I was at Ronak's house as we had a sleepover. His parents were out of town so he invited me for a sleepover. Actually,the main reason is that he is scared to go washroom at night. He thinks that the ghosts with attack him.

Means So childlike!

Yesterday,I literally had to stand at the door of washroom and had to talk to him  to ensure him that if the ghosts would come to attack him,I would fight with them. Like if they really are,then they would leave me🤷.

Now,It was morning and we both were starving. We both didn't know how to cook. If we will try then we would surely make the kitchen a mess and about eating out in restaurants ,we don't have enough money. We have already spent all the money  Yesterday. Just then his phone rang. He attended it. After attending it,he turned to me with a wide smile on his face.

"Bro"

"Yeah,go on"

"We are no more dyin'."

"What?"I asked confused.

"Khane ka intezaam ho gya"

"Sach m?"I asked not believing.

"Yeah, Mere friend ka ek friend h. Today is his birthday. So we are going in his birthday party."

I looked happily at him but he continued.

"But,but the party is  at birthday boy's home." He said.

"Khana milega na?" I asked.

He nodded.

"Bas,to aur kya chahiye! ..life set h boss."

He agreed with me.

I hugged him happily and we both shouted
"We r no more dyin'. "

We both got ready in casuals and paved our way towards the birthday boy' s home. We even don't know the birthday boy's name but why do we care,we r getting food without any effort. So what else do we need?!!.

We reached there. It was a small house like ours so we assumed that they are middle class and Ronak's friend who was not my friend  but now he is as because of him,I am getting food. Never mind,I am a big foodie, introduced us to the birthday boy.

So finally,we got to know the name of the birthday boy.His name is Naksh.

Naksh and me shook hands.

After a while,Me and ronak attacked on food. Of course,we are here because of it. We were literally hogging on it.

Ohh!!The rasgulla was so delicious. It's taste melted in my mouth.

I was standing on the counter and was eating it. Then I took the nearby seat. The table was wobbly because when I kept my one hand on it. The glass bowl kept on it fell on the floor.

And Smash!!

Now,I am going to die. Everyone looked towards me and I smiled sheepishly. I looked towards Ronak.

He was glaring at me. Then I saw the parents of the birthday boy. They were trying to smile like nothing happened but Naksh's mom was trying so hard to control her anger. I gulped in fear. I stood up and bent to pick it up.

I have nothing to compensate it with. I know it was just a glass bowl but In middle class, these small things are so dearer to us.
I was about to pick it up that I saw a hand picking the glasses up.

I looked up and saw a girl. Her big brown eyes which were full of innocence. Her Angelic face.

Then I realized that I have created this mess. So I should do it.

I also started picking up the glass pieces but I was so busy admiring her that a glass pricked in my skin.

"Aah" I cried.

"Oh god" she took my hand in her.

"Aapko to kaanch lg gya h,Aap baithiye idhar. M abhi first aid laati hu."

She came running to me and sat beside me. All were busy in their stuffs and me too(in admiring her). It was hurting but the calmness I was getting in adoring her was beyond description.

She slowly took my hand and used the needle in taking out the glass. She was careful enough not to hurt me.

"Ahh"I cried as she tried to take out the glass.

"I am really sorry." Some tears made their way out of her eyes but I wiped them with my  thumb. At my action, she looked at me but then again continued the business.
(Note: they were in the corner so no one could see them😜)

She finally did it and looked at me worried.

"Are you fine?" She asked.

"Yes,I am absolutely fine. Thank You so much."

We looked in each others eyes deeply but our moment got interrupted by none other than my friend Ronak.

I doubt ,Is he my friend?

"Bro, let's go. It's time."

I nodded and looked towards her one more time and then went not before turning to look her. We both looked each other for some seconds and then I made my way out of the house but my heart started weaving some dreams. With her. Of her.

********************
I know the name is weird but can anyone guess from where I have taken it? 🤔🤔
