"He even kissed you", Sophie giggled.
"What????!!!!!", Julia screamed.
"Mom!!!!!!!! Since when did I have a boyfriend?"
"Yes! Since when did you have a boyfriend? And as your parents, why the hell we were kept unknown about it?", Julia's dad exclaimed.
"Calm down Hector. Let her speak", Sophie patted Hector's shoulders.
"Mom..? Did you see a handsome man with a pair of blue eyes ?"
"Yup. Great pick my girl! I am so proud of you", her mom cuddled her.
"Mom!! What exactly happened yesterday?", Julia made her mom sit down in the bed as her dad took a seat nearby.
"The door bell rang. As soon as your dad opened the door, he started shouting like hell. First, I was shocked to see your boyfriend but after noticing his actions I was damn sure that he was especially soft with you. Then, yes, we questioned him whether he is your real boyfriend or not. He nodded his head with acceptance. Then your dad asked to prove it. So he kissed on your forehead. And I asked him why didn't he kiss your lips.. and you know what he replied...? It's the most sensational part!", Julia's mom exclaimed with joy.
"Are you guys really my parents? How can you ask such absurd questions to a stranger? Have you both lost your mind? And what the hell did he say?", Julia questioned with frustration.
"No mam. It's not a right thing to do, to take advantage of someone who is not in his/her consciousness. It won't be respectful; is what he said. And your dad decided to make him his son-in-law", her mom giggled.
"Huh! He kissed me already and how daring he must be to speak about taking advantage! That pervert! Ok, at least did you guys ask for his name?"
"No sweety", her mom replied.
"By the way, what's his name dear?", her dad questioned.
"What ?? seriously! Dad, Mom, you guys let some nameless random guy kiss me in the middle of the night just because he was handsome and spoke some sweet words?"
"Oh! come on! He is not a random guy. He is your boyfriend. Go, prepare to leave or else you will be late", her mom said as she left to the kitchen.
"I think someone exercised witchcraft on you guys. You're not even believing your own daughter's words!!", Julia shouted as she stared at her father.
"Today, bring my son-in-law home for dinner", her dad left too.
"Aah!! Great!! Now my life has become a melodrama. It's Romance now. Urghh! Only god knows how many genres are still awaiting for me to face in this life", Julia frowned as she started doing her daily chores.
Until she left the house, both of her parents were speaking about her boyfriend. She was immensely irritated and finally left.
She sat there in her classroom, lost in thoughts. And she didn't even notice her professor saying that there will be a new professor joining their department to teach paranormal science next week.
At lunch break, only after hearing her classmates murmur, did she remember that there will be an assessment test this evening.
Julia has always been a bookworm and a top student who could easily break any theory exams so she was confident that she could pass the test somehow.
After break, everyone was busy preparing for the test, skimming and scanning through piles of books while our Julia was drawing a mind map, connecting all the mysterious events occurred in her life until now.
"Hey!...."
~ (lost in thoughts..) ~
"Hey Juli! "
~ (no response) ~
"Hey bud....you alright?", Steve snapped Julia slightly with his study material.
"Ah.. hey.. Hi... I'm sorry, you are?"
"Do you have alzheimer's or amnesia?", Steve questioned her with a strange look.
"Excuse me..?"
"Sorry I was kidding. I'm Steve.. the new student. Nice meeting you."
"I don't feel like it's a nice meeting though", Julia said sternly.
"Oh! You sure have a sharp tongue", Steve chuckled.
"Yes! sharp enough to slaughter your throat", Julia stared at him.
"This girl is really something", Steve thought to himself.
And before he could speak anything, their professor interrupted, "Happy evening students! It's time for the assessment test. Arrange yourselves quickly."
After the tests got over, she was sitting alone in her favorite place, under a tree which was near the graveyard.. a few kilometers away from the university.
She started mumbling to herself, "I shouldn't have believed him. From the start, nothing was clear about him. If he saved me that night, then who was that handsome man that I saw that very same night? I am definitely not mentally ill and I can vividly differentiate dream from reality. It was true! In that giant room, I saw him. But why the heck did he have the same voice and eyes of that psychotic prick ? May be that handsome man... no!.... no!.... How can that black monster ever have such a handsome face? It's impossible!! May be it's possible. Arrghh! May be I should ask him directly!", she stood up.
"No! No! Meeting that devil's son again? Julia do you have a death wish or what?", her mind interrupted her. Then she sat again.
"Let alone that handsome man and that devil's son, who the heck is my boyfriend ? And how come I didn't even know that I have a boyfriend? Ahhh!!!!!! Great gods just struck me with lightening or something!!", she shouted out.
"So, you do have a boyfriend!", Rosita suddenly whispered into Julia's ears.
She was sitting beside Julia all this time and Julia couldn't even realize that.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh!", Julia screamed out in shock.
"Ros! Do you want me to die of a heart attack? Or you have plans to make me a heart patient?"
Rosita looked up and down at Julia, "Tsk ! You already look like one!"
"Don't worry Ros! Even if I need a heart transplant urgently, I won't ask for yours!", Julia said sarcastically.
"Of course you can't! My heart is already with my new boyfriend."
"Huh! You must have infinite number of hearts so that you can distribute one each for your every boyfriends now and then. You're such a legend my lady!"
"So why don't you pour me a glass of wine?", Rosita waved her hands like as if she was the queen of England and as if she was about to propose a toast in the royal ball. Both girls laughed at each other as they started walking.
"So, who is your boyfriend?"
"Who knows! Oh right! since when you've been sitting next to me?"
"I've just arrived shortly but when the word boyfriend struck my ears, I sat near you silently to know your true colors my forgetful rainbow!", Rosita chuckled.
"Ros! I seriously have no idea who he is! Last night, he brought me back home safely and my parents misunderstood him as my boyfriend!"
"So is your boyfriend handsome?"
"I don't know cause I fainted ...."
"Fainted??"
"No no! I was deeply asleep when he carried me. I guess I fell asleep somewhere, randomly due to over work", Julia covered it up.
"Huh? Slept somewhere randomly ? Act and speak like a woman dear friend or else you will have to die single and at vain at such an young age!", Rosita chuckled.
They arrived at a departmental store, bought some snacks and sat nearby.
"Hey guys!", Steve exclaimed as he joined them.
"Juli! Who is this? Is this your boyfriend?", Rosita giggled.
"What ? No! Never!", both Steve and Juli exclaimed together.
Rosita was blinking. "Ros, It's my new classmate Steve." "Steve, This is Rosita, my best friend from chemistry department."
"Ok, you both carry on. I will buy some drinks", Julia left the conversation.
After some time, Julia sensed that Steve and Rosita were speaking about something dead serious as she returned. So, she started walking silently towards them.
(murmur... murmur....)
"What mission ? What angel? What are you guys mumbling about?"
