Everyone was sitting around each other gossiping below the night sky

A boy- fir pata he kya hua... Mein meri cousin upar terrace par Gaye and jab hum pahaunche boom... Koi nehi tha ... Meri cousin jab terrace ke opposite side gayi toh zor se chilaya.. humara jo flower vase shaam ko nicche tha wo tab terrace par tha... Fir hum jo dum lagakar bhagge... By God maut ko kareeb se dekha he

Everyone starts a scared giggle not knowing what to reply

Vaishu- chalo guys ajj raat ki nind bhagane keliye kafi saari ghost stories hogayi... Abhi chalte he filhall

Dev- (looked at vivaan who fell asleep on his shoulder) ye toh so Gaya😑... Chaalo accha he... Mujhe Darr tha isse nind ayegi ki nehi... (He picked him up carefully while abhi helped him to adjust properly without disturbing his sleep and they walked towards the tent... He placed Vivi on the bed carefully and abhi fell on the bed ready to sleep)

Abhi- tu nehi soyega kya (asked in whisper)

Dev- soojaa... Mujhe nind nehi ayi (picked up a book)

Abhi- good night (covered his face in the blanket)

Dev switched off the lights letting them sleep and slipped out of the tent only to find ananya sitting under the blanket of stars and gazing at the sky... He went and took a place beside her adjusting himself in a comfortable position by coughing a fake one to seek her attention..

Ananya- soye nehi

Dev- mein v puch sakta hun

Ananya - but mene already puch liya

Dev- mein v puch chuka hun

Ananya - Matt batao☺️ (again looked towards the sky)

Dev- nind nehi ayi abtak bass toh socha book padhlu (still looking at the sky)

Ananya - mujhe dark mein nind nehi aati

Dev- toh light on karlo

Ananya - vaishu kal puri raat soo nehi payi due to lights... She was continuously changing sides

Dev- that's why tum nehi sougi?

Ananya - it's ok ... Kal daylight mein thoda sa rest lelungi!

Dev- abhi keliye yahan v rest lee sakti ho lamp Naa sahi moon light toh he

She quickly looked at him with shocked eyes...
Dev pointed at his shoulder

Ananya - no thank you (she again looked at the sky)

Dev - Anu thodi der rest lelo... You will feel tired

Ananya - tum nehi sone Wale kya... What about you

Dev- duniya mein agar sabke baareinmein sochna hogaya ho toh kya 1 minute keliye tum apne liye soch sakti ho?

Ananya - better hoga tum jaake soo jao... It's already late

Dev- just a second (he went towards his tent and brought out a blanket and a pillow- ) hmm.. this will go for now

Ananya - jarurat nehi he dev...

Dev- soo jao mein tumhe jaga dunga thodi der baad

Ananya - dabbu no nah yaar please

Dev- toh fir meher ke pass jaogi... Wo lights on karke soo jati he..

Ananya - dabbu raat ke ek bajj rahe he.. so Gaye honge wo log..

Dev- mein toh nehi soya nah.. rest lelo.. (kept the pillow on his back resting at pole.. he pointed towards his shoulder... She shifted a bit and kept her head on his shoulder closing her eyes... While dev opened his book to read)

After sometime flipping a lot of pages he closed the book after placing a bookmark... He shifted his eyes towards his shoulder where she was sleeping peacefully...he put her hair strands behind her ear and caressed her cheeks lovingly... He slightly held her head and placed on the pillow and got up... He picked her up in his arm and steeped into her and vaishu's tent.. he placed her on the mattress comfortable making sure not to disturb her sleep... After adjusting the pillow her head... He stood straight to see his wrist watch 'half past three'

He went to his tent with his blanket and pillow.. he laid on the mattress and covered himself with blanket and smelled it... Then quickly smelling his shoulder part of the shirt

Dev- woww... Abhi meri cheezein v smell like her (he smiles unknowingly and closed his eyes to seek some sleep)
