Lost sleep
orphanage
night time... A shadow was silently moving up to the stairs... There was silence all around and the lights were off..,
The shadow took its steps towards a room-... But before he can open! the gate, he feels a hand on his arm., He gets scared... but before turning back, he hears a familiar voice...
"why did you come secretly?"
The shadow moves back but.. Can't Clearly see the face of the person standing in front because of the darkness. Then he felt a pull and hears a Sound "click" of opening gate That force took him into the room
The person in front then turned on the light and said while staring
"I am asking you something.. Can't you hear???, Sophia"
Yes it was sophia who came there silently, she said -
"iris, is it you??.. Yrr you scared me.. I thought i am done for today.."
as soon as she said that see bit her tongue.. She thought to herself - *dhattt... What are you saying sophia... What if iris gets suspicion of you then??.... Control your tongue a little.. *
Buy this time iris had becomes suspicious of sophia she said to her narrowing her eyes" what have you done so will you please be kind enough to tell me where you went and why were you came like a thief here..."
Sophia, who got confused after hearing so many questions, on top of that Iris eyes were scaring her.. She said hesitantly -" i??.. I didn't go anywhere.. I was just strolling outside in the garden..., it was so suffocating here that's why "
Hearing this reply from sophia, iris was a little disbelieving at her words when her eyes fall on her other hand.... There was a big cut and dried blood over it...
Iris grabs it in her own hand and while showing it to sophia, she gave a look to her with questionable eyes...
Sophia also feels iris's gaze towards herself. She also then noticed that cut for which she was clueless before, she got scared and not able to say anything for a moment, she started averting her eyes from iris in the hope that may be iris let this be but she hears -
" will you say something now" -
Iris speaks in an angry and suspicious voice
" why are you getting so angry.. I am telling you naa" - she replied.
Iris - " speak then... I don't have patience"
" yrr... You are overreacting.. This is down near the bushes... May be i got cut.. I didn't pay attention.. You know why... I am already so depressed because of rosy" - sophia said nervously..
Iris who was still suspicious of sophia after hearing all this... Thinking something, sge doesn't say anything further to her...
" okay then i will apply medicine on it" - said while normalising atmosphere...
After noticing Iris's reaction... Sophia thinks to herself - * she agreed to me so quickly and easily.. Strange?... But it's good yeah.. Hehe * she feels happy inside and ignore iris eyes which are fixed on her wound deeply...
Sophia says - " hey... Its just a small injury.. No need to worry.. I will take care of it myself.. You go and sleep... Ohh yeah, this reminds me of that you didn't even sleep till now... Why??"
Iris walks towards the window and says - " i just can't sleep".
Looking at her back, Sophia says - " and can i ask... Why is this so??"
Iris replied while looking out the window whose expression was blank and dark like this night today, only her eyes seems like the have emotions but what kind of??.. One one say about this, anything - " why??... Humphh.. Will you know sophia... We often do not sleep thinking something... You know what it is??... Let me tell you..."
Iris continues while making her eyes more darker and dangerous with blank face... "that there is someone who is sleeping peacefully"......
