The Birthmark (#Wattys2016)

Someone smash Sylvester please

"Ah..What the fuck." I screamed to the top of my voice. I turned to my left and all I saw was a young man who caught hold of Sandra's hand. Sandra was herself shocked to the core.

The man had a strong and well-built physique. His muscles were bulging out of his body. His jaw line was the just the perfect one for a robber.

I was all confused. I don't have enough strength to face a robber like him. On the other hand, I had to save Sandra to save my image in front of her. I was afraid, that I have to fight against the robber to save my girl. But, my fate took a reverse turn.

"Sandra, Mr. Shane's daughter?" The man with the tough physique asked. Sandra turned back and looked at him. In a moment, I saw that the tension on her face slowly started fading away into a big smile.

"Richard!!!" And Sandra screamed.

Both of them hugged each other. My mouth was full open in shock.

This is a robber right?

"Oh, I am so so sorry. I didn't see your face first. When I did, I realized that I have committed a heck of a mistake. So sorry again." The man smiled and again hugged Sandra.

Most of the times, when I worry about something too much, that thing never happens. Same was the case here.

Sandra took no time to explain everything to me. "This is Richard, my Aunt's son. We used to stay in the same colony before." She said and smiled looking into Richard's eyes.

"Oh..ok. I was about to hit him." This was all I could say. Sandra smiled and looked at me for few seconds and then immediately focused her attention towards Richard.

"Richard, I didn't expect this from you. I mean, look at you. You are around 20-21 and this is your work! Robbery and mugging!! You used to study, right? Then, what the hell is this?" Slowly Sandra's happy face turned into one which depicted doubtful questions.

Richard's head went down indicating the shame in his eyes. For moments no one spoke, but then Richard was the one to speak.

"I went to college to pursue my studies but the environment there completely changed me. My condition deteriorated and marks went low. I didn't get a job and now, here I am. Doing Robbery and Mugging. I feel so guilty." This was all he said. It was enough to make my girl emotional.

"So what, if you don't get a job. Don't do this work. It's just shameful. I will talk to my dad. He has so many people in contact. He will definitely get you some work." As soon as these words reached Richard's ears, he got emotional too and hugged Sandra. This time it was tighter.

Then regular talks followed. Both were busy discussing their regular lives. They were too busy to even look at me.

I took some time to have a glance on my watch. Time was running in an Olympic race for the first time. 17 minutes had passed since Richard and Sandra had started talking. Now, the movie had only 10 minutes left to begin. And here I was looking at 2 people talking about serious environmental problems.

"Sandra I think so you should take some memory pills. You will get them at the chemist next to my building." I said interuppting the 2 people glued talking to each other about useless topics.

Sandra saw me and it took her no time to realize that we were getting late for the movie. She bid a warm goodbye to Richard and then asked me to walk faster. As if, I was wasting time here.

"Should we catch a ric?" She asked me. I didn't answer but instead I just looked around twice and then looked at her. She understood my answer. "No ric? Fuck." She screamed.

We started walking as fast as we could. The mall was like 10 minutes away. On the way, my leg twisted and I fell down in pain. Sandra saw me and got down herself too.

"You alright?" She asked. I nodded. My leg was paining like hell. But, I had to be strong. "Hold my cell for a second. I will get up." I said to her.

My luck is a topic on which writers can write a book on. When, I hope for some good things to happen, my fate will ensure that bad things do happen and vice versa. My luck enjoys this.

Here too my luck landed me into trouble. My cell rang. Sandra had the phone. "Monkey (Silly) calling." It read. Sandra came to know that it's Sylvester. So she answered the phone. She didn't even say a word when my bestie said a sentence which made her look towards me in a face full of questions.

"Dude, what are you really having sex with her?" This was all that he said. It was enough to land me into trouble.

"Mike will call you in few seconds." She said and the call hung up.

"Who was it?" I asked still limping in pain. Sandra didn't reply, but looked at me for few seconds. I made a confused face. She asked,"So, you want to have sex with me?" My eyes grew bigger and I got a big and mighty shock.

My luck and Sylvester both are best friends. Both ensure, that I am in trouble. And that too, always.

"What the hell are you saying?" I asked with curiosity filled all over my face. She erased my confusion. "Sylvester asked whether are you 'REALLY' having sex with me." She said stressing hard on the word 'really'. I got the shock of my life.

"What, no. He is just kidding. That's his only job." I said. Still, Sandra's face depicted the same questions.

"So you want to have sex with me." She said with a blank face. I didn't answer anything and cursed Sylvester in my mind. She stood still for a moment, and then came closer to me.

"Ok, I will teach you how to have sex with me." She said with an half angry and half blank face.

I was just blank. The distance between us decreased.
