Written In My Heart.

Chapter 35 : Ghost.

The girls were sitting on the couch waiting for the boys..

S: C'mon boys.. How long does it take.?? Are you growing corn in the kitchen.??

A: Almost done.. We'll be there in a minute..

Ayaan and Nick quickly grab all the snacks along with soft drinks.. They keep everything on the table

and sat on the couch.. The girls were huddled in the middle as both boys sat beside them.. The movie

began to play..

After about half an hour.. When the movie had reached the scary party.. Ayaan leaned back further

glancing at Nick calling him slowly... Nick turned to him as Ayaan gave a slow nod to him as he nodded

back.. Ayaan slowly took out his phone and clicked something on his phone that caused a clanking

sound in the kitchen.. Sofia looked up..

S: Did you guys hear that.??

A: Hear what.??

S: Something fell in the kitchen..

A: I didn't hear anything.. Did you guys.??

N: No...

Al: I didn't hear anything either sofi...

S: Maybe it was just me..

She sat quietly as they all continue watching the movie.. Ayaan made the sound again after a few

minutes.. This time both Sofia and Aliza heard it..

S: See.. There it was again..

Al: I think even I heard something this time..

A: I have no idea what your talking about.. did you hear anything Nick.??

N: Nopes... nothing.!!

S: I think we should go check..

A: It's ok Sofia.. It's nothing..

S: But atleast once.. C'mon Aliza..

She takes Aliza with herself to the kitchen.. Ayaan smirks High fiving Nick.. as they sit back in their

places controlling their smiles.. The girls look around in the kitchen and come back seeing every thing

is in its place.. They again continue the movie..

After a while Nick slowly creeps away from the back and goes towards the power house.. He switches

off all the lights of the house.. They all get startled as Sofia grabs Ayaans arm causing him to chuckle

quietly..

A: What happened... Are you scared..??

He whispered leaning closer to her ear as she let goes standing straight.. Aliza moves closer grabbing

Sofia as she holds her hand as well..

S: W...What happened to the lights..?

A: I don't know.. I think Nick went to check..

Al: Nick..??

S: A..Ayaan.. where are you.??

A: Right here..

He said moving towards the table and quietly grabed both their phones keeping them in his pocket..

S: Where is your phone... Turn on the light..

A: My phone..... It's in my room.. Where's yours.??

S: Wait.. It's on the table I think..

She moves towards the table stretching her hands in front to feel in the dark.. She felt the table moving

her hand around but couldn't find her phone..

S: I don't know.. I can't find it...

A: Ok relax.. I know where the candles are.. I'll get some..

S: Ok..

He goes in the kitchen as Sofia and Aliza grab onto eachother..

Al: Sofia.. I'm very scared honestly..

S: So am I.. But remember.. We will not say this in front of the boys.. It's about our respect..

Al: Yes ofcourse..

They were whispering when a candle appeared between them.. They moved back startled and saw

Ayaan standing close with the yellow light reflecting from his face.. He looked like a ghost from a typical

horror movie.. Aliza was looking as if her breath was struck in her lungs and Sofia was breathing

heavily as both the girls had their lips sealed shut making sure not to scream..

S: Ayaan.??

A: What happened..?? Did I.. SCARE you.??

S: You just... Startled us..

A: Is it.?? Ok... here

He passed both of them a candle as Nick came in..

A: What is it.??

N: I checked it.. There's some problem.. I called the.. Electrician.. He'll be here in a few minutes..

A: ok.. Nick.. One moment..

He said walking towards the kitchen but Sofia held his hand..

S: Where are you going..?

A: To get some water.. Why..? You don't want me to go..?

S: I.. I just..

A: What.?? Are you scared.?

S: Ofcourse I'm not..

She leaves his hand with a jerk huffing and moves towards Aliza..

S: Go where ever you want..

He smirks grabbing nicks hand and walked towards kitchen..

S: Why do you need him to go along.??

A: I thought I'll bring some juice for everyone.. It's getting a little heated in here..

He said leaving to the kitchen and dragging nick along.. They both quietly sat on the couch.. Sofia

remembered about the phone as she searched on the table but didn't find it there..

S: Where's my phone.??

Al: Wasn't it on the table..?

S: It's not here.. What about yours..??

Al: It was here too..

They both look around but couldn't find their phones.. Aliza turned around as her eyes fell on a moving

source of light.. She turned to Sofia calling her..

Al: Sofia.. I saw s..something moving over there..

S: Where.??

Al: Over there..

She pointed behind the sofa.. They both looked around but didn't see anything..

S: I think it was just in your head... We were watching horror movie right.. maybe that's why you felt so..

Al: Yeah maybe..

Sofia glanced around carefully while Aliza looked for their phones under the table and couch.. Just then

she too saw the moving candle..

