FF: illumination in the darkness

Illumination in the Darkness

It was gloomy day, as grayish as a mist that covered the mountaintops like a carpet, as dull as a science lecture. There was a man standing alongside the window overlooking at the people wandering around. His one hand holding a painting brush and the other gasping a paint pallet. He stared at the white painting board with his light brown eyes. He then subsequently looked around his chamber. His whole chamber in plain black with his bed sheet in white and unwrinkled. He turned the radio on and harks to the classic music. With his eyes closed, an image of a young lady flashed through his mind. He placed the brush on the painting board and started to paint. He made a portrait of a young woman with long silky brown hair, her eyes as brown as a nut, her smile so magical that if someone caught a glimpse of it, they will eventually start smiling. Dressed in a white frock, she looked liked a guardian angel. He gazed outside the window, it was getting dim; hearing a knock on the door, he accordingly run towards the doorway and unlock the door. He saw a beautiful young lady standing in front of him; it was none other than the lady he portrayed.

Khushi: excuse me sir, could you please lower down the volume of the music? I am trying to sleep here and you are disturbing me.

He did not reply instead he was thunderstruck, he couldn't believe his eyes. He was looking at the woman who he just portrayed but does not know her at all.

Khushi: excuse me mister, I am talking to you! Wait, are you new here? I never saw you here before.

Arnav: Yap I moved in today.

Khushi: okay but even if you are new here, it doesn't give you the right to disturb your neighbours.

Arnav: excuse me?

Khushi: I am talking about the music, could you please lower down the volume of the radio?

Arnav: oh, ya sure why not.

Khushi: thanks. By the way I'm Khushi

Arnav: I'm Arnav, your new neighbour

Khushi: okay goodnight

Arnav: goodnight

He gave a smirk and closed the door.

It was dead of the night, Khushi all of a sudden heard someone shriek. Swiftly running outside, she heard the scream coming from her new neighbour's house. She smack on his door with the palm of her hand. All at once, everything was in a pin drop silence. He opened the door with force and stared at her. He was sweating and his mouth was shivering.

Khushi: Are you okay?

Arnav: Ya...Ya I'm fine

Khushi: Are you sure? I just heard someone screaming out loud.

Arnav: No, maybe it's your imagination or maybe you had a nightmare

Khushi: No, I'm sure I heard it

Arnav: I'm sorry Khushi but this time you are disturbing me

Khushi: I'm sorry, maybe it's really my imagination

Arnav: Ya, I think you need rest

Khushi: okay goodnight and I'm sorry

Arnav: it's okay and goodnight

He was closing the door when he heard Khushi murmuring to herself.

Khushi: weird person'.

Arnav: excuse me?

Khushi: nothing, goodnight

He gave a fake smile and closed the door
