But, ever thought of these phases becoming reality? ever see planning or doing things so you can have it what you were longing from a long time?
.......
Next morning I wake covered in sweat, increase heart beats, exhausted and completely tired around six in the morning, while sitting on the bed I took few deep breaths and try to relax but got startled in the next moment only, hearing a deep old voice...
Voice: Why you get up so early?
The moment I hear this voice, I look around the room for the source of the voice and there I found a figure standing in front of me looking dead in dead in my eyes. I literally yelled...
Me: Aaaaaa no no!!!
while doing so I move back on the bed itself in a way that my back is touching the headrest of the bed literally. Well, hearing my name shouted many times, break my trance like state...
Siya!!!
Siya!!!!!
Siya!!!!!!
I rubbed my eyes wildly in hope to get conscious and finally it does happened, seeing granny standing in front of me I took deep breaths again and again. Once seeing that I am calm enough to talk, granny started speaking....
Granny: (With concern) Are you alright? I mean you literally shouted, did you watched any kind of nightmare?
Me: (Getting relax and comfortable) Umm yes, when I opened my eyes I see that nightmare person in front of me in the form of you.
Granny: Ohhh its okay kiddo, it happens sometimes. Its still early for you to get ready and reach the university so, you want to sleep for some more time?
Me: (Lied professionally) No, I am going to get ready now and after eating my breakfast I will leave for the university as I have a early lecture today.
Granny: Ohhh okay, take care.
After saying this, she caressed my head lovingly and then went inside the bathroom. I stretch my left hand towards the bedside table, first I pick up my water bottle and drink some water then after that I get up from the bed picking up my things I move out of the room and walk towards my room. The moment I step inside the room, I come across the clear view of the clock which is hanging inside the room on the wall.
Me: Huhhh It just six thirty in the morning.
Mind: Yeah just because of the dream and morning incident we are standing here, its quite tiring and exhausted.
Me: Yeah right but no need to worry, after reaching university we will be fine.
Mind: Hmmm.
After keeping my things on the side table then, I closed the room door, I plug in charger to my phone and start getting ready for the university. Today, for a change I took around an hour to get ready because, I feel like to work in slow motion, once done I come out of the room and walk towards the dining room to eat my breakfast. Fortunately, the breakfast time passed silently no one speak up about anything but whole time I felt granny keep glancing at me.
Once done with the breakfast, I walk inside the kitchen then at first I cleaned my plates then after filling my water bottle, I again walk inside the room and for the last time I again recheck my bag to know whether I have kept everything in it. As soon as I finish doing this I walk out of the room then after informing mother I walk out of the house to reach the university at time.
Today, I reach university fifteen minutes early, I got excited seeing the time because now I got the time to have a talk with Asher now. I hurriedly walk inside the room where our first lecture is going to take places and just a second later Asher too walk inside, together we smiled at each other brightly...
Asher: (Smiling widely, walking towards her seat) Thank god finally we got the chance to meet and talk.
Me: (Smiling too, following her steps) Yeah right. Let settle down fast and talk but wait....
Asher: (Cutting me off) Bro sorry for yesterday incident, actually some guest entered in the house and because of that I got busy so was unable to call you back.
Me: (Wow, I was about to ask about yesterday only but before I could do so she answered my questions) Its okay I can understand.
Mind: (Sarcastically) Yeah yeah you can understand but remember you was the only one who got so worried that you had a nightmares.
In a minute we finally settled down on our seats and we started talking...
Asher: So, what do you think we should do in Michiko's case.
Me: I guess we just have to be with her and spend time with her.
Asher: Okay but how it will be possible when we have Carissa and Savannah with us?
Me: (Taking a pause of few seconds to think) I think we need to just manage our time, let say when we will be in the class then or cafeteria then we will be with them and rest of the time we will be with Michiko.
Asher: Hmmm okay.
Me: Bro don't take too much tension for now because whatever will happen next we will see it together.
Asher: Yeah right.
Just at this moment Carissa come inside the class and seeing her we pretended as we are just busy in our phones rather than talking. The moment she settled down on the seat she started speaking....
Carissa: Is everything alright with you two.
Me: Yeah but why are you asking?
Carissa: Yesterday you two were called by the counsellor so, I just wanted to know what happened?
Asher: Nothing as such happened, she just wanted to ask how are we doing and about research topic too.
Me/Mind: Wow bro she lied like a professional, I am impressed.
Carissa: Okay but why in pair.
Me/Mind: Huhh such a irritating personality in one's character, I mean why to ask so many questions? One should mind their own business no? why to interfere so much?
Asher: Yeah actually the thing is that there are too many students in batch so, why to call one student at a time and because of this she called two students at a time.
Mind: Wow hats off (Applauding for her cheerfully)
Hearing, this even I got shocked and surprised too, I mean she just rocked in this act. Well, Carissa nod her head in understanding, soon Savannah to enter inside the room and seeing already settled down our seats, she passed a big smile to us and we too smiled in return. While she is settled down on the seat, the lecturer too enter inside the room and start taking our attendance, in the middle of it Michiko too joined with a serious face which soon converted into a smile seeing mine and Asher smile.
