"Hello!! Yes Maa, I'll visit home. I'll come be next month to
see the girl. I promise." Shikhar disconnected the line and threw his
phone away to get ready for office. "When will life stop sucking?",
said Shikhar and went inside the washroom
He is living in PG(paying guest) from past 2 years since his last
roommate got married. An average height of five ft six inches with lean
shoulders made his ways difficult to find a girl. But, thanks to arrange
marriages. Even though no interest in marriages, he is following traditions to
see different girls every now and then.Yet none of them suited him due to his
limited options.
After singing some songs in absurd voice, Shikhar came out of
washroom and picked up his formal dress. He has always prioritized his needs
accordingly Darwin's theory. He had shelter, food, and clothes that weren’t the
luxury but need. His moped had almost no good conditions, but he kept commuting
on it for his sales services. Without having any food, of course who'll cook,
he left his PG and kicked the bike away. As soon as he reached his
blood-sucking office, he was called for a team meeting where a lecture on no
sales is given by Managers. "Yes sir, we'll take care of these things in
coming week", said Shikhar and left the conference hall. Sticking his ass
to the same chair and desk with no view of girls around was another awful
experience for him.
The day started. Shikhar started imposing his ideas on calls to
different clients. He kept complaining to God for every call that client
disconnected with abuses. Life wasn't giving what he wanted, and there was
nothing he can do about it.He picked up his cell phone and went to light a
cigarette to smoke out his frustration. He scrutinized few girls while puffing
out the smoke. "Damn hot she is!!"
The road was quieter than the usual days. He saw two bikers
resting their bike, opposite side to where he was sitting. One of them had a
glass bulb in his hand, filled with some liquid, his eyes looking for someone,
stared at one place and he moved fast. Shikhar followed the man's glare and saw
a woman in her late twenties having Pineapple juice at a stall. He calculated
the math. As that man fastened his steps, Shikhar ran towards him and jumped
with his head parallel to the ground and feet above two inches. He fell on the
man's side and elbowed his knee. The electric bulb fell on another side. Some
smoke out of it dispersed in the environment. Shikhar back kicked the man's
face as he bent by elbowing. The first man was lying unconsciously on the
ground. People around had called the security. The girl stood there watching
Shikhar do what saved her from something she could have never imagined. The
other person also started walking towards the scene to pick up his lying
friend. He ran towards Shikhar. Shikhar ran towards him. When the distance was
one meter, Shikhar jumped again, but this time with his leg high, knee-folded
till chest, and kicked his chest. Everything Shikhar dead was out of nowhere or
may be some Chinese movies he has seen.
The security has come, the guys were nabbed and Police was called.
Shikhar stood there after a brilliant unimaginative performance. He was
lighting another cigarette when that girl approached him. "I can't even
thank you for what you just did. But, thank you so much." She said.
"Who were they?"
"Even I don't know. I have to figure it out. I'm going to
Police station. Would you like to come?"
"I don't know. I got this office that I can't leave. But, I
think you should go along with someone."
"I got my father in the same station I’m going to. So,
there's nothing to worry. Where can I contact you if something comes up?"
"You can take down my number and let me know who they were. I
know I acted out of my senses, but I don't want myself seeing involving with
big gang group or so." Shikhar gave her the number with a serious look.
"You don't have to worry. I'll ask my father to get you any
protection if it is required. First, let me look for who they were."
"Sure!!!"
"All right! I'll call you then. Bye. Take care. And thank you
once again."
"Whoa!!What just happened?" Shikhar hissed and smiled a
little as he walked among the people looking at him with appreciation.
At night, Shikhar received a message from the same girl. She
turned out to be a senior HR in one of the firms in the same building where
Shikhar was working. Her crazy ex-boyfriend was planning on to take her down as
she chose not to stay with him. He was arrested by Police for his doings.
They continued talking as she continued appreciating him for what
he did. There were meetings, exchange of looks and pleasurable emotional talks.
The things went smooth for Shikhar for couple of days. After some day, he
approached her and there was no point she could deny to her savior. He married
to her after a year.
