Who is he? Do I know him too? This all feels weird, where did I even got stuck? Why do I know then but also don't know them? Why are their names blur? All the questions start pouring in my head. Why now? Why didn't I thought of these questions at first??
" '$#@' !!! " Someone shouted the first boy's name, a boy about same age as us was visible running towards us, he had a scarf and a jacket. It's winter season, I thought after i saw him. He reached us cover in sweat, huffing.
"You are late!" As the girl said, "we have been waiting for long"
"I *huff* m sorry *huff* " he looked up at me as he took a breath, without saying a word he clasped a hug with me, "you are safe" I felt his warm but short breath as he wispered in my ear.
"Yes I am" I patted his hand as I said so, why isn't my thoughts and actions matching? I shoot a glance at the first boy, he came and joined our hug, I felt somewhat revealed.
Their hug, was warm, but they were scared, this hug was not that of giving them a simple introduction hug, but that of someone saw their loved one came out of the mouth of danger.
"Guys we are still here" the girl said while giving me a smile, the smile of knowing something no one's supposed to know.
"Well, the lady does seems cold" the man said while looking at me.
"Ah, no i-" before i could finish, the second boy gave me his coat, and the first boy coverd my neck with his scarf.
"I don't need the coat, I ran all the way here, so I am hot, besides I have a sweater on too" he giggled.
"I don't like wearing scarf anyways" he smiled.
Is this something I am sensing? Or just illusion?
Anyway skipping forward, the old man went his way, and all four of us walked to the next destination.
This time, the boys were behind, "oh, I would like to see ------------" what? I couldn't hear. But instead of asking her to say it again, I said "shh, he is behind, he will listen" what listen? Even I could hear her.
"Anu this is as far as I could come with you guys" we were standing near the temple's first gate, at the side, near the rocks, I looked up, it's not just a rock wall, it can be climbed, but at the same time it's way too dangerous.
Before i see, the girl was no longer seen. We were overwhelmed.
Somehow the boys were prepared, the second boy tied a rope around my waist, and at the other end was a hook. After we are done tie-ing everything, we held eachother's hand once, and took a deep breath.
"Don't be scared, we are here" the first boy said.
I remember the girl told us before she went, it was something like "if you see duststorm, you can come down, but if it isn't dust storm, stay where you are". Shouldn't this be other way around?
Anyways we went up there, we climbed and claimed, and at some point we could see the storm, nothing was visible, but we still went.
It was very hard.
We almost reached near the top, but I slipped, it was as if my life flashed through my eyes, but fortunately, the buys saved me, both held one of my hand. I took a breath of relief.
It was at that moment i woke up. Nothing such as rockes in front of me but the shouting of my mom waking me up for online classes
