Lavanya was coming back from her college with Ray. She looked at him and asked, “Can I use your phone, please?”

“You can, but whom do you want to call?” Ray retrieved his phone from his pocket.

“Don’t worry! I will not call my brother or father, even though I miss them a lot. I want to call Eden.” She stretched out her hand to get the phone from him, but he didn’t give it to her and said, “Sir is on a business trip. He may get disturbed by your phone call as you don’t know if he is working there or not at the moment.”

“Okay.” She started looking out of the window as tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back from falling.

Lavanya was missing Eden’s touch, his voice, and his smile as four days have been passed since he left. She was sitting in her room after having dinner. She was getting bored, so she decided to watch a movie. She went into Eden’s room as his room had a television. She switched it on and laid down on his bed. She continuously changed the channels but didn’t find anything interesting to watch.

She decided to watch a movie online and chose the Japanese movie “The Slit-Mouthed Woman”. She was feeling scared while watching the terrible scenes of the movie still she watched it till the end. She started feeling sleepy, so she got off the bed to go back to her room.

She opened the door. The entire hall was dark. She was feeling scared as the scenes of the movie she watched played inside her mind. She stepped out of the room and saw a silhouette of someone standing near the staircase.

“Ahhhhh!!” She screamed loudly while getting back inside the room. She closed the door with a loud bang, laid down on his bed, and hid herself under the blanket.

After a minute, she heard the sound of the door opening and closing. Her heartbeat increased as the thought of a ghost with the most horror face standing in front of her crossed her mind. She held the blanket tightly when she felt someone tapping gently on her head. She didn’t even dare to lift the blanket and look at that person until she heard a familiar voice.

“Lavanya.” She lifted the blanket a little, gulping the lump formed in her throat, and saw Eden standing in front of her, looking at her with worried expression. She quickly lifted the blanket fully, hugged him, and burst into tears.

Eden got panicked with her behavior. He broke the hug and asked, wiping her tears, “Why are you crying?”

She sobbed and said in her heavy voice, “I thought that there’s a ghost who wants to kill me.”

He wanted to laugh at her reply but controlled himself. “Why were you thinking about ghosts?”

“I watched a horror movie.” She replied innocently.

“You should’ve watched something else instead of a horror movie if you get scared.” He stretched out his hand in her direction. “Come, I will take to your room.”

She shook her head. “No, I will not sleep alone tonight. Please let me sleep here.”

He agreed to her request and went inside the bathroom to take a shower. He came out and saw her sleeping peacefully. He sat down on the bed beside her, admiring her beautiful face. He kissed her forehead, picked a pillow from the bed, and went to sleep on the couch after switching off the lights.

It was uncomfortable for him to sleep on it, but he didn’t want to share the bed with Lavanya before getting married, even if he know that she will never have any problem with this, he don’t want to give any bad ideas to her about himself.

In the morning, Lavanya opened her eyes with a huge smile on her face, hoping to see Eden beside her, but got disappointed as he wasn’t there. She went downstairs and saw him sitting inside the living room, wearing a pair of white joggers with a blue t-shirt.

She sat beside him and asked, “Aren’t you going to work today?”

He closed his eyes. “No, I am not going anywhere today.”

She looked at him carefully. “Are you feeling alright?”

“I am fine. It’s just that my back is aching.” He replied.

She held a cushion in her hand and adjusted it behind his back. “You were absolutely fine last night. What happened to you suddenly?”

“I slept on the couch last night that’s why it’s aching.” He revealed. She held his hand and asked, “Did you sleep on the couch because of me?”

“It’s okay!” He looked at her only to find tears in her eyes. He wiped them. “Why are you crying baby?”

“You were already tired from the trip, and then you slept on the couch because of me. I am sorry.” She said as he held her hand.

“Lavanya, it’s my problem. I have promised to you that I will not touch you without your consent or will force you. If I had slept beside you, it would’ve been hard for me to control myself, and I didn’t want to give you any bad ideas about myself.” He said and she hugged him. She was feeling happy because she always wanted a life partner who can respect her and can love her unconditionally, and finally she has got such a partner.

She broke the hug, kissed his hand and smiled. “I wanted to surprise you last night, but you surprised me instead. My surprise went wrong. By the way, which horror movie did you watch?” He asked.

“The Slit-mouthed Woman”

“So, you thought that a witch, wearing red clothes, holding a pair of scissors in her hands was coming to kill you just after watching a movie.” He said and chuckled.

“Stop this. You’re scaring me.” She smacked his arm.

He pulled her cheeks. “You say it right about yourself. You’re cute.”
