Fear
Ishqi was shivering in her sleep. She wrapped the blanket closer, and continued to shake and grit her teeth.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
A loud voice of Ahaan woke her up. Ishqi instantly sat up and looked at the couch.
Ahaan, was standing on the couch, in utter fear, looking here and there on the floor.
"Are you possessed in the middle of the night?!" Ishqi almost screamed.
"I-i-i.." He couldn't form the sentence
"What i-i-i?!"
"T-there was- was a rat! I saw a rat! Its- its under, under the bed!" Ahaan somehow managed to speak.
"Huh?" Ishqi laughed and asked "So?"
"S-so what-? I- I don't like rats!" Still standing on the couch, he replied back in a firm tone, but failed horribly..
"You don't like them, or you fear them?" She smirked
It was about to be 3AM. The room was dark with just two orange lamps lighting the room, already giving a spooky vibe for Ahaan..
"Shut up, and get this rat out of here!" He shouted.
Angry, Ishqi replied -
"Oh, you shut-"
Something caught her eye. A small, grey, fluffy ball, running right out of her bed to under the nightstand. Within seconds, Ahaan's screams filled the room.
Ishqi laughed out loud-
"You made this room Antarctica, right? Now live with this rat! Good Night!"
and fell on the bed. Adjusting her self in the blanket, she fell into a peaceful sleep.
****
The sun rose.. There he was.. Still standing on the couch, looking at the nightstand, shivering in fear.
