“Where are you going inside? What happened? Listen,” she said.
The girl was moving toward the cupboard. I’ve been caught; she muttered and ran behind
her.
Her hands were trembling.
When she was just a little distance away from the cupboard, she caught the girl’s hand from
behind.
The girl turned back and said, “What happened?”
“You know everything,” she asked nervously.
“Yes, I know everything,” the girl said.
Hearing this, Melina started trembling even more and fell at her feet and began begging her.
“Please don’t tell anyone. He will die. Please, please.”
“Who will die?” She asked.
“He…”
Before she could complete her sentence, both heard noises coming from outside the room.
“What kind of noise is this outside my room?” Melina said, looking at her and pretending to
be unaware.
“You’re reacting as if you don’t know at all what you have done. Now tell me properly,
where is my diary?”
Hearing this, Melina’s eyes widened in shock.
“Which diary?” She spoke.
“My diary,” she said, “the one you hid.”
“I… I… I haven’t hidden any diary of yours,” Melina said, acting completely innocent.
“Tell me properly, otherwise my hand might rise,” she said angrily.
“Listen, who told you that I hid your diary? I am seeing you for the first time,” Melina said.
“What? First time? You are new here. So, you are the only one who could do this,” she said.
She opened her mouth to reply when suddenly
“What is going on here?” she said
That voice was not new for either of them.
It was the voice of the building’s caretaker.
“By now, the caretaker had already reached their room, while behind the caretaker, a crowd
of girls from the entire building had gathered, pressing closer in curiosity.”
“Ma’am,” she said, looking at the caretaker.
“At this late hour, coming into each other’s rooms is not allowed. So, what are you doing
here?” The mam said in a commanding tone.
“Ma’am,” Melina tried to speak, but just then, the girl standing behind the ma’am in the
crowd started speaking.
“I’ll tell you, ma’am.”
Hearing her voice, the ma’am turned back.
“Yes, tell me, "The mam said to her
Everyone turned their attention toward her.
For her, this matter was new, so she began listening to her very carefully.
“Ma’am, the girl named Lara who lives in the room next to mine, has lost a very valuable
diary. That diary is very personal to her. It seems that this girl has taken that diary.”
“What!” The man shouted.
“Have you lost your mind? You have accused her based on a mere assumption.”
“Ma’am,” Lara who had been arguing with her a while ago, said,
“This is not an assumption. She is new to our building. The rest of us have been living here
for quite some time. If my diary were to go missing, it would have happened earlier. Why only
after she came?”
Hearing the girl’s words, Melina became furious.
Behind the mam, the crowd became restless. Everyone began sharing their opinions.
The room that had peace a little while ago now had that peace turned into voices.
Knives were stabbing her heart.
Melina wanted to say something in her defense.
Just as she was about to speak, the mam said,
“Silence. No one will speak. I have heard you.”
“Although we cannot accuse someone based on an assumption, if you feel that”
“…that if your diary is with her, then you may check.”
After they said this, Melina wanted to speak, but in response, the mam placed her finger on
her lips, signaling her to stay quiet.
She began searching.
“First, we’ll start with her bed,” she said and moved toward the bed.
Lara removed the bed sheet and began looking carefully.
When she did not get satisfaction from that, she lifted the mattress and started checking.
“What are you doing, ma’am? See, you won’t find anything here. Trust me,” Melina said to
her.
Lara stopped and looked at her and said,
“Shut up,”
and then again started searching for her diary.
What should I do? She will trap him if she checks the cupboard. No, no, I won’t let anything
happen to him. I helped him; it is not a crime, she began thinking.
Then she moved toward the mam with hope.
“Ma’am, only you can stop all this. Please, ma’am, please tell her to stop all this.”
“Why are you getting nervous? If you are speaking the truth, then relax. And if you have a
problem with this mess, I will get everything cleaned,” the mam said.
“Oh no, my words are not affecting her.”
Now her hands and feet began to swell with panic. She could not understand what to do in
this situation.
Just then, her eyes fell on Lara.
She was now moving toward her cupboard.
“No!” She screamed, making everyone jump.
She turned back in fear.
“What happened?” Lara asked her.
Without answering, she stood in front of the cupboard.
“What are these mad actions you are doing? Move aside, let me check this cupboard.”
“No, you cannot check this cupboard,” Melina said without thinking.
Shit, what did I just say? Now she will definitely check this cupboard.
Lara looked at her with an extremely innocent face, but the ghost of suspicion was riding
her.
Lara grabbed her by the hand and pushed her to the side, causing her to fall.
Melina looked at her and shook her head no, but in response, she smiled slightly and looked
toward the cupboard.
Lara stretched her hand to open the cupboard.
Just then, someone said from the crowd,
“Your diary has been found.”
Hearing this, her hand stopped right there, and in happiness, she turned back.
“This is my diary! But where did you find it?” She asked.
“Wait,” said the one who had the diary in her hand.
Her breathing was heavy.
“I’ll tell you, "She said.
“Tell me quickly. What happened? How did you find it?” Lara asked.
