Chapter 8: Anna and the…….bag?

When I opened the door, I saw Anna standing along with a bag and the bag was neither too big nor too small, just an average travel bag anybody would take with them when they are on a buisness trip.

"Hi Ally!"[ANNA]

"Hi Anna and what's with the bag?"[ME]

"Ofcourse I'm with a bag. I need some change of clothes and other things until I buy new ones."[ANNA]

"....."[ME]

"What? Haven't I already told you that I'm moving in with you...?"[ANNA]

"I didn't heard it" I replied while she was having a mischievous grin on her face. I literally thought for a second that I should just knock her out and be done with.

"Anyways, since I've already arrived here, I'm telling you now that I'm moving in with you"[ANNA]

"And why would you? Weren't you staying at your parents house. It is quiet spacious rather than my one BHK apartment"[ME]

"Neh! I am fine living with my beloved than those pieces of shit. Rather than that I'm quite comfortable living with you in this small apartment. It feels like our own love nest"[ANNA]

"Well I couldn't argue with your parents being jerk and now with you being you, I'm sure you argued with them saying you don't want to see their faces ever again or don't have to do anything with them anymore?"[ME]

"You got that right. I love how my husband understands me the most"[ANNA]

"I think things are escalating quiet fast. Today only I became your boyfriend and now I'm your husband"[ME]

"Don't mind small details and will you let me in or not?"[ME]

"Yeah, why not." I told her and welcomed her.

After entering my apartment, she was visibly shocked. The cause of her being shocked was that there was not a single thing in the house. No TV, no table, any sort of things one would likely see in the room of a teenager. Well I don't have any needs in the first place. It's not that I can't afford it, but I didn't see the need in wasting money in items I will never use. I don't watch tv since I spend most of my time outside. I didn't even had a bed cause I liked to sleep on floor. I was thinking of purchasing a futon for winter but that has a long way to come. I only had an induction since I have my lunch and dinner at my diner. That's why I don't have any needs for anything.

"What happened to you the time I was not with you?"[ANNA]

"I have always been like this"[ME]

"NO. YOU. WEREN'T. LIKE. THIS. Just what did those two shitheads do that you turned out to be like this? Aaah! Screw them. Screw everybody. Ally, tomorrow we are going on a shopping trip.[ANNA]

"I don't have need for anything. Also if you want you can just order them online rather than wasting your time going around shops for stuff"[ME]

"Delivery will take a long time. I want them tomorrow and for that I'll go and purchase everything tomorrow. And you are coming with me"[ANNA]

I didn't argued with her cause I know that arguing with her is just a waste of time and she will stick with whatever she has decided.

"And since you don't have a bed, you and I will be sleeping on the floor,right?"[ANNA]

"Hmm"[ME]

I felt bad to let her sleep on the floor but since I didn't have any options with me, I could only shake my head in affirmation to her question.

She went and took her bath meanwhile I prepared alternatives of futon so that she can sleep comfortably. I knew  that comfortable was not the right word, but better than sleeping on the floor. 

After her bath, I went and took the bath and after sometime, I and Anna went to sleep. She was sleeping on my arrangement while I was sleeping on the floor. In the middle of the night, I felt someone crawling onto me. Upon opening my eyes I saw Anna clinging onto me with her head in my chest. She was snuggling into me. 

"Hey Ally"[ANNA]

"Hmm?"[ME]

"You know, I was quite happy when you didn't reject my offer and allowed me to become your girlfriend. I was devastated when you stopped talking to me in the past. I used to think that I had done something to you and you will never ever look at me. I knew that you treated me like sister, but I can't help with how I feel. I loved you from back then. I just want to be near you all the time. Whenever you lost one of your emotions, I felt broken myself. I used to cry all night. Feeling helpless and devastated. Seeing your beloved getting broken again and again was sort of torture for me. I too went into depression back then. I stopped talking to anyone. I often skipped my meals because I started to loose my appetite. I didn't knew what was going on with me. Why do I feel broken? Why do I feel destroyed? Why do I feel my heart getting stabbed again and again. Then I came to realisation. I was always in love with you. Always and always. I only wanted to see you happy, to see you smile, to see you living your life. I didn't care that whether I will be the one standing beside you in those moments or anyone else. I was willing to sacrifice my love if it meant you would be happy. Your happiness is the most important thing to me. I've once seen you loose everything. I don't want to witness that ever again. But then, I started to think whether I will be happy to see you with anyone other than me? Then I got the answer that I don't. I don't want anyone else to be beside you. I want all of you to myself. That's how I truly feel about you. You are the only ray of hope in my life. It's your choice if you love me or not, but just remember one thing. I love you more than anything. You can always come to me whenever something's bothering you. I promise that I'll always be there for you. I love you, I love you, I love you, I lo..."

She was sobbing and went to sleep just like that. She looked vulnerable and lovable in my arms contrast to the strong front she always showed at the school.

While thinking about her thoughts from earlier, a single drop of tear escaped my eyes.