S: Aliza.!!

Al: What.??

S: I think I saw that too..

Al: The candle.??

S: Yeah...

She points at the direction where she saw the candle disappear.. They both hold on to each other

looking around terrified..

S: A...A..Ayaaan...

The boys were looking out of the kitchen window.. Ayaan held a remote control in his hand as nick

stood beside him watching animatedly.. They both laugh quietly standing in the kitchen..

N: Gosh Ayaan.. They look so scared..

A: Yeah.. Just look at their faces.. They're terrified..

He says laughing while moving the car that had candles kept on it.. They kept moving it back and

forth..

N: Ok I think that's enough.. They're already very scared.. C'mon let's..

A: C'mon it's so much fun..

N: Shut up.. Let's go...

He says dragging him along as they grabbed the tray of juice and went out towards the girls.. Nick held

the light for them both..

A: What happened Sofia.??

S: I s..saw things.. They were moving.. T.The lights.. They were all moving..

A: How is that possible Sofia..?

S: I saw them.. We both did.. The candles were moving..

A: But every thing is fine now.. See... Nothing is moving..

Suddenly the window opens with a thud as Sofia quickly grabs Ayaan's hand causing the tray to lean

as a glass fell down.. He kept the tray aside quickly moving her in the other direction away from the

glass pieces..

A: Ok guys calm down.. I'm sure it's just a breeze.. Let me go see..

S: No. What if something is there..??

A: Relax.. It's our house.. Who else could be here..??

He says walking towards the window..

A: Excuse me.. Is anyone there..??

He asks loudly.. Not receiving any answer he turns towards them raising his arms..

A: See.. There's nothing.. I told you..

"Ayaaan"

They all suddenly hear a loud and rough old woman's voice.. Ayaan stumbles back towards everyone

as they all grab on to him..

Ghost Woman: AYAAN.!!!

They all get scared as aryan glances towards nick who was also looking towards him.. He thinks it was

part of nick's plan.. Raising his brows he slowly nods his head..

A: Relax guys..

S: What do you mean..?? Who is that.?????

Al: Her voice is so scary.. I feel like we're In a horror movie..

A: Wait.. Let me talk.. Who are you..?? What Do you want..??

GW: YOU..!!!!!!

A: W..What D..Did I do to you.. ?? W...What do you want from me.??

GW: REVENGE..!!!!!

They all scream hurdling together... Ayaan slowly moves towards Nick dragging him a little aside and

whispered to him..

A: Look.. I get that it's your plan.. But why me.??

N: My plan.???

A: You seemed so relax..

N: I thought it was your plan.!! That's why I was calm..

A: You mean you didn't do this..

N: How would I control what she says.. And how would I know what you are going to say next..

A: Good point.. But if not me or you.. Who else is doing it.?? Do you think it's the girls.?

They both glanced towards them who were holding each other due to fear..

N: I don't think it's them.. They look so scared themselves..

S: What are you both murmuring about over there.???

A: N..Nothing..

They both stood closer to the girls..

A: H.. Hello..

GW: I WILL END YOU AAAALL.!!!!

A+N: Mummy.!!!!

They both scream jumping on the couch covering themselves as both the girls look at them with

ridicule..

S: Are you serious.?

She said looking towards Aliza who gave the same expression to her.. They both moved towards them

snatching the pillows from their hands..

S: What are you guys doing.???

A: There's a ghost in our house.!!

Al: And you just realizes that.??

A: I thought it was nick..

S: Wait were you two planning to scared us.??

A:Um... No..

She glares at him flaring her nostrils.. As he slowly nods speaking in a slow voice..

A: Yes. Kinda.. But I swear this isn't part of our plan..

N: Ayaan.. She's asking for you.. I think You should go..

A: What.??? Why would I.??

They both stood up from the sofa as the girls dragged them..

Gw: WHO FROM YOU IS AYAAN..???

A: M..Me..

He says clearing his throat.. They all slowly moved towards the voice..

GW: HAND ME AYAAN.. OR I SHALL KILL YOU ALL.!!!!

N: See.. She wants you..

A: How could you say that..?

N: I don't wanna die so young..

S: Seriously you guys.. This is no time to argue.. Someone has to go check..

N: Exactly.. SOME. ONE. HAS. to go..

He says pointing at Ayaan..

A: I don't wanna die either.!!

S: You know what.. You all wait here.. I'll go and check..

A: What no..!!

He says pulling Sofia back holding her arm..

A: Your not going anywhere..

S: But someone has to go..

A: I'll go..

S: But what if it's something dangerous.??

A: Exactly. So I will go..

S: But Ayaan-

A: Shush.. Not a word.. Don't even move from your place.. She wants me.. She'll get me.. I'll go..

He let goes of her hand slowly walking towards the direction of the voice..

