The Life Of Normal-Taro

Chapter 127: Danger



Chapter 127: Danger

Taro was frustrated; a bit angry as well, however, he was more frustrated than angry. Abhirami's actions were clearly taking a toll on him, to the point that he regretted offering his help. Now that she's allowed to carry a phone, he didn't have to accompany her, which gave him that much needed peace of mind.

Even though he basically ran towards the Holy Land ditching all of them, he tried monitoring them through the window of their room. However, their room doesn't give him the view that he needed, therefore he headed towards the roof and hid there. 

There he saw Abhirami headed straight towards the bus stop, spending no time lurking around the Holy Land for the first time in many days. Since the others were coming, he got down from the roof and headed back to the room.

Anyhow, now that he didn't have to accompany Abhirami to Mundur, he had some spare time. Therefore, he played some online PVP matches in his favorite gacha game. He deemed it in the top priority list since it was a rankings match. If he drops out or loses a game, he would lose a point. While it might not seem like an enormous difference, considering that there were about thirty players with the same point as his, he would go down thirty spots in the rankings if he were to lose.

So, he was serious about it. So serious that he was treating it as the fight of his life as he slowly pressed on the start match button. And that's precisely why he got so annoyed when he saw Abhirami was calling him.

Initially he thought of not taking her call because of what she did, however he was the one who offered to help her and asked her to use the phone instead. So, he couldn't just cast a blind eye over this. Hence, with a heavy heart, he disconnected the match and took the call.

"Hello." He spoke, but no response came from the other side. This made him incredibly furious. "Okay, this is just a shit act from you. I mean, you're trying to screw me over for the second time. I knew I shouldn't have taken this call! I don't know what I was hoping from you other than this-" He was about to go on a full on rant, but a faint voice came from the other side which made him stop in his tracks.

"Help me."

"What the! Hey, what's happening? Abhirami, is everything fine?" Taro, who was in a slight panic mode at that moment, asked.

(Huff) "Those guys, theythey are chasing me." Abhirami replied. One could hear her panting extensively, which made it seem like she ran a long way or she wasn't athletic at all.

"They, as in those stalkers? Look, you gotta talk to me right now. Where are you? Tell me exactly where you are." Taro ordered. 

"II am on that path behind the bus stop. Likelike straight behind it. It's a long straight path; so if you are to head here, you'll find me." Abhirami replied.

"Is that so? Just keep running for a few more seconds. I'll make my way there." Taro assured as the call was cancelled from the other side. 

Even though Taro said that, he didn't know how to ride any sort of vehicle. So, it looked impossible for him to reach Mundur in such a short time. A normal human could never do such a thing; emphasis on the normal human part.

Abhirami was exhausted. She tried her best to keep up the pace while speaking to Taro, but soon realized that it was making her slow. Therefore, she hung up the phone and focused on runningor at least that's what she planned until one of her stalkers pulled her by the string of her bag, causing her to fall down.

Even though that happened, she didn't just give up there. She tried getting up, but that one man still had the string of her bag. So, she ditched the bag and tried running for her life, however failed doing so as one of the guys pinned her down.

"Why are you doing this?" Abhirami asked as she raised her slightly before getting slammed by the one who was pinning her body down.

"Why, you ask? Because you cheated on us with that guy! Is he your new boyfriend or something?" The man asked.

"Cheated you? I don't even know you, then how is it possible that I cheated on you?" Abhirami asked as she struggled on the ground before getting pinned by the other men as well.

"You bitch! You knew it all along while we were following you to your school and stuff. You were sending signals to us back then. How dare you act like you know nothing now?" One of the stalkers asked.

"Signals? I don't know what you're saying. I never gave you any-" Before she could say another word, stalker number one slapped her face.

"You glanced at us all seductively! You're the one who did that! And now you deny it, you fucking wh*re? Do you do this with all the guys? Send him all sorts of signals and kiss some other random dude before him! Shame on you!" Stalker one roared.

"But, I never did such a thing!" Tears welled up in her eyes. She was afraid and hurt. She was being accused for the things she never did. She didn't know what to do at this point. She didn't get it. Why were they acting like this? What's up with this unrealistic scenario? How did she end up here? She didn't understand one bit.

"Ha Still feigning innocence, are you now? Very well, do what you want. But that doesn't clear you off your sins. You'll be punished today for all the evil things you did!" Stalker one shouted.

"By the way, where's that new boyfriend of yours? Did you ditch him as well, like you always do? Ah, man! Had I known about it, I would've invited him as well. We could've punished you together!" Stalker two laughed as if he said something hysterical.

"Hmm, were you talking about me?" A voice called them out from the back. It was Taro.
