Abhay's Bedroom, Raichand Mansion.
Abhay is walking through a dark pathway in a jungle , wounded , scared , lost and his abdomen bleeding. It's a full moon night and the trees swaying to the wind are singing a ghoulish rhythm that seems to be mourning Abhay's condition. Abhay is looking around for something like a madman and just then , he sees a tall masculine figure , shrouded in a black cloak , standing at a distance –the horse neighing restlessly. Abhay , drenched in his own blood goes to him and a pair of deep emerald green eyes look down at him from under the cloak. Abhay peers at his face and his eyes go wide open as he sees the aquiline nose and the soft mouth widening in a sneer. The man gives out his hand to Abhay .
Man : Come away with me, Abhay. To the end of the world.
Abhay : Who are you….
Man ( laughs ): You know me. I thought you must have been missing me.
And the man removes his cloak….
Abhay wakes up with a start and he is so shocked that his own scream does not escape his throat. He can feel his breath running faster than his body can function and he is soaked in sweat.
Abhay ( throwing off the covers and getting off the bed )- What was that…. I didn't see what I saw! It … It is impossible . It just… c-can't be.
Totally shocked by his nightmare and his fete going cold , Abhay rushes to the bathroom and getting out of his night clothes, he just stands under the shower – the water running down his body and calming his nerves. Abhay just cannot get those green eyes and that soft mouth out of his head.
Abhay ( alarmed )- After all these years, suddenly. What are you upto?...Invading my dreams…. What could be running in his head! …..
As Abhay puts his palms on the cold marble wall, as the water washes off his anxiety , his eyes fly open at the sight of something on his knuckles. It's a long ugly gash and its bleeding.
Abhay ( looking at his palm horrified )- This was…. This was in my nightmare! ..How ……
Abhay's jaw tightens as he angrily heals his own wound and turns off the water. He wipes his face and looks t himself in the mirror.
Abhay ( feeling something sink inside him)- This can't be happening to me……..this can't be happening at all……
Abhay just covers his face and slides down to the floor , against the cold wall.
Lonely Road, En Route to Dobriyaal House.
Misha is whistling and driving , with her windows rolled down and smelling the pines , her gorgeous peach cheeks glowing in the pink of nature. Suddenly , she hears lightening and thunderbolt . And before she can even take in this sudden change in the weather , it starts raining cats and dogs .
Misha ( pulling the brakes and drawing the car aside )- UGHS! And double ughs! From where did this rain start? It was a full moon night with nice pine breeze and BOOM! Harry Potter drew out his magic wand and opened the water tankers? ???????????????GRR! …..( rolling up the windows )…. Its almost like a cloud burst and all I can see is WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She pulls out her cellphone and dials her father's number.
Misha ( relieved when Madhu picks the call )- MOMMY! Your daughter will be late by an hour or so because I am stuck in this waterfall of a rain!...what? Its just drizzling there? No Mommy! I am not in a different climatic zone. Stop kidding. …..yeah, I am sitting cozy in my car , so don't send an army of drivers and cars to fetch me. ….yeah . Ciao in an hour or so and don't worry , I am not going to open car doors to animals and ghosts….hahahaha! Love you!
Misha ends the call and sits waiting for the rain to calm down , so that she can safely drive home.
Misha is about to doze off , when she suddenly sees a pair of headlights – zig-zag headlights approaching from the other end of the road. Misha opens her eyes and peers.
Misha (yawning)- What kind of a fool is this person? Driving in this freakin' waterfall and that too on this slippery road! People, I tell you!
As Misha looks on , her almond doe eyes have a sudden rise of alarm as she sees that the approaching car , is actually out of control and is rambling all over the road. Infact , it could hit Misha's standing car off the road with that kind of force.
Misha ( screams) – STOPPP!
Misha immediately gets off the car and rolls off to the other side of the road, catching onto a tree and as she watches in horror as the wild car bangs into her standing car and then , swerving off the road , rams into the same tree that Misha is holding. Misha hugs the tree and shutting her eyes, she screams her lungs out. The rain stops and everything turns still. The door of the driver's seat is thrown open. A tall, broad and well-built masculine figure gets down from the car. There are gashes on his arms , his neck and one side of his face. The blood is running down but he seems least bit affected. Misha can feel that she is fainting and her vision fading. She can hazily see a man walking towards her – blue denims, a black V-neck T, powerful-looking. As he bends over her, putting a gentle hand on her head , Misha sees a set of deep emerald pools that one could drown in looking down at her – a soft mouth on a rigid jaw moving as if to ask her something. She cannot hear what he is asking her. The last visual that she remembers is of a strong steely arm with a lion's growling face tattooed on it, sliding under her waist and the other under her legs.
Misha feels her body lifted off the ground and then, her swimming head comes to rest on a warm but sturdy chest……As soon as her soft head finds rest , she goes off to sleep cocooned on a man's chest as his arms engulf her fragile feminine form…….
TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW ITTSELF…. HAHA.