“Inside your own cupboard, among the clothes,” she said with heavy breaths.
Hearing this, Lara felt ashamed and started looking at herself.
The mam and the crowd standing behind her began staring at her foolishness.
Out of shame, she had to lower her head.
Now it’s my turn to speak, Melina thinks, and says,
“Didn’t I tell you that I don’t have any of your diaries? When a person wants to disgrace
themselves, what can anyone does? Now you’ve got your diary, you can go.”
“Please,” Melina said rudely.
“I am sorry,” Lara replied.
But she ignored her.
The crowd standing behind the mam began going back to their own rooms.
“Come with me,” the mam said to Lara angrily.
“Yes, ma’am,” she replied.
Now, everyone had left her room when a maid came into her room.
“Ma’am told me to clean the room.”
“No thanks. Tell me, I’ll do it myself,” she replied.
From her manners, it seemed like she wanted to see her room empty as soon as possible.
As soon as she left, she closed the door.
“Shhh…” She took a sigh of relief.
“Today, I barely escaped,” she said and looked at the clock.
It was now 5 in the morning.
“Oh, no… he’s still inside the cupboard,”
As soon as this thought came to her, she immediately ran toward the cupboard to open it.
When she opened the cupboard door, she got terrified.
His eyes were closed; he was lying lifeless inside the cupboard.
“What has happened?” She said to herself, and then,
“Hello,” she shook him by the shoulder.
“Open your eyes. What happened to you? Open your eyes,” she said.
Then she started thinking
What if something has happened to him…
She did not dare to think beyond that.
“No, that can’t happen,” she rejected her own thoughts.
She held the hand that was outside. His hand was drenched in sweat.
Her hands started trembling.
She placed four fingers of her right hand under his hand, put her thumb on his pulse, and
pressed.
Thank God she smiled with happiness. Tears came into her eyes.
“He is alive. If something had happened to him, how would I forgive myself? I already hate
myself,” she kept murmuring.
“I’ll have to take him out,” she thought.
Then, with the same hand whose pulse she had checked, she started pulling it.
“Ah…”
She was using all her strengths.
“I don’t know why boys maintain such perfect bodies. He’s very heavy. I won’t be able to
do this,” she said, her breath becoming heavy.
In carelessness, his hand slipped from her grip, and because of the jerk, she went back and
hit a table, hitting her head.
“Ah… ah…” she screamed.
She could not bring him completely out, who was half inside the cupboard and half outside.
Now he started coming to his senses.
On the other side, because of the injury to her head, she started feeling dizzy. Everything
began to blur.
She placed her hand on the back of her head, and when she brought it in front of her eyes,
blood was coming from her head.
“Ah…”
She looked toward the cupboard.
He had come to his senses and was running toward her.
She was about to faint and fall to the ground, but he caught her.
One of his hands was under her head, and the other on her waist.
“Open your eyes. What happened to you?” He spoke.
She was not completely unconscious yet.
She tried to lift her right hand, but because of her unconsciousness, she could not.
It was the same hand that had been bleeding.
He removed the hand she had placed on her head, and with that hand, he held her hand and
placed it on his own face.
“You’re okay,” she said very softly.
As soon as she said this, she lost consciousness.
He lifted her into her lap and lay her down on the bed upside down.
Without delay, he immediately went to the drawer, opened it, and took out the first aid box.
He came to her and sat on the ground on his knees, looking at her.
It’s my good fortune that I got the chance to take care of you, he thought.
He took a roll of cotton from the first aid box and gently cleaned the blood from her head
with love.
I am sorry that because of me, you had to suffer. Every time I become the reason for your
pain, he thinks.
Her wound was not that deep, so the bleeding had already stopped.
He applied medicine and put the first aid box back in the drawer.
He came to her and stood there, looking at her.
Then he placed one of his hands on her stomach, and the other hand on her upper side to
help straighten her.
As soon as he placed his hands, she stirred.
She began to turn, as if she had felt his touch.
The moment she moved, he froze right there.
He was afraid that if she opened her eyes, she might have misunderstood him.
He was watching her, and his heart was pounding with fear.
She changed her position, and his breath caught his chest.
He felt as if she was about to open her eyes any second.
He was just about to remove both his hands from her stomach when suddenly she stopped
moving.
She had finished turning.
He could hear her deep, steady breathing.
He understood that she had fallen back into a deep sleep.
“Shhh…”
He took a deep breath while his hands were still on her stomach.
Very gentle, with the help of both his hands, he lifted her slightly from the bed.
Then he took the hand that was slightly above her stomach and moved it to her waist,
placing it behind her back.
With the help of both hands, he straightened herself.
Then he moved his hand from her stomach to her neck so that her head would not hit the
cushion.
And then he laid her down on the bed,
while one of his hands remained under her neck.
The sun was overhead; quite some time had passed, and it was now morning.
Her eyes still had not opened.
Then, suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and at the
sound, her eyes opened.
As her eyes opened, she found herself alone.
She looked around, but there was no one there.
Her heart raced, and her mind raced faster: Where did he go? Was it all… just a dream?
