The Vanishing Choice: Frolic of Survival

Mystical Encounter

[In voice call.]

Person: Do you have your lunch?

Elisa: I'm sorry. Who are you? (Very calmly)

Person: Oh. Come on. Can't you recognize my voice?

Elisa: Sir!!

Cyrus: Thank god! You remember me.

Elisa: (smiling) Actually your voice is cuter on the phone.

Cyrus: Whatt!!

Elisa: Umm.... No... Nothing sir. But how did you get my number?

Cyrus: From the attendance copy. Do you have any problems?

Elisa: When have I said that?

Cyrus: Leave it. First tell me, have you completed your lunch?

Elisa: Um.. No. I'll have it at home.

Cyrus: And what will you eat at home? Make something on your own!!

Elisa: Kinda... Something toast like that.

Cyrus: Are you insane? I asked for your lunch not breakfast.

Elisa: Then what should I make?

Cyrus: You don't need to make anything. I'm scared that you'll burn my kitchen. (Suppressing smile)

Elisa: What do you mean Sir!!

Cyrus: Ok... Ok... Now do as I say.

Elisa: Hmmm?

Cyrus: Go to canteen and wait for sometime. I'm telling someone to arrange your lunch.

Elisa: It doesn't need, sir.

Cyrus: Can't you hear at one time?

Elisa: Uhhhh...

[Cyrus cut the call intentionally. Finally Elisa went to the canteen and waited for her lunch. After sometime a waiter gave her a plate of fulfilling lunch.]

[In the evening, Cyrus returned home.]

Cyrus: Elisa, just wait for me in my library room.

Elisa: But why sir?

Cyrus: Do you forget that you've a syllabus to pass?

[Without replying anything Elisa silently went to the library room. She took a seat on the chair and looked at the surroundings. There are books and books. On the table there was a large table lamp lit. As the room is so small, the yellow light spread all over the room.]

[Suddenly Cyrus entered with 2 books in his hand and also took a seat. Elisa locked her eyes to him. He was looking extremely cute in that yellow light.]

Cyrus: (sighing) Shall we start?

Elisa: Hmm (nodding her head).

Cyrus: Today we'll learn what is 'Trochaic' in a rhyming pattern.

[Cyrus explained to her for 20 minutes. But at the time he guessed that she was not listening to him, but she was gazing at me only, which she does also in the college.]

Cyrus: (After a pause) Take a look on page 15.

[Elisa continuously looked at him with no response. Anyone could be irritated with that, but Cyrus was not. In his mind he was just loving her innocent behavior.]

Cyrus: Elisa... Elisaaaaaaa (little screaming)

Elisa: Ummm... Yess.. Sir.. What happened sirrr??

Cyrus: Oh.. Come on. I'm gonna asking you this. What happened to you?

Elisa: No.. Nothing sir.

[He forwarded his head towards her.]

Cyrus: (very calm voice) Is there running in your mind? If there's anything then feel free to tell me.

Elisa: Actually, I think I'm very tired. I think I should start from tomorrow.

[Cyrus continuously trying to control his smile.]

Cyrus: (in mind) Nonetheless she doesn't accept her thought.

Cyrus: Ok. Then what do you want?

Elisa: I've no idea.

Cyrus: I think a movie will be better. This will fresh your mind.

Elisa: Theatre!! (Exited)

Cyrus: Nope. In my TV.

Elisa: Ok (smiling).

[They both took a seat on the sofa and Cyrus played the movie.]

Elisa: (screaming) Huuuhhh! 'The Exorcist'!!!!!!!!!

Cyrus: What happened? Are you scared?

Elisa: (stopping her breath) It's not like that. (After a pause) Ok you can play.

[Cyrus knew that this girl couldn't tolerate this horror movie but nonetheless he played this intentionally.]

Cyrus: (in mind) You don't want to study. No problem. Now you've to face this. (Suppressing smile)

[Cyrus sat beside her and the movie starts. After 3-4 scenes she literally started sweating and lifted her legs on the sofa. Cyrus was noticing her, she started biting her nails.]

[And then... The first jump scare occurred.]

Elisa: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! (Screaming in fear)

Cyrus: What happened? Don't you like to see the movie? Are you scared? (suppressing smile)

Elisa: (holding her head with both sides) No sir. I'm alright. I was just preparing myself.

Cyrus: (in mind) Preparing!!! Huh!!

[After 20 minutes of the movie, the next jump scare happened and it was unbearable for her. With a ferocious scream she unconsciously hugged Cyrus tightly from his neck.]

[While hugging him Elisa started crying and told him.]

Elisa: (crying) I can't watch it. Please stop. Stop it (started weeping).

Cyrus: (in hugging position) Hey, Elisaaa. Come on. Look at me. Don't cry. Look at me. (Very calmly)

[Elisa slowly looked at him, her eyes were teary and cheeks were wet. Cyrus slowly wiped one of her cheeks with his right hand and with his left hand switched off the TV by the remote.]

[They are looking at each other's eyes. Unconsciously Cyrus came closer to her. Her right hand was on his neck till now. Within a second, Cyrus's lips touched her warm pink lips.]

[The time was 8:50 pm and the whole atmosphere was very very silent and magical. They were still kissing each other for 15 minutes. But they were not moving or didn't hold anyone. Elisa's hand just rested on his neck and that's all.]

[Suddenly Elisa backed on her consciousness and jumped backward covering her lips. After taking a pause she rushed upstairs into her room.]

[Cyrus couldn't say anything to her. He noticed that her face was totally pink with shyness.]

Elisa: What am I done!! Now he'll surely vote for my disappearance. (Crying)

[Suddenly it was a knocking sound at the door and the door opened. Elisa looked at the door and it was Cyrus. Elisa's heart was beating first as she was on the 60% percent of disappearance.]

Cyrus: (in anger) Elisa, what was that?

Elisa: (very scared) I'm.. I'm sorry sir. I didn't mean to disrespect you.

Cyrus: Then what are you thinking huh??? (Little screaming)

Elisa: I don't know how I can!!! But Sir I beg you don't vote for me.
