It was night. Same moon smiling humbly in his abode, with his companion of dark night and many stars.
But this night was different, it had it's own fragile touch to Piya's skin, who wasn't able to catch or hold properly.
Her head was heavy, skin was burning and feet were jittery. Taking a dose of medicine, she laid on her bed under the soft warmth of comforter.
Her family was out at Khurana's Party, after lots of persuasion from her side, except for Misha who remained home to look after her younger sister. She was in her own room playing video games, with headphones covering her ears and loud music on, to even let her know anything what was yet to come. She had made sure, that Piya had taken her meds and was sleeping comfortably in her room. She would check up every hour, was her plan, and till then she will immerse herself in music and games. After many days, she had time for herself and she wasn't going to waste it by attending any lavish party.
There was fifteen minutes left before night to reach midnight.
Flashes were haunting Piya, in her deep slumber. It was hazy flashbacks of her past, that would change immediately as fast as, waves of ripples on the surface of once calm lake.
She was close to a speck, to decipher the face that bore icy blue eyes, which always seemed looking into her soul, when her phone ranged, loud in the peaceful weather of silver night.
Without opening her eyes, she reached the night stand to pick up her phone.
" Hello? ", without checking the caller id, she spoke while trying to keep her heavy voice natural.
" Piya? ", it was voice of male, which sounded quite hushed.
" Yes, who is speaking? ", now she checked the time on the wall clock, and the caller id. It spoke unknown.
" It's not necessary right now. You need to run. Your life is in danger. You need to run and go far away, as much you can. ", he was speaking so fast, and Piya tried to catch all as much she can.
Goosebumps graced her skin. Her feet were aching the minutes before, but now if anyone would ask her, she wasn't feeling the any pain below her knees, except them turning cold.
Was the stranger, messing with her? Was it some kind of prank?
She was alone in her room, and Misha's was two rooms away.
" What are you talking about? I swear, if this is some kind of joke, then I will lodge a complain against you mister? ", she warned him, keeping the worry out of her voice.
" For a woman high on drugs of fever and cold, it is easy to kill, by dizziness that follows for the remedy. What do you think you will be saved by an argument like this, if it is true?! ", he paused for a while, knowing that she was hanging on his words without interrupting, he continued, " Their is no harm for Misha, in this situation. It's only you Piya, who needs to be safe. The intruder won't harm your sister, he is there for your life. If you care for your own life, I am giving you an advice to run far away, as much you can. ", and with that he he hang up the call.
What I should do? Should I tell Misha?
" No!! I should not. ", Piya's whole body was paused from the apprehension.
She stood at the window sill trying to have some clarity in her thoughts, for the tornado she felt inside her gut. That's when she saw the shadows lurking in the garden of the Dobriyal house. With her legs shaking and the freeze in her upper body, she starts to wear black shrug and white sneakers despite of no survival plan running in her head, she bails out from the back door on the unplanned pathway where her feet could take her in the frenzy.
