The Adventure of the Dreamworld

Episode 4 Illusions of Dreamworld

I stood still, felt like someone broke me into pieces. They were all laughing at me. Droplets of tear and sweat rolled down my face at once. I stood still. I felt someone's hand on my shoulder saying some kind of a poetry, to console me, like...

"If you are broken, it's better to die… Before your depression will kill your soul…

And make you a gushy fool… Ohh, you pitiful alamort capita!

Not you, Please-please don't cry… The grief inside you should die…

Wake-up an steady calm minded… As you buried your nightmare…

To a new destination, step ahead… Stand still, to these lightly challenges…

Ohh Man, you are the future king… Have a focus to your goal...

Open up the wing… You are mighty lord, Redact your soul".

...I was not in a condition to understand it all but really a motivational poem, it was. Distracted my emotional point of mind.

As I turned back it was Chameli. Her appearance was different from her usual look. She looked more younger then last time I shaw her. Her face was charming but no heavy makeup nor any age wrinkles. She was well dressed in expensive Banarasi Sari. A slime and beautiful woman at her early age of twenty six or seven..

Why is Chameli here? I was about to ask. Before that, she said shaking me by my shoulder... Maddy, get out of this whirl dream. It's all a jugglery to entrap your mind...

"What do you mean? Why are you here? Can't you see my love is gone. Leave me alone, I wanna die. I'm broken."

It was too painful that I woke up of my sleep and broke my dream. I don't know my friends, if they were still dreaming or not...

I was shivering in a deep pain. A few droplets of sweat rolled over my face. I was frightened and felt absentminded.

A sudden krk krk krk... sound trembled me more. I switched on the light and gained my senses. Oh, again it was a dream but what the sound is about. I frowned and inspected nearby bed.

I discovered a mouse, who was munching a jar of water. What the f**k of these mice. Is a water jar seems a piece of peanut butter to them. I shouted in anger loudly to the mouse... Hey you! That water jar costs one fifty rupees. Obviously I was foolish to say that to a mouse but it worked. My loud voice frightened the mouse and it ran away.

I mocked of myself. I suddenly paused. Why the dream was like that? I thought. I checked my cellphone. It showed 2:49am.

I dialled my girlfriend. The phone rang a full long ringtones two times. She didn't received. I was frustrated and about to switch off my phone. Is she sleeping by selling horses? I grumbled by myself.

The phone rang. It was her. I kept watching the phone ringing. A full ringtone passed rang by the phone. It was about to end up ringing and I picked it up.

"Hello, Why are you calling this early morning"? Did you saw a romantic dream of me? She sleepily asked, showering her love.

Hey that was not romantic. You... You...

I opened my mouth to speak something else but swallowed my word back, and said nothing.

After a minutes pause, I said... "Are you getting married or do you have anyone else in your life"? ... I asked in a trembling voice.

Yes, I'm getting married tomorrow with a foreign guy. You must come to witness the marriage. She said so bluntly.

Hey don't play tricks with me, I will kill you. I said almost crying.

She burst out laughing and said you made my day. What a joke hahaha... You dreaming like this, these days and afraid of loosing me? Do you love me that much...huh? I sobbed and said nothing. Awww my babu is so innocent and sweet. She teased me in a stammering voice, "dear you know I only and only love you". Chill, That was just a dream.

I blushed, realizing my childish behavior. Oh I was too afraid of the dream. I smiled and said...You know how much I love you babe.

Of course I know. She said smilingly.

Okay I can sleep now. Bye I said. Wait... You, you broke my sleep and now you gonna sleep. I will not let you sleep. She said.

Umm okay, your majesty, I'm ready for your punishment... I said.

Trk... Trk... My phone alerted me of an incoming call. Name flashed on the cellphone screen... Rohit.

...Rohit? Why is he calling this time. By the way is he calling because of that dream? I thought.

Babe I'll call you later... Sleep well. I said and disconnected her call... And received Rohit's call. He was in conference call with Rajesh and Prince.

We discussed the dream half an hour and felt so disturbed. So we decided to sleep and discuss it in morning.

Today I wake up very late at 10.30am. It maybe the tension effect of the dream. But why no one wake me up today? I wondered. I felt dizzy. So wake up and sat on the bed wondering about last night.

Heard my mom's call... "Babu get up... It's 11 o'clock. Mom, it's 10:30am now. Why don't you wake me up today... It's too late. I said.

I went to your room to wake you up, but I saw you sleeping with your diary open and your pen in your fingers. So I thought, you were studying late night... N So I left you sleeping. Mom said.

I wondered, what had happened last night... After I disconnected the conference call from Rohit n friends. I tried to note down the dream in my diary... But fell in a deep sleep within a moment.

All we friends lived our whole day in tension wondering why we were facing such dream...

I completely note down the dream into my diary. Day passed...

Now it's 11:30 pm. We friends played a round of online dice and ludo game in smartphone. Rajesh won first... Prince was second and I third. Rohit lost.

After that match we slept...

In my dreams...
