Enilese remained silent for some time . Then she asked , " How do you know that ? Is he your friend ..."
" I just hate him . " Shawn answered even before Enilese could finish . He continued , " And about how I know him , isn't that obvious ? We have same profession , which is marked as harmful by others . I think that's enough of a reason to keep a distance from him and as well as me . "
Enilese stared at him intently and said , " Then answer my one question . You keep saying that you are a bad person but why do you even bother to help me or warn me ? As far as I know , bad people don't think about others' welfare and moreover enjoys other people's misery . You should have left me with him up to my fate but you didn't . Isn't this contradictory ? "
" Look , I warned you because I knew you . I'm no saint to warn everyone , going to him . And I've warned you , now it's really upto you about what to do . "
He started walking away when Enilese started , " Hey , wait , I'm not done yet ...."
He wasn't stopping but he wasn't walking fast either , so Enilese grabbed his wrist from behind . She said , " Why are you always in a hurry , I'm not finished yet ."
He turned around , looked at her hand which was now holding his wrist and then stared at her without saying anything . Enilese quickly released his hand and said , " Shawn , let's have coffee together . "
****************
In the coffeeshop
Enilese was enjoying sweet strawberry muffins , on the other hand Shawn was having espresso without sugar . Enilese said , " These muffins are so delicious , you sure , you don't want any ? "
" No , I'm good ."
" You really don't know how to enjoy life . "
" For me , enjoying the life is a luxury . " , Enilese didn't say anything further .
"So what you wanted to talk about ? "
Enilese stopped eating , hearing Shawn's question . In reality , she didn't have anything important to talk about . She just wanted to spend some time with Shawn , so she made that excuse . Now that she recalls that excuse , she couldn't find any satisfactory reason of her action . ' I don't know what happened to me . He himself admitted to be someone who is harmful to others . As a protector of common people , shouldn't I hate people like him ? Shouldn't I take measures to prevent him ? And here I am , trying to be with him . Wow !
I can't say correctly how many times , in the past few days , I have wished to meet him again . His eyes are drawing me like magnets . I can't resist the charm of his eyes no matter what . I don't know , whether what I'm doing is right or wrong but I can't help it . And also ,we keep meeting unintentionally , that definitely means that the universe also wants us to be together . ' she couldn't help but smile a little thinking the last part .
" Are you done daydreaming ? "
Enilese looks up only to find Shawn staring at her .
