'The next morning we were on a tour, to the City. Like Gateway of India, Juhu beach, Band. stand, Haji Ali, etc. Suddenly, Cristina said,
"So, what's her name?"
"Whose?!"
"That Air hostess."
" I dunno. By the way, who cares!"
"And with how many more you had sex and don't even know their name ?"
"I dunno. Maybe 30 or 40."
"You're such a dick!"
"Well, thanks for the compliment."
This how they got to Delhi, Karnataka, Hyderabad, Madras, Goa and Sundarbans! The land of Bengal tigers! Steve was really an asshole, as said by Cristina. The guide warned, not to go into the area, but Steve didn't listened him and went there. The guide didn't came along. They headed forward. Steve had a camera with him. A tiger was drinking water, by the side of a pond. It was young, biologically seen 2 to 3 years old maybe. They were at safe distance.
Steve,"Wow! Look at it, it's so fascinating! man! Just look at it." He clicked some pictures and then said," Lets take a closer look." and started heading forward with slow steps, but Cristina screamed out loud
"Are you out of your mind!?"
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
Which bothered the tiger's attention. It headed towards them, with a murmury roar.
Steve," stand still and whatever happens, don't run! got it? don't run!
"Got it! got it!"
But when tiger roared again, she screamed loudly and started running. As tiger was to chase Cristina, within no instance Steve got a piece of wood lying on the ground, ran towards the tiger and pierced it in it's neck. Tiger gave some hits to Steve with his claws before dying . Steve was bit bleeding. Cristina got unconscious. Steve headed toward her, got her in arms and just tried to get out of the area, as soon as possible! Suddenly his world tour got out of his mind. He started worrying about Cristina, got her to a local doctor and doctor replied," She's fine, had a shock. She'll be back in 6 or 7 hours." and then, Steve medicated himself. He cancelled everything and just headed for New York. When Cristina got conscious , she was in the plane. It was night, everyone was sleeping. Steve woke up and said,
"Hey, you're fine?"
"Yup! where are we upto?"
"To home."
"What about the world tour?"
"Now I don't want it. I guess, I found something more important than it to discover!" said with a care and charm in his eyes for Cristina.
"Okay, fine. But, hey! What are these bandages?!"
"Ah! This? That asshole scratched me a little."
"Omg! Are you okay?"
"Yeah. By the way, did you knew, that killing tiger there is a crime?"
"You killed it?!"
"Yeah, It was going to hurt you."
Just then a passenger interrupted and said ,"Hey you two! Just shut up! Let me sleep." then both Steve and Cristina got quiet, saw each other and fall asleep. After some hours, they were in NY. I felt Cristina, she was in my range now. They got out of the airport and took a cab. Meanwhile, when they were to the way to home , during the ride, Cristina asked,
"So, what to do next?"
"I dunno. Maybe go to café and have lattés."
"What about tour, you done enjoying?"
"Maybe, then let's do your work!"
"It cannot be done any day, and guess what! You have 3 weeks, enjoy your life!"
"Okay, the first place we go, is café." and just then, they got a bump from a speed breaker and Steve yelled in pain.
Cristina,"Oh, no! no! the first place we go, is hospital."'
