When I came out of his room running to stop him, he got lost in the dark. Turning every light on my way on, I searched for him the entire floor, but I couldn't find him. I ran to my room, not knowing what to do.

Despite being switched off, all the balcony lights started flickering when I was about to step into my room.

The moment I set foot in my room, the light bulb in the room started blinking off and on periodically.

"Your phone battery is fully charged. Please disconnect the charger." my mobile phone audio alarm popped up.

I, being petrified, detached the phone from the charger, and started making a call to my senior in the south wing, far away from my room, when I felt a glimpse of legs of someone hanging from my room ceiling behind me.

I instantly turned back, only then, realizing it was all in my mind.

"I wonder what you are cultivating in this dry, non-growing season, buddy!" he answered my call mocking me as always.

"Can you come to my room? It's urgent!" I asked him to which he replied satirically, "What? Did your lover asked you to fuck her in front of me!"

"This ain't the time for jokes!" I yelled at him on the phone, "some crazy shit is happening to me. Please…, consider it serious." "Can you stop shouting and tell me what's happening there," he enquired. 

"Even if I say you won't believe it on the phone. Please come quickly. I am very much scared." I pleaded. "Don't worry! I am on my way and will be there any minute," he said, trying to cheer me up. 

"Thank god, you are here," I breathed a sigh of relief, hearing his footsteps approaching my room. My body started shivering and trembling in fear when I came out and caught the sight of my empty floor, frowzy and somber. "Please give me five minutes, I forgot to turn off the heater." he apologized from the phone, still being on the line, curdling through my blood, beginning to cause my nervous breakdown. 

Being freaked out, I rushed towards his room. I can still remember it was on the eighth time when I finally knocked on his door for real, being tired out ending up where I started for seven fucking run-outs. 

"What in the hell had happened to you? You look like shit," he called me in and offered me some water to drink.

"Wait! Wait for a second! Are you even real? Am I really in your room or I imagining things again? Have I gone crazy? I don't know what in the god's name is happening to me," I broke down and sobbed like a child.

He consoled me and gave me the courage to survive the breakdown, "Don't worry, nothing is happening to you! Just calm down for a second. I am here for you anytime."

"I won't go! I can't go to my room!" I asked him, "please let me sleep in your room."

"No problem you can stay here and I will see what's tearing you apart," opening his laptop, he asked me to watch a movie with him, for a movie insect he was.

He closed his laptop and switched off the light when I said, "I am exhausted. I will just lay down and try to take a nap." 

At 12:30 that night, when I woke up for the toilet, I found myself alone in an empty vacated room with neither him nor his luggage in the room. I ran out of that empty darkroom and made a call to him.

"What's up, dude? Your timing is worsening from day to day!" he said, picking up the call.

"I am on my way to salvation!" he replied on the phone joking on me and mocking me as always when I asked him where he was.

"Can't you try talking at least for once without mocking me?" I replied harshly.

 With me saying that he started yelling at me, "Where else I will be in the holidays, at this time of the night other than lying in my bed at my home, you fucker!"

My phone started vibrating over my ear when I was talking to him. It was Bhaskar calling on my phone. Immediately hanging up his call, I accepted Bhaskar's.

"Where the fuck are you? I looked for you everywhere! Tell me this is not a joke!"

"No, my darling! Don't get angry at me! I tried to do this the easy way! But Bhaskar here complicated the things for us! Sorry, Baby! Now I am left with no other choice!"