A: What do you want from me??

After a moment of pause they hear her..

GW: REVENGE.!!!!!!

They hear her scary voice again.. Ayaan stops after waking for a distance.. He keeps looking around

as they see a white figure appear from the door.. With a candle in hand she walked closer to Ayaan..

She raised her head as her red bloodshot eyes came into view.. They scream startled as her scar filled

face shone in the candlelight... Sofia tried coming closer to Ayaan Calling for him but Nick held her

back.. Ayaan showed her his hand telling her to stop.. He stood quietly as she stared with large red

eyes at him.. She walked closer with slow steps as he quietly stared at her every movement..

A: What did I ever do to you.??

GW: YOU HAVE BETRAYED ME... AND I WILL NOT SPARE YOU..!!!!!

She takes a round around him while he scrunched his face trying to comprehend what she said..

A: I don't even know who you are.??

Gw: You will..

They heard a small female voice as they stared at her shocked..

Gw: Oops..

A: What.??

He asked confused as the realisation slowly struck them all one by one..

A+S+Al: KIARA.???

K: Hey everone..

She says as the lights turn on automatically.. They notice that it was all Make up seeing her face neck

and hands painted white and fake scars on her skin were now very evident in the clear light.. Ryan also

walked in from the front door laughing at them all.. Kiara goes to hug the girls as they happily jump

together.. Ryan meets both the boys as they all welcome both of them into the house..

S: I Had no idea you were coming..

K: It was a surprise for all of you.. How'd you like it.??

S+Al: Awesome..

A: Some entry you had there..

K: I scared the hell out of you didn't I..??

She said pinching his cheeks hard as he smacks her hands off..

A: Piss of ghost..

K: Hey.!!!

She exclaims as they all laugh..

S: Well MARVEL did get you caught today..

K: Yeah I know.. I was doing pretty well wasn't I.??

She says taking off her wigs and peeling off the fake scars from her face and hand.. The girls nodded

as they all laugh..

Al: Anyway.. How did you even plan all this..??

K: Well we had our agent in the house..!!

A+S+Al: Agent.??

They all ask together and then look at each other.. After shrugging at each other they're heads snap

towards nick who had been a silent spectator all this while.. He gives an innocent smile while battling

his eye lashes..

A+S+Al: Nick.???

A: You TRAITOR.!!!! That was supposed to be our plan.!!

N: It was my plan all along.. I had no idea You'd have the same plan too..

A: And you Ray.. Couldn't you have called to warn us beforehand..

R: I wanted to.. But she didn't let me.. I was her... Hostage..

A: Hostage.??

He asks sarcastically hitting his arm while glaring at him as he only gives an apologetic look..

S: But how did you make that marvellous voice.??

A: Horrendous.!! Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

He remarks as she ignores it royally while looking through her phone..

K: Voice changing app..

Al: intelligent girl..

A: By the way madam.. When did I ever betray you..??

K: When you hid about Sofia from me.!

She said as the smile fell from all their faces..

A: What.??

K: Nick told me everything..

Ayaan and Sofia glanced at each other with a worried look..

S: Kiara... I..

K: I can't believe you hid this from me.. I Thought we were friends.. We had no secrets between us..

None of you told me.. And Ayaan.. Even you..

S: I told him not to tell you anything..

K: How could you Sofia.??

S: I didn't want you to get worried.. You were there for your work.. And if you'd lose this for me.. I would

never be able to forgive myself..

K: Sofia.. When will you understand.. You are more important to me than any thing in the world...

S: I know that.. And so are you.. That's why I didn't want you to compromise on your career..

Kiara givers her an endearing look embracing her.. Ayaan and the others smile looking at them..

K: How are you now..?

She asked as she checked her right hand..

S: It's this one..

Sofia raises her left hand giving a smile to her as she nods her head.. Sofia keeps her hands on Kiara's

shoulder..

S: I'm perfectly fine.. Really.. That was Just..

She stops mid sentence as Kiara gives an understanding glance towards her.. Ryan comes forward

taking a look at her wrist that had a very light scar almost faded yet visible.. He gives a concerned

smile to her putting a hand around her shoulder..

R: How's my Sista..

S: I'm perfect..

R: Ofcourse..

He says giving a smile as she chukles.. She glances at kiara who was standing with tears in her eyes..

S: Kay....

She gives her hug..

K: I'm sorry.. I should've been here for you.. It's all my fault...

S: It's not your fault.. Kay.. If anything it-

A: She's right.. It's not your fault.. It's none of ours fault.. It was just that situation.. And now blaming

ourselves would change anything.. So let's forget all this.. And move ahead..

He says putting a hand on Kiara's shoulder.. Aliza pulls Kiara and Sofia together in a hug as the boys

join next into the group hug..

*The End*
