Nightmare's!

𝑵𝒆𝒉𝒎𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝑷𝒐𝒗:

With a scream caught in my throat and sweat on my brow, I bolted upright in the bed after the terrifying nightmare. I felt paralyzed after waking from the nightmare, not a single muscle would move. The nightmare was so scary that I couldn't forget it the next day.

I got up washed my face immedietly. And got ready for the university. I wasn't in the mood to go, but today Akansh was coming back from his trip to Goa. This whole weekend I spend it alone because Sarah, my only bestfriend was also out of reach.

While sitting on a bus seat, I started thinking about that nightmare. A little boy with a round black maybe baseball cap. On the front, two initial's were there K or Y. Maybe N. I don't know. The boy was near a river. Crying and begging to his mother for God knows what reason. His little cries doesn't let me sleep in night. I don't usually have nightmare's but when I do only this one comes.

I entered the campus, busy on my phone, not even looking up. I  was checking the stories of Akansh. Iwas staring at a photo in which between the crowd I saw something weird. The first thing I saw was a girl who looked exactly like me. And the second my bestfriend Sarah. What was she doing in Goa? And why didn't she told me?

A hand touched my shoulder but that was familiar to me. Still felt some type of weirdness.'Where have you been?' I asked. Sarah ignores the question and talks about the upcoming music festival.

The sun sets and there is no clue of Akansh. I feel stressed. It has happened many times but I feel that something isn't right. My chest starts hurting.He wasn't even replying to my texts.

Sometime's I hate being so much emotionally dependent on someone, that I start to hate myself. But I can't help myself. I stayed at the university more than usual. Just in case Akansh show's up.

I reached home. Cleaned my room which was not untidy. Yet I took out everything and started re-arranging it. I cleaned the floor a little more today. Opened my bookshelf. Took out all the novels and books I used to re-read when I was a teenager. I love doing this. I love re-living moment's.

After cleaning, I took a long cold shower which made me feel better. Than had some snacks, my favorite ice-cream and was about to sleep when I suddenly remembered about Akansh.

I know when he would finally show up, he would make excuses for not being able to contact me. But that won't change the hurt it caused, the dry days waiting just for his one notification, thinking about him all day and can't be able to proceed anything.

It's hard to be held in word's and not in the action's!

My eyes were about to close when a notification made me wide awake. I took my phone immediately. Unlocked it. Only to see a message from an unknown number.

Unknown:Remember me?
