The Prophetic Dreamer

Chapter 25: what's happening

That night the man didn't sleep. He thought and thought about the decision he has taken about her daughter.

Hakim is not a bad guy. He grew up with us. He bullies. It's fine he'll not do so again right?
But Hania isn't interested in him. She likes a guy who put a flower in her hair right? He thought

What should I do. Someone tell me.

In contrast to it, something else also happened that night. Zain got his senses and pulled a tantrum again. His mother asked him about the reason for such behavior.

"I need to reach Hamza!"

"Hamza?"

"HAMZA!"

"Ok! Ok but in this condition. He lives in Lahore how will you go there and-"

"I don't know but I'm going." He said standing up, he walked to the cupboard, picked some clothes, emptied his college bag and started stuffing them in.

"Zain, calm down. Can you at least tell me why are you going there. Is something wrong?"

"Mom. I saw a dream. I saw a very scary dream and if that dream became real then I wouldn't be able to live. Believe me."

"Dream? What is it?"

"I saw him dead. He died." He said walking to the door.

"What? Are you kidding me. You know there's a myth that if you see someone death in your dream he will live a long life." Her mother chuckled.

He looked her back with tears in his eyes.

"But that's not the case with me mom sorry." He said and walked out.

She looked him all the way out.

"Seriously? He scared me for a moment. It's just a mere dream. Well I wouldn't stop him. I guess he miss his friend."

That night Zain went to the bus station, booked a seat for Lahore. Minute after sitting in the bus he pulled his phone out and called Hamza.

"Hye!! Dude!!"

"Hamza" he said Bemoaning," I'm coming to Lahore. I... I'm.. coming to meet... You."

"Oh really!!! Most welcome!! I'll send you the address. Why are you crying?"

And Zain hung up. He then shed into tears and cried like a baby. Everyone was staring him including the bus conductor.

What should I do? What should I do!

The next day Talha seemed worried. Harim stepped behind him and poked his back slightly with her finger. He looked back.

"What are you thinking?" She smiled and took a seat Infront of his.

"Harim. Zain is absent again today."

"Why not call him?"

"I did but his mother picked the phone last night."

"What did she say?"

"She said that he was in the bathroom."

"Oh really. don't worry he'll be fine."

"Yeah I hope so."

It was break time. Talha was buying lunch. He was about to go when Anum blocked his way.

"For whom is this for?" She inquired pointing at the pair of rolls and juice.

Talha looked at them.

"I'm hungry." He was about to walk and was stopped by her again.
