DIL SE DIL TAK

Chapter-38

SIDHARTH'S POV -

I was headed for a mission.

Yes!

A mission.

And my Target was to know about her Christmas wish.

Apparently everyone in the family has given her gifts for the Christmas, except for me. The reason was that I wanted to give her something, she actually wanted and needed. So I was doing what I never thought I would ever do.

Sneak into my tenant's room.

I slowly opened the door making sure there was no noise made or heard.

"Shehnaaz?" I had called her name which came out barely as a whisper, so slow that for a moment even I couldn't hear it myself.

She wasn't here.

First step accomplished!!!!

I locked the door not wanting mom to barge in her room and caught me here, where I'm not supposed to be.
Secondly, if she had find me in Shehnaaz's room. It would definitely turn into something which could be called as a 'great mess'.

I could hear the sound from her washroom which meant that she was in there getting freshen up. I need to be quick.

Yesterday evening, Shehnaaz told me that she has decided what she wanted this year for Christmas. I made her write it down on a piece of paper and told her to put it in a sock and later hang it up in your room.

But

The suspicious part is that she didn't let me see her write or didn't tell me her wish when I had asked her.
And it made me even more curious.

I looked for the red sock with green markings but couldn't find it anywhere in the room. 

Shit....

.

I failed up on my mission!!!

Before I could proceed with my search, I heard faint sounds coming from the washroom.

She was going to come out!!!

Hurry sidharth!!!!

But I can't go without knowing her wish!!!

So the last thing that I did was coming up with this utmost stupid idea of hiding under Shehnaaz's bed not before making sure that there were no spiders waiting for me down here.

The clicking of the bathroom's door made it clear now that she was back in the room.

The soft sound of her payal came closer and closer and was now heard more clearly then before.

I need to get out of here soon

But how???

I just can't let her know that I'm in here.

Shehnaaz's pov -

After taking a long hot water bath I was back in my room.
I looked at myself in the wall mirror. No doubt I looked cute in this red bathrobe.
I just got it a few days back from Amazon.
Recently, I have watched so many Instagram reels and YouTube shorts that I was convinced to buy such cute accessories for myself. The other one was the bohoo that I got for myself. It could be used while doing makeup.

I need to keep a check on my bank account. These stupid habit of buying anything that I find cute and adorable is going to end me up on the streets.

I swayed infront of my mirror in the red bathrobe imagining myself as some disney princess.

I feel like I haven't grown up yet.

Lol

And the people of my age have children of their own!

It was quite difficult to manage with one fractured arm but anyways I did. I was brushing my hair when I heard a very faint sounds.

At first I didn't pay attention. It was as if someone's phone is buzzing.

Wait-???

WHERE IS MY PHONEEEE????

I stood up from the stool and started looking for my mobile. If it would be mom calling me--I'm so dead. She usually gets worried if I don't pick up her call. Let's not forget to say that once I was scolded because I picked it up on the second ring and not the first one.

I found my phone. It was underneath the pillow that was now lying on the floor.

I went through the call history but there wasn't any missed calls.

So...

Who's phone was buzzing????

Suddenly the unknown fear crept inside me.

What if there was a ghost in my room????

I gulped down my saliva in fear.
One thing that scares me the most is GHOSTSSSS-- I mean if I keep aside lizards.

Well, luckily I haven't seen one in my whole life but who knows.

I tried to put these weird thoughts at the back of my mind and walked towards the mirror to continue with my makeup.

But

I AGAIN HEARD THE FAINT SOUNDDD OF THE PHONE BUZZINGG...

SHIT ..

I was too scared now.

"Is anyone ... I-nn- he..here???" My voice came out barely as a whisper. Suddenly I was sounding like a female from the horror movies who would apparently follow the sounds in a dumped house and end up dying.

But it wasn't any bhoot-bhangla...

WAITTT???

What If it is a theif ???

My eyes widened with sudden realisation.

Apparently ghosts won't carry their cellphones around. I mean they have got some self build system in them to communicate.

I carefully removed my chappal that I was wearing just in case I need some self defence.

I should look inside the kitchen.

That's the only place a person could hide themselves.

With the same thought in my mind I started moving towards the kitchen, The door approaching near to me. My hands went all sweaty.

The door banged on the window with a loud thud as I kicked it open.

Immediately I turned on the light ..

But there was no single soul.

That means

ITS.

A.

GHOSSSTTT.

I again heard the sound.

THE FREAKING SOUND OF CELLPHONE RINGING---

IT ISN'T MY PHONE.

My phone was with me tightly clutched in my hand.

Now the sound was heard more clearly.

Before I could do something I was pushed from my wrist and was pinned against the wall.

FUCKKKK
