There were only four contacts on her list.
'Mom. Dad. Sely. Virza. She only has four contacts? Or she is just pitying ?'
Das took a deep breath as he sighed and said, "Why do you have only four contacts on your list?"
Elena forced a smile and said, "Well", she scratched her head as she said, "Because I am dumb I guess?"
Das stared at her in amazent as he turned around and said, "Well now you have five contacts"
"..."
Das started walking to the elevator.
The elevator door opened, and as he was about to set his foot inside the elevator, Elena pulled him back, and they both fell down on the ground.
The elevator door closed.
Das clenched his face and said, "what the fuck do you think you are doing?"
When Elena pulled Das back, she lost balance and pulled Das with her. The fall was cushioned by Elena.
Das was fine, but Elena wasn't.
Das stood up and glared at Elena, who was about to cry from pain.
Das stared at her, and after staring for a while, he pressed the elevator button as he said, "Serves you right"
Elena sat up and grabbed Das' leg.
"Hey!" Das tried to shake Elena's hand off as he said, "What are you doing?! Let go"
"The elevator", muttered Elena.
"What?"
"The elevator is broken"
"Huh? What are you talking about? It was working fine---"
A loud crash was heard from the ground floor.
Das' eyes widened in shock as he gulped down and said, "How did you know that?"
Elena groaned in pain as she stood up and said, "It's broken from a week"
"What?"
"There was a sign here", she glanced around as she said, "It's not here right now"
"..."
'What the fuck? I have been using it every day, and I never saw such sign, '
Das inspected Elena with his eyes and thought, 'Could it be that it was done by her, and she just saved here, so she can make demands to for saving my life?'
Elena tried to walk, but lost her balance and slamd into Das' arms.
"..."
Das froze for a second, and then slowly made a distance between them.
Elena's face flushed a little as she said, "Sorry"
Das ca back to his senses and started walking towards the stair.
'She slled good what the hell am I imagining?!'
Das walked down so stairs and glanced back at Elena, who was standing on the first stair, slowly placing her leg on the second stair.
Das groaned as he let out a sigh and said, "Are you okay?"
"I am okay, "
Elena placed her injured foot on the third stair and tried to walk down, she lost balance and fell down beside Das.
Tears fell down from her eyes as she gazed at Das.
Das stared at Elena who was crying in pain and said, "This is what happens when you try to act bravely"
"I just", Elena groaned and said, "I just lost my balance"
"Get up now. I will drop you at the school gate. You can call your parents after that"
Elena tried to get up, but she couldn't.
"Argh!", Das gave a big sigh as he grabbed Elena's hand and pulled her up.
"Can you walk? I am not going to hold you or catch you if you fall. Walk down at your own risk", said Das.
Elena slowly walked down the stairs by using the wall as a support.
Das was watching her from behind in a confused look.
'What's wrong with this girl? She is so weak, but she wants to act bravely. I acted rude to her and insulted her many tis. But she didn't try to fight back. I don't get it', Das thought as he walked down a stair.
'This girl is. Weird. Like really weird. And what is this feeling in my chest? I feel like destroying everything. Am I angry? But on what? Angry at this girl? No I am angry at myself. But why?'
As Das was pondering, Elena had walked down all the stairs.
'She saved my life. If I had got into that elevator, I would have died'
'Dammit! Now I owe her. Dammit! Dammit! Dammit all!'
Das walked down the stairs and said, "Don't look at like that. It's your own fault you are injured. No one asked you to save . You should have just let die"
'I would have preferred that. I have nothing to do with life. I am living in hell anyway. It would just be better to die than living this crappy life in this nasty world'
"How can I let soone die when I know I can save them?", said Elena.
"But why? Why did you save ? We have nothing to do with each other"
"That might be true, but I can't just let anyone die in front of . If I can save them, then I will save them, even if it costs my life"
'This girl argh! What am I so angry about? Everything she says is pissing off!'
"Would you not do the sa if it was ?", questioned Elena.
"Huh?"
"If it was in your place. If it was who didn't know that the elevator is damaged and the service is going on. And if you had known that, would you not have saved if you saw going in?"
"..."
'Why would I save you? Seriously, what is wrong with this girl?'
"Hmm?", Elena was staring at him with a curious look.
'What's with that look? Does she want to say, 'Yes, I would have saved you' or sothing? Well, no. I am sorry, but I am not as generous as you. But argh!'
Das slowly opened his mouth and said, "Maybe ?"
Elena smiled and said, "I knew it!"
'No, you didn't. You have no idea what I am thinking right now!'
Elena turned around and stood beside Das as she looked up at his face.
Das furrowed his eyebrows and said, "What?"
"Nothing. If I fall, then maybe I can grab you?"
"I won't grab you", stated Das.
"You don't have to grab . I am the one who will grab you"
'Argh! This girl is just so. Weird! She is getting on nerves'
They started walking to the hallway.
'But still, how did I have no idea about the elevator? I am pretty sure I never saw any sign. And if it was broken, then why was it working in the first place? This doesn't make any sense'
Das was thinking of the various possibilities of why this happened, but he couldn't think of any possible reason for it.
'It's too odd for it to be a coincidence'
Das was unconsciously matching Elena's pace.
Das was still lost in his thoughts while Elena was sneaking glances at Das as she walked with him.
Elena placed her hand on her chest and said, 'What's wrong with ? Why does my body feel so hot? And why his words makes feel '
'He said so many harsh things to , but I don't feel sad or anything. If it was soone else, I might have gotten angry, but'
She glanced at Das as she thought, 'My leg is perfectly fine now, and I don't feel any pain. But why is my heart telling to keep acting? Could it be'
Her face flushed as she once again glanced at Das, but-- Das caught her glancing at him.
Elena quickly turned her face away and looked down.
'My heart is beating like crazily! The look in his eyes is I want him to look at more', Elena smirked inwardly.
"Are you okay? Your face looks red", asked Das.
'Is he worrying about ?'
"If you don't feel okay, then call the doctor here. I am going ho"
Das increased his speed as he walked faster.
Elena's smile vanished into thin air as she quickly jumped and caught up with Das.
Das looked back and glanced at Elena's leg.
'I am sure I walked so steps. And with her injured leg, she shouldn't be able to catch up with . Could it be that she is just acting and trying to get sothing from ?'
Realizing that she has ssed up a big ti, Elena slowly crouched down and held her leg, as if she was trying to rub her injury.
'Maybe I am just imagining things?'
"What wrong now?", asked Das.
"The pain keeps increasing", Elena said as he rubbed her leg.
"Of course it will increase if you put pressure on that leg. Just call your parents"
Elena stood up as she said, "Okay"
Elena dialed her mom's number.
'Wait! If mom cos to pick up, then I won't be able to go ho with him. I want to be with him for a little more ti'
Elena cut the call and said, "They are not picking up"
"You called your ?"
"Mother!"
"Then call your old man"
"He is also busy"
Das raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you know without calling? I an yeah, I get it that they must be busy. But I am sure they can make so ti to pick up their daughters"
"My parents are lawyers, so they can be busy all the ti. Sotis, they don't even co ho"
"Oh?!"
Das shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then just book a cab or sothing"
"..."
"What's wrong?"
'He just wants to run away from . But I won't let him'
"I don't have any money on ", Said Elena.
