"Dream or Reality"

I was in the school for the extra classes, our class end on 19:45. There was a lot of wind and lightning that night. Me and my friends decided to stay in the school hostel for night. Because it was very windy and lightning, our homeroom teacher also advises us to stay in school.

There was lightning strike, so I sent message to my dad instead of calling him "Pa, I am gonna stay at school's hostel for today. Don't worry for me, I am here with my friends and other classmates. And tell this to mom too. I'm unable to call her as here I am facing network problem. And I will meet with you tomorrow at home. Love you, Papa". My dad replies with a smile emoji and said "Okey, I will tell your mom and remember take care of your-self, my little princess".

Our girls hostel room was next to classroom 8 in the second floor.

Everyone was chattering in the room, me and my friends were roaming around the corridor. The classroom next to us was open and I saw from the window that there was a person standing down in the ground. The man wearing dark black clothes was watching very carefully in the class on the floor below. I don't know why I was looking at his face with all my attention. I was opening the window a little more and was watching it carefully, when suddenly my friends called out loudly to me "Tanisha!".

Here because of the sound, he looked up and our eye contacted. Seeing his deadly eyes, I got scared and my heart started beating very loudly.

I quickly began to hide so that he could not see me. Seeing me doing like this my friend laughed and asked me what am I doing like this? I told them that there is a strange person standing below. They looked at me very strangely and said that no one is standing and get up. I stand up and saw that there was really no one there, so I thought how can anyone stand there in such a stormy night. "If I remember what I saw, I am so sure in my eyes that he was really a handsome person but.....Ugh! Just forget about it, Tanisha". I went to my hostel room and slept the whole night thinking about it again and again.

Now, that incident has started to appear in my dream too. No matter how hard I try to forget that, I repeatedly remember that face of the one who was staring at me. "Just the way he was staring at me...his scary eyes.....makes me still go crazy!!"

Let me tell you my funny story, When I was in class 5, my mom went abroad for her company work. Me and my brother (Who was 2 years older than me) was in home alone with 'My Sleeping Beauty' Dad who was in his deep sleep waiting for his princess charm. Actually, dad was very busy day before at his pet clinic.

Me and my brother got up too early, we two hungry people started feeling very hungry. We started searching for food here and there, it seemed as if we were food hunters. After a lot of searching here and there, we found our Treasure, which was just one 'Sandwich'. After seeing that Precious Treasure, my brother and I looked at each other and started running towards it in speed. And suddenly a big accident happened which we should not have done. Without realizing that, Me and my brother started quarreling to eat that, whereas a precious thing was broken and fell.

Due to such a loud noise, Dad who was Sleeping Beauty until a while ago, comes out and sees that mom's sweetest coffee machine has broken down and we two were having a great war. After watching this disaster my dad asks "Who did this?!".

Such an atmosphere has been created that my dad is a scary principal, seeing whom we i.e., innocent students are trembling. Then my brother comes in front and says "Papa, Tanisha has done it". I shouted "You yourself were going from there, so why are you taking my name, papa, Amit have done this. I have not done it really". My brother pretended and said "you should not lie, my dear sister, lying is a bad thing." I knew that the Devil in him was getting a lot of comfort after trapping me. Due to such a trap, my eyes were filled and I started to cry and saying "Paapaa..., I was not really running from there, This Monkey!! was running there, I really didn't touch this machine." My dad said "there's nothing bad in taking the truth dear, no one is scolding you here, My Angle." I got angry with my father even more than I was angry with my brother, who didn't know the fact that I was telling the truth. Then I thought I would be a good Judge. It must have been known by now that I am very stubborn.

Now I have fulfilled my ambition. I'm now a second-year law school student, that too with very good marks. But still, I am repeating the same dream for past 3 years....

