Chereads / Just A Hunch. / Chapter 2 - The meeting.

Chapter 2 - The meeting.

He was wearing a black shirt, blue jeans paired with white sneakers. He looked young hell he was young, under thirty, he was strolling towards his destination with a lit cigarette in his mouth.

She was still in bed sleeping soundly. The alarm clock rang, and she lazily opened her eyes it was seven and a half in the morning in an hour it would be time for work, She went down to the kitchen she could not help but notice her housekeeper madam Anna. She was different today did not know why but she was different she was humming and hopping around so elegantly.

Maria called her name and she was instantly stunned. Maria could not believe her eyes she was seeing some unique phenomenon for sure. Her housekeeper had turned to pink, she was so funny all pink that Maria almost laughs her panic away. The housekeeper could not help but notice Maria's reaction. Almost everyone in the white room noticed.

Madam Anna: what is wrong my dear?

Maria: Nothing nothing please continue your little dance.

Madam Anna: You saw .

She blushed and she became even pinker. Madam Anna loved her. She was one of the few people that Maria could trust. After, her parent's death she was the only one that stood next to her.

Maria was staring it was obvious she could not help it. She sat to the table where the breakfast was , eggs her favorite, but was not paying much attention to the food.

Instead, she was trying to figure out this strange phenomenon that pink seems to fade. The more she stared the more it faded until it disappeared. Weird she thought and started eating her breakfast. During this staring time, her housekeeper was occupied with the kitchen, she noticed nothing.

However, the white room was in a bit of chaos. Why was she staring that was a first for Maria which avoided any unnecessary contact up to know?

It took them many years to make her so unsocial so it was a big loss and a strange change of character.

The chief: Tell mister Black to avoid her she is not ready yet.

Random Psychologist A: Yes sir I believe the same.

She picks up the phone and calls mister Black. The phone rang five times before he picked it up a weird habit he had since he was a little boy.

Mr. Black: Hello who is it?

Random Psychologist A: It's me, sir. Helen.

Mr. Black: Ok What should I do for you?

Helen: We need to abort the operation sir she seems different.

Mr. Black: Different how?

Helen: Well we are not sure but she keeps staring at her housekeeper and not touching her food much.

Mr. Black: That is a first for that woman.

Helen: We think that today she might not actually decide to commit suicide so we think it is a bad day for us.

Mr. Black: I thought you were certain about the day you calculated it correctly today you said she feels the saddest.

Helen: I think we are wrong. I would like to share something with you I believe she is different like a totally different. She takes care of herself; she keeps wearing red lipstick and even though she avoids eye contact; she seems closer to people. Like she ... like she can see through them. I did not want to share it with chief but these are not signs of extreme depression.

Mr. Black: That is totally insane. You are wasting my time she is clearly hurt and desperate I will go as planned.

Helen: Sir please reconsider.

Mr. Black: A bit too late bye.

Maria was in the line of his sight. She noticed him instantly and she knew who it was the moment she laid her eyes towards him. He seemed so familiar maybe the blue aura like thing that surrounded him made him seem kinder than he was.

She was wearing a blue dress, her hair was lightly combed pure black falling on her shoulders. Her lips a fiery red. Maria was chubby but still impressive in the dress.

She passed right next to him she made a gesture trying to say something but she turned her head the other way.

She quickly got into a taxi to go to her job.

That was it he thought. Helen was right she does not seem depressed she seems different than before. Damn another lost day I will never get my money like this.

In the taxi...

Maria kept thinking in her blue dress which was a rather peculiar coincidence by the way. Him to have that blue like aura and her wearing blue. She kept thinking blushing and smiling at the same time it had been six years since the last time. At first, she was angry and then depressed but now she is so happy that he gets to see him. She failed to notice that Mr. Black was close to her house and that would not be the last time she sees him. She could not wait for the next time that is what she thought.

On the road...

He lit another cigarette and sighed a small drizzle started and he could not help but curse through his teeth about this unlucky day. Helen runs with her cute umbrella in her white robe to protect him from the rain that had suddenly picked up. She was totally in love with him she could not help it he knew the man he was yet he still fell for him., After all, she was a cruel woman herself birds of a feather.

At Maria's work ...

For the last three years, Maria worked in a small office outside of the main city a fifteen-minute drive with a taxi. She had the habit of taking one because she got tired waiting for the bus. She deserved a bit of luxury even though she was not extremely well off she was still doing the best she could. She worked as a designer she loved her job she had so much talent and she loved expressing it through the concepts that the job provided. The job was demanding yet she was proud of her work it was mainly the thing that kept her alive. That and the fact that she wanted to see him again which happened today. She was lost in thought all day she did not work a lot she promised herself that she will come early tomorrow and work the hardest she can. When she left the office it was four and a half in the afternoon and a shy sun had appeared in the sky.She could not help but hurry home she wanted to share her thoughts with her bot.

At Maria's house...

Maria was warmly tacked on her bed.

Maria: let's talk Bot.

The Bot: How are you feeling today.

Maria: Perfect.

The Bot: It's true based on your body's indicators.

Maria: Yes yes I feel perfect.

The Bot: Why are you so happy?

Maria: I finally saw him and he was blue as I guessed xaxaxa.

The Bot: Who? What do you mean blue humans are not colorful.

Maria: Oh my bot I think you are wrong humans are truly colorful and I will skip the name again.

The Bot: Ok ...Anything else?

Maria: No I am fine. I love you. Bye.

The Bot: I do not understand the sentiment.

Maria, I guess you do not.Xaxaxa.

The Bot: Your answer is unexpected.

Maria: Is because I am too happy.

The Bot: Ok Good Bye.

White room....

Mr. Black: What happened, sir?

He said that while putting down his microphone the one he has been talking to her through all these years.

Chief: I do not know I really wonder.
