what if the Rose doesn't bloom?

7.Stalker

I tapped my feet in anger. And went back to home. As I endered my front yard, I saw my main door open. My heart skipped a beat. Someone's inside. Definitely, cause I properly remember I closed the door.
Who it can be, a thief stealing all my stuffed toys, or murderer waiting for me to try his new knifeon my neck, a monster who came searching for vampires or a ghost whose body might be buried in the backyard. Really!!!
Should I inform the cops?
Nahhhh, let's deal with it. From the boundary to main door,
I tried all the tricks to avoid getting catched by someone. And finally I was at the door.
My nerves getting slowly misplaced.
I entered with least noise that I could make.
Someone was sitting on my couch.
My couch, it is not a public property.
You should have asked dude, you'll surely die.

I took the flowervase from the rack and stepped towards the hall.

"So, you're still silly?"

My feet stopped. And a vibration rang through my body.

"You were clearly visible on the front small mirrors. Will you ever learn to fight? How will you deal with issues like this?"

Is he really chit chatting. I thought I am not that much rude to avoid answering.
But what to answer. This guy sitting on the couch , no ...my couch is teaching me lessons of defense. No instead taunting me and making fun.
He turned around and the flowervase left my hand, ok ok, my hand left the flowervase. No guys, It didn't broke, it was metallic , that's why I chose it to hit him.
But, my soul broke into pieces. Why?

"So finally , after 3 years."

"Poppy, you stupid. You almost gave me a heart attack. "

"That's what poppy is famous for."

So let me tell you...that's poppy. No bad comments. She is a girl. The male voice, well she is a voice artist. And a doctor professionally, heart attack you know.
We were neighbours and are best friends. She went to study and now we are meeting.
She is my live secret box. If you know her, you know me.

I was really very happy to see her.
"So how did you plan to come here?"

"Well, I am having a session here for a couple of year. That's a medical experience session."

"And how did you unlock my door."

"Come on Rose, of course I had the key. You dad gave it to me. And has told me to keep an eye on you."

"He is never off duty."

"So you live offtown, it's nice. A calm peaceful place far away from the peeping honking noises. "

"Aren't you hungry?"

"That's something nice I've heard from you now."

I laughed and went to the kitchen to make some fish and rice.
We cooked together and enjoyed the meal.

"Where's you luggage ?"

"It's in the camp."

"So you'll go back today only.?"

"Ya, I've to. "

"Listen, I've my room empty if not I've an extra. So you better come and live with me wherever you camping ends."

"Don't worry. I'll let you enjoy alone. And also I love this place."

The time flew with the conversation and it was dark.
She asked a leave and I took my bike out to drop her.
We were on the highway and I was on the raod I was standing this afternoon. It went towards the forest. I followed the road as poppy told. I dropped her at her camp that was bout half miles in from the main road and she promised to return.
I turned my bike and brought it back to the main road. It was scary. I heard howlings and barks. It was all empty. But there was a something like a bungalow or factory or like a lab place there standing between trees. It appeared like a haunted palace. So I glided the wheels on the road and reached home.
I had do my work my sleep early. I prepared my dinner, enjoyed some shows on TV and soon I was on bed. I slept and woke up early. I decided to go for a walk and I walked almost a mile. When I was back I took a bath, I packed my bag ,had my sandwich and roke my bike to the campus.
I remembered my yesterday and it waves my body for a second. I took a deep breathe and entered thinking I can manage and adjust.
