Chapter 11:

Semi- Final 2

M.A.D

Emerson sitting in the tournament hall talking with his friends.

Chad: Bro! Do you want something to eat? Did you get your lunch?

Emerson: No man I will eat in the canteen.

“By the way guys I think Semi-Final 1 will start soon so I’m going to eat lunch. Bye”…Says this and starts walking to the canteen from the back entries.

After reaching the canteen he saw there is only one table free.

Emerson: Luckily I got the seat. I will keep my bag there and order something.

And goes to order something for himself, leaving his bag behind on the chair.

Someone’s eyes fell on the empty chair…Those eyes are none other than Lina glass’s.

While Lina and Alex were going to Lina’s Car so that she can go home, Lina saw Emerson sitting in the canteen and the only vacant sit there is opposite him, At that moment she found her chance to be with him so she went to the canteen.

Lina: Alex I just want to eat in the canteen today so will send the car back home.

Alex: Yes Ma’am.

Lina: By the way did you do your complete the task which I gave?

Alex: Yeah…I got Emerson’s number from the management’s Office but I think you need to ask him directly, It's not good to stalk people like this.

Lina: First of all this is not stalking and I don’t want advice from you, cause he is mine. *Blushes*

Alex: I don’t think so…He is yours(With a mocking tone).

Lina: Sure (sarcastically)…Don’t forget to order and get food for me. Okay then bye.

Goes and sits in front of Emerson’s chair while Emerson is getting his food.

Lina gets her food and she starts eating…Emerson arrives with his food and just sits in his place.

And starts eating his food.

Lina: I think what Alex said is somewhat correct, If I take his number now I can text him…But If he doesn’t give that would be horrible…I can’t do anything without trying. so here goes nothing,

“Hey…Best of Luck for the semifinal.”

Emerson: Yeah…Thank you, Lina.

Lina: Wow…He knows my name…I’m so happy…Should I ask now or wait…It's fine I will talk and ask him in between conversations. So did you prepare for the match?

Emerson: No…I didn’t even see his games.

Lina: What? Are you serious…His game has the most book and best moves…His play is cleanest till now…I will call Alex and tell her to bring my laptop…in that all the info is present…

Emerson: It's fine…I just want to play over-the-board chess…It’s just so much fun.

*stares at each other for a few seconds*

Emerson: By the way thanks…for the concern…I didn’t think you were ever such a kind person.

Lina *Blushes*…It’s nothing I just want to lose the champion…So you better win.

They both talked for a while. Emerson packs his bags to leave

Lina: Emerson, is it fine if you could give me your number?

Emerson: Sure…It was nice talking to you. I think semi-final- 1’s over …So I need to go…I didn’t know how time passed. Take my number…

Lina: Yes! I did it…Now I don’t feel guilty about anything.

“I will cheer for you…For sure!” with a cheerful smile on her face.

Both of them get into the tournament hall.

Alex rose hiding behind the tree: YEahhhhh!! Even she found one!!! So now it will be My man vs your man huh Lina?

Cris(Dressed as cros), Calyden, Divya, Sohel, Joey, Meera, and chad Sitting and talking about semi-final 1 Which finished just now...Lina glass comes and sits beside them when Chad gets up to sell burgers and cold drinks.

Emerson walking into the stadium to the ring thinks to himself…

Emerson: This semifinal is going to be really tough I guess…Hope my parents are here. This stadium is just beautiful, Those roses and rose petals on the pathway…Every round even if cleaners clean it…These roses on the pathway after every round ...I think that’s the beauty of this tournament. I’m super excited.

Emerson gets into the ring.

Arbiter: Welcome to the ring.

A boy comes walking into the stadium…Wearing a t-shirt, hoodie, and sneakers.

Emerson: Wait he is Scar meddler my opponent…I was excepting some rude guy but he looks a bit younger than me…Is he my under classmate?

“Ohhhhhhhhhhh!” he exclaimed

A group of 50 people all wearing green t-shirts with drums, Trumpets and flutes came behind him.

“Wow…His aura just fills the room, He stands true for his name.”

While climbing the stairs into the ring…Scar meddler(aka The most accurate man) slips and falls.

Audience: “TAKE CLASSES HOW TO WALK FROM ME KID…It's not the first time you fell…HAHAHA”

Emerson: sushhhhh….I think I will take my words back.

So he is the most accurate Huh!

Both stand in front of each other…
