Chapter 8 - Odd Fountain

"Let's start off our day with exercise." She cheered up in a low and dull voice. Aza didn't prefer exercising. She had the best metabolic system, it was very helpful to her since she loved eating and munching on snacks.

She set the timer for 10 mins and she did more than 10 laps of the park.

The park covered an area of 30 acres in square feet.

She couldn't have survived for 1 lap if she wasn't used to running since her childhood. This made her body suitable for running and sprint races. Although she never participated in any race.

After completing her 10 laps along the track. She began to do some stretching. After 5 mins, she started sprinting. When she was done with her exercises for today, she turned and moved towards her home. Just as she walked for 5 mins, she bumped into a guy.

She was checking the number of steps she had walked till now when her head bumped into a guy and her wristwatch fell out of her hands.

Even before she could lecture him if he was walking with his eyes on the backside of his head that he couldn't see her coming.

She heard a low raspy voice, "Sorry" in her ears.

It felt similar to the rushing of the wind, it came just as fast as it went. She didn't have the time to register anything and stood there.

'Did you listen to his voice? It was so deep and low. It gave me goosebumps. Every hair on my body is standing up straight now. Even my head hair.' The angel on her right shoulder murmured. With her dreamy eyes, she adored the guy who made her feel crazy.

'I wanted to kiss that guy and find out how his moans sounded? I am sure he would produce a sexy voice. I want to do evil and funny things to that guy. Yummy...' The devil with her lusty and evil gazed at the man's back. Her devil's gaze was so strong that even the guy felt shivers. As if something was going to happen to him.

'What's this strange feeling? Is someone staring at me? How could that be possible? I hid my face and I look like a thief… but it's not that stare of doubting someone. It feels an odd kind of staring…like a hungry wolf looking at its prey.' He rubbed his forearms and turned around to check yet he found nothing out of place and walked faster, more like sprinted.

When Aza saw the guy turning back, she quickly swirled her head towards the tree.

For others, it would seem like she loved nature and appreciated it. However, only she knew how fast her heart was beating. Her cheeks and neck turned red and warm.

She pulled the zipper until her chin, "If I didn't wear this jacket then it would have been my last day on earth. As I couldn't survive being labelled as a pervert girl sneakily checking out a hot and handsome guy'."

It would have been a huge embarrassment for her if that guy caught her checking out his back view.

'No, no, no… I wasn't checking out. I was looking at the fountain further ahead of him.

Yes. I was staring at the fountain rather than his sexy back.'

She hit her head.

"Aza, let's go back before you lose the last bit of innocence."

She walked in the opposite direction to the guy.

Only if she didn't focus on her brain instead of her racing heart, then she would have noticed the sudden and peculiar actions she was doing.

Too bad that her friends weren't there to see that their ice-cold looking friend around guys could turn into this nervous girl. It would take a lot of time and patience for her to realise the true meaning of love at first sight but in her case, it was love at the first voice.

The guy sprinted until he reached in front of the fountain, the heart of this park.

"Irony."

He said the word, 'Irony' to symbolise the meaning behind the name given by the architect and by the people who came to this park.

The real name given to the Fountain was 'Broken Heart Beyond Repair' while the people referred to this as the heart of the park.

He kept gazing at it.

'It seems I have seen this before too…. It is the same replica of my nightmare but how?'

He didn't know how it could be possible for someone who died at the age of 50 to have successfully designed this fountain which was said to reference in books that dated back to more than 100 BC years, ages if not. 

It was an odd Fountain. The architect of that Fountain really had a particular idea in his mind when he made this masterpiece.

It was an intricate imitation of a mountain cliff. At the top of the mountain, the cliff was the main starting point of the water flow.

There was a little statue of a guy, who had his knees touching to the ground with his head looking down the cliff.

Next was the circular round disk tier. Its border had a small tree surrounding the whole boundary. It gave off the feeling of a jungle. It had another small disk-like tier attached to the rough mountain. On it was a girl, she was lying below the fallen tree branches.

This disk was the other water flowing point.

The third and the last tier had some quotes engraved on the inside side of the tiers. They couldn't click any pictures of the fountain as it has been prohibited.

The name of the architect appeared to be inscribed around the circular base of the fountain.

This Fountain has been declared as a special monument by the famous world organisation PTE, Preserve The Earth and Environment.