'Normal Life'

Today again I saw the same dream and got up from sleep, because of that crazy and irritating dream I was not able to sleep again. "Okey, I give Up!!" I decided to get up then it was around 3:15am. I open my room windows "I can tell that the whole neighborhood is in deep sleep Except me!!" I wasn't able to understand what should I do in this early morning, I started to listening to the recorded classes. After watching an endless recorded class, I saw the clock and it was only 4 o'clock (only 45 minutes has passed).

To be honest, at that time I was wanting to shout angrily. But...always cannot do what one wants, can it? So, I went to the dinning place and from there took out old movies that my brother love to watch repeatedly and started to watch it in the dark. To tell the truth, those old movies of my brother, which I have been saying bad for so many days and my brother has been saying that after watching it, say that it is bad. "It is bad."

Now if I ever see him watching this strange movie, I will shout that I have watch it and it is really bad. So somehow, I kept ending that movie. I was thinking to throwing the CD in the dustbin but it will also cause problem. I held myself and stopped myself from throwing the CD. It was only 5 o'clock, I started looking for food from the fridge. After eating food, I sat in the same position for 1 hour at the same place.

After so long, a member of my household got up, that too none other than my great brother. That madman shouted in a very filthy way seeing me, I also knew why he was screaming but seeing him screaming like that, I could not stop my laughter and started laughing like a crazy person.

Hearing such loud sounds my mom-dad wake up. Mom asks, "what happened in the morning that one of you in crying while the other is laughing?" I couldn't hold back my laughter, but somehow, I stopped. The color of my brother's face was gone. I told my mother "I was sitting here, brother came and started shouting, I think he thought that I am a ghost, so I could not hold back my laughter and started laughing. Brother, you again watched Ghost movies yesterday? Didn't you? I guess yes, right?" My brother's eyes were uneasy, it was clear that my guess was right.

Mom was watching him. Dad asked him "why the color of your face has blown away? Amit, what is the need to watch ghost movie on late night? if you want to watch it then you can watch it during the day in free time. There is no need to watch those things in the late night" my dad goes on, "Tanisha, why are you sitting here so early in the morning? Got up again early today? If you need more sleep, you can go to sleep again until 7:30. I will call you." I am very lucky to get a loving father. I replied with a smile in my face, "no, dad its okey, I'm fine. I do not want more sleep."

My mom was in the kitchen making breakfast for us. My dad also went there to help my mom. Meanwhile, me and my brother was organizing the place to eat breakfast. I was continuously remembering my brother's facial expiration a while ago. I was smiling in myself while recalling that funny scene. My brother notice that I was smiling and staring at his face, he said "stop it now, it has ended, there is nothing to smile about it." I said "don't tell me that someone have listen your scream except me, mom and dad" he started looking here and there and replied "Why?". "it's look like I am correct"

He ignore my words. "What will happen to you, if your girlfriend hears your shouting like this....hahahahaha". Now he can't ignore my words, he said "You! Then why were you sitting like a possessed person in the early morning?". "I was normally sitting there. If you can't bear ghost movie don't watch it, you scared cat" I answered smoothly.

Mom came with our breakfast and said, "Amit, today drop you sister to her college. Sorry, my daughter, I have to leave now because there is some problem in company. I may be late today, Siddharth. I am leaving now, bye." Mom hugs dad and went to work. Meanwhile, me and my brother were watching such sweet TV drama in the morning moreover its LIVE. Both of us stop eating and were staring at dad after mom left.

My dad said "Have you both eaten? Won't you eat anymore? In the morning you should eat full stomach. Let's eat little bit more both and get ready. I am in hurry to go to the clinic today. Let's go."

We all got ready and went to our respective work.

'Interconnecting Destiny'

In the front of the gate my friend Aakriti was standing. She is very cute girl with a beautiful voice and pretty much loves to study. I asked her "why are you standing here instead of going inside? who are you looking for?" she replies while looking here and there "ohh! When did you came? N.....no I was not looking for someone." I ask her pretending "Then...are you waiting for me?...." suddenly my brother slap me in back, I shouted "What!". "You forgot your papers, forgetful human."

