Stars are very pretty tonight.
  Heavy rain wiped out the clouds and made a crystal clear sky.

The night breeze is very fresh and chilly.
  I couldn't sleep... Maybe because I am way too tired. My entire body is in pain... I really need a massage.
  But this night view is taking my pain.

""Ahhrreemm""

I turned around..
       
                           It's Darshan.

D: Soyi nehi abhi tak?
   
     He came beside me.
Me : nahh.. I can't sleep.

D: you should sleep... You are managing everything on behalf of papa these days... You must be tired na.

Me: hmmm.. (while yawning).. Sorry... My back and shoulders are hurting badly.. That's why I can't sleep.

D: Take a pain killer...

Me: mmm I will.  But why are you not sleeping?

D: aise hi..  neend nehi aa raha.

    We both look up at the sky..

D: mmmm.. There is something I need to ask you...

Me: mmm I'm listening....

D: Nishant texted me today.. That he is going to drop you...

Me: Oh yeah... I forgot to tell you..

    You know that friend of yours is very creepy I am sorry to say...

D: did he do anything?

Me: No I mean.. Not specifically.. But... See... He is very you know.. Weird..

   He was silent..

I am sorry ...i know he is your friend..

  But you tell.. What should I do?  Out of nowhere he came to your dad's office and he wanted to drop me home.
   I can't get on anyone's car whom I don't know.

He smiled at me...

D: You did the right thing...So what he is my friend.. Still he is a stranger to you...
  
I felt a relief.

After a long pause...

D: did you talk with your parents?

Me: Yeah.. I called them before dinner.

D: how are things going on?  They are good right?

Me: Yeah.. They are fine. Mumma want to adopt a dog.. So.. They are very excited.
