Truth Or Dare?

truth or dare? 0.7

I started at already decomposing body that was being held tightly by varun my mouth was completely dry and i even struggled to blink.
The only movements that  were present were the extreme trembling of my hands my mind raced as i thought of sid last moments his lungs burning from the lack of oxygen , his hand reaching for envelope to save us, the water finally invading his lungs as he struggled to swim back up.......

My mind go back to just before he dived into the pool, not knowing that he wouldn't come back alive we filled him with false hope that he would make it. I allow tear to roll down  my cheek. I look at everyone they too was crying , much more than me i didn't know him long back we become friends in clg 1st year then bestie he didn't deserve this none of us did.

Some sudden movements caught my attention varun swam with sid to  the edge of the pool without a word " karan help me out please" he said with a sad tone however, there was no movement from karan he just stared ahead , his eyes blank and his mouth open slightly 

I took hold of his waist and took him into a hug it took him a while to respond to the hug but he did!.. "it's going to be okay?" I tried to encourage him softly and looked over his shoulder at aneesh. His gaze was fixed on sid and he slowly swayed back and forth with brows furrowed. He looked like he was in deep thought but clam at same time.
Sid lay on the ground with his eye wide open and staring at the ceiling his struggle and last moment of life was displayed heavily on his face as if he was still alive I remember last time he smile was when he said "I couldn't swim to save my life" how dangerously ironic.

I look away from him quickly I couldn't be here to think about his death again.

Karan was starting at the hole with saddened and Confused expression on his face I signed as I wondered the same thing. The envelope was not hard to get at all there was no reason for sid to find it difficult weak know he couldn't swim but even a 5 year older will be able to get that

" I think there is something wrong with the hole" karan said

" why what's wrong with the hole?" Koel ask

Karan peered over the edge  of the hole and his eye Drew narrow. Seeing karan reaction made me to the hole and find out what he meant. However I wasn't able to point out what was making him and varun so confused..

"What is it?" I asked in confusion

" I can see the envelope but it look different from how it look before" varun said i squinted harder at the hole and realize that he was right . That white envelope before The task was now at the bottom of hole hardly able to see..

"Be safe" i whispered as i watch varun swim deeper and deeper into the hole to know what wrong with that envelope or hole ... my heart started to beat extremely fast as he swam out of sight

It's ok monu , he is good at swimming....

I turned away to face the rest of my friends varun had to make it ; i don't know what i will do without him to keep me company for the rest of my life i wouldn't be able to live with this trauma without him.......

Karan had started walking around the room as if he was looking for something i could tell he was thinking deeply about something from the way his face adorably scrunched up Koel was with him.

  however aneesh was different to karan anyways he still had a seemingly dark look on his face but instead of staring at the pool he was starting at sid body i  walked over to him call him causing him to look away from  sid and look at me instead with that same dark expression.

"So is there something wrong?" I asked nervously to aneesh

" why would there be something wrong?"

"Where you have just been acting really weird... you haven't been acting like your normal self" i said

aneesh sighed and bowed his head his eye returning to stare at sid which cause me to do the same. His head was turned to face us and his eyes stared through ours lifelessly .
The hope and regret he once had vanished along with him. I looked away ,not wanting to picture his last moments again.....

He lifted his hand to stroke my shoulder gently, rubbing my skin with his large but soft thumb. It was almost as if went from completely hating me to love me again. WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM? I thought for 4th time today. I shifted my body uncomfortably as a long and awkward silence stood in between us..

From the corner of my eye, i saw karan walking around with koel deep in thoughts. His head jerked all over the place as he seemed as if he was looking something desperately. My lord  and saviour.

I removed my arm from his grip and forced a fake smile " i just go to check if karan need my help "

"Sure"  he said his gaze no longer found interest in me he started straight ahead again i just walked fast towards koel and karan  who still looked lost.