I take the papers from him and was going inside the college, he suddenly shouted "say Thank You to me, Tanisha!!!" That monkey grabbed all the attention. All the people's eyes were on me. I feel embarrassed, so I started to ran to the class. The first class was of Prof. Bhattacharya.

After the class ends. I started to organized my notes, someone from my behind call my name and ask for notes of Prof. Bhattacharya's class, I turn behind and saw it was Aryan in my back seat.

Aryan and Aakriti are my close friend from 1st year of college. Aryan is a bit popular in our college because of his handsome looks but let me remind you something except of his looks, in my eyes he is totally crazy person but also a good friend.

Aakriti came and ask "Did you guys get a gift for Shivangi's birthday?" Aryan: "I was going to but....I can't understand what should I gift her" I said with a smile "I think you should gift her...Umm.... Drawing pencil set and Sketchbook." Aakriti: "no.... it's not time for joke, her birthday is very near. And it's not also like that if she studies designing means we have to gift her clothes, pencil etc...." I immediately said to her "I wasn't kidding". Aryan says "so shall we go together to buy a birthday gift for her?" I said, "What about today's evening?" they were okey with that. So, we decided to meet in front of park and go together to buy her gift.

Shivangi is my friend from my high school days, in other words she is like my sister. She is the only person who know about that night incident and my nightmare. We were very close and now also. After our high school ended, we have meet very less but we were always in touch.

I also introduce her to Aryan and Aakriti, when we meet after we enter our 1st year of college. She is a student of modeling and designing. As we, three of us have decided to celebrate her birthday. We already have arranged everything except her birthday gifts.

At evening, we went together to mall and were deciding gifts for Shivangi. Then I saw a man who seemed strangely familiar. I started thinking hard in my mind "Where have I seen this person?.....OH!! I remembered. He is the guy whom I saw 2 years ago from my high school window."

I quickly said to Aryan "You guys keep shopping. I am just coming back. I have some urgent work." Aryan asked to me "What's the matter?" I didn't reply to him and ran behind that man. That person started to walk very fast as he has noticed that I was following him behind and he suddenly disappear. I tried very hard to find that guy but can't find a single hint of him. I came back to the shop where my friends were waiting for me. They ask me where was I? I wasn't able to explain them the whole situation. So, I replied them "it's nothing. Let's go."

After I went home, I call Shivangi. She answered the phone: "Hello!". I said "Don't see me wrong...I". "that you have seen that window weird guy again in dream" she said confidently. I continued my sentence "it's something similar to that...I saw him today at market." She answered "What! Are you sure that he was the same guy whom you saw in the high school 2 years ago?" I said "Yes, he was."

She said, "I thing you saw wrong person. Back then you saw him just one time in reality and many times in your dream." I said "how can I saw wrong person? He was wearing same black clothes and same face." Shivangi: "Don't thing about it anymore. Just forget about it." In the Sunday I stay at home and keep studying notes of my classes.

Next day, I encounter with Aryan at the college gate and went together to our classroom. Aakriti was sitting there in class, we came to her and sit beside her. Aakriti: "did you heard that a new student is coming today?" I said, "In the middle of the semester?" Aryan: "I have seen him and also know that his name is Roy." Suddenly our class door opens we all thought that Mrs. Chaudhary have come but it was not. A handsome boy was there everyone was speechless. I was busy with organizing my homework. Aryan: "See, he is Roy."

I looked up and what I saw I can't believe. He is the same guy whom I saw at the market and 2 years ago in my high school ground. And he was looking at me with a smile.

'Things Tanisha Is Not Aware'

When Tanisha was following Roy in the market. Roy senses someone is following him and he hide in a distance so he can see who is following him. Roy "What was that girl? Why is she following me?" Roy started to see Tanisha carefully.

Then he suddenly remembers that a girl was staring at him 2 years ago from the high school window looks pretty much same as Tanisha.

Roy: "I'm getting more and more interested in you, Girl. Now it's time to get to know about you more."
