Mah Laaj was gasping when she crossed the threshold of her university gate.

Phew! I would've been a dead meat if he caught me there. She giggled and stretched her body.

Get ready LUMS university. Me and my Minu are coming for some exciting adventure.

Her eyes were beaming with happiness. But would that happiness last long? Only Allah knows.

Mah Laaj was wandering around to see the beauty of Lahore's best university.

She stopped when she saw a welcoming board on her way to her classroom building.

"WELCOME!"
LUMS is an extraordinary place for learning, discovery and transformation. Here, you have the freedom to ask questions, challenge the ordinary and spark innovat........

Blah blah blah. I just want to irritate Minhaaj. That's it. If this university let me do it, then my youthful soul would be grateful.

She smirked because evil ideas were roaming around in her head.

Mah Laaj strolled around a bit and then walked towards her classroom.

She was standing outside the classroom when she felt weird.

Why is it oddly quiet here? It felt weird. She mumbled to herself.

She brushed away all the thoughts and pushed the door. What her sixth sense alarming was right.

A bucket of cold water fell over her. She shivered from her head to toe.

Everyone was laughing because the water was coming out from her dress. She was wet from head to toe.

Poor lil soul. You could've avoided this if you came after the boy next to you. Mah Laaj looked at her right side where that senior boy's head tilted while laughing.

Minhaaj was standing with no expressions on his face as usual. He glanced towards Mah Laaj and then moved forward to the seats area.

He sat down in a chair and put air pods in his ears. Minhaaj opened the book as if nothing happened here.

These guys are done for. This KHAN girl will not show any mercy. He reckoned in his mind. One side of his lip turned up and formed a smirk but it vanished in a second too.

Mah Laaj felt like someone put her head on fire because Minhaaj totally ignored her.

Why did I even expect something from him?

She rolled her shirt sleeves and put her stuff on the ground.

"Who did this? Just come out. I don't want to hurt any innocent person." She batted her eyes with a fake smile.

One boy stepped out of the group.

It's okay kid. It's just a prank. Chill. He put his hand over Mah Laaj's shoulder and that was the worst thing he had done in his whole life.

Mah Laaj kicked right in the middle. The senior boy crouches and groaned in pain.

Every phone was recording that moment except Minhaaj. He was sitting in the corner and enjoying his HARRY POTTER novel where Hermione Granger was teaching Draco Malfoy a great lesson.

The other senior came out of the group and grabbed her coat from the front.

She gave him a kick on groin with an elbow strike.

"2 down and 5 left. Now tell me who is next?" Mah Laaj was ready to beat the shit out of them.

Another boy was going to step out when a thunder voice came from the corner.

Stop! Everyone looked towards him.
A boy was sitting on a chair putting his leg over the other. He stood up and walked towards Mah Laaj with his one brow cocked up. He stopped in front of her and got down to her face level.

"You are quite fierce baby. It will be fun knowing you." He tried to pat her face but she slapped away his hand.

But i have no interest in knowing you. So you better not try it. Otherwise the consequences are lying in front of you. She makes herself clear in front of everyone.

Mah Laaj picked up her stuff from the floor and walked towards Minhaaj without listening that boy answer.
She sat next to him like nothing happened a while ago.

Btw fierce baby remember my name. It's Aftab Bhukari. You will soon know why you should remember my name.

He said without facing her and waved in the air while going out of the classroom with his group.

"Like I care." Mah Laaj rolled her eyes and looked towards the emotionless jerk sitting next to her.

She tried to stomp on his shoes but he moved his feet immediately. Like he knew that she was going to do that.

"Stop acting like a baby." He said in a warning tone while his eyes were still fixed on his phone.

Later, a Professor came into the class and welcomed them to LUMS university. He was telling the history of the university in which Mah Laaj was not interested at all.

As time passed, that cold water was making her shiver more, that her teeth started gritting.

She nudged Minhaaj and whispered.

Psss. Psss. Minu! Minu! Listen, is there no way to get out of the class without getting caught? I don't want my image to be ruined anymore.

She showed him her puppy eyes and was anticipating an answer in her favour.

Hmm... No. Now let me focus. He said sternly and glanced at his phone. It look like he was waiting for someone's message. She controlled her urge to murder this 6ft guy sitting beside her.

Mah Laaj gaze traveled where Minhaaj was looking. One side of her lips turned up.

A message popped up on his phone when Mah Laaj was making evil plans in her mind.

Minhaaj raised his hand to pick up the phone, but Mah Laj lay her hand on his phone before he could grabbed it and put it in her bag.

Give me back my phone Mah Laaj. He whispered.

First take me out, then I will give you. She said while wiggling her brows.

"Mah Laaj give it back while I am asking nicely."

For the first time there were worried expressions on his face. But Mah Laaj was having her life time teasing this blue orbs guy.

"No, first take me out." She was also not shaking from her stance.

Minhaaj pulled her bag towards his side and Mah Laaj pulled in the opposite direction. During their tag war session, all the things in her bag fell on the ground. Everyone looked towards both of them.

What is going up there? Professor asked with a lil tinge of anger in his tone.

Sir, she is not giving back my phone. So-

Mah Laaj cut him in the middle.

No sir, he snatched my phone first.

Minhaaj looked at her in disbelief.

Give me back my phone Mah Laaj now. You know I don't like it, when people touch my things.

No, first apologize for not fighting on my behalf with those guys.

Mah Laaj....

He stressed over her name.

Minhaaj......

She did the same.

Uff! He pushed back his hair in frustration.

In their bickering they forgot that they were standing in a class with a Professor.

Both of you, out of my class. Solve your matter out and then come here. The professor said in warning tone.

Minhaaj grabbed his phone from the floor and went out. Mah Laaj also grabbed her make-up stuff from the floor and walked out.

Her eyes searched around to find him but he was nowhere to be found. She heard a bumping sound between two people.

She looked towards that side and smiled.

Gotcha!

She ran after him but he was walking hastily.

"Why is he walking so fast?" She tried to match his speed when she herself bumped into a girl.

That girl kept apologising as that girl was at the wrong. Mah Laaj accepted her apology and looked around in search of Minhaaj but he was gone.

It looks like he vanished in thin air.

Damn it. I lost him again.

Minhaaj went missing for hours whenever he received a message like this.

Mah Laaj was always curious about why he always left in a hurry whenever he received a message.

Minhaaj has been involved in mysterious activities since her college days. She remembered there was a drug dealer in their college days who was making innocent students drug addicts.

One day she saw him taking a drug packet from that guy. She couldn't believe what her eyes saw.

Mah Laaj just went inside that room without any thought and threw that white powder bag from Minhaaj's hand. She kicked that guy on his knee and took Minhaaj's hand and ran away. They stopped in a crowded area.

She asked to explain himself but instead he shouted at Mah Laaj for meddling in his matters. He also told her that she had no right to get an explanation from him.

This did break her heart but she knew that he was doing this all because her sister died a month ago.

After that day incident, that guy was arrested for selling drugs. And Minhaaj didn't come back to college for 15 days.

Is he again getting himself into drug addiction? She tucked her strands behind her ear in worry and came back into present.

So the winners of the quiz are Hoorii001 and khyberpakhtun🎉🎉🎉

Who is this new guy Aftab Bhukari?

What do you guys think the message was about?

Was it shocking to know that Minhaaj is a drug addict?
