PLS# 1 Fallen Moon

11.Family

Aadhira's pov:

My eyelids were so tear stained that I felt so difficult to open it was stick like a gum to my skin. At last with great effort I opened to see stars shining bright in the dark sky.
Am I dead? Was my first thought.

Next second horrible incidents rushed into my mind making me to sit up so fast in the bed.
Where am I? Whose room is this?
'Karthick saved you from the monster remember? This must be his room.'
Said my poor brain.

I have a severe headache from the moment I woke up. I walked few steps to see a mirror hanging in the wall.
My right hand was bandaged and I had a small plaster in the forehead due to the cut.
My clothes were torn here and there but I was wearing a long white shirt over it which smelled awesome not to mention.
I was looking so stupid with this noodles hair and this costume.

There was big closet, dressing table and a couch.
Weird thing is all were grey in colour.

I found a guitar at the end of the room beside the door.
The most beautiful thing in the room is the big window above the bed.
The moonlight shine bright lighting up half of the room.

I somehow reached the door without blacking out in pain and opened to see Karthick sitting awkwardly in a chair sleeping with a laptop in his lap and papers all over him.

I went near him and removed the laptop and placed it aside in the table nearby and started to arrange the papers in which I spotted many chemistry formulas.
Being a chemistry addict I could stop myself from skimming it.

It had equations indicating usage of Anabolic steroids banned chemical drugs.

People consuming whatever product having this substance tends to be super active for a short period of time but as the days move it causes internal disorders.
While I was in self-diagnosis someone poked my arm.
Not someone it's Karthick idiot!
Said my stupid brain.

"Hi"
I smiled looking like a deer caught in headlight of he car.

"You woke up? What were you doing with my stuff?"
He asked in a half sleeping tone.

"Uhh.. it's nothing."
I tried to smile again.

"You feeling better now?"
He asked rubbing his eyes.

"Yah..."
My voice came down.

"I am not going to ask anything ok? But please just stay away from that dog!"
He sounded tensed.

"Sure don't worry."
My eyes were again pools remembering the incident.

He got off the chair and went into kitchen I guess as I was again piling up the stack of papers he passed a glass of lime juice.
Me Being me drank in one gulp.

"You are hungry!"
He said. It was more a statement than a question.

He went and again searched into his fridge and ended up with two pieces of pizza.

I started eating it happily like a pig.
He again switched on his laptop.

"Those formulas look fishy!"
I said biting a bit from pizza.

"How come you say that?"
He stiffened.

"Hello I am a Msc chemistry graduate!"
I said in a high tone..

"Oh yah right!"
He sounded amazed.

"These formulas detect a usage of a banned compound "
I said as a fact.

"Can you explain that to me?"
He asked curiously.

"Sure but I would need the full test report.."
I said eyeing the papers.
