A/n: hello again! I know I came back too soon but I had made this part and even had enough time to write today so here I am writing this part. Enjoy your reading!

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

(last chapter continued)

Ara scrolled through her phone on Instagram to distract herself from the incident which just happened. She was not one of those people who get scared easily, but the stalking thing was making her nervous. She doesn't want her photos and personal information to get leaked, but the stalker doesn't seem to back away. She promised herself to keep every problem to herself and she doesn't want to break noses of any more people, just because of them bulling her about those secrets; that is the only reason of her hating the secrets getting revealed.

And now you might be curious to know what secrets, but she won't reveal it unless it is some important reason so wait for the right time for her to reveal it,

And back to present, she was really tired; keeping her mobile away from herself on the bed side table, she drifted off to sleep.......
ignoring her fear for the nightmare she always gets, not knowing that something else is awaiting her in her dreams, someone she missed a lot these years.............
these 11 years. Her sleep might be peaceful this time.......................................
but who knows?

______________________________________

5-year-old Ara was running around, in the park, chasing a 9-year-old boy while playfully shouting at him.

"RK!" Ara yelled in her tiny, childish voice, "give me back my chocolates or I will not play with you!"

"I said we could share half-half, but you don't want so I will eat all alone. YOU CAN'T CATCH ME ARA! Try your best!" the said boy yelled back, which shook Ara, and she started crying.
"Okay, okay, I will give you the chocolates if you stop crying" RK said, sitting near her and and offering the chocolates. She stopped crying and they started their childish talks while eating the chocolates or more of stuffing them in their mouth.

Suddenly-
"RK! RK! Where are you, come, your mother is here!"
"Mommy! I am here!" RK said waving his hands in the air, still sitting on the bench with Ara.

The woman went there but her smile dropped when she saw Ara; she immediately held RK's forearms, dragging him away from her.
"How many times did I told you to stay away from your sister, but do you listen?!!!" She shouted on him.
Ara ran towards them in attempt to stop RK, but he was already sitting in the car because of his mother. She ran in front of the car the moment it started thinking she might stop it; she was too young to understand what is happening when the car hit her, and she lost her consciousness.......................

"RK!!!" Ara sat up on her bed, drenched in her own sweat. She was having trouble in breathing; she felt like the world stopped around her. She was getting anxious every passing moment and was taking really quick breaths. She had never felt this before, and it was like her mind stopped working; she couldn't understand what is happening to her. But when it dawned on her, that this situation is nothing but a panic attack, it was too late, she fell unconscious on her bed.

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

Opening her eyes, Ara saw the white ceiling of her apartment.
At first, she couldn't remember anything, but then she remembered her dream and the weird panic attack, it might not be weird to you, but it was to her.
"Are panic attack and anxiety attack equally painful and weird?"
She asked out loud to herself.
This was the first thing she thought, she wanted to be prepared for all type of problems and that's why she wanted to know that too.
"Did I pass out due to that panic thing?" she again asked herself but thought to let it go.

Not thinking much, she made a black coffee for herself and again went out for a walk. What else could she do? Taking her favorite novel with her, Ara started walking towards the park, near the old brook which goes through the old forest. The most silent and calm place according to her is the park. The trees full of white-pink cherry blossoms stood tall on the green grass spread all across the park. The blue sky made the atmosphere more peaceful with the birds chirping and flying from this tree to that. This was the park which was visited the least but was the most beautiful one in this whole area. Its beauty is most shown in spring and winters, and it is the most peaceful in summer. Such great quality for a park as simple as this one.
This was Ara's favorite park ever. She loved it a lot but it so far away from her apartment that she couldn't always come here.

She also had a favorite spot to sit, which was the most comfortable one for her. Well, this was the park from her dream where she came with RK in her childhood before he was dragged away by his mother. And if you are confused then I should tell you that her dream was a past memory of her and RK was her childhood friend (that is according to her, but this is not the full truth, you will know that later).

Back to present, Ara was so lost in admiring the beauty of the park that she forgot to sit and also forgot that her coffee is getting cold. And why won't she admire the beautiful scenery in front of her? After all this place is her favorite and she is coming here after so long.

She went and sat under one of those large trees, reading the novel she bought here while drinking her black coffee.

This is the place which made her love nature & peace, reading the novel here made her forget everything. She was so lost in reading that she forgot her surroundings, in this situation if somebody says anything it would, for sure, startle her and so did the voice.

"Ara! After all, we met! I missed you!" startled, Ara got up, looking everywhere in the park she thought the voice came from. She was still thinking, where did the voice came from when,
"Hey! I am here, up here!" the voice yelled, making her look up. On the tree she was sitting under, was a boy around 19-20, sitting up there on one of the strong and thick branches of the tree. The golden sun rays, filtering through the leaves of the tree, were making his face shine which was half covered as he was wearing a black mask and as Ara saw the thin scar above his right eyebrow, she couldn't control herself, "RK?!!! Is this really you? Where were you all these 11 years?! I missed you, waited for you and you are showing up like a ghost, shouting my name and sitting above a tree?!" RK jumped from up there, walked towards Ara and hugged her. "How could I forget my little sis, huh? Thats why I came back."

(sorry for ruining your dreams of something else but remember this a long story so there will be more people, wait for it)

"Do you still consider me your sister? I thought you left me alone! You know I got a dream about you today?"
"Yeah! How can I know that? Anyways, I need to go now I have some work. We will talk later" without saying anything he fastly walked away. Ara had finished her coffee, so she thought of going back too. She was walking back to her apartment when she remembered the note:

Kim Ara,
Come to xxxx park near the
Old brook which goes through the forest
I will help you with all your problems

"Did RK send that note? He didn't mention any notes when we met and why did he run away so quickly? Didn't he say we will talk later? But we didn't even exchange numbers! What a fool am I!...........
she was wondering out loud and didn't even notice that someone with a unique mask is following her.
