The Life Of Normal-Taro

Chapter 125: Nonsensical

"Eww, what the hell did you do just now?" Taro shouted as he desperately tried to wipe the place where she kissed him to the point that it got red from all the wiping.

"Well, I wanted my gift!" She spoke with a sly smile on her face.

"You know I can charge sexual harassment for such a thing, right?" Taro asked.

"Hmm, I know. However, first point to note is that they'd simply laugh it off and second, I'm underage. So, no one cares." The sly smile on Abhirami's face turned into a full fledged evil smile.

"You are a demon!" Taro gasped.

"Maybe, I am." She chuckled.

Taro sighed. "I don't even know what to do with ya." He spoke.

"Good. I enjoy being unpredictable." She replied. "Hey look! There's my bus!" She pointed to a cyan colored bus speeding towards them. 

"Ah, see you tomorrow then!" He waved her goodbye.

"Yea." She was about to step up to the bus, however she turned back one last time. "By the way, now that your major priority is sorted out, you should seriously consider dating someone. You are twenty-eight for Pete's sake!" She advised.

"Relationships are not the only thing in someone's life. There's a lot to worry about and enjoy without even dating a person. So, I'm trying to enjoy those things for now. But, yea I'll think about what you said. Maybe, I'll date someone even. But that's in the distant future." Taro replied.

"Well, if that's the case, do consider my-" Before Abhirami could even complete her sentence, Taro interrupted her.

"No."

"But, I didn't-"

"Still a no! Never gonna date you in my life. Ever!" Taro's answer was straight to the point.

"Hmm, we'll see about that." She smiled and waved goodbye as she got onto the bus. The elegance she showed until then was all gone once she entered the bus. It was a battlefield to earn a centimeter of space to stand on her two feet.

Even though Abhirami exited the scene, Taro stuck around to see what the stalker lads did. He didn't even take a glance at them, but he could clearly feel an aura of hostility coming from where they were. 

It was clear as day that they were jealous of this unknown person "stealing" the kiss of the girl that they've been stalking for quite some time. However, Taro couldn't care less about something like that. It wasn't as if he was the perpetrator behind it!

Anyhow, after five minutes or so, he could see that the stalkers had moved away from the bus stop, which meant that they were only here to stalk Abhirami. Taro sighed. "Would they even consider stalking them if they knew about her actual behavior? Well, there are people who consider that as hot as well, so they just might." He thought as he walked back to the Holy Land, all exhausted.

Next day; the classes weren't as gloomy as before, however Taro could sense it. Abhirami was pulling out a 'please ask me what happened' look on her face. So, at that point, he had no choice but to actually do that.

Once the class ended, he called Abhirami out. "So, what happened?" He asked.

"Well, nothing much. They still haven't stopped their stalking tendencies." She replied. "But the mornings are kinda fine though, since everyone's making their way to school. Evenings are the problem." She spoke, giving out a few sighs to bring out the gravity of the situation.

"Then you shouldn't have said 'nothing much'. You want me to accompany you today as well, isn't that right?" He asked.

"Basically, yes." She didn't even hide her elation when she heard that.

"Ha, your face is acting out, you know? It's making me suspect you might have hired those stalkers, after all!" He said with a doubtful expression on his face.

"Why would you even say that?" She looked angry. "You really think I would do something like that?" She asked.

"Hmm, yes." He replied bluntly.

"Yea, maybe I'd do something like that." She didn't even deny the possibility this time around. "However, I assure you. This batch of stalkers isn't my creation. Maybe the next batch would be, but not this one." She replied.

"I see. I'll believe you on that then." He replied.

"So, you're coming with me, right?" Abhirami asked.

"Do I have any other choice?" Taro asked as he nodded his head 'yes'.

Evening, that day; they were at the bus stop. While Taro was desperately waiting for her bus to send her off, Abhirami was trying to create similar situations like yesterday.

"Yes, you are living your life normally now." She spoke out of nowhere.

"Huh?"

"I said, your life is normal now." She replied.

"That isn't gonna earn any brownie points anymore. I'm aware of that fact as well. So, change the topic." Taro answered.

"Ha And here I thought we would get yesterday back if I said that." Abhirami sighed.

"It was a totally random moment. It's not like it'll come by that frequently." Taro replied.

"You're right. Oh, there's my bus!" She pointed to the same blue bus as yesterday.

"Hey, can I say something?" Taro stopped Abhirami, who was preparing for a battle, and asked.

"Yea, anything." She replied.

"I don't think that I'd be able to accompany you every time these stalkers follow you." He spoke the truth.

"What am I supposed to do then? It's not like there's something I could do other than get you to accompany me." She replied.

"Hmm, that would be wrong. There are things you could do." Taro answered.

"Don't say something nonsensical as giving out a complaint to the police or something!" She spoke.

"Well, I won't understand why you think giving a complaint to the police is nonsensical, but what I'm suggesting is not that." He replied.

"Then?"

"How about you bring your phone? You got my number, right? If not, I'll give that to you in the game chat. This way, you can call me if you got into any sort of trouble." Taro suggested.

Abhirami sighed. "You're right. Giving a complaint to the police might not be nonsensical. But this sure is!" She blurted out.
