It's 1:40 am and I can't sleep.

Why?

Because I'm hungry.

Yes! At freaking 1:40 a.m. and it's not like I didn't eat dinner, I did but still.

What should I do? It's too late to ask Di and since I'm at Shubman's house, I don't even know where they keep all the snacks.

Well, sbse acha snack toh uske kamre me so raha hoga. LOL.

(The best snack must be sleeping in his room.)

I giggled at that thought but soon, rumbling of my stomach reminded me that I'm really hungry. I can't go rummaging for food in the kitchen at 1:40ish am either because what if anyone sees me? It's just my first day in this house.

Looteri Dulhan smjhenge beta.

(They'll think of you as a robber bride.)

So, the best solution for this problem is to drink water and sleep.

I got up to drink water from the bottle I kept beside my bed just to find it empty too.

PERFECT.

I huffed in annoyance because now, I have to get up from my bed, walk downstairs, fill up my water bottle then walk again and come back up.

Ughh too much work for my lazy ass!

But I don't really have any other option so, I got up and went downstairs. This house is huge and to be honest, a little scary for someone new. I just hope that I don't get lost and that too at night.

When I reached downstairs, I could see a well lit kitchen. Why are all the lights in the kitchen on?

Rich people and their shenanigans.

I walked towards the water dispenser to fill my bottle when I noticed chopped vegetables on the countertop in my right.

Who's cooking at this hour?

Just then I heard footsteps and felt someone tap on my shoulder.

What the fuckkkk? I turned around in reflex ready to scream my heart out but then I felt a hand covering my mouth. My eyes widened because of the sudden contact.

'Shhhhhh' Shubman shushed me by enacting it with his other hand.

Ohhh it's him.

What the fuck? My heart was beating like a drum. Why does he always startle me like this?

He removed his hand from my mouth and whispered, 'You'll wake everyone up.'

'You scared me, again.' I said dramatically keeping hands on my chest and breathing heavily. I emphasized the word "again" because seriously, twice in a few hours.
