TAKE 2 - The Fast Track Lane

At - The Thorpe Park

At - The Thorpe Park

11:30 AM

Khushi's POV

Now that I'v finally reached my Destination for the Day, which is the Thorpe Park(an amusement park located in the village of Thorpe between the towns of Chertsey and Staines upon- Thames in Surrey, which is located at a distance off about 18 miles away from Home) - I can't help but feel a little bit more at ease already and smile to myself as I pace up in my strides towards the - Ticket Counter.

Now just in case if you are all wondering why I'v chosen this very spot for the day - I shall give you a brief context.

Call me crazy - but this is just my thing. This is the way - I like to vent out all my hidden angst without bothering/weighing down anyone else in the process. Every-time I feel weighed down and want to take some exclusive Me -Time to vent it out - I just come here. Preferably on a WeekDay(because it's going to be less crowded) - and all Alone.

It's my go to - place.

For other's this maybe like any other amusement park - but for me - it's my safe haven - where I can just scream my Lungs Out.(A reason why in my head - I'v kind of shifted the syllables in its name and I sometimes do refer to it as My Self Therapy Park - too).

Now - wait.

Before you all start thinking - that I am the crazy weirdo who starts acting like a Screaming Machine the minute I step into the Park - I shall tell you - that - No - that is not what I do. I wait for that bit off it to begin - until I sit on the Rides obviously. As in - I sit on rides/rollercoasters - and then switch on the button to my screaming my angst out machine - and it works perfectly for me without adding to any backend worry!

As in - I do not have to worry about anyone wondering as to why I am screaming the way I am for two reasons obviously. First - because well mostly everyone around me on the ride is doing the same thing. Second - no one can actually even suspect the fact that whilst they are screaming out of fun and thrill - I am the crazy weirdo sitting next to them screaming my bottled up heavy Angst Out! And all of the above just works as the Perfect Cover.

So a couple of points to be Noted - First - I think Mum + all of my closest friends obviously know that I love coming to the Thorpe Park and even though I think at the back of their head they are aware that I come here for self-coping mechanism - I do like to also add in the element in front of them - that I love to come here because I am such a passionate freak for elements of Animation - which is also the Truth anyway.

I mean - guys- I am sure you all agree that Amusements park are just a great example of so many elements of Animation coming to Life as in - in the terms of the themes/designs/graphics/ambience etc. So mostly - after I am done with the share of my screaming bit - and start feeling a lot better - I just stroll around on leisure observing and perceiving the smaller - different elements of Animation in place! I love to stroll around the family/kids rides areas too - for it's also little part of my professional dream to be able to conceptualise a SuperHit Animated/Cartoon Show for Kids(hopefully as successful as Peppa Pig etc )- apart from all the Gaming Graphics/Animation that I aim to bring to Life.

Hmm.

Also - I was here just about twelve weeks and eight weeks ago too.Twelve weeks ago - I did spot up an article online(in my usual google search spree on Dad) on a portal of a Pakistan Media online handle about Dad's wife's passing! The one whom Dad was married too after his break up with Mum for 25 Years! The article said that she passed battling Cancer - and at the time when I spotted the pic of Dad and my half-brother in mourning - all I wanted to do was just take it up to Mum and tell her about it.

Why?

I really don't know.(Maybe because a part of my heart that aches for her - wanted to suggest her to just get in touch with Dad to offer condolences about the same with the hope that it could maybe eventually lead to some development of a form of communication in between of them again - perhaps?)

But I did not act on it obviously - as in nor did I show Mum the article nor did I ask her if she was aware about the same - because I fear hurting her in anyway with the same obviously. I also feared that what if she thought that its super insensitive and selfish of me to even suggest the same to her? Plus I don't really know if my thought was insensitive/selfish or something - it was just a natural thought. Just like every normal human - I do have some crazily irrational thoughts obviously which I don't necessarily end up acting on. So in that moment twelve weeks ago - I just came here instead - and Vented all of my conflicted thoughts out in the form of - Screams. And eight weeks ago - because - I definitely just had to come here and scream my baggages off initial shock + shades of deep hurt over Rob dumping me in the ways he did.

