Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 26
Location: Boston, USA.
Nathan couldnât figure out why he canât stop thinking about yesterdayâ incidence. The more he tried, the fresher the images got.
Colliding with a lady wasnât supposed to be funny, he however found it amusing. Especially the fear smeared on her face during that beautiful encounter. The handsome dude was awake all night, not reading but observing three routinesâthink, crack his knuckle and smileâ. He did little shopping in the early hours of the day, against their outreach, heâd decided to get a parcel for the young lady. He wished he knew her name to make the parcel more personal and special. Dancing to the rock music blaring from the earpiece in his ears, he slammed the last piece of ducktape on the already wrapped parcel.
Nathan gently placed the parcel on a desk, took a few steps backwards, smiling sheepishly.
Elvis shoke his head in disapproval, the Nathan he knew was long lost. He canât tell the identity of the young man standing before him anymore. Minute things easily blow him off his feet, first it was a bracelet. He managed to pull a rug over that and now bumping into a lady. Mere bumping into a lady! Had become a big deal. Nathan was indeed making a mountain out of a molehill. Heâd appologised and still went off his wits to purchase a phone for her! Some people really know how to misuse money!
âdonât you think youâar taking this beyond its stop?â Elvis asked softly. He wonât watch grass grow under his feet.
Nathan stood akimbo for several seconds before seating. âa token of appology isnât that badâ he defended.
Nathan was so elated after his encounter with the lady. he felt sharing his experience was the best thing since sliced bread. Heâd invited Elvis over.
Elvis on the other found the story boring albeit he couldnât deny the joy that brightened Nathanâs face as he explained every bit of what transpired. Elvis only chuckled as a reward for hearing the most boring story ever. Heâd heard of the mythical love at first sight, was his friend actually experiencing it? Impossible, Nathan never believed in love let alone a charmy one. âdo you love her?â he wanted to satisfy his bulging curiousity.
Love? That word sounded strange. No he wasnât in love. He was just doing the right thingâaccepting responsibility for his actionsâ perhaps thats the mystery behind the re-occuring images in his head. Nathan smiled at his friend. He shoke his head in the negative. Elvis sighed and checked his wristwatch. Just a few minutes to 3pm. âare you set?â
âyupâ Nathan replied while zipping his backpack. Heâd purchased all he needed for the three-days outreach. The friends stepped out of the room, Nathan locked his door, throwing the key in his pocket.
The noise was getting unbearable. The aura in the hall was deadlier than sahara. Heat pervaded the hall. Letty was sweating midly. She wiped her forehead for the fourth time in 30minutes. She wondered where other students were. The bus should arrive any moment from now yet the hall wasnât full. She reallx wished Jenny was part of the team, but the stubborn lady refused to capitulate simply âcause she wasnât a performance student!
The outreach was open to all and sundry but mandatory to medical and performance arts students. The young lady was still reminscing when a soft touch jolted her to reality. Frightened she turned to see who the âthinking-intruderâ was. Yikes! It was Nathan! Her achiles heel. The dude had a way of making her heart limp.
She just stared at him, no words no movements. He broke the staring contest and pried into the enveloping silence. âhiâ his smile was like molten magma to her heart. âhey!â she managed to force a smile. âcan i seat here?â he asked courtly. Who was she to say no? Even if her heart yearn for it her tongue would surely relay the wrong message. She could only nod. Nathan was amused with her head movement, it seemed like a navigator. She turned it west, east, north, south and north again. He retrieved the parcel from his bag.
âi thought of giving you thisâŠits the exact type of the one you lost yesterdayâ
âthanks, but i already bought another phoneâ she lied through her teeth.
Nathan was persistent, after much persuation, she collected the gift. She was actually contemplating to buy a smaller device.
âthank youâ she smiled joyfully.
