Crazy dreams during COVID lockdowns

chapter seven

A moment is enough to feel the love

The love of life

The love of music

The love of harmony

The love of nature

The love of mystery

They held each other's hand and jumped together in the sea. Vivan enjoyed the warm water of the sea. He liked the sight of unique sea creatures coming in his way.He just loved the whole sight.

"It is the same sea and creatures which I saw in my dream.''Vivan said to the mystery.

"What you saw in your dream was real and you are really in sea now. You are not dreaming.",Mystery replied.

"I don't understand what is happening.Sometimes you are in a dream and sometimes you come before me in the form of a real person.",Vivan said to himself and opened his eyes.

He found himself sitting in the chair.Vivan realized that he was dreaming again of Mystery and sea.He looked at the screen of the laptop.It was playing the video of the ocean and medical waste beneath it.

"Now I understand the whole matter. I am visualizing mystery because I was watching the videos of the sea.The sea reminds me of mystery.The love of my dreams.",Vivan said to himself.

Vivan wasn't focusing on his own work from the day of his dream so he received a notice in his email regarding late submission of work. They warned Vivan that if this will continue then they will deduct his salary which is already low due to lockdown.

"If this is the case then I will quit my job and will go back to India when the flights resume.",Vivan said to himself and typed the resignation email and sent it to his senior.

He felt relieved after typing the resignation email. He decided to have his full focus on his purpose which is mystery and sea.

"Why have you quit your job in this difficult economic scenario.How will you manage to stay in New York till the lockdown without a job?"Mystery asked.

"I am working here from 10 years and I have enough savings to survive a few months of lockdown.I will go back to India after the end of these lockdowns,"Vivan replied and kissed the mystery.

I want to get lost in your eyes

I want to rest in your arms

I want to kiss you like mad

I want you to be mine and

I am yours

Mystery became human after he kissed him.Vivan was really happy to see her like that.He looked in her deep eyes and fell asleep in dreams of the sea.

"Where is the mystery? She was with me last night in human form."Vivan said while searching for mystery after getting awake in the morning.

He didn't find her anywhere so he went to the kitchen to prepare morning coffee.He saw a mystery sitting on the slab near the coffee machine waving her blue fish tail.

"What are you doing here.Will you have some coffee with me.?",Vivan asked Mystery.

"I am a spirit and I don't drink coffee.I will inhale your breath into mine. ",She said and came closer.

Vivan came closer and realized that his cup of coffee was full and he didn't switch off the coffee machine.The coffee overflowed into the slab.

"Your Vivan has become so crazy that he forgot to switch off the machine and the coffee flowed into the slab. Will you help me to clean the slab?,"Vivan asked mysteriously.

"I don't need your help.My magic is enough to clean the slab. You just close your eyes.",Mystery replied.

Vivan closed his eyes and mystery cleaned the slab by the blink of her eye.When Vivan opened his eyes he saw an empty and clean slab.

"I am used to your disappearance.It doesn't haunt me anymore and I know you will come to me again."Vivan said aloud and drinked the coffee.

He went to the window to watch the morning sky.Vivan saw the flock of birds flying high in the sky.

"I have done the right thing by resigning my hectic job which was keeping me away from my home country.One day when things will be normal I will fly back again to my own country",Vivan said to himself while watching birds.

Humans are living in wrong illusion

That everything was normal before Panademic.No it was not because if things were so normal then why did the Pandemic hit hard and with it the worst economic depression and the continuous threat of war never keep things normal.

"Do you think everything was normal in human society before the Pandemic?",Mystery asked appearing behind him.

"Things were never perfect but were better than the present scenario when people were going out and enjoying their life to the fullest. Now everyone is stuck at home glancing at the screens of mobile and laptop.",Vivan replied.

"Do you want to go out and fly high in the sky like a bird.?",Mystery asked.

Vivan nodded his head in agreement.Mystery closed her eyes and called the spirit of Lavina which is a bird now. Lavina held the hand of Vivan and they flew towards the southern hemisphere in the territory of penguins.

Vivan was awestruck when he saw so many penguins for the first time in life.He only saw them in movies. He couldn't believe in his eyes.

"I am grateful to you for bringing me to such a beautiful territory of penguins.",Vivan smiled and said to Lavina.

Lavina hugged Vivan and said,"I really missed you,small man. It was a nice adventure before the few days of drowning in the city of joy."

"I really liked your city which was vibrant with colors and art.I wished to spend my rest of life with mystery in that city.",Vivan said.

"You are dreaming impossible.",Lavina said and disappeared.

"I don't harm spirits then why Lavina and Mystery disappear in seconds when I want to be with them.",Vivan said to himself and opened his eyes while standing in front of the window glass.

Vivan sat on the sofa and looked at the walls. He felt the colors of the wall have changed to the colors of rainbow.Mystery decorated wall with seven colors to make Vivan feel more conscious and alive.

"Wow, I feel like I am in the sky just sitting over the rainbow and feeling the emotions of each VIBGYOR. ",Vivan said while looking at the walls knowing that Mystery is behind walls changing the colors every moment.

My dear Mystery please come closer

Why are you hiding behind walls

Showing me your magic which I know

Is just a tip of finger for you

Vivan was interpreted by his thoughts of Mystery after the call of his friend,Rohan.

"Vivan, Where are you.You have not called me for seven days and Nancy told me that you have quit your job and you are not talking to her."?Rohan asked.

Vivan said nothing and cut the call of Rohan. He doesn't want to talk to anyone.He just wants to be alone with mystery and her thoughts.

"Why didn't you talked to Rohan"?,Mystery asked.

"I just don't feel like talking to anyone because he will judge me. He will say that I have made a wrong choice but deep in my heart I know that I never wanted to continue this job because it sucks me. ",Vivan said.

Mystery nodded her head in agreement and disappeared again in thin air by leaving her fish tail in the hands of Vivan.He didn't understand why she left her fish tail.

He looked at the fish tail from all sides.There was something written on its scales but the words were very minute.Vivan put the light of torch over there and read the whole sentence.

"Vivan, You are dreaming impossible.I am a spirit and you are a human. We cannot be together.So stop visualizing about me and focus on your purpose to clean the ocean and the lungs of our planet."

Vivan didn't like the sentence and said aloud,"I can't stop visualising you and if you are a spirit then I will become a spirit."

Vivan went towards the glass then a bird appeared on the glass and said,"Please don't do that.Your purpose as a human is waiting for you.First complete your purpose and then end your life."

"Who are you.Will you become my pet and live with me to share my loneliness in home quarantine.",?Vivan asked.

"I am Lavina and I will live with you but you will focus on your purpose of ocean cleaning to make this planet a better place to live in. ",Lavina said.

Vivan put Lavina in a bird house built by him from the material in her house. He put some food and water in the house. When Lavina saw him putting food and water in her house she laughed aloud.
