Falling for her

#Chapter-18

Ifza's pov :

This long and everlasting day finally came to an end. It's past the midnight and all the sequences of my miserable life and scariest dreams and reality possessed my sleep routine.

I decided to offer the night prayers. It feels so safe and soothing when you bow down infront of your lord and cries your heart out.

~Quran 40:60

And your Lord says,

"Call upon me ; I will respond to you."

After completing the prayers and recitation of salutations and Duas, I felt my heart at ease.

Later I stood at the window looking at the bluish black sky and the fading moon, feeling the peaceful wind blowing through my heavy thoughts.

For a moment I forgot what I was going through until I saw him, staring at me with his eyes wide open. I don't know why his eyes always catches mine as they are waiting for mine to make a contact with them.

"Ruhaan?" I whispered. He was standing near the tree where I first learned he's not a human. While I was still standing at window. I know he could listen the whisper standing afar.

"Hello Gorgeous!" he played his favourite grin on his lips.

"Can we talk?" I asked.

I recalled his story about the past and the way he begged for me to trust him, it made my heart sank in sorrow. The people who look strong, confident and fearless, God knows what they're hiding behind their face masks.

I jumped out of skin when he whispered "I'm right here" in my ear, standing behind me.

I completely forgot about his teleporting abilities. He really needs to stops getting disappeared and reappearing thing. It scares the hell outta me.

"Was that necessary?"  I screamed stomping on the floor.

"No Gorgeous, that was easy" he replied winking at me.

"you know, the perks of being a-"

"A GHOST?" I said interrupting him.

"I'm NOT. A. GHOST." he wailed gritting his teeth.

"Huh? When a person is back from the dead, if not ghost what do you call him? A Dinosaur?"  I said mockingly.

There was a sudden change in his playful mood. His cheeks became red. This is the moment where I should really get scared of him but I don't know what's wrong with my utterly confident guts. They pop up at the wrong time infront of the wrong person. I instead stood upright glaring right into his eyes and pissing his nerves even more.

"You know what, your right, I'm a GHOST. And this is what a ghosts does." his foul mood rendered back to his mischievous grin.

The lights of my room started flickering when he waved his hand in the air.

"What the hell are you doing?" I yelled.

"Living upto your expectations. Behaving like a ghost, Gorgeous." he lifted his another arm, moving a step towards me.  All the things in my room, were now floating around us.

With his stiffen gaze and vile smirk, he pinned me to wall in between his long muscular arms.

"Tough girl Haan? Trying so hard not be scared." he teased, enjoying my restlessness.
