I was in a room, a very large vacate room. It had 4 large windows. There was a bench at a corner. I don't know what's this place. I saw this first time. How I came here? I slowly took my steps towards that bench. My foot steps echoed in this room. I heard cooing of a pigeon, I glanced at that direction. There was a pigeon nest on a wooden lamp stand to the wall.

I peeped out from the window, I was in 2nd floor of an unknown large building. There was a large grass garden without a single tree around this building. What's this place? I observed the whole room, there was no one other than me. There was a door leading to a corridor and the door was wide open. 

I heard some foot steps from corridor. I was already little scared of this unknown haunted type place, now these foot steps. I built my courage and headed to corridor. I wave of relief hit me. He  was coming towards me. 

He wore a maroon T-shirt paired with snuff coloured trousers and black casual shoes. I waved at him with smile, but he didn't react. He ignored me and passed forward.

"Varun", I called him. He didn't even turned back. May be he didn't hear me.

"Varun", I yelled loud. No reaction.

"Varun", I yelled more loud. Why he ignored me? I ran towards him yelling his name. 

He opened a door and went through that and I followed him. What the fuck is this? How I came back to same room? Again I ran out of the room. Shit, I again came back to same room. What's happening here? Where is Varun? Sweat dripped from my forehead, cooing of that pigeon gave shivers down the spine. My heard thudding in my ears. 

I went near a window and peeped out. Now there was a tree in the garden. A girl in teal coloured dress sat on the bench under that tree facing her back. I held the metal bars of the window and tried to see her clearly. 

"Hello", I yelled. I wish at-least she will turn back. 

"Helloooo", I yelled loud.  

She suddenly raised from her place and turned back. I couldn't see her face clearly. She waved her hand, I replied back. Wait, she was not waving for me. There was someone else. Varun walked towards her. He was smiling with her and hugged her. Tears started rolling down my eyes. 

"Varun"......" Varun" 

My efforts were vain. No one listening me. I trapped in this unknown room. I tried to pull the metal bars, but no use. That girl again sat on the bench, Varun also joined with her. He laid on bench and rested his head in her lap. He's very happy with her. I tried to pull the bars again and again. Suddenly I fell back.

****************

I woke with a jerk. I'm covered with sweat, tears wetted my face. Dream? All this is a  dream? I glanced my surrounding. I'm in my room, Meera sleeping beside me. I grab water bottle and gulped some water. 

It's the worst nightmare I ever had. The visual of Varun with another girl continuously flashed in my mind. I couldn't stop my tears. I checked the time in mobile, it's 2:30am. I wiped my tears and laid back. I tried to sleep again, but I couldn't. I'm scared of having the same dream again. I immediately dialed to Varun. I cut the call after 2 rings. I don't want to disturb him at this hours for my stupid dream.

I started checking our pics. Few months back I captured a pic without his knowledge and I love that pic. I want to use it as my screen page of my mobile. I hope one day I will get that chance. My phone buzzed and it's call from him. 'Chai! you are an idiot you disturbed him' I cursed myself and lifted the call.

"Chaitra..... What happen?" he asked with sleepy voice.

"Nothing.... So sorry Varun I disturbed you", I said.

"Are you fine?" he asked. 

"Yeah", I said.

"Now tell me the truth... what happen?" he asked. He will definitely laugh for my reason.

"Nothing happened", I lied with determination.

"Then why you woke at this hours?" he sked.

"It's just.... just... casually", I blabbered.

"Lier.... tell me the truth", he confronted.

"Don't laugh. I had a very bad dream", I said. I heard his chuckle.

"Okay.... what happen in dream? Did any Zombie eat you alive?" he asked.

"No..... you ignored me", I said in one go.

"Then it's really a dream", he chuckled. Listening that from him, I felt so so so happy. 

"You are thinking like this.... like I ignore you.... or leave you, hah?" he asked.

"No.... not like that", I said. 

"Then?" he asked.

"Varun", I yelled in whispering tone. He chuckled.

"I miss you", we whispered in unison. 

"I miss you more", I whispered.

"No.... I miss you more", he said with little loud tone.

"No.... I miss you more more and more", I raised my tone.

"You don't know how much I miss you", he taunted.

"You can't even imagine how much I miss you", I snapped.

"I don't want to imagine because I know I miss you more."

"I won't agree with you because I miss you more."

"Aah! Chaitra.... Can't you accept the truth?"

"You are not accepting the truth." Our argument heated.

"It's not truth...."

"Don't you dare to mess with me.... be a good boy and accept that I miss you more."

"Are you trying to scare me?" 

"Haa.... yes.... better accept it."

"Oh.... you funny.... you are trying for vain", he chuckled. Enough, my patience crossed the limits. Can't he accept the simple truth?

"Varun...I'm warning... you better accept it", I yelled.

"Okay", he replied.

"What 'okay'?... say it properly", I ordered.

"What?"

"Say it 'Chaitra you miss me more'.... say it", I ordered. I heard his chuckles.

"Okay..... Chaitra... you are the one who missed me more..... okay... happy?.... ego satisfied?"

"Very happy and highly satisfied", I chuckled. 

"When will you come?" I asked. It's been 20 days I saw him. I miss him a lot, in addition to that this stupid night mare now.

"Approximately in 5 hours I will be there", he answered. 

"Okay", I replied.

"Okay?"

"Umm", I hummed. Suddenly I'm lack with words. But why? Silence from his side.

"Okay.... tell me why I ignored you in your dream?" he broke the ice.

"I won't tell you", I said firmly.

"Why?... I think I have right to know", he chuckled.

"You have no right for that", I said.

"I have... it's about me, so I have", he snapped.

"It's my own dream so you have no right", I snapped back. 

"You are evil", he commented.

"Ha ha ha... I know and thank you", I laughed dramatically.

"What else?" he asked. 

"Umm..... How's your journey?" I asked out of blue. I just want to talk to him little more longer. We continued our call....

*********************
