บท 26: Bumping into the idiot again
Ali, who was inside the lift, looked at how slow it was moving up and frowned. 'Wasn't the maintenance done a few weeks back,. Why is it going so slow?'
Shaking his head, he didn't think much and just made a reminder that he'll order someone to check it out later.
Currently Isha was waiting at the 16th floor of the building which was mostly just for small gatherings or rest/gaming floor for employees, so Ali just pressed the button and started texting with his sister who was quite curious about the little girl he sent home.
[-I'm going for a meeting now, I'll be home in an hour or two, so don't fight and bully her.] Ali sent a final message and turned off the internet. His battery was already on the verge of dying.
'As long as they don't pull the hairs out of each other's head, it'll be fine.' He thought remembering the personality of his sister and the tiny evil he sent home.
'Wait, if I'm a villain, and Alia is my sister, then is she a…' As soon as this thought came to his mind, so did all the memories of the very few novels he read and he could only curse.
"Fuck. She's a heroine too."
'No, I can't be sure, I have to go home and check it myself. She can't be right?'
A heroine in the villain's family is like the white eyed wolf girl who'll loot everything from her home and hand it over to hero, and later on help the hero kill everyone.
'alia can't do that, she loves our parents.'
"But_ but she is adopted."
'So what, she doesn't know that.'
"Maybe she does. And she's just acting."
As his thoughts kept going downhill this road, his head and heart started discussing amongst themselves about what could and couldn't be, and he could just grab his forehead and sigh audibly.
"What cursed luck." he said, adding another reminder to check her role first and then make sure she doesn't come into any contact with the protagonist.
"Maybe I should send her back to the hostel or something. Maybe somewhere outside this city, or even country." Ali thought, remembering how alia only returned home after learning about his arrest and injury case.
'Was her coming back also a plan of fate?' Ali thought and sighed as he realized it probably was.
'I should just finish this meeting fast with Isha and then go home.' He thought and closed his eyes for a second, trying to calm his restless heart which started thinking about the consequences if his sister ever really betrayed him and his family.
'It'd break mom's heart.' He thought and breathed out feeling a little tired and angry at his fate.
"Fucking bitch." He said and raised his hand to punch out, but just then the door to the lift opened and a girl entered inside. Her head was downcast as her hands were flipping through her purse, trying to find something.
Ali stopped his hand in the air at the last moment before it could hit her. But the girl with her eyes down, ended up banging her head forward and bumping into his hand nonetheless.
"Ouch" She said as she massaged her forehead where Ali's diamond ring ended up leaving a tiny red mark over her flawless skin. She looked up with her teary eyes, trying to look angry at him, but only ended up looking cute.
"Can't you… It's you?" She said pointing at Ali, as she saw his face and remembered him from earlier.
Yupp, she was the same girl whom Ali hit with his car earlier.
Ali too, recognized her and halted his actions to help her and ask if she was okay. He looked at her glaring eyes and pointing fingers and said "You again."
"What're you doing here? Did you follow me?"
"I didn't. I was here in this lift before you, idiot." Ali said, hearing yet another accusation.
But sighed as the blabbermouth bitch just ignored what he said without hearing it and continued blabbering.
"You did right? Why're you following me? I'm telling you I'm not….."
'Here she goes again. What's with this girl? Doesn't she ever shut up?' Ali, who heard her rambling again, thought in his heart.
He looked at her moving red lips and small black glaring eyes, as she stood straight with one hands on her waist while pointing fingers at him from the other, as her chest kept rising and falling due to her anger, while she kept saying whatever came to the tip of her tongue, and sighed while thinking -
'God sure gave her the beauty, but forgot to install the brains.' The sudden thought brought a small chuckle to his lips.
"You..Don't you have anything to say for yourself? And.. Why're you smiling?" The girl asked as she saw his amused look.
"Just thought of something funny." Ali said.
"What?"
"That God gave you a little beauty but forgot to give you a brain."
???
It took a whole two seconds for the girl to process that joke and then starts to fume again. Her face turned red again in anger, as her breathing became a little bit hurried.
"You.. Don't talk to me." She said, and turned around to look away from him. Glancing at the switchboard she saw the button for 16th floor already pressed before and sighed. Her mind finally reminding her of the words Ali said to her a few moments ago.
'Does he work here too?' she thought and guessed that maybe she blamed him wrongly. 'Looking at his clothes, he sure looks like he's coming to work, ohh God what did I do? He's not my boss or something, right? Like in those Korean office dramas. No, no, no.. That would be bad.
'Should I apologize?' She thought and looked over her shoulder meekly, but only found Ali's smirking face.
'No, it's not my fault, right? Anyone would be suspicious if they saw the same person twice all of a sudden, right?
Yeah, that's it.
And besides he didn't even apologize for hitting me in the head earlier. Yupp, it's totally his fault.'
Though Ali didn't know what was going on in the head of this weirdo, he could see all her expressions in the reflection in front of him. The way she suddenly became nervous or when she started clutching her fingers and twisting her scarf, or how she tried to sneak a glance at him secretly, it all brought a smile to his face.
It was like looking at some clown, no that's a bit bad and big word, it was like looking at some drama, like looking at that one guy who didn't smile with everyone else at a stand up show, but burst out laughing five seconds later when he understood the joke, yeah that's the feeling. Laughing at the left out fellow.
While he was analoging his thoughts about whom to compare this girl too, the girl at front turned around and called him..
"That.. Um.. Um.. I'm sorry." The girl said after much hesitation, she finally decided to apologize and solve any misunderstanding here and now.
She had just gotten approved for a transfer programme to work here and gain a little experience two days ago, she didn't want to create any problem or bad impression on this new place.
"What did you say?" Ali said as he turned his face sideways and placed his hand near his ear, like he couldn't hear her apology.
"I said, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have started blaming you without thinking." She said and Ali finally nodded his head in approval.
He was just about to say a few words of wisdom to this airhead girl, when she continued to her next words. "But you can't blame me right? I didn't see you here before, and then you come across me twice in one day like this. First you hit my scooty and then you hit me in the head. So I just thought that maybe….."
'She's a lost cause.'