Also yes - I think most of you have already guessed that when I usually come here - the major portion of the Angst Venting has everything to do with the emotional situation with Mum and Me with regards to Dad but this time around I also aim to scream my lungs out in order to try to vent out some more parts of the leftover hurt with regards to Rob. Its because of the crazy screaming my lungs out previously that I was able to process and comes to terms with the initial shock of it all.

Also - before you all think - that I am a crazy adventurer junkie - I need to mention - that - No - I most surely am not. I do not sit on the craziest scariest roller coasters! I do not have the Guts to do that. So instead I sit - on all the Medium thrill rides and just pretend in my head that I were sitting on the most scariest ones - in terms of the intensity of my Screams. That's all.

Ok.

Hold Up Guys.

Gotta pause on the Inner Rant because I am just seconds away from the Fast Track Pass Ticket Counter( it's the one I always get for it allows me to cover all the Medium thrill rides in the day for there's a different lane alloted just for that! And if you are a single rider it's even more convenient and quick.) I am glad that the counter seems to have No Que and I can easily spot the attendant with his head dipped into his phone and scrolling.(He's probably just chilling on Instagram)And to be honest- if I were in his place I'd probably just be chilling on The Gram too!

Just as I am about to the step in front of the counter - I notice a man come stand in - right next to me(outta the blue as if he literally popped outta thin air from behind me making a move upfront faster than me by a second) but we both end up saying out loud at the same time- "A fast track pass for the day..please...."

The attende behind the counter looks up instantly and he keeps his phone aside and says with a smile - " sure...which one of you was first??"

Ok.
Just because I'v come here to vent out my angst - I a'int going to forget to be Polite. This weirdly dressed man is surely the one who reached up the counter a second faster than me.I called him weirdly dressed - because he's got his face masked up plus he has a Cap on. The attende can probably just see his eyes- which is why I can totally notice the attende scanning him(the man) skeptically too. Anyways it's not my business - to think why someone's dressed in a weird MaskCap Version.

I take a slight step back courteously as I say - "technically he was here a second prior - you should process his transaction first..,"and I gesture the man to step forward and to my surprise he adds in next gesturing me to step forward first turning to look at me sideways and answers politely with a casual shrug- " well technically - I just managed to pace pass you but you go in first.."

Yup.

I was right.

One can only see his Eyes. To his credit - he's got a Striking pair off Chocolate brown earthy eyes.

I ask(trying to be polite and not try to give my sceptical assumption over his get up away) - " are you sure?? I am in no rush - I'v got all day here..a delay of a minute won't harm.."

His eyes dance with amusement as I feel his gaze scan my face for a second and he answers politely next mirroring my words back to me - " exactly my point too - I am in no rush - I'v got all day here too..a delay of a minute won't harm.."

The attende looks to and fro in between of us and he asks - "have you decided which one of you is coming up first??"

The MaskCap Dude (because I have no idea what else to call him) gestures me to go upfront politely again as he says casually - " come on - go up then already..it's just the two of us anyway..."

I nod at him politely as I answer - " thank you so much..,"and I get on with purchasing my Fast Track Pass for the Day.

He's got a deep voice actually. I don't know if it's his original tone or it's a voice/tone affect because of the Crazy Mask up his face.Also strangely enough - all my scepticism around his get up seems to convert into an amusement of some sort.I kinda feel like biting back on my mirth because it would be totally rude to take digs in any way whatsoever at a Stranger's get Up.

Once my transaction is complete and the attende hands my fast track pass + band and I turn sideways to let the Man come forward - and to my surprise I hear him add with a chuckle as he wedges his elbow on the counter casually and turns sideways to look at me - " you can laugh if you want you know - there is no need to bite back on your mirth..I know I look weird and you surely must think I am crazy for masking my face this way for a day out at an amusement park..."

Whoa.

How did he just read through the hidden shades of my Mirth like that? Was it that obvious in my body language?

Nah.

I don't think so.

I was totally trying to be indifferent and polite.

Didn't Work. Clearly.But he didn't sound like he'd take offense to my assumption which is why strangely enough I do end up breaking into a smile as he leans forward to go about purchasing his fast track pass and I answer - " okay...so...just for the record ...I wasn't the one to say it first..you said it..as in you graciously acknowledged that you do look crazyily weird..."

