Sidharth, Shehnaaz and Jay are sitting Shehnaaz's room and watching a Punjabi film.
The whole room is dimmed light and the doors and windows are closed to give a thrill feel.

But the interesting part is that both Sidharth and Jay don't understand Punjabi but still they are watching it as Shehnaaz wanted to and she will feel scared all alone as it's a horror movie.

Sidharth was sleepy but agreed even then and Jay had already obliged to her demand and had taken his seat with popcorns in his hands.

Shehnaaz was on the left side of the bed, Jay in middle and Sidharth in extreme right side.

Sidharth was finding the movie very boring, the reasons were, firstly he was not able to interpret what exactly the characters were saying as they were talking in punjabi and secondly that movie, which was the most horror movie that could ever been made according to Shehnaaz, he was not finding that movie horror.

He was actually laughing in between seeing those horror scenes and consequently getting hard glares from the rest of the two who were probably enjoying that movie.

They were in the middle of the movie when Sidharth glanced at Jay and found him watching the film with such attention as if he was understanding each sentence that was being used.

Next he looked at Shehnaaz who was also totally indulged in the movie but she had squeezed her body to the smallest size and had clutched quilt to her chest.

Unknowingly a soundless chuckle left from his mouth seeing her.
She was so scared but even then she was willing to watch that so called horror movie completely.

As the movie proceeded, Shehnaaz shifted herself closer Jay who was apparently shifting himself closer to Sidharth.

Shehnaaz had already told them that the climax of the movie was based on real instances that the caste had witnessed during shooting and the movie also faced some problems in its release due to the scenes they shot in the climax.
So the most dangerous part was the Climax of the movie as it got some really horrible scenes.

"Um guys, I am sleepy and the movie is also very boring so I am leaving.
Agli baar Shehnaaz koi aisi movie dikhana Jo sach me horror ho, ye bacho wali nahi. Samjhi" Jay mocked as the movie proceeded to its ending.

"Abe end to dekh kar ja phir pata chalega sach me horror hai ya nahi" Shehnaaz teased him as he was clearly sweating.

"Saara mood kharab kar diya tune ye bhooto ke naam par cartoons dikha kar. Am going, bye"

"Un cartoons se to puch le kya pata unka bhi mood kharab ho gaya ho tujhe dekh kar" Sidharth chuckled while shehnaaz also laughed along with him.

"Abe uska per..(foot)" Sidharth nearly screamed as Jay after giving them a forced smile stood on the bed and put his leg just beside Shehnaaz's leg after crossing from her above.

"Dikh raha hai bhai, uske pero pe chadh nahi raha hu. Kuch zyada fikar nahi hai tujhe iski?" Jay grinned as he found another reason to annoy Sidharth.

"Tu jaa rha tha na, to jaa. Ya phir climax dekh kar hi jayega" Sidharth replied making Jay literally run out of the room.

Laughing at Jay, they both turned their heads towards the TV screen continuing the movie from where they had left.

The next was a cemetery scene and only silence could all be heard in that.
Not even a single person was visible on the screen just the graves with the fade sound of moving of trees.

Shehnaaz gulped at the view and slowly shifted closer to Sidharth.
Seeing her scared, Sidharth also moved to her side and she lightly held his bicep to give herself an assurance that he is with her in that moment.

Next, a shadow of a person who is very far from the screen is shown and within a blink, in a second, he comes just before the screen abruptly with a very horrifying music making Shehnaaz jump and scream in impulse as she got really frightened with that sudden appearance.

His face had a deep cut from his forehead leading to his cheek passing through his one eye and both of his eyes were totally white.
He had no pupil in his eyes. He had a wicked smile on his face giving him a very horrific look.

Sidharth was too fast holding her hand in his as she got goosebumps seeing that scene.

"Are you alright, ha? Are you alright" he asked leaning onto her and tightening his grip on her hands while she had her head dipped down.

A moment later he heard her sobbing and that's when he realized she got that scared that she started crying.

"Shehnaaz? Why you crying baba? It's just a movie.." he tried to make her relax but she was very frightened.

"Ok look at me. Shehnaaz meri taraf dekh" leaving her hand, he himself lifted her tear smitten face up and made her look at him.

"Sidharth I can't see it more.. meko darr lag raha hai. Please band kar de isse." she pouted at him in a crying tone but to him she looked immensely cute.

"Thik hai relax karo. Mai TV band kar deta hu" taking remote in his hand, he switched off the TV and then turned towards her who was digging her nails into his bicep and had her eyes tightly shut.

"Tujhe hi shok tha horror movie dekhne ka aur ab darr rahi hai" he tried to ease the situation by teasing her.

"To ab lagta hai darr to kya karu.."
She twisted her lips looking at him making him chuckle.

