It was early morning, or some might say night, it was 3:15 am. I opened my eyes, pondering the events of a week ago in the Middle world. Well, I will say I was curious about how the world works. But, Tis forgot to visit me the past week, I started to think again if this was all truth. Then I closed my eyes once more to trying to fall asleep again...
Thud (loud)
My eyes snapped open in a reflex as soon as my ears caught the thud sound... I considered going to check, but it's not a horror movie, so why bother? I was certain it came from the bathroom side... I was still thinking with my eyes barely open... I was deciding whether to be the main character of a horror movie or keep acting like I am still asleep so that even if the ghost comes to my room, he will think I am asleep.
Thud (loud again)
I reflexively sat up on my bed.
"Hey"........whispered Tis
"Aaaaaaaaa, as I turned my head towards him, I told you not to do that...."(shocked)
"So what should I do, idiot, you weren't paying attention to my hints"
"Hints? What?" I inquired
Those bricks... I threw them", He proudly stated
"What the... Are you kidding me? ha........ I scoffed, wait, you can't touch anything...... right?"
He nodded but........" I can do this"......
The bottle near my bed flew into the air and then dropped...... I watched in shock
"What? Wow........ Can I do that too?"
I asked eagerly as I touched the band on my head
"No... you can't", he replied in a serious tone.
"Oh"... I responded sadly..." Where were you all this time?"
"I located some Nome locations while tracking its path, we should head there"
"Now?"
"Yes, of course"
"What, at night?"
"Do you think your mom would allow you to go alone during the day?"
"Oh... yes, but wait, I should change", I said as I took a step and turned on the lights.
"Change ? Are we heading to a party?"
"Wait... what if my parents awake?"
"So what, they won't even notice."
"No, they will discover my absence and then scold me later... it will be terrible"
"Ha"! He mocked that "they won't wake up if you hurry quickly........."
"Can't I just teleport?"
"No, we will be walking..."
But where?
It's close.
"I nodded as I opened my wardrobe of clothes..."
We have no time to waste... Tis implied.
A green cloud surrounded me quickly, and I started swinging behind him...
"Wait... tis..". I shouted at him.
"Scream and your parents will wake up", he whispered.
I scoffed as I realized I had no other option.
He let me down as I opened the locks and went to the street, he hovering over me.
"So, what now? Where?"
"Turn on your Hucia.".. He commanded.
I nodded.......".okay."........as I touched my forehead to the band on my wrist
And suddenly, there it was - the green heavenly-looking stairs leading upwards... not reaching the sky, just two steps. The dark green bright stairs, just two steps away from my slippers, as if commanding me to ascend them.
"Step on it"....Tis looked at me and commanded
O-Okay...As I tried to step on it.....I did it...I was standing on that stair....a inch above to the ground...to the earth on that mysterious stair
Keep walking onwards.... Tis commanded once more.
"What? How? There are only two steps......"
"Keep walking, they will pave your path... they lead to the middle world and you can travel anywhere on them from the sky"
As I placed my feet on the second one "Is this real ?......"
I experienced a force........a force similar to the one on the day I first met Tis...My right leg took a phantom step in the air...I found myself suspended in the air..........wow ...my eyes brightened as I took another step.......It felt as if I was walking on the ground but in reality, it was the sky I began to run...with stars in my eyes.........It was the freedom that even the cages of myself yearned for.
Hey.. hey... here, here... as I followed him from a different angle he turned. I ran behind him above the ground level as he flew... in the sky, the houses didn't appear small as in movies... because I wasn't that high up... It was still dark. I ran behind him with the biggest smile and the biggest heart in my chest.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyNwtVBdO2
He stopped and gazed at me. I returned his gaze, captivated by his beautiful emerald eyes.
"Why are you thinking about that Ayaan guy at this moment?" Tis inquired in a serious tone.
I paused abruptly. "What...oh, were you reading my mind...?"
"Answer me. Why is that guy still on your mind? Are humans really that foolish?" He questioned, drawing nearer to me.
Humans are not foolish, but those in love can be. I just thought about the actions I did because of him and felt nothing but regret. It wasn't about him.
"What exactly did you do?" he inquired, resting his chin on his hands as he settled into the seat.
I gazed at him. "I never imagined you would ask me that. I assumed you knew," I replied.
"No, someone else had been handling your information before me"... Tis responded.
"Oh, should I narrate the entire story?" I inquired, gazing downward.
"Sit and do tell me. I will be here with you for a while, so I ought to learn about you, correct?" He replied
I settled on the breezy ground in the sky and began recounting the things I did in the name of love.
"It happened about two years ago. After passing my eighth grade and being the top in my class, my teachers praised me in front of my parents. They even mentioned that if I continued working hard, I could potentially top the school in the upcoming board exam. This thought kept me happy throughout the day. When I returned home, I enjoyed my favorite meal and took a relaxing nap. I was actually......"
