are a traveler,

On the road where met, where you are going then.

I absolutely don't have a idea where I am even going to.

What fuck?

So you randomly got out your house and started walking.

You can pretty much say that.

Man I am also a traveller but at least I have something to travel for.

Ohhh your a traveller also.

But your also alone, why?

Salim looks at him, because my bad luck nobody wants to go with me.

So then why are even travelling,

Because, when I was little,I liked looking at birds and taking photos of them.I had dream of capturing very single species bird there is.

It may seem it is childish but feel joy on this.

Zahir didn't say anything and thinks.

Salim mind

(Fuck he is going to laugh at me now or he might be trying figure out something)

Salim keeps thinking of every single possible situation.

After two stay silent.

Zahir started to speak.

So you are a creeping on birds.

Salim feels every kind of emotion there is at the same time.

How do you even you got there.

I mean you look at birds and take them hostage, so in birds point of view you are a pervert.

And why are taking them hostage.

Mother fucking I am not a pervert, and capturing doesn't means that I have taken them in hostage.

It means I have photos of them.

And How does looking at bird makes me a pervert, then in the same logic if they see us that means they are also a pervert.

Yes that does make sense.

Now you makeing that into sense.

Zahir pls never say that kind of shit to anyone.

Any ways we got carried away I like to ask

Where are you going exactly do you have a idea if the place match where I am going to help you.

No I don't any help, but thanks

Both talked for a while.

I have to go now.

Zahir if you want I can arrange you a place to stay here.

No need.

Then Zahir started to leave,

Before he leaves, he had a question in his mind.

Salim in the place I was standing there were there 4 paths where does each one go can tell me.

Yes I can tell you about it.

(First of all don't ever take the 3rd path.

That goes to the demon prince castle.)

(The first one goes Elarion Kingdoms borders.)

(The second one goes to the village of held.)

(The forth one goes to the capital of this Kingdom.)

Zahir crashes his head.

I will Try to remember everything, you just said.

Salim looks at him.

Now I think it about it again, It should have just gave you a map in the first place.

Wait for a minute here.

Then he runs brings a map, and hands it to him.

Zahir takes it and looks at him.

Just take it I have two more.

Thank you very much.

Then he opens his bag and pulls a piece of cream bread,And hands him.

You can also take this.

No,no you don't have to give me anything.

Puts it on his hands.

Then Zahir started to leave.

Salim looks him walk away, he loudly says

Zahir!! I hope we meet again someday.

He looks back, and moves on.

He returns to the place he was before.

Then he hears somebody shouting his name, he looks back and sees.
