Something is wrong.
536 Words
We sat at our usual spot after buying our ice-creams, RM was talking about something related to crabs to distract me. Honestly on any other day I would've loved to hear him, I can listen and talk to him for hours, but now my mind was not in place.
I felt a nudge at my arm and looked at him confused, he said-"Are you okay ? I called your name 3 times but you didn't answered."
"Huh ... I'm fine"- I nodded hastily.
"No you are not. Tell me what's playing on your mind."-he said authoritatively
"Fine. I was thinking about Alan. He was never like this to me. Never, even once . He was always protective, calm and happy. I have ever seen him this much stressed. I could see the pain in his eyes. as if I am the one who caused this. This is strange."-I stopped and looked at him.
He looked kinda thinking. I continued-
"Something is wrong with him. He would never be so much protective over me to keep me with boys and over it he knows I hate getting locked up in house and still he has f*******n me to go out."
"I felt that too."-RM stated.- "Today morning he was limping a little. I asked him but he shrugged it off. That was strange. He goes out for project but comes back limping."
Suddenly it hit me- "Wait ! You said he was limping, right? "-He nodded.
"I touched his shoulder this morning and he winced at my action, I think his shoulder got hurt too."
We both shot together-"Something is definitely not right".
Normally I would've chuckled at this but it is not a time for such things.
"What could be possibly wrong with him?"-I whispered enough for RM to hear, I was still pondering over the things.
"Wait ! Let's start from beginning."-RM said thoughtfully
"He wanted me to help him, to be with you all time."-I nodded
"He forbids you to go out of house alone. I think he's being protective over you as he's going out and he wants you to be safe in his absence."
"Nope ! He is protective. But this is too much. Okay for a second I can agree with this. But what about the injuries he has?"-I asked him.
"About that- he might've got into an accident "-he suggested.
"No RM ! Alan is a celeb. If he got into accident he it would be all over media."
"But things can get solved by talking too."-He said .
"I don't think so RM. I think I should check out on him when he will go out to wherever he goes and then I'll find what the real matter is."-I said thoughtfully.
"No way I will not let you go out on your own."- He said warningly.
"I'm not a kid RM, plus I can take care of me very well."-I said pouting.
"Seriously, And how can I know that ?"-he gave me an 'I don't trust you' look.
"I can prove but when time comes. Okay ."
He was still looking questioningly.
"Trust me RM. Just this once . Please."-I pleaded.
"Okay fine. But let's go home for now."