"Hey, can we skip to the good part?" Tis was said in a bored tone.
"Fine, just listen and don't interrupt"...I replied
"So I was happy that day and after my noon nap I went to the roof for some air...and that's when I saw him..." Ayaan Mishra" ...him in his cycle with his brother in the back seat...My eyes did their full stop on him as he stopped his cycle and drank water.......my body statued as I stared at him and my stomach did that thing......And then that asshole looked up straight at me.........I blushed like a fool.....that eye contact was just for a few seconds but it ruined my years. That was my first mistake. Then as time passed .I kept thinking about him and suddenly realized that he lives near my house. I could even see his house and roof from mine, although not very clearly....When he came up to the roof, I would sneak a look. I burned my feet for that fool in the heat of June's summer. He would water the plants, and I would study there....in the month of june...in Varanasi.. just to catch a glimpse of him. Months passed, and I kept stealing glances, unbeknownst to him. I eventually learned his name and discovered he had a younger brother and the usual pair of parents, everyone has them and that his brother was a year younger and they both attended the school across from ours. That school was..."
"Wait...did I ask you to tell me about his school? Tell me, how did you hurt yourself like this? " Tis asked in a slightly harsh tone
I looked at him, okay, he was worried about his student. I never expected that from him. He smiled faintly, he knew what I was thinking.
I continued...97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf61FWyi8bf
"So yeah, I kept following him from a distance for a whole year...listening to songs, thinking of him ,I was pretty sure he liked me too as by the half of class ninth he used to bless my delusions by those eye contacts and you know... I discovered he has his own group of friends, so I playfully named them THE BOYS...as he was always with them and I was very fond of him and his cute habits. But then one day I saw him with a guy from my school...and then I realized that he - that guy from my school, had moved in across from Ayaan's house. They soon became best friends and it became difficult for me to admire him from a distance because Nishkarsh, he was popular in my school, he was in a different section but same class. I never spoke to him directly, but I knew he was not a good influence. Both Ayaan and Nishkarsh had a lot of crowd behind them it was a fact. Up until then, I knew that Ayaan was not a scholar, or maybe not average either...He was a low scorer, the only thing I hated about him. But like every girl does, I ignored the poison in the most poisonous flower and obsessed myself with its petals. He is incredibly handsome and he knows it"
" Hey, could you please wrap it up? "Tis stopped me mid-sentence.
"Okay-okay , so I continued to admire him and learn about him, and by the time my ninth-grade class concluded, I felt ashamed to admit that I knew everything there was to know about him"
"Oh my goodness, that was some serious stalking, "Tis said in jest.
"It's only the beginning," ...I stated
"It's not his fault he despises you", he answered
"So, In the starting months of class 10th I was busy as hell but after some months I got to him again...........I came to know that ,He and his boys had an anstagram group and not only his boys but like 30-40 boys and he knew all of them......okay I got to know about it when I eavesdropped Nishkarsh and his friend in a school fest when I was preparing my speech and they were fixing the mic. So I decided to make a move"
"Hell no way!.....Don't tell me that he tossed away a love letter or something you gave him" Showing curiosity in the narrative, Tis inquired
I said in a dejected manner, "I wish I had only done that."
"But I made an anstagram id with a boy's name .......don't ask me the name I won't tell you . Then I watched videos on Toutube about how to use anstagram then I did my second big mistake I messaged Nishkarsh because his profile was public,so with all my courage and life on the line...I tried to convince him that I was one of his friends' friend he didn't know about, because I wanted to get in that group to talk to Ayaan but that Nishkarsh kept talking to me about his daily life crisis I was devasted and wanted to end him but then after some time he added me there and I was happy but nervous too, I thought of stopping it all but My heart didn't let me........There were 37 boys in that group and I only knew Ayaan, Nishkarsh and Ayaan's brother Arth and the funny thing is that they didn't knew me well, I was so nervous and embarrassed of myself but my heart didn't stop so I couldn't..."
"Girl, you are so foolish. Instead of acting like such a creep, you should have just gone up to him immediately.I know what happened after that, He scoffed
" You're absolutely right, I ought to have spoken with him. If only I had a bit more bravery, I wonder what might happen" I replied
"No, nothing would have changed because that guy despised you from the start."Tis concluded
" He didn't, instead, he gave me every hint he could. He maintained eye contact for about fifteen seconds, and I even caught him stealing glances at me". With a determined expression, I spoke.
"You are so delusional... He hates you... That settles it"97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVOnaFcFeD
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8fQqqbHom
"Why would he? I only did so much, shouldn't he be the one I should despise... The events that followed were much worse". I responded.
I understand, and you ended up being the victim of the crime you were supposed to be the culprit for, Tis sighed and said.