He expresses a little more than a chuckle effortlessly and he looks sideways towards me and he shrugs in a casual mischevious way - " I know right...so go on - you can laugh a little if you want - and I shall take no offense whatsoever - I hear they say that it's good to begin your day with a little laugh at the ticket counter of an amusement park..."

I can't help but chuckle at that as I answer - " really..do they really say that now??"

He nods and his eyes continue to glint mischeviously - " oh yes...totally..they do...and wait...just checking..I hope you haven't coined me as a freak in your head because of my get up though..or have you??"

My eyes widen a little at that as I answer politely - " no..no..no..I haven't ...why would I do that..that would be totally rude...and uncalled for...plus...I am sure you have your reasons.."

He nods and I feel his amused gaze scan my face again - " oh yes I totally do and that is this season of the common flu in your country. I have an important work assignment starting in a couple of days and I do not want to catch the common cold..."

Well - he is right about that.It is the Flu Season.

I nod - " yes..I know what you mean which is why most of us get the flu shot regularly. But given that you said - your country - I reckon you are a tourist perhaps?"

He nods and offers his cash up for the transaction to the attende behind the counter - " yup...you could say that..I am tourist..I'm here for work for a while..."

I nod and give him a polite smile - " alrighty..anyways...I'll get going now...thanks for letting me go first...you have a good day..."

He nods and even though I can't see his face I can totally sense he's smiled back given the ways his eyes twitched as he answers - " no worries at all...you too...have a good day..."

And I walk away - making my way in adjusting my backpack on my shoulders with an amused smile marking my lips.

Seven Minutes Later

Arnav's POV

I am sure you'v all labelled me pretty crazy in the Head by now given that you now have a guess on the crazy fun ways - I like to vent my anxiety out.

But - that's just how I roll. It's just my thing.I like to sit on rollercoasters and yell the hell of my gaming anxiety out. To be Honest - I do this everytime it's possible for me to do this - as in if we are touring a country and I am in the middle of experiencing some gaming anxiety prior to games - I just google my way to the nearest theme park (if there is one in the vicinity that could be visited as per a Day Out )- get myself under disguise - and have a Day off Me-Time Out.(If I don't find a theme park around - then I just head to a Gaming Arcade- instead and play a lot of 3D shooting games and in my head - I just pretend that I am just shooting all of my anxiety away.)

But it's so much more Funner to tackle my anxiety this way in the Theme Park. It's not a traditional way but hey - Who says - self therapy/me time - has to always just be traditional? As long as it works - it can be as outta the box for anyone as in to each their own. But to be honest - I really haven't come across anyone else on this planet - who uses this as a coping mechanism yet. Akash (my twin) likes to crack a joke on this though - he say's - - the day I meet someone who has as crazy as this - a coping mechanism as me - the Sun shall rise from the West then.

So.

Anyway.

I just have this Insane love for Amusement Park/RollerCoasters/Rides/WaterSlides - ever since I was a Kid.(Apparently that has not changed - nor is it going too. But yup the only thing that's changed ever since I have started playing professionally for India is the bit - where in - I only sit on the Medium thrill Rides - because it's my contract to not indulge in any crazy thrill that could result in an sort of a sudden jerk/back injury or something.And I am just very careful about that myself too - so I just sit on the Rollercoasters and rides that do not put me on the risk of any Injury.)

Hmm.

On that note - now that I have strolled my way in - into the Entrance of Thorpe Park, I think I need to get my hand on a Map of the place and chalk out the Rides that are going to safe for me to indulge in(Since it's my first time coming to the Thorpe Park. I'v been to a couple of other theme parks around the UK this way though in the years gone by.)

I spot a Huge Smart Information Screen - a little upfront with some Maps Stocked up in a wedge underneath and I begin to walk up there.(Dude - as much as I love technology I kind of have to admit that on moments like these - I'd fancy the good old concierge service at the information desk with an actual person behind the desk to talk too and seek help)

Oh Wait.

Guys.

My Wish has been answered.

Because as I near this Smart Self Help Screen - amidst the little groups of some people crossing across - I spot Her standing right there - fidgeting with the Screen with her head dipped into an Open Map in front of her Face.

