The Story Of Nisha

Chapter 5 - Maybe he's not that bad

It was no surprise that Alia and Siddharth's wedding was going to be a grand affair. With only few weeks to go, there was even a transformation in the house, as the family was decorating the place with flowers, vases and all sorts of decorations. 

That night I coudn't sleep. I admit that I'm super tired after travelling in India's scorching weather, however I still go to the kicten to make myself a glass of  tea.  I get a meta cup from the cupboard and begin stirring. It was dark in the kitchen, aside from the minimal light from the streetlights outside.  I begin humming a tune from a movie, when suddenly I hear footsteps.  Please don't be my mother. She despises this habit of having 'midnight snacks', if she sees me know, I'll be in for a big lecture for sure. I quickly grab my cup and walk out towards my room when the footsteps approch me. 

I turn back, back due to the darkness I cannot identify the face, but I knew one thing. It wasn't a girl.

"Nisha??"Questions SIddharth's voice reaching over to touch my shoulder.

It had to be him. His childish attributes would definitely make him create a fuss about this. 

"Sidharth. Just go" I whisper

"Why? Isn't this my house Nisha??"He laughs

I don't respond. 

"Anyways. What on earth are you even doing at this hour? " He asks

"I could ask you the same " I say cheekily

"Couldn't sleep that's all" He says turning on the lights

He was wearing a green shirt and basic blue jeans. His hair was kinda ruffled and he admittedly looked kinda good.  

"Why are you up?" He asks grabbing something 

"Same reason" I mutter, surprised at his sudden interest in me

"Want one?" He asks holding out a container full of chocolate cookies coated in strawberry cream.

"It's fine." I say grabbing my cup of tea and walking out

"What's with the attitude" He asks

"Attitude? Aren't I allowed to leave?" I ask

"Well...yeah. I just thought you'd give me company. But if you don't want to..."

"Hey I wasn't being mean or anything" I say walking back to him

He is quiet, with his chocolate brown eyes gazing into the window. There is a moment of awkward silence between us. 

"Tea?" I ask

"Yeah sure" He laughs

Surprised at his behaviour, I make the tea and hand it over to him. He quickly drinks it without any comments. 

"Like it?" I ask

"Yeah I guess" He says

"Now. I'm going back to bed. Don't tell on me" I warn

"Tell on you? What am i? Five?" 

"Well. You did that to me last year. Remember" I remind him. Even last year, he got me in trouble for such a minor thing, like going out somewhere without telling my parents.

"Fine I won't. Now get lost"

"Suit your self"
