Santhosh Sunita Fanfiction

Chapter 9: The stalker

Its 10 in the morning, Sunita was at the police station. She was making a complaint on a stalker that have been following her since last year. At first he was pretending to be a fan, but slowly he started following her everywhere. He kept messaging her on insta. Threatening her to marry him. And last night, he showed up at her house. That was the worse nightmare Sunita could have. She was drinking tea on her balcony like she does every night. And all of a sudden, she hears a guy shouting her name. And there he was. Her creepy stalker. Now he found where she lives too. Sunita was scared for her life. She started screaming and ran to the apartment secretary's house. They ended up calling the police. Unfortunately, the stalker ran off before the police arrived. The police officer told Sunita to make a complaint at the police station the next day. 

Sunita still didn't feel safe staying at her house that night. So, she ended up spending the night at her friend's house. After making the complaint that morning, she went back home and she was still shaking from what happened last night. She quickly locked the door and all the windows. There was a beep. Sunita checked her phone and she received a message. It was the stalker again. The message read "You think you can escape from me? Only this one time. I am not gonna leave you. Marry me". Sunita's stomach dropped after reading that. She quickly called her friend to let them know. She also posted about this on her Whatsapp status so that everyone she knew will know about this situation. If anything happened to her they would know who did it. She was getting messages from all her friends saying not to worry the police will take care of this. 

It's been a week since the stalker messaged her. He did not text anything after that. But Sunita was still scared for her life everyday. Living alone can be so scary and she did not feel safe in her own house. Her friend would visit her every now and then to check on her. But at the back of her mind, she still had that fear that the stalker can come from anywhere and at anytime. Every night she was going to sleep really scared. She had sleepless night just because she was scared of the stalker. Her friend was visiting her today. They planned to go for dinner together.

It was a new restaurant that just opened 15 minutes away from her house. And she had heard good reviews about this restaurant. So of course she have to try the food. They have ordered the special briyani from the restaurant and waited for the food to arrive. "You know it's been a week since the stalker last messaged me? But I am still scared he's gonna attack me from somewhere" Sunita said while checking her surroundings if the stalker was there. "Don't worry he won't come into your life anymore" her friend replied. "How sure can you be?" Sunita asked again. "I just know Sunita. Trust me. He won't be in your life anymore" her friend said. "What are you saying? Do you know something I don't know? What are you hiding from me? Tell me" Sunita insisted. "Okay okay fine. It's because of Santhosh" her friend said. Sunita choked on the water that she was drinking. "Did I hear you right? Did you say Santhosh?" Sunita asked. "Yes. After you posted the Whatsapp status last week, Santhosh called me and asked what happened. I told him everything. Lastly he said he will handle the problem and not to tell you about this" her friend explained. "What? And you decided to hide this from me?" Sunita asked angrily. Why is he interfering in life? Why is he doing all this for me?, Sunita thought.

After eating they headed back to Sunita's house. Her friend already left at this point.

Sunita is lying in her bed and staring at her phone. She still had Santhosh's number saved in her phone. She was contemplating if she should call him or not. She had so many questions running through her head. Why is he doing all these for? I thought he didn't like me, then here he is doing all these things I never asked for. He is so confusing! Why can't he just be honest and tell me if he likes me?
