Im still shaken to the core. A minor earthquake had me sp shaken up to the core of my being that im convinced that the fear that took over me at that moment will haunt me to become my worst nightmares.
I recall the day. It was biology class we were listening to the teacher when the ground underneath our shook but i ignored it thinking i had imagined it due to the fact that i was almost half asleep and was trying not to doze off right infornt of the teacher. I was stealing glaces at her to make myself awake.
But then the ground shook again. It scared the hell out of me and everyone else. Anvi looked so freaked out she immediately went under ther desk before the teacher barked at us to go under the desks. I followed in half trembling. The floor still shook we stayed away form the side and stuck to the middle which led to us pressed against each others sides. It was the only good and sane thing to keep me from having a panic attack.
She was continuously whispering to herself like "calm down" "it will be okay" "your going to be fine" andnthen she started chanting Hanuman Chalisa. She looked like she had a habit of it. Seeing her like this broke me more. It made me feel worse, that i couldn't do anything for her i tried to say something but nothing came out. So i stopped trying. I was bearly holding myself together when she looked like she was about to cry of course I'll fuck up if i say anything so i put one of my trembling hands on her shoulder and squeeze a little it seemed to work.
I myself was so freaked out that i also joined her in chanting Hanuman Chalisa and random mantras when it finnaly stoped and we got out of under the desks. Thankfully no one was hurt but Anvi was still on the verg of crying when Anya hugged her and tried to calm her down while i stood there staring at her.
I was not able to do anything yet again. I failed the second time in my life.
Today im in the school early. I couldn't sleep bu tim not going to tell that to anyone.
"Suruoday kis desha se hua ke aaj aap jaldi padare sone ke maharaj?" Aaryan mocks me as he settles down wriggling his eyebrows, teasing.
"Ya pher kise ke yaad aa gayi?" He say as he smiles and that makes me chuckle. He is right though i couldn't get her crying face out of my head and the earthquake shook the fuck out of me.
"Nahi bass so nahi paya yaar." I blurt out then close my eyes in frustration.
Hai Shree Ram muje bhudhi dedijiye.
"Huh. Kyu?" All the expressions drain out as a concerned look comes into focus on his whole face. God i hate Concered Aaryan for depressed Aarav.
"Kuch nahi." I say trying to ignore the topic but he rasies his eyebrows to convey that he is not a fool and can see right through me.
I sigh.
"Kese se baat karni ho toh mein hu zinda abhi bhi." He says earning a smack from me.
"Humhe kon bolta hai bar bar maarne ke baatein karne ko." I roll my eyes remembering all the times he had said something like this.