"Kuch mat kar. So jaa ab. Good night" hitting a pillow right on her face, Sidharth quickly get off the bed laughing while she took her time to interpret what just happened.

"Sidharth.. where are you going?" She asked as soon as she saw him moving.

"Apne room me. Ab teri tarah bhooto se baate to nahi karunga na" he replied controlling his laughter.

"Matlab. Meri tarah bhooto se.." she instantly questioned him back.

"Haa. Ab tere room me movie aisi dekhi gayi hai to ab yaha bhoot ayenge na" biting his inner cheeks he looked at her face who clearly looked scared at extreme.

"Nahi.." she unexpectedly shrieked.
"Tu kahi nahi jayega..tu issi room me rahega aaj" jumping off the bed, she pulled him along with her holding his elbow and took him to back to the bed.

"Kyu? Mai kyu rukunga tere room me?" He asked holding her hand as she climbed on the bed and was pulling him too.

"Meko bhoot Kha jayenge.." she said pouting and the laughter he was controlling till now made its way and he started laughing like a maniac holding his stomach.

Shehnaaz looked at him astonishingly biting her nails as he was really scaring her even more than the movie did.

"Sidharth?" She called out his name in a low voice clutching the bedsheet but he continued his laughing looking at her terrified face.

"Kya ho gaya tujhe?"
"Tu meko Dara raha hai" She whispered looking at him at the verge of crying and clutching the quilt upto her chest.

Somehow controlling his laughter , he looked back at her and again chuckled seeing her frightened face.

"Chal so ja ab" taking a step towards her, he said while she was still looking at him wondering how was he again behaving normally.

"Bol waheguru" she said still in daze.
"Why?" He asked confusingly.
"Poora bol" she said as she thought he only said half the word that is wahe making him laugh out aloud one more time.

"Chal good night" he dismissed her further questions and demands but she held his hand making him stop and turn back to her.

"Please yahi so ja. Meko darr lagega" she requested to him.

It happens when we see something horrible or we just conversate about something scary, we actually start imagining those fearsome things around us.
We feel that someone is keeping a watch on us or there is someone under the bed or sleeping just beside us on the same bed.
At that time, even the sound of clock make us frighten and the only option that gives us a little moral support is to just close your eyes and cover yourself fully with a quilt.

"Abhi to mujhse hi darr rahi thi. Ab mere se nahi lagega darr?" He teased her more as he was enjoying this scared Shehnaaz.

"Nahi. Tujhse nahi lagega.."
"Kyu?"

"Kyunki mujhe pata hai tu mujhe kabhi harm nahi karega. You won't hurt me" she speak with immense trust in her eyes that for a moment made Sidharth wonder how deeply she trusts him.

"Ab please aaja" she pulled his hand and this time he obliged without any other question.

Both laid on the bed with Sidharth on right side and Shehnaaz on left, gazing at the ceiling.

Sidharth turned his face towards Shehnaaz who was mumbling something fiddling with her fingers and cracking them in between.
He understood that she was still nervous as those pictures that made her frighten were still on her mind and she won't be able to sleep this way all night.

"Come here" extending his hand, he made place for her and she shifted closer to him understanding what he meant.

Keeping her head on his chest, she wrapped her hand around his stomach and closed her eyes after kissing his chest.

Putting his one leg on hers, he caged her both legs under him and wrapped his one hand around her shoulder and held her hand which was wrapped around his torso with his other one.

Soon sleep took over Shehnaaz as she found her solace. If you would ask her, she will say this night will be the best one till now of her entire life as when she closed her eyes, she felt the soft music of his heartbeats which was making her smile even in her sleep.
Moreover, being in his arms, which were tightly holding onto her, she felt protected and safe. Nobody could harm her when he's with her.
She didn't know what relation they share, but she had read his eyes which recited her his unspoken words.

Exploring her mind and soul, she had uncovered the mysteries of her feelings and a wave of happiness rushed through her body when she realized she loves him.
" You've fallen in love with Sidharth" her heart screamed to the loudest wearing each cell and nerve of her body.

Caressing her face with his eyes, he absorbed her every feature into him.
She was asleep but with him, even sleep was playing hide and seek just like he was playing with his emotions and feelings towards her.

Everytime her touch fondle him, he feels as if she is touching his soul.
He was unknowingly walking on the path whose destination was her only.
His every step was taking him to her.
The feel he was experiencing with her in his arms was beyond explanation.

When her lips touched his chest, his heartbeats raised which she didn't feel but he did.

"Kya mujhe sach me Ishq ho gaya hai"
His mind frequently asked him but never got the answer or maybe he didn't wanted to let himself love her.
He did not deserves her.
She is too good to be his.

He will not let her fall for him more.
He decided.

But he didn't know,one can't control love. He needs to understand that this love would heal him rather destroying her.
