Chapter 35

IVY

I peeked at the wall clock which was in front of me and found it indicating 2 in the morning.

I looked here and here but couldn’t find anyone.

Strange!!

I was about to turn back when again a shattering sound came startling me.

I turned around and opened the door slightly trying not to make any noise and entered inside.

The room was looking like a complete mess.

All the things were scattered here and there.

Just then I noticed Fredrick sitting on the floor beside his bed.

Again a flash roared outside and I saw his hand shivering.

This continued until I sat beside him on the floor and intertwining my hand with his shivering one.

He looked at me shocked.

“What are you doing here?” He shouted.

Seems he didn’t want anyone to see his miseries.

“I am here with you. Don’t worry.’ I said politely looking at our intertwined fingers.

“I don’t need you. Just get out” he shouted again pointing at door.

I stood up and after giving him a last glance I went towards the door.

He heard the door locking and thought that I left but his notion faded away when after locking the door I again sat beside him.

“I am not leaving you here alone. ” I said and he glared at me.

“I said, I don’t need you…”

“Shut up! Just shut up! Why do you have to be this egoistic every time? Everyone has their own fears. What is wrong in it if you are afraid of thunderstorms and flashes?” I shouted interrupting him

FREDRICK

I was afraid that she will make joke of me but instead I saw concern in her eyes.

I felt quite and didn’t say anything.

I looked at her who again intertwined our fingers.

She smiled politely and I averted my gaze.

Again a flash roared and I shut my eyes closed.

I felt a slight squeeze on my hand and found her looking at me with assuring smile.

I leaned back putting my head on bed edge.

Moments passed with us sitting like this when I felt something moving behind my head.

I opened my eyes quickly and saw her who quickly cupped my face and made me lay on her lap.

My head almost fell on her lap.

“What the hell you are trying to do?” I glared at her trying to get up but she made me lay again with my head on her lap by pushing me back with her hands on my chest.

“Lay down. I will make you feel peaceful by caressing your hair. ” she said.

“No I don’t want..”

“Please” she pleaded and I laid back cursing.

She started caressing my hair and massaging my head.

A flash roared outside and I shut my eyes tightly.

She kept massaging my head, Moments passed in silence.

Rain and flashes had stopped long ago and I even forgot about them.

“I am not afraid of thunderstorms! It just.. it’s just that they remind me of something I don’t want to”

The silence in the room broke by my voice.

She looked at me and our eyes met.

“Want to share? I am not forcing you. It is totally go to you but I will suggest you to share it. To get your frustration out and believe me it will ease you” She smiled.

I scanned her face closely and clearly with my sharp scrutinizing gaze but didn’t see not even a sign of betrayal and plan of mocking me.

I sighed .

“It was the same haunting night when they brought him dead to our doorsteps!!” I said.

She looked at me in utter horror getting alert what else she was about to hear.

“Whom?” She whispered.

“My dad” I said looking here and there.

Shivers ran down to my spine.

To be continued.
