Game of Love

The New Boss

Sowmya was returning home after finally getting her dream internship in the 'Jaden Publishers'. In the metro she felt like someone is watching over her. She looked up from her mobile and saw a rugged man in a red hoodie staring in her direction. Sowmya can't see his face clearly as his hoodie and black shades covered half of his face. He seems to be tall, manly and even had a beard. There is a guitar bag next to him. His clothes made it clear that he must be a musician or someone who is connected with music. While Sowmya was observing him there is a tap on her shoulder. She turned to see and found it to be her fellow classmate from the university, Anjali. She let out a huge smile and turned to see the red hoodie stranger, but he was gone by the moment. Sowmya didn't mind it and continued her conversation with her friend. Anjali, before getting off at her stop told Sowmya that there is a reunion plan going on and she should come. When Anjali left, Sowmya looked around for that red hoodie but she can't find him.

She came home thinking about that stranger and the reunion. She recollected her college life and how fun it was being with friends and not worrying about a thing. She begin to clean her room as she hates it being a mess. At night, her mom called and they talked about all the things. Later after having dinner, she called her best friend, Swathi from the university in which they did their under graduation together.
As soon as Swathi picked up the call,
"So, when are you gonna tell me about the reunion plan?"

Swathi in a confused tone, "What?" And when she got the point , "oh about that... It's not even confirmed that's why I didn't tell you besides you are being so busy nowadays with your internship thing." "So what about the internship?"

"You still do change the topic when you can't answer my questions"

Swathi giving up "ok fine. I'm sorry but I have been meaning to tell you. By the way how did you know about that?"

"I met Anjali today she told me."

"Ohh..."

"And I got the internship"

"That's awesome, congrats Timon"

Sowmya with a laugh, "oh thanks, Pumba."

They both giggled. After sharing about all the recent happenings. Sowmya told Swathi about the hoodie stranger. Swathi started making fun of it.

"Ohh really, Beware he may be a serial killer or a psychopath."

"Oh very funny. Get lost."

"Do you remember how often you use this 'get lost' when we were in our UG?"

"Yeah!!! I miss that. And your crush turned boyfriend?"

"Ohh shut up, that's the craziest thing I have ever done in my whole life."

"What? Asking him to come to your hostel room?" Sowmya laughed hard remembering the past.

"Ok, shut it. How about we talk about your most favorite senior from our university?

"Ohhhhh come on, don't ruin my mood. That shit and his attitude."

"How can you hate someone without even seeing them for once?"

"Maybe I haven't seen him for once, but I have seen things he did and how it hurt people."

"He's not that bad as you've seen or heard about him."

" How can you say that when he beat two of his classmates to death?" "And he's always in almost all the fights of our universities."

"Ok I surrender. But how come you haven't seen him even once."

"Yeah he was in his final year when we were in our first year. And mostly he was in suspension."

"You haven't seen him but you have gathered so many information about him. Wow"
