The Darkest Bliss

Chapter Seven

I called Ben and asked him to come over for some war. It had been long that I stopped doing the usual chores and the usual activities. Maybe I had been sick all this time and finally I am about to get well.

"Knock knock" two familiar voices shout in unison like the marching armies with their one two one.
"Who is there? " I replied as I smile.
"Your pen and a book" they say in unison.
My pen and a book, yea right...
"Get in wannabes, stop acting like out grown babies" I shout from inside as I make my hair to buns.
They came in just immediately because they know just right when I'm about to be emotional or break down I become the toughest for a minute or so.
"Lets kill some zombies Bitch" Ben says as he push my head letting it imaginatively spin circularly. Yes he was dramatic unlike the others and that's what I loved about him.
He was different, totally alien in personality, and he was someone you could stay naked with without the fear of getting heat up.
P. S He is not gay.

We settle down in my bed, yes it's as big to fit in four people. Mel took out a book to read titled "Lost unforgettable year" by V.K.A. that's what I preferred calling him, the new writer on block.
An amateur from the Land of the Nagas. I freaking don't know from where she got this book already.
While Ben and I fight over the bet.

Jesta comes in with Brunch(breakfast lunch) and we once again unite in body and minds to stuff in the whole.
They suggest that I call Rusk. It had been long since four of us had spent any time together since last summer.

Rusk joins us after half an hour or so, planting a kiss on my forehead before settling down.
Two eyes hit straight on me unable to understand what just happened. I smile and winked to which everyone of us smiled.

Having people you could laugh so hard with are the best people. Also because those people in my life were very few and with them I could both be dark and light.

"Every one of you going for field trip? Eh? " Ben asked. To which No was never an answer that will be accepted. "Yes" I replied.
"I thought you'd be the first to Say no" Ben said sounding pleased.
"Well we should do this. Remember good or bad we are in it to win or lose together" I said happily. To which Ben reacted awfully.
"Oh Bitch you are making this trip sound like a murder mission. You don't know what new hopes and visions we are receiving after that. You may fall in love with the spirits there" Ben noted.
"Then maybe we should find one for Mel" I note back. Mel hit me so hard. She didn't like to talk on this very topic.
Rusk was only listening. He was never a talker but much of a listener(very patient listener) and an adviser. He had the hard as stone personality which protected the three idiots from any storms.
Phone beeps.
"I have to move guys. Important call"says Mel.
"Spoiler" I replied not wanting her to leave.
"I'll see you out"offers the handsome Rusk.
As they stood to walk out I saw or Maybe felt something unusual about Mel's behaviour. She wasn't acting like the old days. Curiosity washed over my body and soul but what more can be done?
I suggested Ben we'd have a drink or two and asked jesta to bring me some bottle of beer.

Matt and Mel
"Where the hell were you? Did you see my missed calls? " shouted Matt. Agitated at Mel for being late.
"I was with Zia so I had to lie and stay a bit longer" replied Mel as she plant a kiss on Matt's seductive lips.
"I missed you"Matt tells Mel as he hug her and lead her to his bed.
" I did too. Though I'm not sure if I'm really still okay" Mel says regretfully.
"Let bygones be bygones" Matt assures Mel that everything will be okay.
Their making out could be more deep and passionate than mine with Matt. However that's not the point.

"How you feeling? " Rusk ask concerned.
"I'm doing much better. Well I was always doing good Rusk" I said as I walk forward and sit on his lap.
"Okay guys get a room." Ben suggests unable to prolong his uneasiness.
Rusk and I looked at Ben and smiled as we cuddle.

It was late evening, Ben had left since he had to pick his Mom up from the market. He was mama's little boy. The only son of a heart surgeon and his smartest most diplomatic housewife.

"Zia are you sure you're ready for the field trip tomorrow? "Asks Rusk as he move forward and hug me from behind.
"Ofcourse I am. Why are you worried? I'll be fine. And you'll be there too right jerk? " I tell him.
"Yes but then Matt and grace and Adele will be there too" Rusk says more worried than concerned. He saw me breaking Down that night, maybe that fear had taken a deep root in him that he is unable to let himself free from insecurities.
"I love you Rusk" I say as I turn to look at him in the eye.
"Are you sure? " he shoots playfully.
"I never was. I think, no,  yes, i think I am more than sure now." I said hugging him.

Some person in our life are like angels. They are not always seen or felt but at the end we know they are sent from beloved almighty to look after us and guide us.

"I have to pack. You'll help me choose right Rusk? " I ask.
"Save me Lord" Rusk sighs.
I hit him on his chest.

This is almost coming to an end and I'm still unsure if anyone of you are eager to know how it is going to end. Well I hope you are liking my story. Thankyou for reading.
