DARK SOUL'S: The Story You Started

ETHAN

We were having a great time together as I wanted it to be. Turned out, she’s really easy to talk with but I’ll never get over with the thought what she’s hiding with me.
We were working together for hours a day. Sometimes At her home sometimes at mine.
She stirred in her sleep, She’s exhausted and slept on the couch. I was exhausted too but not that much.
“ Ishita, Wake up,” I said softly, she frowns but hasn’t opened her eyes. Is she having another nightmare?
I called her again and her eyes fluttered open.
“ You okay?” I asked. She sits up. And tried to compose herself with steady breaths.
I was really worried about her but I didn’t know how to deal with her. She’s not that open up with me yet.
I waited patiently for her to say something and she nodded. Really! That’s the last thing I want right now.
“ Will you please say something true for once?” I gripped my hair. It’s all written over her face that she’s having something in her mind and yet she has that audacity to lie with me on my face.
She looked down and I cupped her face with my hands. No! Today I’ll know everything I wanted to know.
I kneel down in front of her and force her to look at me.
“ What was that, why you are lying with me. Just tell me”
“Can we go outside, I can’t breathe in here” Finally! She said something, I’ll do everything to hear that out. I took her hand and literally dragged her out.
We sat there on the porch directly across from the sea. It’s her favourite place to be.
“ It was something I don’t know,” She said coldly, I crooked my neck to look at her. What does that mean she didn’t know?
“ What does that mean?” I asked.
“ No! There’s always dark, sometimes my dad calling me to come and he’s in pain, Sometimes there are only dark and wailing noises, and sometimes just dark or beyond dark which is trying to drag me in.” She said and looked at me. I couldn’t reply to her right away and thankfully she continued.
“ You’ll think I’m some type of crazy person. who needed help, Right! But trust me that thing never goes away.” She turned her head to look at the sea.
I was cemented in place and trust me I felt goose bumps all over my body. That was the hell thing. I had never once thought it’ll be that deep.  There are no words I have in my mouth to soothe her. But I’ll try.
“  No! I will never think this way of you. Ishita, I know you’ve had dark past and you are trying to get over with that. But don’t ruin your life with these things.” She looked at me and smiled it didn’t reach her eyes. And I don’t want to give her any sympathy.
We sat there just like that, And it just us. We will finish this together. And I’ll tell her everything I have in my mind.
