Everything turned black. It's like a nightmare. The whole town that was a clear sky now turned into gothic black. The black clouds were somehow paranormal. It's enough for anyone to get scared. My mom already fainted but my dad took no care of her Instead he covered my face with his coat that he was wearing and dragged me in the house before anyone can see me.

When we were inside my dad doesn't rest. He closes all the windows and door. Richie already got my mom inside and let her rest on the couch. Then he took me to the rusty old basement. The stairs are made of rusty old matel. The whole basement was filled with used old furnitures and dad's old tools. He throws me on a old couch.

" I told you not to set foot here before you are twenty." He said in a angry voice that I never heard. As long as I can remember he was always very happy and jolly fellow. Specially with me. Because I am his princess.

"Well dad! I will be twenty tomorrow. I didn't wanted to miss you guys on my birthday." I yelled while I was crying.

Nop was looking down from the top of the stairs. My dad was blocking the entrance of the basement.

" Anyway! Now that you're here no one should know that you're here so stay here untill they figure out whom to send this time. There's a lot of young girls. And nop!" He looked back at nop. Who was so scared of the sight that he took few steps back.

" Stay here with her." The he grabbed his hands and pulled him inside. My dad is a tall English man and nop was just a avarage thai man so it wasn't hard for my dad to pull him down.

Then he closed the door. So everything went dark only one light  was on that wasn't enough to lit up the whole room.

" Sorry nop!" I said weirdly I was very guilty for dragging him into this mess.

" Is all that fairytales and folk stories true?" He asked in a shaky voice.

I was confushed myself, yet I said as much as I understood," seems like they are. How it can be?. I used to think that they all were just some superstition. But the clouds...!"

I couldn't finish the last part.

" Well could it be that the clouds are just clouds. And it's just a huge coincidence." It wasn't clear whom he was convincing me or himself.

" But no clouds were able turn a day into a night!" I said being so scared that I was I wanted to be pampered by him.

I said in a surrendering voice..," I am scared nop!" Thinking him to be a piller for me.

" Me too! Why do I have to be trapped here.?" He was in a complaining voice.

I was surprised and disgusted. At same time a footstep was heard. The door opened making a very crocky sound.

The door was built into the floor making it impossible to see when it's closed. Only with a special handle can open the door and only from outside. If someone ever gets trapped inside there's no way out. Countless times me and richie would get stuck here in our childhood.

The door was opened by my dad he gave me a change of clothing. Mainly  pajamas  and some snacks. Then he closed the door. He wasn't a bit worried that a man was in that basement with me. Well not his mistake, he new we're lovers so it shouldn't be a problem in his Western point of view.

But it was a huge problem in view as asians. He also send some change of clothes for nop.

He already changed his clothes being a guy. I was very ashamed to even think about changing in front of my lover for a year.

" Change no becky!" He  said.

" Easy for you to say.!" I said sulking.

" Well there isn't something I already haven't seen."

I widened my eyes with his remarks. I crossed my arms and looked at him angrily.

" It's just that...! I was saying I have seen other women you know....no I meant in the books. No mangas..I meant....you get it. I have seen women." He said stumbling over his own words.

Such a idiot why did I ever excepted his proposal?

" No! Nop! Look away! Close you eyes. Now!" I said.

I thought about it I was sick of the clothes I was wearing since morning so they were stinking too.

He put his hands over his eyes. But I clearly see his eyes.

" Turn around!" I said.

He followed. Then I went behind a screen that was in the basement.

After change of clothes I looked through the basement to find something to pass my time.

I found stack of books from my childhood. I was quickly engaged. But not nop. He was still looking for something to pass his time. He was also complaining a lot. I just flipped through the pages of my books and listened to music on my airpods.

He finally found our old tv.

" Does it still work?" He asked like a young demanding boy.

" May be not sure.!."

He wasn't impressed with the answer and he didn't even tried to hide it.

God I am stuck here with him for a hour in the basement and I wanna go out how am I gonna spend my life with him. But I am very bad at socialising. He is the only one who asked me out. So I shouldn't waste my chance right?

He somehow plugged it in and started watching some movies we tapped on it like a thousand years old. The tv was a old box tv. We had that until finally I won a tv on a spelling bee compitition when I was ten.

I was never fond of watching tv except the discovery and animal kingdom and only when it was talking about sharks.

So there were lots of Shark documentaries and nop seemed to not like them at all.

But suddenly I stared thinking about what was going on outside of the basement.
