Threads Of Connection

Part 02: My Love (Episode-2)

Locked Inside

Looking at her, he gets confused and asks her, "Who are you? And why are you here?” By looking at him the girl got scared and shouted and said to him-

Girl: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Who are you? Why are you in the girl's washroom? Are you trying to sneak in for some dirty purpose?

Danny: Hey-Hey-Hey! Wait, please listen to me! I...

Girl: Don't come near me, otherwise, I will click your photo and upload it.

Danny: Whoa! Whoa! Please calm down, I am not a bad guy, please believe me.

Girl: Now see how I’ll expose you and your dirty purpose in front of everyone. I will ruin your career.

[Danny, sensing the gravity of the situation, decides to take action. He swiftly grabs the girl's phone.]

Danny: Listen! I'm not a stalker nor a bad guy. I was being locked in by Max and his gang. They trapped me there because they thought I was trying to act smart in front of them. So, as punishment, they left me locked in there for the whole night.

[The girl's expression shifts from anger to surprise as Danny's words sink in.]

Girl: Wait! Wait! Wait! What did you say? One whole night!

[Curiosity piqued, the girl's demeanour softens as she listens intently to Danny's explanation, eager to uncover the truth behind his unexpected predicament.]
  
Danny: Yes, a whole night. I think someone will come tomorrow and open the door. Wait a minute, we can make a call from your phone and call someone for help.

Girl: There's no network, so we can’t make a call.

Danny: But just a moment ago, you were trying to upload my photo.

Girl: chuckles I was just joking. I was trying to keep a safe distance from you, so I acted.

Danny: Damn! So, that means we're stuck here for the night. There's no other option.

Girl: Aaaahaaannnn! Why? Why? Why is this happening to me? It's all your fault.

Danny: My fault? What have I done? How is it my fault?

Girl: It's your fault! Why did you mess with those bullies? All because of you, I can't go to my friend's house today.

Danny: I didn’t mess with them. I didn’t say a word to them. They were the ones who locked me in for no reason.

Girl: Then why didn’t you complain to anyone? Just because of you, I'm not able to watch the last episode of my favourite 'Mochi-Mochi' anime series at my friend's house. I told my parents that I'd be studying there today. I planned everything, but now, because of you, everything's ruined.
                
While arguing with Danny, tears welled up in the girl's eyes, her frustration and disappointment pouring out in silent sobs. Danny, taken aback by the sight of her crying, felt a strange pang in his chest, a sensation he couldn't quite place.

Danny: Okay, okay, please stop crying. Don’t cry.

Girl: Leave me alone, I don’t want to talk to a stalker. Just stay away from me.

Danny: Excuse me! How can you say that? I explained everything to you. Don't act so recklessly.

Girl: How dare you? Are you calling me reckless?

Danny: No, that's not what I meant. I just want us to calm down so we can figure out how to get out of here.

Girl: I don’t need your help. I can find a way out by myself.
