The Seven Days

THE ENCOUNTER WITH ONE

One day when I was sleeping suddenly I heard a voice of something and when I opened my eyes to my surprise Aaron wasn't present in the room and even the window of the room was open from which cool breeze was entering inside the room and as I woke up only after feeling cold in my room which was more than usual

And soon after that I also started finding him, but he wasn't available in the room as I was unable to find him and then suddenly I came across the open window and when I looked out of it to my surprisingly I came across the fact that the moon is nowhere to be seen in the salt as it was pitch dark in the sky as well

And as soon as I came across the condition of the sky which was pitch dark suddenly I once again heard something falling inside my room and when I paid attention to it surprisingly I saw Aaron just behind me and before I could ask him anything suddenly he again disappeared and when I once again looked out of the window

I saw that now moon is visible in the sky but the thing which was odd about the moon was that it suddenly turned into pitch red color as if someone spilled blood on it and before I could even figure out the situation suddenly the moon turned into face of someone and even that face was looking identical to me and after putting stress on my mind

I came across a fact that the face which has appeared on the moon is of Aaron and once again before any of my action suddenly the moon started talking and said,” You have to pay for your sins as you can run but really can't hide from me”

Which reminded me of various such incidents which took place with me earlier which once again scared me and suddenly the moon transformed into ball of lava and came towards the room as if someone has catapulted it and within matter of few seconds it came in front of me and just stopped right in front of the window

From which I was looking at it and once again the moon repeated the same thing,” You have to pay for your sins as you can run but really can't hide from me”

And soon after completing the sentence it exploded like a bomb because of which I was also burnt and hence I started screaming with pain only to realize that I was still on my bed when Aaron came to me by hearing my screaming and started asking me about the problem but I just ended up the conversation by just telling that it was just a nightmarish dream and nothing more than that

“What happened ?, are you alright ?”, Aaron asked me

But I was so scared that I hugged him tightly with a statement,” Please don't leave me as he is going to kill me

“ Just calm down as no one is here and as far as I am here nothing is going to harm you”, he tried to calm me down

But I was so much scared that instead of getting calm I got even more scared as now I was even shivering out of fear as I was really unable to understand anything and I just held me tightly while still he was trying to calm me down

And I exactly don't remember when I fell sleep while still resting on his shoulder only to open my eyes the very next morning finding Aaron sleeping beside me and even I was also sleeping beside him keeping my head on his chest and as soon as I opened my eyes

I got away from him and went to the washroom in order to get ready for the office but suddenly I got remember that it was weekend that day so instead of getting ready for office I just brushed my teeth and went to the kitchen for preparing coffee and as soon as I prepared coffee and was about to just pour it in the mug

But suddenly I felt something on my waist and I heard voice of Aaron as he softly kissed my neck stating,” Good morning darling, I hope that you must be fine because last night you were not seemed okay ?”

But before I could speak anything suddenly I came across the voice of Aaron once again,” Rebecca, Rebecca, Where are you Rebecca ?”, And this time his voice was coming from far away and when I turned back to my surprise no one was present behind me

And suddenly I saw Aaron who just entered inside kitchen, and he once again asked me the same question,”Good morning darling, I hope that you must be fine because last night you were not seemed okay ?” , Which shocked me

“ You are joking ?, Am I right ?”, I asked him

“ Do you really think that I am joking because it has been barely 5 minutes since I woke up and I directly came here and you are asking such an odd question”, he replied with bit stress in his voice

“ Okay, I am sorry, I have prepared your favorite coffee and just have it and please don't get angry”, I tried to calm him down as I thought that he really didn't like my question as I handed him coffee as well as gave him tight hug with a smile on my face

“ Your smile, ufff ....it's going to kill me one day, even I am ready to die for your such beautiful smile but by the way what happened to you last night as you were so scared that even I also didn't ask you more about the situation”, he smiled as well as asked me a question while still hugging me with a mug of coffee in his hand

“ Just forget all that and hug me as tight as you can because all I need right now is a warm and tight hug and just forget about night because the way past as the day passed”, I told him to hug me

In response to which he hugged me so tightly that I almost screamed with pain

“ Ouch .... Don't kill me”, I told him

“ O, I am sorry as I was just following your order my lord”, he lose his grip and told me with a smile on his face

But I was still keeping my head on his chest and hearing his heartbeats which felt like calm ocean with many secrets buried in it and while I was still feeling the calmness of his heart suddenly I heard him,” I will be very thankful to you if you will leave me as I really want to get ready and let's go out for date”

“ Did you said date ?”, I asked him while opening my eyes with surprised tone

“ I guess because it has been almost one year of our friendship, and so I thought that we should celebrate it”, he replied with a smile on his face

" What do you mean by we have completed one year of our friendship ?, I love you man and you are saying that we are just friends”, I showed my aggression towards his comment and even started hitting on his chest

“ Okay, okay my mistake, I thought that we were just friends”, he caught my hands and replied with a crooked smile in his face

“ Don't frustrate me Aaron or else I will kill you”, I shouted on him out of frustration as his mischievous comments were making me angry and aggressive as well

“ Okay my love just get ready and let's go out for date as I have already booked our table in advance and I really don't want to get late”, he told me to get ready quickly for date

“ After that we will go for shopping and then Spa as it has been 2 months as I haven't done my facial along with pedicure and manicure and after that we will go to my favorite garden and then...”, But before I could complete my sentence

He intervened in between,” Okay darling we will go to each and every place where you want to go because first we have to get out if here in order to reach somewhere”

And listening to his statement I got so happy that I almost bite on his cheek in excitement and soon after that we both got ready and went to date and soon we reached in the restaurant where he already booked the table and as soon as we settled down

We were served our favorite dish, and we both started eating it but suddenly there came a person who was looking very odd and as soon as he came near our table he started telling something odd with a smile on his face,”I know what you don't but I also know what you also know”

And soon after completing his statement that odd man walked out of the place and soon after that Aaron told me not to pay attention to him and just enjoy the food as according to him the food was very delicious but when I looked towards the plate I saw worms instead of food because of which I screamed so loudly that everyone started looking at us

“ What happened ?, Why are you shouting Rebecca ?”, He asked me

And when I once again opened my eyes to my eyes which I closed due to fear, I came across fact that everything was already as the plate had food in it and nothing else

“ I think I am not fine so please just let's go home as I am really feeling very odd which I am unable to explain to you right now”, I told him with a tensed voice

“ Okay, but just calm down before that and just relax as nothing has happened as everything is perfectly alright, so I want you to do everything whichever you planned as we really don't get such sweet time to spend together every day and hence I'll suggest you to keep your mind calm so that we can complete all our plans”, he tried to make me understand everything

“ Please Aaron, I beg of you, take me home as I am really not in mood of anything else as I really want some rest as I think that once again he is playing game with me”, And I just walked out of the place even without waiting for him

And soon we reached home but I could easily figure out from his expression that he was very much upset as well as frustrated with my behavior, and so I decided to talk to him, and so I went near him who was standing near the window and I hugged him from behind

“ I am extremely sorry but I really don't know what happened with means, so I got stubborn regards to come home again as I really want to rest”, I told him while keeping my head on his back with eyes closed but suddenly he caught my hands which was on his chest and turned back towards me while pushing me slowly away from him