Her - who?

The pretty mysterious girl - who I bumped into at the Fast-Track Ticket Counter. I referred to her as that because for starters - hell yeah - she's really pretty - as in there's just something so magnetic about her Face. Second - she's got a set of mysterious eyes for sure you know like the ones that have so much depth and kind off want to give away much more but she won't let it.

How did I jump to the latter conclusion in my head? Because I obviously spotted her first - walking upto the ticket counter from the side across from where I was walking towards it and she was legit lost in such a deep thought on her way to the counter - that one could easily say that she was all caught up in her very own bubble.(Which is why she probably didn't even spot me walking up from across and probably thought that I appeared outta the blue from behind her. On that note - I kinda did race pass her by a second from behind for Fun Reasons. As In you know how were both heading to the same place at the same pace and I just wanted to see if I could beat her to that first spot. I technically did but I did let her have her way first nonetheless because - hey even though I am competitive - I am the polite+friendly+courteous gentleman. Also - by the time we actually got into a little conversation - she was in such a casual amused mode - which kind of made me wonder - was it the same her - who was lost in her deep in thought bubble just a second ago- and all of that just added to the elements of a little mystery in my head.

Anyway - I am glad that our chatter made her smile a little though. She has a nice smile. The one that radiates and shines over. After she walked away ,I did wonder why she wasn't her smiling self - during that walk to the counter prior though?

Hmm.

Raizada.

You can wonder more on that later - as of now you need to step up and probably ask her for Help.

I walk up to her from behind now and I fold my hands across my chest taking my spot right next to her and I say looking at her sideways - " hello...we meet again...so maybe it's okay for me to say this out in front off you...say what if you must wonder? Wait.. I'll just go ahead and say it - I mean no offense to technology...but why don't they have the traditional help desk-s with actual people behind the counter anymore. As much I love the evolution of technology but sometimes nothing can beat the charm of a good old human touch - right? I mean that is just my humble opinion. What would your's be on the same context??"

She looks up at me sideways instantly and her lips curve into a little smile - " hey...you...so yup...we meet again...,"and she nods and continues -" and well... since you asked for my opinion on the latter...I must admit that I kind off agree with you on that.As interactive as these smart screens are - a human touch in the case of help supercedes in element...obviously..."

I chuckle - "I know right...so this is exactly where I say - great minds think alike.."

She chuckles at that and folds the map in her hand and turns sideways in her spot to look at me straighter - "I think I'd say a thanks to the latter for sure I mean I do like to presume that I'v gota a great mind.."

I nod with a playful wink - " so do I..."

She chuckles - "so...anyway... I reckon you need some help? Given that you were looking for a human help-desk??"

I nod - " yup since this is my first time here - I need a little help- with figuring out as to how can I go about covering up this entire place before its closing time at 5pm. I mean I do have the fast track - plus am a single rider too so that's sorted but I just need to figure out the spots of all the medium scale thrill rides...as in you know the most convenient way through which I can cover all of those for sure..."

She shoots me an amused look mixed with shades of puzzlement - "wait..what? are you saying that you just wana sit on all the medium scale thrill rides too??"

The Amused Puzzled look - makes her eyes Twinkle with crazy shades of puzzlement for a bit before she pulls the Mysterious-Let's not-let my-eyes-give-away-too-much-curtain - on them again.

I pick on the context of her 'too' immediately nonetheless and I ask - " wait...what? is that what you are going to do too??just sit on the medium scale thrill rides??"

She nods totally amused with her casual cover up on her eyes - " yup...as strange a co-incidence this is...that's exactly what I do when I come here..so yup...I could totally help you with figuring out the way to do just that...,"and she steps up a little front in front of the screen and starts working it up to explain the context of the different themed areas of the park and as to how I could get the best of my day here and I listen on keenly absorbing everything that she is telling me with a concentrated nod and five- seven minutes later once she is done guiding me with her help - I say on reflex - " okay - so seems like you know this place by the back of your hand...you come here often I presume??"

