Sight Game



Alia

Cafeteria was bigger having circular table with five chairs around it. Sameer helped himself a chair from the adjacent table we chose the corner most table. There were many busy on their own; few of them were our classmates had their own company.

And then my mind remembered ' at cafeteria' thing and my eyes wandered in search of them, a great streak of fury ran from my head to toe, thought if it hit him, he would lay dead here on cafeteria's ground, when I saw him.

The whole gang was at the table at center of the cafeteria having fun out of people.

Then our eyes met.

That AD guy spotted me with the widest ever devilish grin, I suppose, looked at that 'hooked to him' girl when she called for him and again turned to meet my gaze.

Our line of sight was parallel until 'hooked to him' girl intersected her sight from me to him having formed triangle through our sight.

She almost stood up to bump on AD or purposely jumped on him.

Oh god, I couldn't handle such gaze game. I turned 90 degree and sweard not to look back.

''What is it? '' Dhruv asked, ''you are all red.''

Yes, I was red. But I doubted if it were of anger for him or the fear. They shared half, I thought. I couldn't make out what I was fearing of though .

Him? Dang! Alia, you are being dunderhead now, I thought

''Nothing. ''

I said and took my seat. I was all flustered still I tried to look cool and made efforts to gather gut's, that would save me some extent, though wondered if it worked. I didn't know what it was, I was fearing something.

Normal.

Getting normal.

Almost settled.

I jumped. I felt something hit me behind.

I looked down searching for the culprit and I found that was wrinkled and thrashed paper ball. I reached out to pick it up and opened it. I read:

What's up, baby? Cool...?

I turned and found him giggle with hooked to him girl. Then my heart started pounding heavily for he stood up and strutted towards me with her, brushing my arms when he passed by to lean on the next table, while I tried to rest my heart .

He was still watching me with devilish grin and I too held the gaze.

Why should I fear? Who the hell he was?no one just a prickhead who preys on weak but I wasn't the weak one and easy to play. Still I had my heart pounding. Thoughts didn't kept me calm.

Little guts and I win it.

My group all busy talking expect one who noticed said, '' Guys, let's go . It's almost time up.''

''Dhruv, take it easy. Let's create a milestone of first day :late to class. '' blurted Sameer.

'' Better idea. '' chirped Abhi shifting towards Shruti, '' for I want few more minutes to miss beauty. ''

'' No. Let's get out of here. '' Dhruv almost shouted. I had no idea why he was that concerned though I appreciated it. Girls stood up instantly and boys followed faster than them and then behind me, Dhruv started walking.

I heard shruti saying, "I think Dhruv has got the instant studymania."

"With the toppings of lecture ostia and professor. Omg! What the hell, I said. " he laughed madly on his own joke while girls grunted.

" I heard. " Dhruv warned.

" It was supposed to be, " blurted sameer.

The two who weren't not in this conversation were Abhi and me. Abhi was busy checking out the other girls at other tables though standing to walk out and I was busy to listen to them, listen to my thundering heart and holding the gaze. What a multitasking I was, I appreciated.

Don't fool yourself! Just walk off him. As I was past him I tried to walk feet away , but he, noticing my moves, ran to the table near to me in seconds and leaned on it.

When I just walked to pass him by, I felt a feet before me and all I gathered the Situation to what and why it was when I found myself on cafeteria floor.

Thud!

I replayed that sound which was made just few seconds ago before concurring that those feet were none other than his. Obvious, that's for what all movement of him was.

My both arms hugging the cafeteria floor to safe my nose hitting the floor. My back bulging out and I was on crutch.

I heard Shruti and Richa shocked voice.

"Alia. Oh God! Are you okay? "

I was all red with embarrassment. I heard few laughs, giggles and comments('that's hot and big, man' I heard) . Dammit!

Before I could catch on Dhruv's and Abhi's stretched hands, jerk helped me to rise up by my arm, which to my surprise I allowed, whispered in my ear 'what's up... baby? Cool... Huh? '

My lips curved to curse him but his fingers tightened into my arms which kept my words or curse flowing free.

He steadied me and next I noticed him gone with her. Why to do this when you caused it? I wanted to shout this but he was gone.

I would have fallen if it were not Sameer who caught me on guard. My ankle was sprained. It pained. My arms were hurting . But not that much that my heart was aching and my hurt thumping with anger. That rage needed to be out but he was long gone satiated with grin in his face.

''Alia, are you okay?Are you hurt? " enquired sameer steading me.

