Niki...(Completed & Editing)

chp 7 "trespassing"

“no, no..” I shouted and when my eyes opened I was on my bed, my hands sweating and my breathing was uneven. Then I searched for the time, it was 3 in the morning. It was the worse dream I have ever seen. I picked my phone and the other thing that my hand did automatically was  by calling Karan.

“the number you have called is currently switched off” the computerised voice was just fuel to the already ignited fire.

I swapped down the bed and started my way downstair.

“what are you doing?” my concision ringed in my head.

“don’t know, I just want to meet Karan.”

“why is it important huh?”

“don’t know”

“tell me you like him”

“shutup”

No further conversation and I was out of my house to Karan’s house. It  was only few houses away from mine.

Soon I  was standing at the door step of Karan’s house I bend down at the second step just to take  the keys beneth the mat, after 5 second I was inside the house safe and sound.

The lights were off and it was difficult to see anything but I knew the path to Karan's room. I made my way till the staircase quietly so that kamala aunty-house help- does not get up who must be sleeping in room near the stair.

After 15 steps I reached the room and I turned the knob and as expected it was open. My eyes roamed in room it was dark with only one dim light radiating near the window. I turned towards the bed to see Karan who was sleeping soundly.

He looks so cute while sleeping. I don’t know from where a smile spread accros my face and I was just standing there staring him. and then he moved a little bit like he got an intuition of getting stare.

He moved little and looked at my direction opening his eyes a little, then smiled and again closed his eyes.

I was shoked that he didn’t got shoked seeing a random person in his room. Ok I was not random but still I don’t come here every day.

“go back, what are you doing. He saw you!!”
Thanks to my inner brain I started moving back to his door without removing my eye from him, and that’s the most stupid thing I did.

“ouch!!” words speedy came out my mouth without my permission as I collided with the wall.

“what happned?” Karan got up from his sweet sleep at my voice.

What I am going to say now??

‘surprise!! I came here to give you cristmas gift.’ Really so dumb.

“Niki what are you doing here” he asked loudly.

“shh” I said keeping finger on my lips.

I walk towads him and sat opposite to him.
“need to tell me what are you doing in my room at--” he advert the gaze from me and his watch and back again to me “—at 3:30 in morning”

“I came to see you” I simply stated and he just gave me a glare.

“ok I m going, bye.” With that I turned to move back to my house when his voice reached my eares to stop me “you came to see me, why?” I was a few centimeter away from his bed or I can say from him.

“because you left me alone, I don’t like you. You are stupid, arrogant and, and, and—“ 
“and what?” he interrupted.

“I don’t know.” I looked down at floor not wanting to see his eyes.

I felt some shuffing on the bed and yes I was right he stood from his lovely bed and made a walk towards me, or I can say just stand up from bed as I was not too far. You know just few centimeter.

I still was looking at ground and can see one pair of legs near me I advert my gaze from foot to blue sweat pant to six pack abes, to his smiling face.

Wait. What? Six packs..

“why are you not wearing a shirt?” I asked out of blue.

“don’t change the topic, and its my room I can do what I want. You  know, I can even walk naked” he chukled and my cheeks went full tomato, if it was not dark he could have noticed it.

“and when did I left you? And if I did that I can’t remember. Now tell me right now” he spoke with frustration as if I planted the bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
“In my dream.” just 3 word and 8 letters. Boom.

He was laughing like a maniac now did I said something I shouldn’t. god I am impossible. With that tear rolled down my cheek as I was watching him and closed my eyes mentally cursing myself.

I was not able hear the laughter after some time. So he may have  probably gone, or this is my other dream. No, it’s not. As I felt something warm near my cheek and I opned my eye just to watch him wiping my tears with his thumb.

“shh, don’t cry. I am sorry, like really sorry. I didn’t wanted to hurt you it just that--” he was searching for a word that could make me understand the situation. He is so cute.

“but wait, I left you in dream? I can’t understand.” he looked confused. Of course.

I told him about my dream giving him every detail removing the part where I was crying for him loudly at airport. He listented carefully and then said something I didn’t expected.

“when I told you that I don’t want to go abroad for PG, you remember?” he asked.

“yeah?”

“that’s the reason.” His eyes showed some unknown emotion.

There was an silence. No one spoke.

“I think I must go, it quite late. Nik will get worried if he won’t see me.” I said breaking the silence.

“you mean its early right” he  said with little smile. It will be wrong if I would say he don’t look handsome even in this early morning. His dark hair fully messed and his brown eyes showing spark as usual.

“Wait here I will be back in ten min” he said and walked towards the bathroom which is attached to his bed room.

Till that time I got an opportunity to see room blankly. It was neat and clean even at his hour while my remain always messy. I could see the photo frames above the bed showing him, his dad and his mom. I looked all one by one and my eyes landed on one frame which was not there last time I was here. It was of Karan and mine. It was the picture taken when he dared me to a stare him for 5 min. and hell yes I completed it. A smile spread across my face while remembering it.

“hey ,lets go.” I heard Karan’s voice from back and I turned around to see him. he was wearing a grey T with black jeans and his hair were wet water dripping from it.

“you are too fast.” I manage to say.

“yes I am! Now lets go to your house.” He said and we left his house.

“may I ask you something.” I asked while heading back.

“hmm”

“are you going to leave after this year?” I asked.

He didn’t answered.
