EPIPHANY

1.FIRST ENCOUNTER

"Britney broke her record, again. Three hours late! I wish nobody has kidnapped her," Stella grinned at Sofia, as Sofia added, "But I believe if she's kidnapped, kidnapper will certainly return her without money."

After arrival, Britney started to run but suddenly collided with a guy in the hallway. All her luggage spattered on the floor, and she also fell down. The person in front of her helped her to get up and gather that luggage with her vanity bag. After thanking him she hurriedly went upstairs to the destined room where Stella and Sofia were waiting for her.

"Hey girls, I've arrived finally," Britney shrugged entering into the room. As she picked out her cell phone to inform her arrival to her mother, she understood that wasn't her mobile.

When Britney reached, Sofia went out for some snack and drink. She went to cafeteria attached with the Albert hall. After taking lemon smoothy from the counter suddenly a guy hit her unknowingly. In misbalance the smoothy fell on her clothes. As the guy turned, he stammered, "Oh! I'm really sorry miss; actually it happened just in a sudden."

"Alright, but be careful," she frowned looking at her wet t-shirt.

"Oops!" he immediately handed his hanky but she refused. She left cafeteria and the young man followed. Though she realised he was behind her, she didn't resist him. In a glare he's tall, beyond six feet with blonde hair and grey eyes.

"Miss, that's really a flub but still can I do something to doom myself?"

"Oh don't blame yourself! This happens sometime. I also destroyed a lot even," and she giggled.

"Then have you forgiven me?"

"Yeah, long ago." Both smiled at each other. In an instant her tinkling laugh splattered like glass marbles on the floor and touched his heart. His eyes locked on her face, her ivory black frizzy locks muffling her flesh tint cheeks and forehead. How she covered her mouth with her fingers just as sometime thick cloud mass covers the bright jolly sun.

"So, I'm Sofia Irwin from Stephale Women College."

"Ah, I'm Alex Kieffer."

Both started walking through the hallway to their rooms, with their brief conversation. Just before reaching her room he exhaled and asked, "So think we'll meet again in the annual ceremony."

"Then will you again drench me with smoothy?" Sofia smirked.

"Probably don't know. But I'll try to be alert."Alex shrugged. For a moment both remained silent, then she uttered, "Well meet you there at evening if you don't drench me."

"Then at which time?" he immediately replied.

"I think at six I guess. See you," she said looking him with a candid expression and entered at the room.

After return his room he realised a string of ally has bonded itself unknowingly. It was felt like if she's moon then he's selenophile, if she's rain then he's pluviophile. It felt like she's a specimen of a dazzling beauty, he never came across. Also her vocal tone and behaviour both were splendid and fascinating. ________________________________________

"What?!! How can you be so much irresponsible? I mean it has exchanged and you didn't realise?"

"Ah huh... that all happened in a hurry." "Stop screaming and make a plan how to get it back."

"Such a dump head! Just dial your phone number and make a phone call," Sofia threw her cell phone to Britney. Stella was grinning covering her mouth by her commends.

"Hello there. Actually by which you're speaking that's my phone and I've yours," Britney mumbled.

"Ohoo, then it has switched at the time of collision. Sorry miss, think I bothered you." "Nah, that's not. Even the fault's mine."

Then they fixed a place to meet and hung up. Exhaling in relief Britney realised Sofia's shirt front is wet.

"What's with it Soff?"

"Nothing much, let me change now."

After that they started chatting about ludicrous stuffs and Sofia told them 'bout Alex. Besides she took her guitar and made different soothing tunes. In the stream of their conversation Sofia had slowly gone into reverie.

"Soff, hey! Listen, can't you hear?"

"Think she's taking a nap," after grin Britney gave her a sudden jerk.

"Wohuhh! Huh huh huh..." Sofia started to pant sharply, made the Blonde girl frown. "Hey, wha-what's wrong?" both of them stammered.

"She....she's sobbing, again. I mean....hey what's that?" Sofia stammered.

"Again that hallucination, right?"

"It really disturbs you. Are you continuing with you therapies?"

"But what's that song? I never heard this before," Britney exhaled a deep breath.

"It felt like I's terrified for some reason and also that another girl resemble to me. So I's trying to console her."

"You know that composition you made and the song, it's excellent but quite depressing."

"Girls, I'll just come. Need to take some fresh air, I guess," and Sofia went outside without another word.

Sofia's P.O.V.:-

It's that kind of dream I know. Why it has been always chasing me since my childhood. I'm sure though she looks as me but it isn't me. I's grasping her hand firmly like I adore her so much like I've to save her at any rate. Her eyes were red, puffy and drenched with tears. And the worst thing is from when I've came here, it felt so indifferent, metaphorically somnolent. It felt like a tangled incident is unravelling itself.

Everything is so strange, so as my life. How I always knew the storyline of Harry Potter before releasing the movie or the book? Why fascinating instrumental tune automatically start inside of my ears. Those hallucinations are so obsessing? And that guy why he always calls me for duel and that pink sword, that palace, those people who are they and who am I? But it feels like these all are the part of my psyche.
