I was continuously ruffling through the piles of washed clothes, trying to find a pair of clothes which will fit Ankit's 6'3 body. After a while I found a grey t-shirt and a milky white track pant. I hope this will fit him just fine.
I was on my way back to my room when I heard muffled sounds coming from my parents room. Even though I don't have the habit of eves dropping but don't know why today I felt the urge to hear what was going on behind that door.
As I started approaching the door the sounds started to become more clear to my ears. It was as if someone was moaning and talking at the same time. Then when I was standing just near the door I was about to gasp as I realised what were the sounds and muffled talks about, but to my luck a very strong and firm hand came from behind me and shushed me while keeping his hand right on my mouth. My hand instantly flew to grab the stranger's hand which was preventing me from saying anything but I was surprised to see it was Ankit .
"Ankit?" a confused whisper came out as soon as he removed his hand from my mouth.
"Shhh! Don't talk... they'll you were here, let's just go from here"
I didn't utter a single word and nodded while he held my hand and led me back to the room as it was very dark and I couldn't see a single thing.
As soon as he closed the door behind him, he turned to me and said
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? Why were you eves dropping on your parents when they were literally having- uhhh nevermind" Ankit closed his eyes in frustration and turned around towards the balcony.
"I- sorry I didn't mean to but they were discussing something while doing it.. I just heard my mother say 'Finally we got rid of her, after that incident we thought nobody will ever marry that woman' "
Ankit quickly turned around and then it hit me. I just revealed my biggest secret. I was not supposed to tell him anything about that until our marriage.
"WHAT?!" Ankit exclaimed
"I- I-it's-"
"What type of incident?"
"N-nothing, It's j-just n-nothing- I d-don't k-know what t-they were talking a-about"
My stuttering made it absolutely clear to Ankit that I was hiding something from him but sensing my uncomfortable situation he didn't question me further. I handed him the clothes which I brought for him and he went to change in the bathroom.

The storm was getting worse every minute. If we see the brighter side then it's actually good that we didn't risk returning home in this damn situation. I was standing infront of her mirror drying my hair. And I was extremely shocked to see that she didn't have those whole bottles of chemicals and serums lying on the counter like most of the girls. She just had her toothbrush, hair dryer, a face moisturizer, a body moisturizer and a hair serum. This girl is seriously different from most of the girls I had seen. Even "she" used to have thousands of beauty products lying on my basin counter and cabinets. I honestly miss those so much. I miss the smell of her hair, her body, her everything. Those things still linger in my mind. I huffed and stopped the hair dryer.
As soon as I kept the dryer down the lights suddenly went off and I heard Shirsha scream from her room.
"OH MY GOD! Ankit-"
The fear in her voice was clearly visible.
I rushed out of the bathroom and saw her trying to see through the darkness and find me.
"Here- here I am...don't worry"
As soon as her hands came into contact with my chest she clutched on the t-shirt and sobbed a little.
"A-ankit I'm scared"
She is scared of darkness? I pulled her hand into mine and hugged her shaking body whispering soft and loving things just to make her stop crying.
After a while her sobs became softer and unaudible. But I could still feel her heart racing. Mine too was racing but not like her's one.
God, please send the power back on, I can't just bear holding her anymore.. these mixed feelings about her is killing me. And I can't even push her aside because she's literally crying on my chest.
