The Birthmark (#Wattys2016)

Completely dumb

I needed a bath and that too with really cold water. Sandra was looking way too hot. I was burning. XD

"What, Sylvester isn't here?" She asked with curiosity filled all over her place. I was lost in my thoughts. Look at me, all drooled by her. She wore a red top with a message on it,"Don't mess with me." I smiled.

"Hello, Mr. Mike." She said waving her hand. I came back to present world. I replied,"No, he ain't coming. He had some work so he will directly come to the mall. So now, it's just you and me." I was way too happy inside.

"Cool." She said, playing with her hair. All I could do was put on a smile. Then, we were about to take a ric, when she came up with an extremely weird decision.

"You know what, I would prefer going walking. You know, I am putting on a lot of weight now-a-days so, you know, walk will be a great idea." This was all she said.

For some moments I thought that if she thinks she is fat with such a thin body composition, then who the hell am I? I could barely see any fat on her. She was like this perfect model. Her waist was just an ideal example for young girls. And now, she is saying she is fat. God, can girls stop being insanely weird? I guess, not.

"Ok. Walk will be an amazing idea. Anyways, we have plenty of time." I say with a fake smile on my face.

Well, walking was actually, a great idea. In that way, I can get to know her more.

We started heading towards the theatre. It was 20-25 minutes ahead, if we walk. The distance is too long, but really worth it.

Initially, everything was silent. But in just few minutes, I being a guy, spoke first. "So, why did you change your class? Any specific reason?" She raised her left eyebrow indicating that this was a weird question. But, she replied,"Actually, I was kinda bored of that class. Nothing intresting. So, I decided to change the class. I am this sunny positive person who loves modern lifestyle. Why did you ask this question, by the way?"

I immediately spoke up,"Well, you know I am that kind of guy who hates silence. I love to break the ice of silence. You know, it's really weird to just be with someone and not say anything." She smiled and agreed to my statement.

Then, regular talks followed, with we laughing at regular intervals. Chit-chattering we reached half way until, we reached a place where a stunt show was going on. A lady, his man, and their daughter were performing some dangerous stunts. Sandra got attracted to the show.

I asked,"You love stunt shows? Most of the girls I have seen, hate these types of shit." She didn't reply. Forget a reply, she didn't even hear my sentence. She was so glued watching that show, that she almost forgot she is standing on a road.

I waved my hand in front of her and then, did she come back to physical world. She asked,"Can we just see the show for some 10 minutes? Please. I know, we will get late for the movie but we will take an ric. So, no worries then." I was about to say a 'no' to her but asking a girl not to do what she likes is completely useless. At the end, she is gonna do what she likes. No matter, how hard you try.

I smiled and said,"All as you wish." She gave me a big smile. And I am telling you, when she smiles to me, my heart skips a beat. It's just wonderful.

We were busy watching the show now. The lady in the show, was riding a bicycle with both of her legs on the seat. And it was scary! The man was piercing a very thin cloth through his nose and now, the thin cloth was coming out from his mouth. And this was dirty. The daughter was just carrying a wheel full of flames. But, she was carrying it with her bare hands. Now I realized that Indians have a lot of talent hidden inside themselves. They are just not idiotic people.

15-20 minutes must have passed and Sandra was still glued to the show. She had completely forgotten that we are supposed to head for a movie. She is a completely different girl. All modern in a old way.

After realizing that we are getting really late for the movie, I ask her impatiently,"Man, we are getting late for the movie. Please, you can watch this later also." She agreed. And we continued walking.

Now, we reached a place where we had a option of whether to take a long cut or a short cut to reach the mall where were supposed to watch the film. If you are getting late for something, you will definitely speed things up, right? So here too, as we were getting late, I decided to take a short cut. But, my girl had different plans.

"No, a long cut would be great. Short cuts are for losers. Real successful people walk on long cuts." She said making me look at her in a completely different manner.

Ok, now is she completely dumb? Does she have any brains? Well, I don't know about you, but I definitely think that she doesn't have any brains.

"Look, we are getting late. We should take a ric and head towards the mall faster." I said. She got upset and made a puppy face. It had a big effect on me. I melted.

So, we took a long cut and started walking. This long cut lane was completely deserted. Hardly, 1 or 2 humans could be seen. And the girl with me was cracking some utterly boring and nonsense types of jokes. The most funny thing was that she was laughing on her own jokes as well. I was happy for a thing. That in such a less time, Sandra got close to me. She became a very good friend of mine.

Everything was going perfect, until....

Someone caught hold of her hand!!!
And she got pulled away.
