"Are you catching up or what?" Shouted Charulata from a distance. Josh panted miserably, holding his breath for the future race this girl was going to make him run. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0PRktpGBM
"I should have agreed with my friend to have not gone on this date." He muttered. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRznprJMh0
"I heard that!" She bellowed, but it was more comical than expected. Josh chuckled. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk44RiqSmiM
"The gay freak can’t decide whether you come on this date or not, or else I would’ve perished." 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNiWwFtSMS
“Hey! Don’t call him that, will ya’?” 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwGkhsUa3V
“Sorry. But I stick to my point.” She said. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc8p4J5Hfa
“And what’s that?” He replied in a strained voice. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C9LCgoD9o
“That I really like you Dumbo!” She said with a mischievous laugh, running deeper into the forest. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmUHHOXQz8
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ525wpi6BjV
“Why did you want a date in the forest?” She asked curiously, walking over the thick weeds and vines, Josh following close behind her.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAdnH9KoYy
“Why not? It’s Halloween, no better thing to do on a Halloween’s day, is it?” 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69qbDW2VOO
“You can stay at home and eat cake...” she said in a suggestive, gentle voice. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXuoHZ5aaZ
“Nah!” He said after thinking the cake over. “I’d choose nightmarish forest.” 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MyAdfIVuB
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnRtxeyAub
They walked for a while or so, talking. They weren’t sure what they were talking, but they were discussing stupid things.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzxlbr5heE
Josh wondered on how he ended up from walking her from class to walking her into a haunted forest leading to an abandoned castle. Ah. Yes it was her British accent that allured him to it. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzepFySzwf
“So, what are you doing in America?” He asked. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XTkSy5Ecg
“My step-father lives here; You wouldn’t expect my mother to say no to living in America.” 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4e56WjSfs
“Why not?” 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwl0HuBxvV
“I-I,” She paused and looked up at him. “I literally have no idea.” He laughed at her comedic way of responding to things. She really was the one girl he’d been interested in. It was like some prophecy had told him that she was his should mate (that prophet being a crooked guy who was his best friend)
”You always seem so broad minded and strong.” 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CjVkNkHig
“In other words, attractive.” She said, and it was very clear that she was blushing even if it was dark. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iUavKZOiX
“Eh. I guess.” He said softly. “And sassy.” He added. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPfBccy4eE
“But what makes me even more curious is why.” 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXYtqrxqJq
“Why...what?” She asked, squinting to look ahead of the fog. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVKt1HniPF
“Why are you so hard and straightforward?” He heard a sigh from ahead of him, and he held his breath awaiting her answer.
”It’s difficult when you come from an Indian family and suddenly you have to move to America. I’m bound to get bullied; boy, I got a few swear words today morning for bringing a chapati to school!” 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBex1pVQ8PT
Josh decided he didn’t want to ask what a chapati was, and walked ahead besides her. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVWhZ89ll4
“Top ten worst first-date-in-a-haunted-forest topics to talk about...” he muttered, following Lata’s scoff.
“Wow!” Cried Lata, staring at the broken down monument with unclouded flabbergast. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV6wgxsFw2
“Indeed.” He said in amaze. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxe9LKfjgJ
“Wanna go in?” Prompted she. He beamed at her excitement, sliding his hand into hers. She felt the warmth in his hands and she smiled to herself. This is the best date ever! She thought.412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpaWXIMFsc
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr4VI0j5Yz
There was a scream, a loud one that too. Where you would barely expect any sound, you have to hear a blood-curdling scream at that moment, don’t you? 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbd5K3R73b
“What in the name of effing Christ was that?!” 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldIboWaG9S
“I have no idea.” Josh said dumbfoundedly. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eNWHiao5I
They decided that this was the Halloween spirit, and walked on further to see where the scream came from. Suddenly—
BAM! The door slammed shut, leaving both to perish in a haunted castle. Lata gasped, but she still seemed excited. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY45LAUYCDx
There was that loud scream again, This time even louder. The room was getting colder, and there was a smell of rotting flesh filling up the place like water fills an empty bowl. Footsteps approached, getting louder from every moment, filling their hearts with fear. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH3kSwNIGK
Before the door could even open, Lata pulled Josh and pressed her lips tightly to his. His hands coiled round her waist, and she smiled. When they finally did let go, they were both smiling. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMBZGfNqWz
“You really are as unexpected as they say, aren’t you?” 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVkXEsDh2S
“Depends on who’s saying it.” She said, panting. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7c4DlkwWT
That’s when the two dumb heads realised there was a glass window at the back. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG4Yb8xTcM
“Hey! We can break it with that stool!” She suggested. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NCUgPxzMM
412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0edKbMVdbQ
Lata looked at the ring on her finger, smiling to herself. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfoiZMe5Ei
“Oi. Josh.” She said, calling him to sit beside her. Without hesitation, he sat down. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7LOOrUCEu
“Do you remember our first date?” 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2kzeKntNM
“As scary as it was, yes I remember it very clearly.” 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyqyk285qh
“I still can’t believe we got out of that forest. It seems so unreal now...”. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofo5koXs2l
“I assure you, it was very real.” He said, planting a kiss on her cheek. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOIjWE3goR
“That was 11 years ago. I still can’t believe it’s tomorrow, the biggest day of my life!” 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3Pw8DrZ3W
“How are you feeling?” He asked, awaiting her response. 412Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4suD2HEEs
“In love.”
