The temple that Anitya frequently visited with Siddharth, Sumit and Avani used to hold an annual charity event wherein the volunteers would give sweets and food to the needy who used to flock the temple during the event.
Anitya nervously approached the temple for the annual charity event. This was the first time she'd been at the temple since seeing Sumit in the club. She wasn't looking forward to seeing him, but she couldn't get out of it because she had volunteered to help months ago. What made it worst was Siddharth was away on another business trip. She looked at the event sign up sheet. Ugh! She'd been assigned to volunteer in the same counter as Sumit, and she knew Avani wasn't coming because she was visiting her parents again. She couldn't believe her bad luck.
She saw Sumit was in the counter already, distributing sweets. She walked around the table and stood next to him, trying to avoid eye contact. He apparently didn't feel the same awkwardness because he had a big smile on his face the entire time and kept trying to make eye contact. Finally after about 10 minutes he burst out laughing. She couldn't help herself, she punched him as hard as she could in the arm. "Shut up, you fool!"
"Ouch!" he said, but he didn't stop laughing.
When he looked like he was about to say something, Anitya growled, "JUST – DISTRIBUTE – SWEETS!"
This made Sumit laugh harder, and Anitya couldn't help a slight smile. But still she glared at him. "Just don't talk to me about it!"
"Okay, okay," he said rubbing his arm. "You pack quite a punch."
"I kick hard too!" she warned. But as he continued to grin, she smiled despite herself.
An hour (and three dozen sweets) later, Sumit pointed at Anitya's t-shirt. "Did you go to the Force fitness club?" She was wearing the gym t-shirt that she had joined last year.
"Yeah," Anitya sighed. "
"I know. I went there too, 12 years ago. I was even on the state cricket team at that time. So you like cricket?"
"I have three older brothers,all cricket fans" she said as an answer. She brushed a strand of her straight hair behind her ear, looking interested. "Who doesn’t like cricket, that’s the only sport that India follows” She giggled at the old joke. "You were on the cricket team? What was it like, tell me everything!"
"It sounds better than it is," he said in a charming modest way. "Mostly I used to be at the bench. I started playing a few games later, and even got drafted and played a season in the Ranji trophy. That didn't last, but I saved enough money to start my old business."
"What's that?"
"I opened a gym, Fitness Fanatic."
Anitya's eyes grew wide. "I know that place! I was thinking about joining it. I had learnt dance too, and I've wanted to start up again."
