I woke up in the middle of night to find him not next to me!
Just kidding. We were not sharing the bed as he did at my place. He slept on the floor and requested me to sleep one the bed. I know its like same old daily soap scene where lovers are one bed away! But no, we are technically not lovers yet. Just because we kissed and I love him. I'm still not sure about his feeling. He has not confessed his feelings. And I don't want to be a loser by confessing out of nowhere and then getting rejected for no good reason. I don't want to be a poor sad kid, I want to know what he feels. And coming back to topic, the bed was actually not big enough for both of us to share at the same time, so I didn't argue.
But it was true that when I woke up he was not lying on the floor as expected. For a second I thought he could be in the bathroom but when I twisted the knob it unlocked within a second. He was not even in the bathroom.
He was not the nemo I need to find. He's Korn. And it's his house. He can be anywhere he pleases. But not with Pleyn I told myself.
I got out of the room partly for finding him and partly because I was thirsty. I couldn't dare to turn the light on fearing Korn's mom would be awake. I took super light steps on my way to kitchen.
My hands were shaky and the glass in my hand full of water was about to break into pieces when I hear whisper. Yeah, Korn and Pleyn was whispering way too fast. It was more like arguing. I'm not sure what they were talking about. But I just didn't want them to have a private space like they were having in the middle of the night, especially when I had high hopes of us getting together. I somehow put the glass on the table, still shaky with tears of being betrayed and then rushed towards his room.
For a second I thought of locking the room so that he can't get inside and get caught by his mom while spending time with my sister, that too at late night. But his mother seemed very fond of Pleyn. I don't think it'd matter to her. Anyway. I couldn't think of anything else then just to pick my phone and leave the soonest.
I did as I said. I closed the door so hard that even a dead person can wake up from the grave let alone his mother.

The night was darker than I imagined it to be. The murky sky was just blurring my swollen eyes and the street was also empty, so empty that even the ghosts will be scared to walk alone. For a moment, the thought of getting back to home appeared in my mind. But it'd take me about an hour or two if I start walking, as there was not a cab to be seen. I can't even call granny at this hour. She'd be terrified.
"What do I do man!!"
I just don't know where to go, but I'm sure about not returning to Korn's house. To be honest, all this long it felt more like a game, and I tried my best to defeat my sister. But if Korn is interested in both of us at the same time. Then it just doesn't make sense. But giving up is also not an option.
I couldn't control my feelings, so I just stared to yell at the little stupid yet brave stars smiling in the sky, no actually laughing at my helplessness.
"I love the wrong guy!!! Do you hear me? I love the wrong guy."
Tears rolled down my cheek when my feelings were pouring out of my heart. Maybe, that's how it feels to be heartbroken in the same day when you feel loved.
"No! You love the right guy."
I just heard his voice saying that to me.
I wouldn't be really shocked if it was a fairy telling me that but it was him. I didn't want to put on a show like every time but I want to know what he actually meant by saying that.
"You fell in love with the right guy."
He said again. And this time more strictly.
"Why are you here? Where is Pleyn? Just go to her!! Leave !!"
I blurted all out at once.
" Will you let me tell you a story?"
He said.
"I'm not interested."
"Please, it's something you must know."
"But what if I don't want to know."
"Then I'm afraid, everything went in vain."
