Running with the cops

I had stopped running for about 3 weeks but I had vowed that I would restart it this week. I managed running thrice this week, I would be running tomorrow as well to make up for the loss on the weekdays. I couldnt get up early today since I slept at 3 a.m on Friday after finishing up work at the office. But in the evening, the weather was really nice and my mom too kinda forced me to go out since I was lazing around at home the entire day. It was around 7:15 and the sun was about to pack up for the day. I went to the park just behind my house and started to jog. I completed 2 rounds and it got dark and all of the other aunties and uncles and chubby girls headed back towards their homes. I had to finish 2 more rounds. The parks near my place are kinda shady..with only one or two street lights lighting up the place. I saw a bike with two cops enter and kinda patrolling to see whether everything was alright and stuff. They saw this guy (me) running and thought that I was up to something. I too realized that they were looking at me in a menacing manner. They stopped me and I was like "f**********ck I knew it!". Anyways they asked me in the most tacky Haryanvi accent "Kitne chakkar kaatega" and like a moron I answered "Kuchch nahin!". Damn!..I expected more like "what were u upto?" and stuff. Anyways they repeated the question. I told them that I was just jogging and would head back as soon as I cover my rounds. These guys asked me how much do I run. I told them about my half marathon plans and all. Thats when they lightened up. They were pretty impressed. I was like phew! They went on describing their heydays and how much fitness they had and how it got lost once they got married and had kids (all 4 of em!). They even gave me healthy advice on how to continue my running even after I get married. Some healthy tips to manage my time when my wife would be nagging away to buy groceries. It was funny.. I was getting lectured about how to keep my fitness levels high by two pot bellied cops. Anyways, thankfully they realized that I have to continue my running before my body cools down and allowed me to complete my rounds. They also headed back towards their job...or to buy groceries..whatever. I completed my 4 rounds and went back home with a silly smile on my face thinking about what just happened.
