The Vanishing Choice: Frolic of Survival

Distance

Cyrus: (in anger) Am I looking for a joke to you?

Elisa: I'm extremely sorry sir (very silently). Please sir, don't say like that.

Cyrus: Then tell me why did you do that? (Still angry)

Elisa: Actually sir, (after a pause) I... I don't know.

Cyrus: I'm tell you one thing. And that is just stay away from me. I know which kind of girl are you.

[Cyrus left the room by saying it.]

[In Cyrus's bedroom.]

[Cyrus can't control his laughter anymore.]

Cyrus: (to himself) Just a little baby girl. I'm so sorry for annoying you like this. But.... What can I do? You're annoying more than me.

[Cyrus lay down on the bed.]

Cyrus: (to himself) But Mr. Professor you've to apologize to her tomorrow. Otherwise she wouldn't kiss you anymore.

[He smiled and closed his eyes and also pulled the blanket because of the cold.]

[In the morning.]

[Cyrus made breakfast for her. He toasted some bread and with the help of jam he drew a smiley face. There are scrambled eggs also.]

[Then he went upstairs with the plate and knocked at her door.]

[Knock. Knock.]

[Knock. Knockkk....]

[When there was no response, Cyrus pushed the door lightly and entered the room.]

[He saw Elisa sleeping on the floor and shivering in the cold. It was looking like she was crying the whole night and fell asleep unconsciously.]

[Cyrus felt extremely guilty. He put the plate on the table, took the blanket and sat down on the floor. He covered her with that blanket. He slowly parted her hair from her forehead.]

Cyrus: (very calmly) Elisaaa..(slowly jerking her) Come on get up.

Elisa: (closing eyes) Mmmm.....

Cyrus: A very good morning to you.

Elisa: (still closing eyes) Mmmm.....

Cyrus: A very good morning to you my insane girl.

[Listening to this Elisa opened her eyes and jumped to get up.]

Elisa: Sir!!!

[Elisa became a little teary and a drop of tear rolled on her cheek.]

Elisa: Sir. Sir. I'm extremely sorry for my insane behaviour. (Very quickly)

Cyrus: Just li......

Elisa: As I promised you. I can't kept my promise. (Again very quickly)

Cyrus: Eli....

Elisa: No Elisa. Nothing Elisa. I've promised myself to focus only on study. (Still very quickly)

[Suddenly Cyrus kept his index finger on her lips and she just stopped.]

Cyrus: Shhhhhh.... (Very calmly) Now I'll speak and you've to listen to my words.

[She nodded her head lightly.]

Cyrus: Elisa... Whatever I told you yesterday, I'm very sorry for that. Actually I don't know. I think I've done it intentionally. And I want to state that....

[He looked at her.]

Cyrus: That... I think you should go to fresh and have some breakfast.

Elisa: Ok sir.

Cyrus: I put your breakfast there (pointing towards the plate).

[After she went to the bathroom.]

Cyrus: (to himself) Uhhhhhh... Cyrus.. Cyrus. Cyrus. Why can't you confess to her? It was just 3 words. (Holding head) You're just dumb Cyrus. You're just dumb.

[For 2 days Elisa became very serious about her behaviour. She didn't talk much with him except study and college.]
