"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. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljcu4GFMbO
"I should have agreed with my friend to have not gone on this date." He muttered. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnOYaohhVg
"I heard that!" She bellowed, but it was more comical than expected. Josh chuckled. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUbo08e5Qf
"The gay freak can’t decide whether you come on this date or not, or else I would’ve perished." 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn7doMf0DR
“Hey! Don’t call him that, will ya’?” 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyhMMB6ir4
“Sorry. But I stick to my point.” She said. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32aa1t5jSr
“And what’s that?” He replied in a strained voice. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo8yPP3kgR
“That I really like you Dumbo!” She said with a mischievous laugh, running deeper into the forest. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ge3Cq9GO6
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObOfP0hjWN
“Why did you want a date in the forest?” She asked curiously, walking over the thick weeds and vines, Josh following close behind her.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFppAHkYTYB
“Why not? It’s Halloween, no better thing to do on a Halloween’s day, is it?” 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmuHw7hb9E
“You can stay at home and eat cake...” she said in a suggestive, gentle voice. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWK6Q4E9v4
“Nah!” He said after thinking the cake over. “I’d choose nightmarish forest.” 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLAeocorjZ
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X1mWRnX2q
They walked for a while or so, talking. They weren’t sure what they were talking, but they were discussing stupid things.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCAGpJQNN6
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. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V3q0sKrG4
“So, what are you doing in America?” He asked. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI0h4fg2EV
“My step-father lives here; You wouldn’t expect my mother to say no to living in America.” 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYRSSssjSk
“Why not?” 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsuCEc9mKh
“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.” 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskxUKheRyP
“In other words, attractive.” She said, and it was very clear that she was blushing even if it was dark. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X3JbwfQt8
“Eh. I guess.” He said softly. “And sassy.” He added. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBVfArJzei
“But what makes me even more curious is why.” 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4lVGzFoIs
“Why...what?” She asked, squinting to look ahead of the fog. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV4bCPAwWw
“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!” 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNplKdBAGQ
Josh decided he didn’t want to ask what a chapati was, and walked ahead besides her. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvNLXEFpOR
“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. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9F7wBGbWE
“Indeed.” He said in amaze. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3OByuiBCs
“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.498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ONUPAFAaj
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo1IHQDhLR
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? 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjopWPHeQq9
“What in the name of effing Christ was that?!” 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsIhvnobVz
“I have no idea.” Josh said dumbfoundedly. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpWqSqFGhp
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. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40mjVBT5yK
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. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHd1U9MocR
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. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOmwx3mZ6I
“You really are as unexpected as they say, aren’t you?” 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPs6j647Nz
“Depends on who’s saying it.” She said, panting. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaaEQ279ta
That’s when the two dumb heads realised there was a glass window at the back. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVcYk2xHCp
“Hey! We can break it with that stool!” She suggested. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi59zbWd7re
498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzGWT5FMD4
Lata looked at the ring on her finger, smiling to herself. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXOK7ARILw
“Oi. Josh.” She said, calling him to sit beside her. Without hesitation, he sat down. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozCLsmeEXh
“Do you remember our first date?” 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlkstAf71T
“As scary as it was, yes I remember it very clearly.” 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLoeGOW62s
“I still can’t believe we got out of that forest. It seems so unreal now...”. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhbZNfWnoo
“I assure you, it was very real.” He said, planting a kiss on her cheek. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMYKr508TN
“That was 11 years ago. I still can’t believe it’s tomorrow, the biggest day of my life!” 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlsUJBABFe
“How are you feeling?” He asked, awaiting her response. 498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqU7e8INNz
“In love.”
