DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES...

Dreams and nightmare : chapter 30.

Sometimes I thinks tortoise moves a bit faster than me, if we talk about this book. Believe me I'm dying to complete it, first I thought I will complete it in around 30 chapters, but the emotions of each and every character won't let me do that. Its chp 30 and I'm still on climax. I mean, in all these years I felt thousand times to close this book and tell all characters that "Hey! get lost, shop is closed." but then I see their puppy dog eyes and melt down. So coming back to track, readers who are waiting for it so long, here we go.

Anuj's  P. O. V
    
      'The pain that you've been feeling, can't compare to the joy that's coming'. Again one of the bible quote said by my dear friend Steve, when we were in college. Those were the days of gush, crush and fuss. There was an inter college tournament in pune, myself and Steve both participated in college cricket team. Steve was indeed good bowler and I was good at batting and that was the very reason I got scholarship in Veer Narmad University, other than my parents won't be able to afford such college. Steve didn't applied for sports quota, his merits were loud and clear. Those practice days were almost dissolved in pain and gaiety. We use to set up pranks on fellow team members and were supportive to them too. Professors used to call us 'Jay Veeru'.
          Now Steve completely behave like he never knew me in his life time. I never thought a single argument can asunder us so horrendously that we came face to face as strangers, though I know it was completely my fault. I was the one to hit him, I still don't get it what crawled into me, it was unable to put off the heat of  the moment and it result in situation where I lost my one and only friend or say a part of me. These three years I lived my life in complete chaos, when I saw Steve after a long span, I was so relieved as if half of my problems are seeing off me, of course it did but my friend didn't came back to me, he was just came ito the picture willing because of Riddhi. It ached my soul through its core, I wish I could just...

    I straight struggled to the kitchen drawer to armed myself with huge knife. Someone knocked at the door and I don't want to take any risk, though Navi told me to stay low profile and don't create any mess in her old house, but I can't help it, I'm a mess magnet. I went to main door and swing opened the door with one swift, being careful with my wounded arm and knife in other hand ready to attack.

Riddhi's  P. O. V.

        My Father accompanied me to Navi's old flat which was in next street to my house. I don't know what private prep talk my parents had, but since that papa is really very eager to meet Anuj. I hope so Maa didn't puke out about my feelings for Anuj to Papa, but the extend I have gone for Anuj can't hide my heart behind any curtain. I have no other choice then to face the circumstances, but I trust my father. He is not that dominating, but he is after all my father, its like I am taking my father to meet my boyfriend. Oh God Riddhi! What kind of thoughts you are having. He is not your boyfriend and you are just helping him out, then why the hell I am so nervous.
    
     "Don't worry, everything will be okay."

     My father consoled me, and I replied with unwanted smile. He knocked on the door and the next view made me not only smile but blush too. Anuj was standing with knife, ready to attack and that made me straight land to memory lane. Gopal lost his breath to find knife on his throat, ready to slice. But when Riddhi came to know the hand which was holding the knife, her heart forget to beat. I can still feel that touch and that was the reason of my tainted cheeks. When Anuj saw me, he backed off and let my father entered in.

   "Anuj you don't have to worry any more, Riddhi told me everything and I promise you'll be soon out of this turmoil, and breath air of relief."

    Anuj was so overwhelmed by my father's supporting hand on his soldiers that his eyes were wet. I can't held myself and put my both hands on his lap, crouching down and give him encouraging smile.
