I don’t remember I laughed that hard in my whole life. He looked so cute in those pictures.
“Will you please stop now?” He said irritatingly. I’m really trying hard to concentrate on the work but failed miserably.
“ Sorry! But why're so angry, those pictures were cute” I wink at him.
“I swear Ishita If you won’t stop by now....
“ Will you wear them again then?” Mr. Nicole’s said from the door and we both laughed again. Oh my god, my sides are hurting now.
“ Dad!! Go away!” He raised on his feet and slammed the door on Mr. Nicole’s face.
Latter’s that we worked on presentations and I was exhausted.
“ Ishita, are you ready” Rishabh yelled from outside.
“ Yes! wait a minute”
“God, Ishu hurry up, we have to go there Navin is waiting for us”
“ I’m ready, don’t whine any further” I opened the door.
“What?” He was looking at me as if he saw some ghosts.
“ Nothing you look beautiful,” He said with flutter eyes, I rolled my eyes and slapped his arm. Always trying to be charming.
He laughed.
“ Why? Don’t you believe me? Opened your eyes girl” He placed his hand on his heart and faked hurt.
“ We're late, aren’t we?” I snapped, He rolled his eyes and start his car.
“What are you planning after college,” He asked not taking eyes off from the road.
“I’m thinking about PG and freelancing, Navin said he knows someone who’ll help with that!” I said with uncertainty, His jaw tensed with a frown and his body gone stiff.
“ What’s that?” I enquired and he shrugged. We reached the dorm and I don’t bother to ask him anything about what he is thinking about.
We wait for the elevator, it’s a cold breeze in here, thank god I chose hoodies.
“Come on,” He said as elevator doors opened and we entered.
It was just a five-floor building, and suddenly in the middle of the ride, it starts to shake.
“Rishabh, what’s that?” I get panicked.
“Relax! It must be an electricity issue” He tried to calm me down but I got panic as it shook again with more intensity.
“No! Something must be wrong Rish” I scream for help.
“Hey, Calm down I’m here” That damn thing stuck somewhere midway, and the door slid opened but, thank God we are safe, but it shook again.
Before I can think of anything, It slipped and Rishabh pushed me outside. I don’t know what and how to react,
“Rishabh!!!! No!!!!! No!!
I hold his hand tightly from outside but they slipped away.
“Rishabhhh!!! I screamed and then there’s only darkness. I tried to hold him, but now I couldn’t see him.“ Ishita wake up” I heard someone’s screaming
I open my eyes and I gasped for the breath,
“Hey,” Oh God it’s Ethan, it’s his home, That was a nightmare.
“Hey It’s Ok, Everything is fine” He holds me tight and brushed my tears away.
God, Have I lost? Why I am crying this way?
“ I’m okay” I shrugged his hand from my shoulder, He was watching at me intently, We were silent for a few minutes. He wanted to say something instead he sat there beside me and hold my hand.
“Ishita, were you have them frequently?” He enquired with uncertainty. I gulped and nod
“Was I screaming?” I wanted to know that thing, I really do! If I was screaming then it must be hard now then.
“No, No loudly but I was awake, You were tired and slept” was I tired, yes! But not that much, I didn’t get sleep this easily. What is it with me?
“For how long?” I inquired, he squeezes my hand.
“ Not more than an hour” I closed my eyes and rest my head against the bed frame. They’ll disappear one day! I’m a fool, I’m still hoping for this to fade away, Somehow I know they won’t.
“ Will you tell me what was that about, If you want to talk, besides I want to know”
“ That was the same thing, The lift-Me-Him, and then the darkness, You know that story already,” He nodded in acknowledgment.
“ Don’t worry, They’ll go away one day, And I’m here!” That is what I have been wishing this whole time.
“ There’s nothing you can do about that, besides I’m positive they’ll go” I could see the pain in his eyes, I don’t want to say anything harsh to him but I had to say those words, I don’t want him to be with me on this mission. He has his life to live happily with his ever after. He is losing his time and energy with my helpless crazy mind.
“ Go back to sleep,” He said politely. No matter how hard I try to offend him but the thing is he doesn’t say a word back, sure we have arguments, he yelled at me but there is nothing I could do to change his mind and his thoughts,
I glanced at the clock, It’s already midnight. Without saying anything I closed my eyes and prayed so that I could get some. I can feel his eyes on me.
And now I know, I can feel something in there more than concern about me.
I have to stay away from him.
