Man in the photo

I went and bought two big bottles of beer to drown in my sorrow all alone. I emptied both my bottles and got drunk. And when I am drunk, even I don’t know what I’m doing. Like, after I got drunk, I picked the photo of that handsome guy and started talking to it.

“How idiotic I am to choose that stupid person, that James, that fucking person. Today, I regret my decision to choose that person. If only you were my boyfriend,“ I said while pointing towards that photo.

”But whose photo is this? Let it go. Do you know one thing? That you are very, very handsome and sexy compared to my stupid ex. I wish you were my boyfriend. Now go and bring some water for me,” telling the photo in a completely drunken state while crying.

“Shit, I forgot that you are a photo, who can’t bring water to me, so let me go and get it myself.”

Then, suddenly, the lights went out. She looked at the watch on her wrist. It was 9.30 pm. “I’ll go and get the water,” she said, and stood at her place. She turned on the flashlight on her phone, picked the photo, saying, “Let me pick you up, so that you can save me from any danger,” and started walking in the dark to get the water. While she was filling the water in the bottle, she felt like somebody was also present in her house.

As she turned around to have a look, the flashlight on her phone turned off; her phone was dead with no battery. She had forgotten to charge her phone. All scared, she hurriedly picked up the candle and matchbox she had kept earlier and lit the candle.

And after that, she looked around in the kitchen, but no one was to be found. She let out a sigh of relief and started to walk towards the living room. But suddenly she froze in her place; she saw someone standing there. “Who's there?” she asked, a bit scared. Not getting any replies, she asked again. “WHO ARE YOU?”

She was still in a drunken state and couldn’t stand properly; she was wobbling, and the person in front of her started coming near her.

“Hey, don’t come near me, or he will beat you,” by showing the photo. The shadowy figure disappeared immediately. And in the next second, it was in front of her eyes.

She stepped back in fear, but then suddenly noticed something: the person in front of her and the person in the photo in her hand were the same.

Drunken, dumb Anita started comparing the photo with the man.

“Is this you?” asked while making a silly face.

Suddenly, she loses her balance and falls on him.

He grabs her by her waist and pulls her closer towards him, so that she doesn’t fall.

“Oh⁓ is this a dream? Or has my wish come true? Burp⁓”

While tracing his face with her finger, she said.