She nods at me politely and shrugs casually - " yeah you could say that - I come here quite often..in fact I remember the directions around to everything clearly..was just checking up on something else within my map and reconfirming it with the screen...so yeah..and..wait...I think there's something else that might help you more..you know just in case...,"and she hands me the map that she had in her hand and she states politely - " go on..take my map...it's my old regular map of the entire park that I keep handy in my backpack when I come here - but I don't really need it - you can use it - infact I'v kind off circled all the medium scale thrill rides in there + some of my go to eateries around with my pen too..."

Okay.

This is really very kind and helpful of her - Indeed.

I ask again before taking the map from her hand - " are you sure that you don't need it??"

She nods instantly - " yup...I don't...don't worry about it...I can totally just stock myself up with another regular map with markings later on...it's your first time here - not mine - this shall be of more help to you for sure..."

I nod and I take it from her hand and I say - " thanks a ton - you do know that this is superkind and cool of you - don't you? I mean - no one has the time to pause and help usually and let alone help someone who is probably coming across as a freaky dude anyway.."

She chuckles at that as she says - " once again - I didn't say that.you did...and you are welcome..."

I nod - grinning. She can't see my grin though because its covered by the mask but I am sure my eyes give me away and she's caught on to the fact that I am smiling.

We turn around and begin to walk away from the smart screen and I open up the map in my hand and I begin to study it and I ask - " so if you don't mind me asking - are you going the same route off the rides as I am??"

She answers by pointing her index finger over the map in my hand as we continue walking - " nope...I am kind of going the other way round the park actually - for some of my favourite rides begin from the other end..."

I nod instantly - "alrighty...,"and I pause as we come closer around this huge rollercoaster and we can totally hear the crazy screams of everyone up riding it and I grin as I look up towards the rollercoaster on reflex as I admit looking at her sideways(and I end up soaking up the image of her grinning looking up at the rollercoaster too.She's got a beautiful grin) - " know what? I'd just love to sit on that and experience it - but I can't given that my job doesn't allow me to risk any sort of thrill that could give me a jerk/back injury..."

She looks at me sideways and admits grinning casually - " really? too bad for you given that you actually want to sit on it. I mean at times I think I do want to be able to sit on that one - its literally one of the craziest thrill ride in all of UK - but no - I don't have the guts to do that...so yeah.."

"The reason maybe different but looks like we both just gotta stick to the medium scale thrills for now..," I add with a polite sincere nod and she smiles in acknowledgement of the same and I continue after - " hey...look...I'd like to thank you once again for your help - I mean all thanks to you - now I can straight jump into yelling and venting all my work anxiety out in the form of crazy screams on the rides without any further delay..."

The minute I say that her eyes widen into the size of cup and saucers in surprise and I nod in acknowledgement as I say - " I know..I know..might sound crazy...but it literally works as the perfect cover to vent out what's weighing me down - no one even suspects what I am upto - which just makes it all the more fun for a coping mechanism...,"I finish with a playful pause and I notice that her eyes continue to widen a lot more added with a lot more shock to it too and I ask - "okay - now you are surely in the middle of labelling me as a freak ....aren't you??"

She shakes her head in an instant - No - and once again pulls that Mystery Curtain over her eyes and she says her lips now curving into a puzzled smile - " no....no ..no...really...I wasn't in the middle of doing that at all...I was just surprised and shocked at hearing you say what you did...because...I'v never met anyone - who does the same...I mean I'v spent years thinking to myself - that maybe I am the only crazy one who goes about screaming on medium thrill rollercoaster and rides - as a way of a coping mechanism...so yup...as strange as this coincidence gets...I kind of understand what you mean..."

I gape at her in surprise - " wait...what...really?you do the same? Which is why you understand??"

She nods sincerely.

Dude - Guys - This is Amazing in the sense if I were to quote Akash's words in my head. The Sun has risen from the West.Today. I have finally met someone - who understands where I am coming from with regards to my crazy ways of venting out - and is not cracking a joke over it - after.

I admit - "okay seriously - I could totally say the same that here I'v thought the same for years - that I am the only crazy one who does this..."

She chuckles - " clearly not...now you can most surely note that you aren't the only crazy one...for sure.."

I nod - "and the knowledge of the same makes me feel good..already..for sure..."

