"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. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYFhF7xmWp
"I should have agreed with my friend to have not gone on this date." He muttered. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBGhVMBSYh
"I heard that!" She bellowed, but it was more comical than expected. Josh chuckled. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdhtt6Ps66
"The gay freak can’t decide whether you come on this date or not, or else I would’ve perished." 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnAxplwNB6
“Hey! Don’t call him that, will ya’?” 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqEBdxFpWf
“Sorry. But I stick to my point.” She said. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxOwisjosB
“And what’s that?” He replied in a strained voice. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9EbAKCJvt
“That I really like you Dumbo!” She said with a mischievous laugh, running deeper into the forest. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YH7M2tcnJ
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGDqlfhJ6W
“Why did you want a date in the forest?” She asked curiously, walking over the thick weeds and vines, Josh following close behind her.549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbPvShM1ry
“Why not? It’s Halloween, no better thing to do on a Halloween’s day, is it?” 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNtDyRbc2O
“You can stay at home and eat cake...” she said in a suggestive, gentle voice. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahSXJQdv0j
“Nah!” He said after thinking the cake over. “I’d choose nightmarish forest.” 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKGWmxGp7U
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMpgjbXzxY
They walked for a while or so, talking. They weren’t sure what they were talking, but they were discussing stupid things.549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVd4GQwL55
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. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbP7Vm0cHh
“So, what are you doing in America?” He asked. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBlAD6AIBu
“My step-father lives here; You wouldn’t expect my mother to say no to living in America.” 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp06prYyqh1
“Why not?” 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV5HB9TX5A
“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.” 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZheENQX1H
“In other words, attractive.” She said, and it was very clear that she was blushing even if it was dark. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRds4ydP5Yl
“Eh. I guess.” He said softly. “And sassy.” He added. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKpiJEF3pS
“But what makes me even more curious is why.” 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNRMCfn2X4
“Why...what?” She asked, squinting to look ahead of the fog. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv37ymO9rP
“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!” 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7vkJW461p
Josh decided he didn’t want to ask what a chapati was, and walked ahead besides her. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F7G1RmqBu
“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. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsgvtvsg5B
“Indeed.” He said in amaze. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMGDBHxBUW
“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.549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC98HKgV2b
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHyBJud2Pw
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? 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuQxmqolb1
“What in the name of effing Christ was that?!” 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuY4UM9G7E
“I have no idea.” Josh said dumbfoundedly. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY3cEjLs6P
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. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM6FQoyRMC
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. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElF5I5CF3z
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. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBL6kwaU6h
“You really are as unexpected as they say, aren’t you?” 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRsWNHgqgn
“Depends on who’s saying it.” She said, panting. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bCIHmVqNI
That’s when the two dumb heads realised there was a glass window at the back. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3lDBeoJvb
“Hey! We can break it with that stool!” She suggested. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCm8ljtbC8
549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sGQFQrg7f
Lata looked at the ring on her finger, smiling to herself. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZWx6rLUt6
“Oi. Josh.” She said, calling him to sit beside her. Without hesitation, he sat down. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipEWth0mgM
“Do you remember our first date?” 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtTTLPBpLq
“As scary as it was, yes I remember it very clearly.” 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7umf6oiAXi
“I still can’t believe we got out of that forest. It seems so unreal now...”. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ws6k0cFc1
“I assure you, it was very real.” He said, planting a kiss on her cheek. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5wlsEMr2W
“That was 11 years ago. I still can’t believe it’s tomorrow, the biggest day of my life!” 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rkYPkqMmv
“How are you feeling?” He asked, awaiting her response. 549Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUAnRsyQ1A
“In love.”
