The Present
Sona woke up the next day feeling totally different. It had been a bad dream… she just didn’t remember what exactly she had dreamt about.
She had been having such dreams for the past couple of days, maybe even weeks, but she had no idea how to tell her parents. She was sure they would call her crazy if they ever found out about them.
She knew one person who could help her that was her best friend, Priya. They had been best friends for a very long time. Just as she was still contemplating the dream, there came a loud banging on the door.
“Sona, wake up. You have to be at work on time,” she heard her mother call, which told her she needed to get up or else that woman would keep banging harder on the door.
“Okay, Mom, I am dressing up,” she lied, hoping her mother would believe her and leave her alone for a moment.
“I am not leaving this door unless I see you come out. I am done with your tricks,” her mom went on.
“Okay, Mom, let me get up,” she said as she slowly got out of bed. She knew this was the best she could do, or she would be dragged out in no time.
She got up from the bed and headed to the mirror to look at herself—something she did every morning. Then she was shocked at the sight before her.
Blue eyes.
This was impossible.
She had always had brown eyes. She didn’t believe someone could change eye color overnight. Then the dream began coming back to her.
“My eyes are blue!” she said, shocked.
She didn’t know whether to call her parents and tell them what was happening. Just like anyone else, she was in a very confusing state. Just as she was about to open the door, an inner voice told her not to, and she decided to leave it.
Still confused, she sat on her unmade bed, thinking deeply. She tried to remember the dream she had been seated on a pillar, and then that man came in… he had been white-haired…
Then she couldn’t remember anything anymore.
It was as if something had been placed in her mind to erase everything that had happened. She was someone who never forgot dreams so easily until now.
Still perplexed, she realized her mother would come into her room in a few minutes if she didn’t get out.
At 22, her mother still treated her like a child. Of course, she had gotten used to it by now.
She headed into the bathroom to take a morning shower a habit she had developed over time. After stripping down, she got into the bathtub.
Then a memory came rushing into her mind.
She had been deep in some kind of water… and snakes had been biting her all over.
This made her look down at her body and she was shocked to see snake bites all over her skin.
“Oh my God,” she said in shock as she panicked and quickly got out of the water. Without dressing, she ran to her bedroom to look at herself in the mirror.
She was terrified at what she saw.
She had snake bites all over her body.
There was something in her mind she was trying to figure out, but she didn’t know what it was.
“What is really happening to me?” she asked herself, losing control. She felt like there was something she had experienced, but she couldn’t remember what exactly it was.
“Look at me… I have woken up with blue eyes, snake bites all over my body, and so much more… what is happening to me?” she said.
She decided to leave it for later and maybe figure out what was going on in her life. She picked up a pair of black shades, hoping they would help her disguise her eyes.
Sona moved toward her workplace. She decided not to take her car she just wasn’t in the mood to drive. Instead, she took a cab.
As soon as she got into the car, the driver turned.
“Welcome, blue-eyed queen.”
What had he just said? And how had he known she had blue eyes when this had only happened a few hours ago? What the hell was happening to her?
“How do you know that I am blue-eyed?” she asked.
Then something strange happened.
A bright light flashed before her eyes and the driver turned into that old man… the white-haired man.
“The time has come, my queen,” he said in a voice that felt strangely familiar.
