I was illuminated with a sunshine penetrating my sleepy eyes. Everything was cloudy, I saw a man moving and I tried to open my eyes but I was unsuccessful. I tucked my head inside a blanket and slept again.
I finally woke up, stretching my hand to its fullest (which I usually do). I swiftly opened my eyes and gazed at right and left. The bedsheet was different -plain white. I wore man's shirt and a trousers then, which were quite loose - I was a hanger to those clothes.
I scratched my head, my mind was still dizzy - Damn, it was hard to concentrate on objects. I searched for my phone, I got my purse at the side table.
I immediately zipped it and took out my phone.
I contacted Piya.
"Hello," I said.
"Hello, well, did you enjoy last night?," she said with an evil smirk running from the corners of her lips (it was evident from her speech).
I paused for ten seconds and cried.
"What happened?"
I cried again.
"What happened? Say me something,"she asked again.
"I don't know where I am now," I sobbed smudging my misty eyes.
"Hold on....."
My battery collapsed.
A man entered the room and sat at the edge of the bed. He asked me if everything was fine.
Nothing was fine.
His face looked familiar. His eyes were magic, tawny brown in hazy sunshine which locked my witch hazel eyes. I immediately moved my orbs and placed it on that plain yellow wall. God Damn, his eyes were mesmerizing.
"Did anything happened last night?," I asked.
He smiled wickedly and replied, "Not really"
I squinched my eyebrows and uttered, "What does that mean?"
He perched his hand on the bed. His hands had a tattoo and I examined it.
"Did anything happened last night," I asked again gravely.
"I think I have answered your questions."
"Where are my clothes?," I questioned.
"In washing machine"
Flashback hit me and I remembered that I spilled the breezer on my favourite red dress.
He walked away.
"Aren't you hungry?," he asked at the threshold.
I gulped the lump which was forming in my neck.
"Y-yes," I sounded almost inaudible.
He decoded my feeble sound somehow and waited for me.
"Did you changed my clothes last night?"
"Umm-hmm."
I was dazed.
He overtook me. "You are very slow"
"Can I use your bathroom?"
"Sure"
He showed me the bathroom.
I saw a huge mirror, I splashed handful of water on my face. The makeup was faded completely.
The mirror reflected the innocence hidden in me for two years. I got panic attack, my veins were numbed. I was feeling extremely hot, I gently placed my body on that mosaic floor, the bathroom wall was tiled. I crawled at the wall and perched my cheeks on them, it was chilled. I was feeling better. I pulled myself more closer and sank into a deep slumber.

The door reverberated, the persistent knocking disturbed me. I gained my consciousness and unbolted the door.
"It's been fifty minutes."
"I was...."
"What?"
I hugged him immediately and took a refuge on his warm arms. I wept on his white tshirt making it wet.
"Please save me"
"Please save me"
"Please save me"
"What happened?,"he shouted sounding panic-stricken.
"I am scared," I shivered.
He patted my head gently and I gripped his tshirt tightly.
"Don't worry.," he still caressed my brunette hair.
My eyes were filled with tears when I fixed my gaze on his eyes.
I realised that I was at man's arm, I immediately pushed and settled myself.
I swallowed my dry saliva. I removed the tears.
"There's a cockroach.," I lied.
"What?"
"It's gone, it's gone."
He laughed weirdly as if I was a cartoon standing there in a man's dress. He looked really cute giggling. I really adored his childish carefree chuckle. I was exactly like that few years before; giggling, happy, cheerful and more welcoming. I was more alive than 'D-E-A-D'.
