"I do not crave someone who will fix me.
I just need someone who will hold my hand, until I fix myself"

Arshita's Pov

"So this is home" Shubman said opening the door and letting me inside.

For a moment I couldn't move my feet and stood there silently.

"Is anyone home" I asked.

Shubman shook his head and locked the door behind us and stood beside me. For a second we stood there in an awkward silence and I took this as an opportunity to look around the living room.

His house was way too much clean which I didn't expected, like everything was placed perfectly and one couldn't deny the beauty of this house.

I looked around and felt a same type of vibe which I always feel at home.
It felt empty.

I turned and looked at Shubman and realized that there was so less I knew about him. We both were like almost strangers who don't even like each other much and here I was in his house with two of us only.

Shubman cleared his throat and I looked at him as he said "Make yourself at home" and after a second added "Wait here, I'll see if I have some clothes for you"

He came back after two minutes and handed me a t-shirt and a shorts and showed me a room to change.

"Where is everyone else" I asked as I expected his family to be at home but it was too empty.

"It's just me and mom, she out of town for two days" he said and I nodded not enquiring anything further.

When I was going to close the door he stopped the door with his hand, "You sure, you don't want me to join" He said with a huge smirk.

"That's the last thing I want" I said and pushed him out and closed the door.

Shubman's t-shirt was too big on me but it was really comfortable so I didn't had any problem and shorts were a little loose but that was fine.

I came out and was going down to the living room when I passed by a door where five letters were hung decorated beautifully "SHANU"

I had an urge to open the door and look inside what it was or who Shanu was, but I ignored the thought and walked downstairs.

I was still not sure if I took the right decision to stay here when I barely knew Shubman. Back then I would have gone to Aditi or Sid's house but seeing now I had no choice.

When I thought about it I realized Shubman was the only person whom I had closest to a friend and when I saw his house all quite and empty, I didn't felt much difference than mine.

I walked in the living room quietly when Shubman was sitting on sofa and he was too much engrossed in something and I went near without him knowing and peered over his shoulder from the back and I was shocked to see that he was drawing.

"Is that a rose" I asked from behind and he jumped off the sofa looking at me clutching the notepad close to his chest.

"Shit! You scared me" he said making a very much scared face and I couldn't control my laughter. "Aise kaun ata hai yrr chudail ki tarha" he shouted scared.

"Why are you laughing" he asked making a straight face.

"Your... face.. Aisa lgra hai... tumne bhoot dekh liya" I said between my laughs.