As usual the she goes and sit on the last row middle seat, once all of the attendance noted down lecturer start teaching us but rather than focusing on the subject she is teaching I passed a paper chit to Asher...
Me: (Smirking) Somebody become a professional liar today, I am impressed
Asher: (Looked at me with playful accusing look but smiled later) O please I was just trying to be secretive.
Me: Okay sorry bro, but seriously you rocked the performance.
Asher: Hahaha got it but now stop it please and let me concentrate on the topic she is teaching.
Me: Okay bro you study, bye.
After she got lost in her study mode and I tried to focus on the topic too but end up doodling on my notebook, till lunch time whole lecture passed just like this. In between the lectures, most of the time we remain occupied with whatever lecturer is teaching us and rest of the time we spend with these two girls. While walking towards the cafeteria, out of nowhere a girl come in our way and ask Savannah to report in the counsellor's cabin, hearing this Savannah walk away from us.
Well, when we three enter inside the cafeteria a guy come ask Carissa to come and meet one of the lecturer so, soon she also walk away from us. While settling on our seats, I voice out my thought to Asher...
Me: Isn't it surprising, all of sudden these two have to walk away from us at the same time?
Asher: Yeah right, I think even destiny want us to be with Michiko. Okay wait, let me call her.
Me: Okay.
She take her phone out from her jeans pocket, then call Michiko...
on call conversation....
Asher: Hey where are you?
Michiko: ........
Asher: Come and eat with us please.
Michiko: .......
on call conversation ended....
I look at her by raising my eyebrows and ask...
Me: What happened? Is she coming?
Asher: (Pick her bag up and getting up from her seat) No but we are going out in the park to eat lunch with her.
Me: Great.
Soon we move out of the cafeteria, start walking towards the park which is just in front of the it. The moment we step inside the park we found her sitting under the shed of, one of the tree and watching something in her phone. Soon we too reach there and settled down on the grass, seeing us there she kept her phone aside and we take our lunch box to eat food.
Michiko: How come you both are here eating lunch with me and not with those two girls.
Asher: We wanted to spend time with you but if you don't like it then we can go back.
Michiko: Hey, no need to play such games with me.
Asher: Okay, then just enjoy this time.
All of three of us enjoy our own food but as usual Michiko, take some food from Asher's lunch box and eat it. To be honest, this scene make me feel happy because this is how I watch them since I joined their friendship and when this same thing happened with Carissa I don't like it at all. Suddenly, in the middle of eating Michiko start speaking...
Michiko: By the way how come you are eating your food alone Asher as on daily basis you used to share it with Carissa?
Me: Yeah right.
Asher: Because she has her own lunch box, according to her while sharing food we eat less so here I am now.
Me/Michiko: Hmmm okay.
Soon our lunch got finished, we kept the box in the bags again and just enjoy the weather for sometime. In between I keep glancing at Asher too because I am just thinking who will initiated the conversation with Michiko about her issues - me/she and she is doing the same thing with me too but I guess this look - look session of us got noticed by Michiko as the next sentence she speak, that startled us.
Michiko: Just stop doing this, both of you and speak up clearly okay.
Me: Umm ohh yeah...
Asher: Ummm that...
Michiko: Idiots speak up clearly.
Me: (Speak up in a single breath and tightly close my eyes) Wewanttoknowwhatexactlyhappenedwithyouinthepast.
As soon as I finish saying this I earn a smack on my shoulder from Michiko, I wince a little and when I open my eyes I receive a glare from Asher.
Me: Aaa.. what?
Michiko: What is this? A sentence a carry space in between words, comas, etc. but look at your sentence I told you too speak clearly then what's the problem in doing so?
Asher: Okay, we just want to know what exactly happened in the past with you because we know some detail which the has counsellor gave us but we want to know things in detail. If you are okay with it then please share it with us.
The moment Asher finished her sentence, Michiko expressions changed into serious one and then soon changed into some thing 'I don't give a them.' Well, after almost five minutes of silence she speak up...
Michiko: We don't have time for this for now as our next lecture is going to start in six minutes.
Me: But....
Before I could speak up anything else, my phone started ringing, I take it out from my pocket and answered the call...
Me: Hello.
Carissa: (Excitedly) Hey guess what our next two lectures got cancelled, lets go outside of the university to have some fun no?
Me: (Pretending to be sad and lied professionally) Wow, that's great but I won't be able to go out because me and Asher have some work to do related to our project so, you go and enjoy.
Carissa: Okay bye.
She cut the phone before I could say bye to her. Well, I guess its okay, I keep the phone aside on the top of my bag and look at them with a mischievous smile on my face...
Michiko/Asher: What happened?
Me: Now we have two hours back to back so, if you are still comfortable with it then go ahead with your story Michiko.
Hearing, this both of their mouths open wide and seeing this I so wanted to laugh out but I choose to be serious because this topic is important and serious too.
Michiko: (Monotonous tone) Okay, from where should I begin.
Asher: From the beginning only.
Michiko: So these thing started to happen when I was in Sixth class. My........
