Was that a dream?

Damn, we won so much. I didn't invest at all, but Deepak shares his victory. He asked how much percentage you want. I told him I am fine with whatever he wants to give. My share was one lakh. Think about how much he had won. We were ban to enter that place now. I just loved that adventure. I got so addicted that I went to the boat race and bet there. I won a lot of money and cleared my debt.
I wonder, will the vision will continue after the concert? If yes, then I am prepared for it. Maybe I am being selfish. But I am kinda like it. It feels like I am the god or someone special to god.
The dream I had told me many things, and I used it pretty well. People come to me and ask about what will happen just then. When my answer amazes them they treat me as well. Tomorrow is the day of the concert. But many things are different from the dream I had.
Deepak will attend the concert, Nikita is safe not in the hospital, and many more. Yeah. about that horrifying incident. I have a plan for it.
According to the dream, Miss Sima Gupta became my good friend. I had often offered her to visit my house for tea. We were close; we used to share many things about our lives. So she might have visited my house to meet me. To talk about something. As she is famous, she might have some rivals, anti-fan. or someone threatening her, etc. So while she came to my house, my neighbor who is Seema's huge fan might have given my house's spare keys. The killer might have followed her and got the opportunity to kill her at my house.
That's my assumption.
To prevent that, I restrict myself from being Seema's friend. I didn't let her see my house. I took my spare keys from my neighbor too. And in my dream when I returned from the concert I saw her dead I sat near her people saw me and I was suspected. So tonight I am not coming back to my house. I'll have a night out.
"Hey Piya!"
"Jayesh!"
"Don't forget your promise."
"Yes, I won't. We will go to your studio after the concert."

The doomsday.
For the concert, I wear ocean blue knee-length lace dress. Paired with white heels and an off-white clutch. Complimented with stone earrings and a bracelet.
The dress is a bit sexy, but I didn't want to wear the red one. In the vision, I was drowning in the red one. This much prevention is more than enough right.
"honk honk, "
Deepak is downstairs waiting for me. This thing is fresh. I had to take a cab for it, but now my friend is giving me the company.
"woo hoo...."
We enjoyed the concert as expected but more than that in vision coz Deepak is here too.
"Come, I'll drop you." Deepak says.
"We have a plan, I'll drop her home safely." Jayesh says.
I just nodded yes.
Deepak left for his house. Then I and Jayesh went for dinner. This one was new too.
"We aren't on a date. Why you choose this expensive restaurant?"
"Today is special, you are special. So I thought for you I should at least do something special too." Jayesh says.
"But this is a really expensive place. You sure you have that much budget?"
"Don't worry, dear. Our life is too short who knows what gonna happen next. So we should leave life like it's the last day." He says. "Leave every day as if it's your last day. Don't think much. Just enjoy it."

After dinner, we went to Jayesh's studio. Today is the last day the comet will be visible. Our plan is to watch it through his telescope. In the vision, we saw it 2-3 days before. But I planned it for today.
"Coffee?"
"No, I don't like hot drinks."
"Oh.. fitness conscious."
"As a yoga teacher, I suggest others too."
"I am not a fitness freak like you dear. I am not saying it's bad coz you have a gorgeous figure."
"Are you hitting on me?"
"No, just saying." He says. "You are looking stunning in this dress."
"Thank you."
An awkward silence spread in the room.
"Isn't it the time?" I broke the silence.
"Yes."
"Let me help you."
"No, it's okay."
"How can it be okay, yaar. I am at your place, so I should at least help you."
We started to set-up the telescope. While doing that I feel a bit uneasy. Jayesh's hand was on my back and it was sliding downward.
"Jayesh?"
"Hmm"
He took off his hand.
"Piya! We are partners, but are we friends?
"Yes. Don't you think so?"
"I don't know. We don't do something friends do."
"Like?"
"We don't talk about our private lives."
"We do to some extent."
"We never hugged each other, you know?"
"Really? I've never noticed."
"Because you never wanted to."
"Not wanted to notice or not wanted to hug you?"
"You won't hug me."
"Why?"
"I am a boy."
"I do hug Deepak a lot, even if he is a boy. I don't discriminate."
"You are saying, you are comfortable to hug me."
"As far as you are."
"I don't believe it."
"What is there not to believe?"
"Prove it. Can you hug me now?"
"What?"
"You are hesitating. You don't treat me as your friend."
"Oh come on."
"Will you?" He says with a sad expression. "I know you won't"
I exhale a deep breath and walk close to him. I put my arm around him and hugged him. He get shocked.
"See. What I said"
Saying this I tried to pull back. But he wrapped is arm around my body and returned hug me.
"What's so hurry?"
We are hugging each other and suddenly he places a kiss on my forehead, then on my eyebrow. He hold my face and lifted up. His kisses got aggressive.
"Jayesh?"
"Jayesh what are you doing?"
"Don't stop me."
"Jayesh stop it please."
"Mmm mmm"
"Jayesh stop..."
"What's wrong with you Jayesh?"
I grab my clutch and runs out of his studio.
I almost bumped into many cars. I was running in so unmindful way that I didn't realise where I ended up.
I am standing in the bridge of that river in which I was drowning in my vision.
"Piya Verma, a simple yoga teacher who was in a heavy debt extorted money from Miss Seema Gupta. She even fraudulently took Seema's properties too."
"What?"
"Sources says when Seema went to Piya's house for negotiation she killed her and ran away. News 19 headlines"
"What's going on?"
"Fraud? Money? Which money they are talking about? Why she went to my house? It's exactly like my dream. Why? How?"
"Welcome back to News 19......"
"Mmmm mmm"
Someone's arm holds me forcefully. His hand pressed my lips so I cannot scream.
There is no one around. His one hand on my face another glide to hold my wrist.
I kicked him and while fighting back I got injured my left hand.
During the fight above the bridge I accidentally fell on the river. Just like my dream. I don't know how to swim.
I struggle hard but couldn't make it.
"splash"
"splash"
"Aaaahhhh"
"ohh ohh"
I took heavy breath. What? I am in my bathroom again?...
Was that a dream?
