《Un-usual》Ch-7 The next day
Advertisement
It was raining. Everybody ran inside the cafeteria from the sports complex. Maria remebered she had forgotten her wrist watch back in the badminton court. She ran back getting drenched with the rain drops that were becoming heavy with every second. She ran and got her watch lying in the table. She took the watch and when she prepared to run back she heard a sound. She followed the sound and she was led to the gym. In the gym when she looked from the transparent no one was visible. She entered the gym as the sound was too loud to be ignored. When she entered she saw Arjun shirtless and punching a punching bag with his full force. Arjun's groan as he puched was enough to scare away people. His chest was drippig of sweat. His abs were finely separated with absolute perfection. Time and again his triceps were pulling in pushing his biceps out of his arms. His hands had a stream of nerves streching right till his shoulders.
What Maria saw in him was much more. She saw pain, she saw a helpless Arjun punching his life out on every blow of his fists. As the sound of the rain falling over the roof grew louder the harder Arjun landed his punches. She was speechless. She didn't know what to say. She stood there looking at a man seemingly so friendly yet so lonely. A man laughing all day yet holding the deepest of sorrow.
It took some time for Arjun to notice that Maria was standing and looking at him. He stopped at the moment he saw Maria. Maria was startled as their eyes met. "Umm, sorry just came hearing the sound, Are you okay.... I mean... fine...uh.... sorry..." and she hesitated with her words and turned to leave. She walked out of the sports complex and she couldn't stop thinking about Arjun. She turned back to see if Arjun had come out. Arjun was nowhere to be seen. She couldn't help but to go and check if he was okay. She wondered why did she even care. She went back and the sound had stopped she thought he would be leaving now but he was nowhere. She went in and she found no one. It was when she looked at the floor she found Arjun lying Uncncious. She freaked out. There was no one in the complex at the time. The security guards had also gone for rounds. She was alone.

She went close to Arjun and picked his arm and put it across her shoulder and then she pulled him up. He was heavy. She tried but she couldn't carry him. She instead brought a glass of water and splashed it over him. He woke up. When Arjun woke up he realised his head rested on Maria'a lap. He could see her face above him. She had worn shorts for sports and he was lying on her bare thighs. her sleveless and thin t shirt exposed her lining of her breasts which were now just a few ft above his nose. She was caressing his forehead as she hadn't yet realised that he was awake. Arjun woke up.
Arjun's face was red. He sat leaning on a wall. He kept his gaze to Maria. Maria was relieved as she was really scared looking at Arjun whlie he fainted. "Are you fine now?" she asked
"Yeah, Thank you and....." He trailed off.
"Don't stress yourslef so much." she said concerned.
"Aap apna rasta bhul gaye ho yeh galat jaga hai, aapko idhar nahi hona chaiye" He said looking at her. She didn't get a word he said but she seemed to understand him. She held his hands and smiled. Arjun's eyes were red but he held his tears back. She pulled his hand and smiled she held him close and put his arm across her shoulders and said "It's okay!". She held him and they walked out of the complex. It was still raining but it didn't matter. They walked and then Arjun pulled his hand back and they separated. "I'll go there" and walked straight. He wasn' rude but he was running away maybe hiding a tear. Maria understood this and she didn't force on going on with him though he was finding it difficult to walk.

That evening Rony approached Maria and spoke on behalf of Arjun. Rony said "Hey, he said sorry for all the trouble, he was just not feeling good and he's fine now and he is really sorry".
"Where is he? You said he is fine now."Maria asked casually.
"No he ..." Rony started when Maria cut him off.
"Tell him it's fine and i knew he wasn't going to come down and he can talk to me I'm not a ghost" Maria said laughing.
"Moreover a godess" Rony smiled and replied. "What!" She snapped back though she knew exactly what he meant she had eavesdropped them in the swimming pool earlier.
"I know he was really sad or angry or whatever tell him it's fine and I'm no ghost nor a godess" Maria went on not pushing the conversation any further. She walked away into the cafeteria.
