Chapter 17 - White Paper Conversation

(The first doorbell rings here)

I said, "I'll open it" and walked.

(Beep sound)

Aarush checked the text message from general in his phone,

'Aarush, Sharon is the one who clubbed with the opponents and, he shared all our confidential data regarding this mission, also make sure, nobody knows she's with you!! Maybe, Sharon is on his way to find out about the girl, behave as if you live alone there.'

Till then, I reached to the door.

He shouted, "WAIT!!! ROOH!!!"

I stopped in shocked, and I was about to speak, but he covered my mouth with his hands.

He shouted, "Who's it!?"

The voice from the outside replied, "The food, sir! I'm a delivery boy..."

He again, "waits a minute!!"

And, told me to stay quiet, not to speak a word, with some sign action and he opened the door halfway.

The boy said, "Here it is!!"

He replied after all procedures, "Thank You!!", and, the boy left plus Aarush closed the door.

I was quite confused, standing there as if what's going on!! He ignored me to talk about this topic. I still remain silent for a while, and then he explained me about the steps for what Sharon has done with them and how general is going is to manage all this days. Rest Aarush said to me that, I need to be silent here in this place like not moving out, or hanging out with any buddies. Specially, not to interact with any neighbors from nearby town, whatever I need, he will bring it from the city.

(Next Day)

I find something different to do with the waste utensils, like old carton, craft papers, old wood pieces, sketch pens, broken dish materials, rusted tin boxes, and many more. So I wake up at 5 in the morning and started finding them and collect them, and with help of YouTube, I started creating new unique materials, like shoe racks, new book shelf, and dining table for sitting under shed of blue sky and welcoming the slow touch of cold wind. I was working silently so as he would not wake up. Then, I didn't get to know that it's 7.15 and I have make breakfast for both of us, so I give the last finishing touch to those I was working outside the house. I clapped so as to remove the dust from my hand, till then somebody from my back walked near me and said, "You're Impressive".

I got shocked, and said, "Ahh!! You scared me, Aarush!!"

He smiled and we both giggled, and he said, "Is it my house!? It doesn't seem like to be mine!?"

(Both laughing)

"Oh, but where are you coming from? I thought you were inside, still sleeping, so I thought I should work silently!!!" I asked him.

He replied, "Well, you work so beautiful even in your silence", I again, said with a smile, "No, but seriously!?"

He answered, "There was a meeting at 4am, and we called these meeting at this time as, 'plans before enemies wake up', so we were working on next move regarding this mission... Anyways, (looking to my face) you don't worry about it, I'll handle better, let's do breakfast together, I brought your favorite dish, come (moving inside)"

We had our breakfast together, sitting in this new dining table, I worked on. "So, tell me about this hidden talent of carpentry", he said. I smiled and replied, "Actually, my adopted dad was a well-known carpenter in my city where I used to stay, he usually works and I used to help him. Here is how I grown up with these sharp tools!!"

He brought some novels for me to read, as he knew this nature of mine, that I'm a used to of reading a novel before sleeping at night or after lunch time. Looking the novels, and reading their synopsis, I found that some are romantic, and some are mysterious or thrilled, the best genre of my novels. On that time, I come know that he had already read my diary before and could have completed reading it till the end. I wrote a 'thank you' note in a small piece of paper and pushed it under the door gap in his room. I went back to bed and started writing about today's moments in my diary and then I found that he replied me in that same piece of paper from the door gap, "I'm glad that you are here, and I think you deserve to be here, so don't bind our relationship with some formalities."

He was waiting for another scroll of reply from the door gap, so he doesn't go to sleep in his room instead, he waited in the hall. And, these white paper conversations carried on. I ended my diary and waited for his reply through that same paper. We talked about everything on that one night. I switched to sit beside the closed door and the moment I pushed the paper I found that, he's too sitting just a wall apart from me, as he could grab the paper as soon as I passed it on.

The moments were so good and long, that both were smiling and sharing the presence around us. And, to end the conversation, he wrote, "I think, we need to sleep now it's really late!!" and passed.

"Together!!" and she scribbled it hard and write again, "Yeah!! I think so too", and passed.

But, none of us went to sleep, still sitting there and smiling, and remembering those conversations of past hours. At one moment, we could hear each other's voice of giggling, listening to that I said, "Aarush!! You there, still!!" and he replied in a soft voice, "Always!!" We found that we were close to each other, we were becoming best, and close friends. He called, "Rooh!!" and repeated again, "Rooh!! Are you there?" But, I haven't answered. So he tried to open the door with knock first and found me sleeping on the floor itself.

He smiled and said, "Mad, but cute one, that's why I like her". He slowly holds me in his arms so that I may not get hurt and also it should not wake me up. He walked till my bed and he allowed me to sleep there. The moment he was moving apart, I hold his left arm, pull towards me, and he falls on me.

BAAANNGGG!!!!
