THE NIGHT WITH NISHAN
the unexpected guest
RAFI
My name’s Rafi, and my best mate is Zisan. We’re both 23, living in a quiet part of town.
ZISAN
: “Oy, Rafi. Bit of an ask… Could Nisan stay at yours tonight? He’s in a spot of trouble.”
RAFI
: I didn’t even think twice. “No worries, mate. Tell him to come over.”
RAFI
Now, Nisan isn’t your everyday guest. He’s Zisan’s older brother—and he’s been hiding from the police, allegedly tied up in a murder case.
NISHAN
“Rafi, has Zisan told you I’m coming?”
RAFI
: “Yeah, come on over. You’re safe here.”
SO IETY
: Ten minutes later, Nisan knocked on the door. He stepped in wearing joggers and a plain vest.
NISHAN
“Got a spare lungi or something to sleep in?”
RAFI
i: “Course,” I said, handing him one from the wardrobe.
SO IETY
Narration (Rafi): He took off his vest and trousers, folded everything neatly, and laid down next to me on the floor mattress.
SO IETY
Narration (Rafi): We were both in lungis, shirtless, scrolling through our phones while he put a film on.
Narration (Rafi): By midnight, I dozed off.i): Sometime later, I half woke up and saw the flicker of the screen still on.
: Nisan was wide awake, watching something on his phone. It wasn’t just any movie—definitely the adult kin Caught off guard, I said nothing. But he noticed me looking. Quickly turned the screen off.
NISHAN
“Sorry, Rafi. Couldn’t sleep… Just needed something to distract me.”
RAFI
: I just shrugged. “No big deal. Everyone does it now and then.”