We end up sharing a warm comfortable chuckle and I spot her fidgeting with the strings of her backpack on her shoulders - (Which kind of give me a signal that she's probably wanting to head on her way soon) - and I don't know why all of a sudden I feel like I wana make her stay for just a little while more so I ask next - instantly - before she can say something - " so...I'm totally going to be yelling some anxiety related to my work out - if you don't mind me asking - what is that you are wanting to vent out?"

She answers with a casual shrug - "no I don't mind you asking...and let's just say - I'll just be working out on venting out some stuff that's been on the back of my mind since morning...,"she finishes with a tinge of angst clouding up her eyes for a second which she masks instantly and begins to fidget with her backpack strings by lookin gup at the Huge Rollercoaster - again.

Hmmm.

Some Stuff.

A Gut intuition tells me this - Some Stuff - is why she was all lost deep in thought prior while walking to the ticket counter.Also. The Ambigious way in which she used the word - Some Stuff - surely relates to something personal in terms of that Angst she covered up in her eyes. I'v always been perceptive and this very minute I can totally figure out that she's got her guards up and is trying to spring a curtain over her Angst - yet again - which means the minute I ask anything more on the same - she will flee at the speed of light.

I say next sure that the sincerity was evident in my voice - " I understand...hey...listen...I hope that you are able to do the same and that you feel better soon in terms off all the venting out...also in the process just don't be too hard on yourself - it's okay to not feel okay..."

She does not flee at that obviously in that given second and shoots me a sincere smile+ nod - " thank you so much for that...I will remember that.....and I hope that you feel better after venting out all of your work anxiety too.."

And because I felt like I wanted to see that radiant beautiful grin of her's one more time I say - " but before I say you have a good day and we head our ways - you gotta taleast high-five me in a way of a toast to screaming our lungs out for the rest of the day...I mean - as strange as the coincidence is - it is a first time - we'v both met someone who instantly understands the dynamics of the same.."

She grins naturally at that and she nods - "yeah - I think a high-five is surely - fair enough...,"and we both end up sharing up a warm chuckle with an added high-five -and she says after with an effortless smile - " you too have a good day MaskC.....,"and she pauses and I ask instantly - " wait..what?was that? MaskC..and why did you pause..."

She chuckles amused as she admits - "it's just the first name that came to my mind when I spotted you in the ticket line..alright? that was before you said - that you wana protect yourself from the flu...and I paused because it was a slip of my tongue and you don't need to know it...for its totally weird..."

I chuckle - " really? is it now? maybe that's precisely why I need to know it...go on tell me - I wont take any offense I promise..."

She nods as she raises her hands to her sides in defence playfully - " you asked - so - here I go - I addressed you as the MaskCap Dude in my head...alright....you know..given your Mask and Cap..."

She whatttttttttt?

I burst into a spits of laughter immediately.

The MaskCap Dude.

No one's ever called me That.

I am in the middle of my laugh when she says rolling her eyes a tad bit embarrassed - " it's funny...I know...I hope I haven't offended you though..."

I shake my head controlling my laughter - " no you haven't in anyway whatsoever - alright - it's just funny...that's all.."

She chuckles and nods - " I know..okay...then..i'll get going now...bbye...have a good day MaskCap Dude...,"and she waves me a casual bye.

I nod at her in acknowledgement of the same and wave back at her and she quickly turns around and begins to head in the direction totally opposite from mine - leaving me standing with an amused smile still curved up my lips.

This is going to go down as - One of the Most intriguing encounter's - in my Books for sure. I turn around and begin to walk up my way and about 60 seconds later I pause.

Why?

Because - hell - I just realised that I didn't even ask her - her actual name.

I turn around and pace back to where I was - 60 seconds ago- to look out for her - but she seems to have sped away as my eyes can't trace her in the furtherest line of my vision across.

I open up Her Map in my Hand nonetheless now - and resume to go about my business with a smile up my face.

Why a Smile? Because it's her very map that's telling me - that even though we'v head in opposite directions for now - there are great chances that there's going to be a point of intersection of our ways in and around the Fast Track Lane of a couple off rides in the area - that is marked to be - the Middle of The Park - in a couple of hours from now.

And I don't know why - but there's a part at the back of my Head that finds itself - kinda Hoping to Just Run into Her Again.
