The Dream

Part XV Steve got me a coffee and sat by my side on the dinner table. He was staring me that made me feel uncomfortable. “Stop, looking at me like that.” I said and tried to hide my face. “Sorry, but it’s still something I can’t believe.” He said. “I know, even for me it was hard to believe for the first time, but when I found the results after investigation my dreams were proven correct.” I said. “So, you are saying you saw everything in dream. Even if I believe it..” Steve was saying with a little hesitation while I interrupted him “No one would believe me.” I said with pain that was visible in my eyes. He nodded in yes. “I know, but now the only thing that is important for me is would you believe me or not.” I asked him. I knew it was hard for him to answer. He replied to comfort me, “I would.” “Liar, don’t worry I would give you a proof before you say – I would.” I winked at him and stood up. “Proof...How?? When???” He asked in surprise. “Well, I think in a couple of days...

Part XIV Life is so strange when our heart starts to overcome the pain of past, something or the other would happen that would drag you back into the same point from where you started. Memories of past floated in my eyes, the time when I was young and played with my dad, the lullabies he used to sing for me, our field trips and glimpses of the accident that happened 8 years ago. The truck striking us and our car falling down from the bridge and struck the water of the river. I woke up suddenly as if I was drowning in the water numb and suddenly came to senses and floated to the surface. I realised I was in hospital with Steve by my side . “Are you alright?” He asked me with concern. “Dad, my dad.....dad...” these were the only words came out from my mouth. Steve hugged me tightly and said “Everything would be fine, don’t think to much. It’s okay. It will be okay.” In the meantime Andrew entered the room and caressed my hairs. Both of them standing by my side gave me comfor...

Part XIII “I just can’t imagine how he was about to give up on the case?” I commented while restlessly walking in the drawing room. “He is not a person to give up, I’m sure it must have been very hard for him.” Steve favoured him. “I don’t believe this. Even if it was I hard I would never give up on my family member, never ever.” I said with rage. “Do you think that he gave up?” Racheal said while bringing coffee for us. She kept the tray on the table and passed a cup to Andrew and another Steve. “He probably knows that his any wrong move would end  3 lives. He didn’t gave up, he is just protecting them.” Racheal said handing over the coffee cup to me. For a minute I was dumbstruck. She turned back. I don’t know why I felt I hold a big responsiblity now. “I would get them back safe and sound.” I said. Racheal looked at me, so were the others. I turned towards her, “I would do it no matter what?” Seeing my conviction, Steve and andrew accompanied, “We would”. “Atleast I would do...

Part XII It was morning when I opened my eyes. I realised I was in the drawing room. Ouch! My neck hurts. I turned to my left, it was Steve sleeping beside me. I felt so thankful to him for staying by my side yesterday. I remembered how he saved me, he was there when I woke up in the hospital, how relived I felt when I saw him outside my house, how he comforted me when I saw my past memories and was shattered. Looking at him like this gives a weird feeling. I slowly tried to caress his hair, but as soon as my hand reached near his face he opened his eyes. He looked at me and my hand. Gosh, it’s so embarrassing. I knocked his forehead hard and said “It was a mosquito on your head.” And quickly stood up. “Ahh! But it was quite hard,” he said caressing his forehead. “Sorry…. Let me get some tea for you, while you can go ahead freshen up.” I said and hastily moved to kitchen. God, if it goes like this one day I would be badly embarrassed in front of him. Control your actions Kathy. W...

Part XI A slight streak of light appeared in front of my eyes. I could hear few noises but couldn’t see anything, it’s too bright. I covered my eyes with my hand. Laughter of a young girl, “Daddy, catch me, I’m faster than you?” “Ah, so you think I can’t catch you, just see.” The voices seem so familiar. I slowly tried to see who were these people? They seem familiar. Oh!!! It’s me. It’s the playground where I used to go with dad when I was young. He used to run after me pretending that he cannot catch me. I would make him run through the entire playground. “Wait Kathy, daddy would catch you soon.” “No you can’t. See daddy I run so fast.” I was running, looking behind at my dad. I didn’t realise that there was a stone in the way and I feel off. I started to cry. Dad came to me and picked me up. “Kathy are you ok?” he said while wiping off the dirt from my dress. “You are ok dear?” He asked again. “Daddy, it hurts.” I replied in tears showing him my elbow that was scratc...

Part X His smile confirmed that it was him. What a transformation! I was speechless for few seconds and was staring at him. “This is for you.” He offered the flowers to me. I took it, but I was still in shock. “Let’s go in, else we would miss the start.” He said and grabbed my hand and rushed towards the hall. While watching the movie, my mind was focusing more on him than on movie. What spell did he cast to change like this? Am I dreaming? I pinched myself twice to confirm it’s not a dream. He caught me a few times while I was staring at him. “Am I looking so good that you cannot take off your eyes off me?” He jokingly said looking into my eyes. I was so embarrassed that I turned my face and didn’t look at him even once after that. “Come let’s eat something, what do you want to eat?” Steve asked as we were heading out of the theatre. “Anything would do?” I replied. “You said you like shrimps, right?” He asked. I nodded in yes. “I know exactly where to go?” He said and grabbe...

Part IX  I slowly opened the door a little and peeped inside to check whether Steve was inside or not.  Suddenly someone tapped on my shoulder, I didn’t pay any attention to it. Again there was a tap, this time I softly jerked my shoulder to remove the hand without realising who was at the back. This time a face crept in, over my shoulder and asked very softly “Are you looking for someone?” That time I finally realised that someone was standing behind me and watching me. I looked at the face from the corner of my eyes without turning my face. Oh my God! It was Steve. I was shocked to see him beside me and lost my balance, was about to fall. He suddenly caught me from my waist and saved me from falling. His face was just 2-3 inch apart from mines. His eyes were deep and intense. Oh my so cute small nose and his lips…. Kathy buzz off what the hell are you thinking now. “Are you Ok? Sorry I didn’t mean to startle you.” He said. “Ahh. I’m fine. No..no no problem.” I repl...
