Strangers in a lift-2

, , 25 comments
Before anything, dearest Pisa girl, Happy Happy Birthday!!!!! May you have a blast today!

See part 1 here.

Meanwhile, she was smiling to herself too. He kinda looked cute, too. His class was the other way, he’d said. And he also would be 18 minutes late for his lecture, now. She was just a few paces away from the lift. He could still be there. She turned.

He was standing at the little cafĂ© in the same floor. Surprisingly, he didn’t seem to be in the hurry he was in when she was leaving. He stood there, coolly sipping cold coffee.
And just as she was about to turn back and leave, she saw him give a looking disgustedly at his shirt.

“Ugh,” he exclaimed.
Just as she was looking, he removed the ABBA shirt to reveal a white, new FCUK shirt beneath. And grunting with disgust again, he took a last look at the ABBA picture before dumping it into the nearest trash bin.


Her jaw dropped down in horror. She saw him muttering to himself and she could now make out that it was something like what-more-should-I-do-to-get-a-number.
Her mind was filling with anger, and she knew it would explode unless she got out of the place, as soon as possible.


Suddenly the place around her seemed to be as crowded as ever, though it was just her mind that was clouded and irritated. And in her haste, she dropped her three books and folder again.
“Oh my God,” she groaned loudly.
As a few passers-by stopped by to see what had happened, he turned to look too. She shot him a venomous glance and continued picking them up. He ran up to her and tried to pick up the things.


“Hey, is everything fine…here, have…” she grabbed the book from his hand even before he could finish the sentence, and glared angrily at his shirt.
Slowly understanding what she was glaring at, he looked down at his shirt.
She slowly moved her gaze to the trash bin where he had dropped the ABBA shirt.
“Ahc, actually, it’s nothing much… just like that…” he tried his best, shrugging his shoulders.
“You know…” she interrupted, her voice surprisingly calm and cool. “You don’t really have to explain anything to me.. after all, we just are strangers who met in a lift…”
P.S.: I think I definitely have to continue this! :P

Twist ellam nalla than iruku.. ana ore oru logic than edikudhu.. how did he knew that she likes ABBA and prepared a T-shirt? he could have known that in advance, but he definitely is not a stranger then.. ?
