School got over. This time he didn't come behind me, because I went behind him.
I started walking with him and then he said,
"What's the matter? Why do you look scared? Did you see a ghost or something?"
I said, "Yes."
He said, "Really?"
I said, "Yes."
He asked again, "Where did you see it?"
I said, "I see that ghost every day, but today I looked at it carefully."
He said, "Ohhh…"
I told him, "I'm not joking."
He said, "Okay, then introduce me to that ghost."
I said, "Go and look at yourself in the mirror."
He laughed and got a little confused.
Then I clearly said, "I am talking about you."
He stayed quiet for a while, and I also stayed silent.
Then he said, "Am I a ghost?"
I laughed.
I said, "Of course. Just think, if you were a human, you would have shown yourself earlier or met me. But you stayed hidden like a ghost."
And—
He said, "And what else…?"
I said, "And now when you have come in front of me, I am not even able to speak clearly."
He was understanding everything, and I understood that.
I said to him, "Do you like me?"
His heartbeat was very fast, he was not able to say anything.
My breaths also started getting faster. I stopped there and sat at a nearby tea shop.
He also came behind me and sat beside me.
He said to me…
???
Now you tell me… what do you think he said?
Did he say "I love you" or "I like you"… or something else?
Think about it and then comment… let's see how right your guess is
