RiMa TS: Aino

It was just the same dream..which made him restless, sleepless and almost lunatic!! He couldn't get rid of it. He asked Ayush, son of the chief minister and his best friend whether the same happened to him ever. His reaction was a treat to watch when he represented his dream laconically. At first he stared at him with a big o shaped mouth, eyes popping out of his core,losing blinks..then when he groaned Ayush managed somehow to close his mouth..but instantly producing a ear-bursting laughter as if he just had cracked him up with a joke. Then he stopped himself,again with a great force, holding his big fat tummy and said still bubbling.. "aah..ohhh yeh..sorry dear.,hohoohh. I was just..oh my God!" Rishabh frowned, then made a face and looked away. 'why the hell he's rattling like a hippo! What's so funny here?'

"You mean..the thing..oh I mean your dream girl..she is just coming every night and making u run after him...but why does she run so much?? Just to make u chase her or she just practices some kind of race in..oh ur dreams??" then he started laughing and coughing again. Rishabh went away from his sight but Ayush wasn't the man to leave him in peace..so he ran after him.

"Oh oh dear..arre stop stop. U r making me run like the girl. Well.." he finally looked serious, but Rishabh knew it was just a pretension. Hence he didn't leave his angry look. "Tell me brother..why do you think she really exists..somewhere in the world. It sounds so unreal..please don't get me wrong but nobody would believe in your story." "First..it's not story I have seen her..seeing for 9 nights..u believe or not!!" Rishabh said in a husky tone. " But brother-" Ayush put a hand on his shoulder which he instantly shrugged.

"I won't force u to believe anything..but u r my best friend so I thought to share it with u..that too when u asked.." Ayush rolled his eyes and cleared his throat and finally spoke in a different urgent pitch.." well..now when you have seen her face then we may find her..of course if she really exists in flesh and blood...what makes you feel that she is real? It pretty seems to be a mere dream or delusion."

Rishabh nodded his head side by side. "No..I can say she exists..I am attached with her..I am well able to sense that. There is definitely a interlinking. I want to end this hunches.."

"Then.." Ayush looked far away..trying to picture someone or something. "one can help you..yeah I know someone who can help you to find out the mysterious lady.." Rishabh's face flashed up in a blink..he almost had lost his way..his situation was like a all lost sailor in a mid-sea of a voyage. He caught Ayush's hand hastily. "Really? You know how this could be solved? You really do?" Ayush smiled but the serious look didn't leave his face. "Hmm..I don't assure you but..I can make you meet someone who can show you right way..may be." Rishabh hugged him tightly and so suddenly that Ayush was almost about to lose his balance..he hold the nearby table to be balanced. "Thank you..thank you so much brother!" He was panting heavily in joy. "ok ok..now let me explain u my plan." Ayush told patting his back..pampering his friend's craze.

The next morning they went to the countryside to meet the magician plus fortune-teller or according to Ayush "master of supernatural bluffs". Rishabh had to depend on him..on whatever he said as he was the only ray of hope.

"I am seeing the image of her..yes yes..in ur mind..it's so strong and translucent. She is there in ur brain and mind all the time." The old,bearded man said rolling a stick, a magic wand like thing around Rishabh's head..while he was sitting hypnotized and Ayush was seeing everything with the skeptical black eyes of his. The fortune-teller was fully engrossed in his client. Ayush was about to say something but the fortune-teller hushed him up.

"open your eyes Prince Rishabh.." Ayush stood up hearing his address. "How do you know that..that.." "I know everything..even the facts people doesn't tell me..u r son of chief minister and he is son of our king..the heir of the Kingdom." he shot a victorious knowing smile at him. Ayush made a sulky face and sat quietly. Rishabh had opened his eyes now but he seemed to be in utopia still. "Drink the water and look at the globe." the man ordered. Ayush couldn't stop saying "let me drink it first.." "no u can't..it's his duty..u can't do it. And trust me..I won't kill him. I have only one head on my neck." so Ayush backed off. Rishabh followed the command. Then a strange phenomenon happened. Ayush could not believed his eyes through which he saw the happening.

The globe was black first..inert and just like a ball. "Picture her in ur mind and look into this..concentrate.." the man chanted something and the colour of the globe started to change..at first became foggy..after one minute or two its started to pale..then finally they got the milky color. The man, still closing his narrow eyes,chanted something with more enthusiasm. Rishabh and Ayush looked at each other.

"See her in this.." the magician commanded to them,in same muffled deep-throated tone. They instantly stared at the globe and just backed off seeing the image in it. A petite girl with pale skin, black long hair touching the end of her torso..swaying in gentle breeze..they was observing her back now she turned to them..they got a view of her perfect angelic face..a swanlike throat beneath a beautifully created v shaped chin..she was looking at someone or something very curiously with her hazel doe eyes...her smooth pulpy lips were curved in a sweet smile...holding her caramel colored gown with one hand and other resting on the trunk of a big Pipul tree . It seemed she was wandering around the woods. Beside her, there was a white pony..looking at the ground..in search of grasses..

"There.," Rishabh pointed at her with his index finger "She's the girl who came in my dreams..every night..I saw her..exactly her!" Ayush swallowed hard and thought to speak something but his tongue didn't find anything deserving to utter. So he just stared at Rishabh and magician shocked-faced.

The old magician smirked, giving a knowing titter. "Please tell me who is she? And how can I reach her?" Rishabh asked hurriedly. Ayush still couldn't get whether he was dreaming or it's happening in real. He pinched himself to ensure. "Ouuuch!!" he cried loud. "Shut up u.." Rishabh chided him.

"sorry Prince..u can't never reach her..she's not coming in ur hand anytime in ur life." magician shrugged. Ayush chuckled "ohh I knew it..she can't meet Prince cause she's not real right? All what we witnessed in this globe is just a illusion like his dream right?" "no..not at all..she's very much real like you and me." magician stated rigidly. Rishabh frowned "Then?"

The magician left his seat and started roaming on the wooden floor. After few seconds he spoke again "The girl whom you saw..is not a human..she's cursed. She is a flower.."
