"Your nightmares follow you like a shadow, forever."

A girl was standing on a hill top in a white Anarkali Churidar, her hairs which were open freely dancing with the beats of breeze, her Dupatta was flowing with the air. Her lips were adorning with a serene smile, but her eyes were searching something, as if she is waiting for someone.

Temperature of the day suddenly started falling. Cool breeze which was kissing her face in every small intervals leaving her with closed eyes. All of a sudden some kids came running towards her, holding some white boards in their hands.

She immediately sat in front of them when they took some few steps backward and started turning the boards which showed

"WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

She immediately started finding the person, she know he is somewhere near. She can feel him. Her heart can feel his beats. But before she could find him more she heard crackling sound of fireworks everywhere giving a feel of Diwali, her favourite festival and he have a knowledge of this.

She immediately started jumping seeing the area lightened up with fire crackers. But she stopped her activity as her heart informed about his arrival.

She somehow controlled her racing heartbeat and turned towards him. Her heart immediately filled with happiness seeing the most serene smile of him.

Smile which can brighten up her most gloomiest day. She looked into his Dark brown orb which twinkled seeing her happiness. Eyes which shows immense love for her, eyes which shows how much important she is for him.

He asked her answer in gesture and she just nodded her head. His charming face immediately lit up with a big smile. Smile for which she can do anything. His eyes twinkled with happiness hearing her answers..

He immediately hugged her and picked her up in his arms. Their smiles and laughter started echoing in the area. Kids started jumping and giggling. Moon and stars started shining brightly. She again got lost in his eyes and smile.

He seeing her lost look just shaked his head and kissed her forhead. She immediately hugged him back. When they finally parted he aimed at her lips ...

But suddenly every light got vanished, as if someone kept a black veil on all the lights. Kids who were giggling and jumping a minute back disappeared. Fire crackers slowly evanesced. His eyes and smile faded away.

Everything became invisible. She started searching for him. But he was not there. She cried for help but no one was there and suddenly she found a face, a chopped face lying in front of her in a pool of blood.

She screamed her lungs out taking a name

"Poojaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.."

Naina woke up screaming Pooja 's name and that broke Pooja 's deep sleep too. She immediately came running towards her assuming Neeksha to be in washroom and asked a petrified Naina who was all wet with sweat..

"Kya hua?kya hua tujhe? bhediya phir ghus aya tujhme?kha to nahi gayi na tu mujhe?Aise chila ke kyu liya tune mera naam? 

Pakka se tu mujhko kha gayi na sach sach bol nainaa, hayeee! meri phuti kismat mujhko kha gyi yeh ladki,ya phir ek seconds books ko kyu ghure jaa rahi hain tu?Yaar kitna pasina - pasina ho gayi hain yeh ladki, pagal tujhe kya laga main tere books chura lungi.  

 Hat pagal, pooja to logo ki nindein churati hain, dil churati hain, lip gloss, dresses churati hain agar jyada hua to khana bhi kabhi kabhi, yeh  books bhi koi churane ki chiz hain bhala?le pani pee."

Naina gulped down a glass of water in a go and hold Pooja tightly, touching her face and neck, assuring herself she is alright when Neeksha came back after bathing. Seeing a confused Pooja and petrified Naina, she immediately ran towards them putting her towel on the edge of Naina's bed and asked

"Kya hua Naina ko Pooja? Aur tu aise bhoot banke kyun khadi hain?" 

Pooja immediately replied

"Mujhse kya puch rahi hain Niks, main bhoot bankar nahi khadi hu.Isne mujhe bulaya hi aise, jaise koi bhukamp aagaya ho aur uske niche main dab gayi hu, aur isko kya hua mujhe khud samajh aaye, to tujhe kuch bataun na. Kab se puche jaa rahi hun ki kya hua hain? 

Bata de chikhi kyun hain tu? Tab se bas mera hath kas ke pakad ke baithi hain aur baar- baar mera chehra gardan check kar rahi hain jaise gardan na hui meri, tennis ki ball ho gayi jo kahin ud jayegi."

Naina chided her back 

"Ek thappad padega na kheench ke to sara majaak yahi nikal jayega tera samjhi".

Neeksha who got confused with their behavoiur asked 

 "Koi batayega bhi mujhko ki hua kya hain? Ya tum dono ko aise hi lad ke waqt barbad karna hain?"

Naina after somehow controlling herself, started explaining her dreams while fumbling badly. After sometime when she almost finished her dream said 

"Isme sabse ajib kya tha tujhe pata hai neekshu, pooja?maine aaj tak..aaj tak kabhi koi chehra saaf saaf nhi dekha hain,jo dekhe sab dhundhle per aaj maine,maine pooja ka chehra dekha aur  phir uski..us ladke ki ankhon ko dekha...KON THA WOH,WOH CHEHRA, WOH ANKHEIN...ABHAY....kaun hai yeh ABHAY? Mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa rha hain ,baar baar main bas yahi naam chillaye jaa rhi thi." 

