"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. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJWJVgCK8S
"I should have agreed with my friend to have not gone on this date." He muttered. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLynj7wbkfd
"I heard that!" She bellowed, but it was more comical than expected. Josh chuckled. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhZbBKfjBy
"The gay freak can’t decide whether you come on this date or not, or else I would’ve perished." 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtCZ0ho7fB
“Hey! Don’t call him that, will ya’?” 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUrnWfKp6H
“Sorry. But I stick to my point.” She said. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZld4QgLvOh
“And what’s that?” He replied in a strained voice. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmazoBwzxyX
“That I really like you Dumbo!” She said with a mischievous laugh, running deeper into the forest. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lsfWJC4zw
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd8KP9GOXD
“Why did you want a date in the forest?” She asked curiously, walking over the thick weeds and vines, Josh following close behind her.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jobd1TpuU
“Why not? It’s Halloween, no better thing to do on a Halloween’s day, is it?” 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYlJOHF8GI
“You can stay at home and eat cake...” she said in a suggestive, gentle voice. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SfCBl1WaT
“Nah!” He said after thinking the cake over. “I’d choose nightmarish forest.” 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1uE6VybHc
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdBREgwCiv
They walked for a while or so, talking. They weren’t sure what they were talking, but they were discussing stupid things.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqtIaKuZub
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. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KCY8sVjeB
“So, what are you doing in America?” He asked. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0aV7YU7ix
“My step-father lives here; You wouldn’t expect my mother to say no to living in America.” 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyv9d8mZ0y
“Why not?” 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pOS5ZzEEc
“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.” 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaErT8gBDS1
“In other words, attractive.” She said, and it was very clear that she was blushing even if it was dark. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xdUESwe6d
“Eh. I guess.” He said softly. “And sassy.” He added. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxcJtcYMej
“But what makes me even more curious is why.” 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpuJkhiyXp
“Why...what?” She asked, squinting to look ahead of the fog. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV67RbJrrI
“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!” 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBJhvPClhB
Josh decided he didn’t want to ask what a chapati was, and walked ahead besides her. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP97TlkPp9A
“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. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQzh2fpu3D
“Indeed.” He said in amaze. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohVgveiw5o
“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.406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0G51Zatwp
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHFZWklcGK
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? 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF8kyTl9Tk
“What in the name of effing Christ was that?!” 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk4knwa471
“I have no idea.” Josh said dumbfoundedly. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdosuBOqqKt
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. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglTM6thMij
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. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjm1ozWzQl
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. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVvvywtlsY
“You really are as unexpected as they say, aren’t you?” 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dXQtoQNJZ
“Depends on who’s saying it.” She said, panting. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3TG1asEam
That’s when the two dumb heads realised there was a glass window at the back. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWSClpf7ct
“Hey! We can break it with that stool!” She suggested. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv5ei3xBmg
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ4cbxhbNP
Lata looked at the ring on her finger, smiling to herself. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaKpDuhMQ0
“Oi. Josh.” She said, calling him to sit beside her. Without hesitation, he sat down. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBulrD4hxnI
“Do you remember our first date?” 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDa15iBmhz
“As scary as it was, yes I remember it very clearly.” 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4khvvRZ0D
“I still can’t believe we got out of that forest. It seems so unreal now...”. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcyFoub1ew
“I assure you, it was very real.” He said, planting a kiss on her cheek. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPrzydRLdO
“That was 11 years ago. I still can’t believe it’s tomorrow, the biggest day of my life!” 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1M6Ryobgg
“How are you feeling?” He asked, awaiting her response. 406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEXWl2JKdm
“In love.”
