My imaginary girlfriend (Part-12)

Its dark here and the raven keeps crying at this ungodly hour. There is too much blood in my hand, and I have no idea how to get rid of it. "Its blind all over, I cannot find you, can you hear me?" I cried in that lonely heath. The wind went past me making a soft whistling sound. I decided against giving up and kept walking for months and years but the night would not pass. "Anybody there, help me please", I cried. The raven shrieked in reply.

When I gained my consciousness, I found Jai sitting next to me on the bed.

Jai: Thank God, you scared the crap out of me.

Me: How long was I out?

Jai: Ten to fifteen minutes perhaps.

Me: You did not tell mom about this did you?

Jai: Was almost going to, but now I guess its okay. Hey, I better stay here for the night, it will be fun.

Me: Thanks Jackass.

We spent the entire night playing cards, gossiping about all the girls he met in college, and smoking cigars.

Jai: Its such a surprise, when from did you start smoking.

Me: From today.      I winked.

Jai: So what have you decided?

Me: About police? I dont think that is a very good idea, provided if someone was really there then she is either dead or alive and that ends the story. But what if..........

Jai: What if?

He kept staring at me trying to guess out the answer.

Me: Nothing, just do me one favour. Forget whatever you know, as if this day never happened.

Jai: As you say bro. Anyway its too complicated even for the police to get through this matter, better let it go.

I smiled in reply. Yes it was complicated and I had gradually started taking a secret pleasure in that little game between us.
