"You never said a word....."

It was completely unconscious on her part....

She was looking at him....  And then, as though sensing her gaze on him, he turned back.

" What? Is something wrong?"

" Oh, nothing. Nothing at all. Especially nothing that would bother YOU".

Ten minutes into the game.... and he knew something was wrong. She was limping...

And now, as he watched her carefully, her face screwed up in pain. Yes, something was definitely wrong. But, why wasn't she saying anything?

'She shouldn't be even playing..'.. so his thoughts ran.... as he watched her across the court..... controlling the ball and then shooting a basket.

Fifteen minutes later, she was seated outside the court.. nursing her sprained ankle. 

He looked at her again.... and this time, she was looking back at him.

He left the game.... and walked over to her.

" What happened? Is everything alright? "

"Oh.. it's just my ankle... I tripped.. and got hurt... I'll manage. You go and play"

He would come back after every two minutes to check back on her.... And even brought her a glass of water.. a gesture... which  really touched her.

" What's wrong with him... He never ever bothers or cares so much.. then why the sudden attention?"......

Her thoughts were again interrupted by him. " Did you apply any bandage on that? Do you need anything? Oh, and don't even think of playing now. Just sit down and rest. "

Why all this sudden care? Why was he even bothering at all?

She was confused.

Was this the same guy who practically ignored her existence on her first day?

Was this the same guy, who usually fouled a LOT on her?

Was this the same guy, who would trip her and made her fall.... and then laugh over it?

This guy, was now showing concern.... and this was seemingly impossible. 

The game ended... And he came up to her. 

" How are you now?"

Oh, I'm okay now..... Just a sprain... I'll be alright..

But... Why all this sudden concern? "

His look silenced her.

" I'll see you tomorrow... Bye"

The incident was closed.

Sometimes.... people can be so weird.

They say something... they do something else.

They mean something..... But they don't tell us...

They want to say something...

But they never do it ......

So, next time you want to say something..

Just put it as it is....

Because... sometimes...

Some things are better said

Than never said at all......................