Pooja and Neeksha who were equally confused looked at each other and said 

 "Kiski ankhein?kiske baare me baat kar rahi hain tu?"

Naina who was trying recollect every little details of the dream started describing those eyes 

"Mujhe khud nahi pata tumhe kya batau?Mujhe kuch samjh nahi aa raha hain, bas woh ankhein kuch tha unme - ek ajib si kashish,khichaav tha unme,aisa lag rahan tha ki jaise woh mujhe bula rahi thi, kheench rahi thi mujhe apni taraf, jaise ki un aankho ko meri hi talaash thi,unme meri hi tadap thi ,ek ajeeb si gehraai thi un aankho mein, man kar raha tha bas dekhti jaau ek pal ke liye bhi apni palkein na jhapkaau. 

Ek ajeeb sa sukon tha un aankho mein, ek aisa sukoon jo kisi bande ko uske khuda ki bandagi karte waqt mehsus hota hain, mujhe bhi kuch aisa hi mehsus ho raha tha us waqt, jaise wohi sab kuch tha mera, bas wahi thi meri duniya ,bas use her pal her waqt rakhu apni ankhon ke samne.

Jaise bas UN AANKHO ke alawa aur kuch dekhna hi nahi chhahti thi main us waqt, jaise mere chehre se hote hue mere dil ki gehraiyoo tak ko chu rahi thi woh, jaha aaj tak maine kisi ko aane to door jhakne tak nahi diya jis dil mein, aaj usi dil mein us waqt, woh ankhein kaise pahuch gayi?

Woh ANKEHIN, aisa lag raha tha jaise ki mere har khyal, har khwab ko, har umeed ,har saans ko woh janti bhi thi aur shyad pehchanti bhi thi...un ankho ko dekh arhi thi to darr nahi tha ander, na hi koi jhijhak thi koi, main... Naina... jo aaj tak kisi ki aankho mein dekhna to door, kisi ko nazar tak utha ke nahi dekhti thi,aaj un annkhon ko dekh ke mujhe ek ajeeb sa ,ek anjana sa ehsaas ho raha tha.. 

JAISE KI KOI ANJAANA SA PURANA RISHTAA.......

 IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS HYPNOTICC......"

Pooja immediately holding her head said 

"Nikss, zara 2 glass thanda pani leke aana to, ek mere pine ke liye leke aa aur dusra iske muh pe phek ke maar. Tum dono baith ke karo logon ki aankhon pe,ghutno pe,phefdo pe P.h.d, research, thesis likh lo ki dil ki kitani gehrai tak jaa rahi hain, ya fir kidney ke konse gurdo ke phefdo mein phas rahi hain.

Main chali nahane, bhad me jaao tum dono, achi khasi subah ki aisi ki taisi kar di dono dayano ne milke." 

Neeksha immediately laughed out loud and Naina looked shocked and she said 

"Yeh kya tha?" 

Neeksha replied back 

"Sahi keh rhi hain Pooja .Kuch jyada hi sochne lag gayi hain tu. Waqt pe chod de sab kuch aur ready ho jaa, we are already getting late for the class. Uthhhhh lazy bum uth ja jaldi se."

And Naina reluctantly started getting ready for the day.. 

Classroom no. 8

Naina, Pooja , Neeksha sitting on their regular seat and yawning as they have no interest on history of India till 1206 AD. Pooja who was again sitting in between Naina and Neeksha said tiredly

"Kitna pakau hain yeh sab yaar. Chal na peeche ke gate se, canteen bhag chalte hain. Yeh Miss Rosy dhyan to dene se rahi."

Naina hold Pooja's hand and said 

"Pehle hi din college ke ,jee bhar ke gaali khane ke baad bhi mann nahi bhara kya tera jo abhi  bhi chal di dolte huye canteen? Chup chap yahin baith samjhi. Aur khabardar Neekshu agar iska saath diya na tune toh,teri bhi khair nahi aaj." 

 Neeksha immediately made faces as she was equally pissed with this history class but before she could say anything pooja said 

"Niks bacha le na behan please. Yeh Nainu toh hain hi maha padhaku,sadu, khadus,akdu aur ek number ki pakaau ladki isko chod na. Tu chal na please please...pretty please."

 Neeksha looked towards Naina who immediately said no but Neeksha gave a smile and said

"Pooja, chal boriyat bhagana hain na? Toh bahar kyun jaye uske liye? Jab Class mein hi ho jaye thoda fun and too much masti? Just wait and watch." 

She winked at them and started typing something in her phone. After sometime she looked towards Pooja and said 

"Ab aayega maza." 