Go to hell!

Damn you! Hate you! You i***t! You pig.

I said but not a word came out. What the the hell I did to him to get this, I thought but couldn't coin one solid reason.

It's this you get when you don't follow their so called RULES OF HERE which you still don't know what they are though. He was the one to bother me first.

I ran out only to stop at parking to pick my car to drive to my peace though my ankles hurt a lot. They called me from behind but I didn't bothered to turn.

I slumped myself on bed staring at the ceiling, all plain, nothing substantial I figured there.

I didn't budge to move until my phone forced me. I took my phone out of my bag . It was Tia, my school besti and soul and whole.

How much I needed someone to comfort me. Console me. She was there every time whenever I needed . And even now when we are away. Heart to heart connection, maybe.

I picked the call and said nothing.

'Aliaaaa...... '

she busted out loud forcing me to make a feet distance between my ears and phone, and my mouth contorted .

Enclosing that gap, I heard her half.

'....... Your day.... I know you enjoyed. You know what, I think you might have got to see a hot boys. Have you eyed them..... ' she continued endlessly an flashback of me falling and the jerks face came into view.

A**hole! Jerk! i***t!.......

'Alia, are you saying something? It's been only three days since you went and still lot I have to tell you...' again she went on blurting.

'What's with you? Tell me. 'She ordered.

' Nothing . Just tired. ' I lied.

' you are never tired when it comes to me and we both know. Tell me. '

She knew me. Even more than I knew myself. No way to escape though I needed someone to comfort me but didn't want to worry them. Or maybe later she would call me' crybaby '.

She always had comforted me but later on, had always joked about that thousand times a day. She was stupid. Sweet stupid.

' I crashed into an asshole and he put his feet before me... And I fell to make enough to make... Every.. Everyone to laugh and.. And comment.. I was all messed.. ' I stammered a lot and she was cool as she always was.

''So you just need to kick that asshole. Imagine that now. '' she asked and I did. I really felt better as he fell to the ground and me laughing my lungs out at him.

'' Make sure to bring in reality to that thought. '' she said.

If she were me then that Jerk would have been kicked at his rear end hardly. Then I imagined Tia kicking him. Oh god! It felt more good. I had the total liberty to treat him in any way I want to.

Next i imagined him drowning his head into bucket with water and he was moving his hands faster and was shaking; he was begging : I am sorry. Let me go. I am sorry. It felt damn good.

"Hey, stupid. Are you scared to real play that? Common Say 'I will kick his ass'. Say it. "

'' I will. '' I said confidently. I wondered why I feared there.

" That's my girl." she chortled.

Then I put that asshole at my last drawer which I hadn't made use of and would not, I thought so, and continued to talk about what Tia wanted to tell me. I laughed out loud but saddened next instant when she told me about mum having forgotten that I wasn't there and did arranged for me too for the trip to Manali.

'Hope they enjoy, I thought..

Tia and her family and mine made a plan to visit Manali, it was eight days trip, but unfortunately, I wasn't to be there, enjoying, laughing, smiling.

"Alia, there is something at which your foot will do hip hop."

I got excited and started to guess. Kartik might have asked Tia out. No, it can't be. If it were that she would have told me that the very first. Kartik is the guy Tia was stalking from high school.

Exasperated I asked her.

"What is it? "

" Guess what. " No won't now, I thought, " Pragya dii(elder sis) got her soul mate and they would marry soon. "

I screamed and jumped, almost toppled off the bed.

" Who's the unlucky head..? "

" He is executive manager at the sunshine firm in L. A. Makes much. But most important is he is God dawned handsome... " she squeaked and went on," Imagine dii would in L.A within three month's. Sometimes arrange marriage rocks! "

Exactly, arrange marriage may be good sometimes. Why the hell I was saying this.

Gross! My parents and Tia' s parents too had arrange marriage and they represent the most happiest couple ever. Actually most of my classmates parents too and I think they were happy too.

But I couldn't compromise the assurance, I shall have marrying the known git that that of having the fear you feel of what that stranger may be.

"I am excited. " I told her." Tia send me jiju' pic, this instance. "

" Okay. " she said. And then we babbled about wedding dresses, decoration, jewelry though we had lot of time, then she hanged up.

Few seconds later my phone beeped flashing 'one message'

I opened it and the image downloaded to show me the handsome man with a smile. I imagined pragya dii beside him in the bridal get up with 'Akash weds Pragya' tags behind them, smiling as being top of the world.
