The Eternity of Love

Chapter 25

Anaya opened the door of basement and she was welcomed by the dust. She waved her hand to and fro in front of her face, to clear her vision. "God, when was the last time this basement was cleaned!!!", she sighed.

"You were yearning to come here, otherwise mam was coming but no 'mam I'll go'", Arhan mimicked her.

She narrowed her eyes, "Done??"

"No, because of your helping nature I also got stuck here", he deliberately said this to tease her.

"So I didn't ask you to come here", she roared.

"As if you would have done it alone", he took a step forward, close to Anaya.

"Yes I would have done it", she put her hands on her waist and took a step forward towards him. Their shoes touched and they both were glaring at each other.

"I am helping you and you are throwing tantrums at me", he leaned a little towards her.

"So did I ask you do this??", she thundered and stood on her toes to match his height, making him chuckle at her cuteness. But he immediately composed himself and stepped back.

"Fine, I am going then", he said.

"Ya go. I can handle alone", she flipped her hairs and went inside further.

He sighed and turned back to go. He had just taken a few steps when the lights went out and it became dark. As they were in basement, there were no source of light except the one which just went out.

"Now, what's wrong with this light??", she muttered to herself. A wave of fear started crawling through her veins. She gulped and looked here and there but due to dark, she couldn't see anything properly. The darkness was scaring her.

"Arhan... did you go?? Ar... Arhan ", her voice broke because of the fear. "Ar.. Arhan are you there??", She started moving her hands in air. No response came from his side. She started moving further while calling his name.

Suddenly someone held her hand, making her scream. He pin her to the wall and put his hand on her mouth. She started wiggling to free herself, so he took out his phone from his pocket and turned on the flash lights. "Sshhh... why are you screaming?? It's me", Arhan informed while showing his face in flashlight.

Her chest which was raising up, dropped and she sighed in relief. She put his hand down and yelled, "You idiot, you scared me".

"Why?? I thought you would be brave enough to handle all this alone, right??", he smirked. Anaya got it that he was taunting her indirectly. She turned her face aside and didn't say anything.

They were standing close to each other. As she turned her face, Arhan's eyes landed on the mole on her collarbone which was visible because her tie was loose and the upper botton of the shirt was undone. The mole was peeking from inside, pulling his attention. A drop of sweat released from her hairs and slowly started sliding down.

Arhan's eyes were on the drop only, he gulped. The drop passed by the mole and entered in her shirt, Arhan closed his eyes to compose himself. He opened his eyes and adjusted her tie. At first she flinched but the moment when his did this, she was amused.

"It's suffocating", she wishpered because of their closeness.

"Keep it here", he adjusted it in a manner that neither it will suffocate her, nor her mole will be visible. 'Otherwise what I will do next will suffocate you more' he said in his mind while looking into her deep brown eyes.

She was looking in his eyes when he spoke, "Shall we go??".

"Hmm??", she blinked her eyes several times as she got her senses back. She nodded and he stepped back.