Neeksha played a creaking sound of a rusted door which alerted not only Ms. Rosy but other fellow class mates too 

"What was that? Who made that sound?"

Everyone looked puzzled and saw each others face. Getting no answer Ms. Rosy again started teaching where she left. As soon as she turned towards the projector she heard someone farted. She again turned towards them and shouted 

"Bunch of hooligans. Who is the one ? who did this? I want an answer right now." 

 But again she received silence from all. She muttering some not so sweet words again resumed her work. 

After 5 minutes when everyone thought that everything is fine now, pen fall from her hand when she bowed down to pick it up, she heard the sound of clothes getting torned.

She became cautious as she felt its her skirt whose stitching got ripped. She immediately stood straight and to her luck bell rang loudly announcing the class to end. 

Naina broke into laughter seeing her teacher's face but somehow controlled herself where as Neeksha and pooja made the most innocent face they could ever made oblivious to this fact that Rajveer and Harshad who were crossing the class got rooted over there where Rajveer got lost in memory lanes, Harshad was enjoying the prank Naina, Pooja and Neeksha pulled on Ms. Rosy whom they hate.

When they heard the bell Harshad said

"Ise pehle ki Ms.Rosy bahar aaye. Bhag Rajveer bhag. Waise hi yeh bilkul pasand nahi karti hain,hum chaar ko, abhi yaha pe agar khada dekhegi to sochegi ki hum do ne hi kiya hain yeh kaand. Toh nikal le abhi ke abhi."

They immediately moved from there when Ms. Rosy left the class almost running, leaving giggling and chuckling Naina, Neeksha, Pooja behind..

Garden Area, Hindu College

Alekh and Sameera like everyday sitting at their favourite spot while Sameera was busy in filing her nails, Alekh was busy in showing different different videos on his phone when Sameera said him irritatedly

"Allu paka mat yaar. Already bahut pareshan ho chuki hun main. Tu aur mat kar atleast."

Alekh immediately straightened himself and said

"Isliye toh dikha raha tha yeh saare videos tujhe, taki has le tu bhi thoda sa."

Sameera immediately snapped back

"Nahi chahiye mujhe kuch bhi Alekh,kuch nahi dekhna mujhe, sans chaiye lene do please.Bas 2 pal sukun ke chahiye.

Ek toh yeh college jisne mujhe pagal bana ke rakhan hua hain, upar se jo bhi thoda sa bhi chain - sukun aur shanti thi woh bhi nahi rahi hain. Aur isme tu bhi tadka maar de aajaa ab tu bhi tang kar le."

Alekh gave her the bottle which he carried with himself to take some sips

"Le Paani pee aur lambi lambi saans le . Aur yeh baat maine pehle bhi puchi thi, tujhse phir se puch rha hun,pehle kyun nahi kahan detail mein?"

Sameera replied back with misty eyes

"Kya batati main tum sabko? Kaise samjhati? Ab jab sab kuch pata hain tum logon ko, tab bhi tum logon ke liye mushkil tha maan lena toh bol tab us waqt kya batati?

Aur sabse badi baat agar maan na hi hota toh mere aur Rajveer ke naa karne se hi maan jate."

Alekh immediately said

"Sam, tu bhi janti hain yahan aana humara nahi Nanu aur Bhaiya ka decision tha. Unko laga tha yeh college humare career ke liye sabse best hoga. Toh hum kaise naa karte?Majburi hi sahi per aana padta humein yaha."

Sameera sighed heavily and said

"Baat toh phir bhi ghum phir ke yahi aake khatam ho jaati hain naa Alekh. Unka decision naa humare liye kabhi galat hua hain aur naa hi hoga. Isliye unhone jo kaha unki baat chup chap maan li. Bas yeh dard ab saathi ban gaya hain mera ,jisse mujhe hi ladna hoga AKELE. Baki chod yeh sab, bas tum teen mere saath humesha rahoge na to aise 1000 dard jhel lun yeh kya chiz hain."

Alek immediately side hugged her and placed a soft kiss on her forhead saying everything will be fine soon.

Ashkon ke bojh se bhari yeh palkien meri....
Ateet ka woh manjar hain meri har sans pe bhari...

Sansein bhi ab aati jati hai khauff ki galiyo se hokar yuh...

Banjar sa woh khali rasta aahat deke hain yuh darata...

Kale sayo ke woh palchin ghere hain mujhko aise...

Jaise meri duniya ke hi hain wo kuch khaas se kisse..

What should one do when you see dreams coming true or better to say nightmares coming true? Faces, places which you saw in your nightmares are the faces you meet everyday. Will you be able to calm your nerves?

Pain, agony are part of your life but can you fight with it regularly and put a facade of happiness so that your near ones remains happy? Can someone be so strong?
