The Cursed Silence

Day 2 : Hunt

I still haven't processed from what just happend last night ,
But I made sure that dad couldn't know anything about what happened

" Good morning , babe " Amit holds my waist and kisses me

I pushed him away ," What you're doing ? "

" What ? "

" I told you to not do any of that here . We are not in Delhi anymore , alright ? These people are ... they have a different mentality "

" Hey , hey " he holds my hands ," I'm sorry , Okay? "

" Just behave " I said moving towards the kitchen and started cutting the vegetables

" You look tensed "

" About last night ... "

" Ahh , I thought so ... look , I went back to the lake this morning with some guys and it was nothing ... it was just a dumb marriage function "

" What ? " I asked , enlarging my eyeballs ," A marriage function with no lights ? No people ? .... "

" But there was music , you heard that right ? And common how we would have been able to see someone in that dark , hmm ? "

I took a long pause before answering ," Hmm , maybe you're right "

" Yup , and about the dogs ... " Amit starts eating bread while talking ," You're thinking too much . You need rest and also you need to take care of you're father , right ? "

" Amit " My dad calls him out from the other room

" See , he loves me more " he left picking up an apple

" Yes . Uncle ? "

" Before naaz's dadi went she left something for you "

" For me ? "

" Hmm "

" A Mangalsutra ... it's of her own , years and years old "

" Thanks dad " They both hugged , I heard everything from the kitchen but you know I will as obviously pretend like I never heard a thing . You know sometimes , you know it's cliché but it's beautiful and once in a lifetime thing . God , I couldn't even imagine , me and Amit getting married all the celebrations , music , families .. like a dream come true ,
as I said earlier ...
just like in movies

" Hey ... open up " Someone knocks outside of my kitchen's window . It was Ramesh

" What are you doing here ? "

" The door was open , I ... I wanted to see if ... if you need any help or something "

" Yes but didn't your mom said not to visit us ? "

" Hmm . She's a bit mad . They all belive in that night rituals everyone's talking about "

" Wait ..Wait .. What rituals ? "

" Uh - uh , nothing .. do you remember Arman's sister , she is 16 years old now .... "

" Ramesh " I placed my hand on his hand , deep down I knew he had a crush on me . One day when my parents were not home , I decided to call him to play with me . It was summer holidays time , so none of us had to worry about school . Everything was going great , I was the only kid in the neighborhood to have a TV , so we watched a lot a movies on it ,
It was until when he placed his hands inside his pocket and started rubbing it inside .
I obviously did noticed it but he was soo much into the zone , he never saw the expression on my face , until his pants gets wet ...
That was the last time we meet ,
I never intended to saw his face again after what he did
