Dreams Of Trikuta

Part 7

Trikuta's POV

We came back and I packed my bags and dressed up to get into the bus. Yes, we are traveling by bus at night, so that we will reach on time for their destination wedding which will be continued for 5 days. It's native place of Raichand's, but they say it's prohibited there to go out at night. I wonder why ?? I took my bag and all my belongings near the Bus and kept them with the luggage which was supposed to be tied up on the top of it.

I sat on one of the window seats, everyone including Raichands sat at their places and that weirdo too, orange juice orange wall one. What did he even mean by that ?? Is he even human ?? I wonder how Mr. Raichand and he are even friends. But it's already stated opposite attracts. The bus started and the cold wind started blowing as I kept the window open. I slept in no time, as I always do.

In dream

I was at the main door of the temple, which temple ?? It looks like an ancient old temple built by some king or land owner, I slowly walked till the door and pushed it. It opened with a sound of 'krr' it seems like the temple was closed for days or months or might be years, I mean see how much dust and leaves are fallen all over the walkway. I walked up the stairs which led us to go inside the temple after we open another door.

I opened it, It was some goddess idol but I can't see it, it's shining and it's blur for me to see anything. ' I saw this dream even before, I think its 4th time now. ' The light was very powerful that, I can't even open my eyes. "You came !! You came !! My child you came again !!" old lady's voice echoed, I looked from where this voice was coming.

She was the same jogan (follower of gods) from the past 3 dream's. "He came for you, he met you !! Your protector has arrived in your life." She said. ' Isn't she said last time 3 years left just 3 years ?? and then 2 years then 1 year and now I met him ?? Who is he ??' "Who is he maii (mother like figure)??" I finally asked her.

"Your protector he will protect you. You both will save us, you will free us." She was talking same line continuously. ' I should go for a checkup. My dreams are seriously something I can't bare now. ' And then suddenly earthquake happened and earth teared up into parts and swallowed me.

I woke up to reality, ' Enough is enough, I will not sleep anymore. ' I turned at my right side where Mithil bro was supposed to be but instead of him Mr. Raichand was there, Mr. Raichand was looking at me. ' Why ?? Did I say something in my dreams ?? Did I shouted ?? Or did I speak anything rubbish again ?? ' "Mr. Raichand ??" I called him. "Yeah sorry.. I was just " He was fumbling ??

"Did I said anything in my dreams ??" I asked him. "No, I mean at first yes. And you can call me Ritvik." He said. "Well okay Ritvik, but What ?? What I said ??" I asked. "You said something like, 'Who is he mai??' " He replied.

' Seriously I thought that I said it in my dreams. ' "The thing I was thinking is who must be mai, I didn't heard that today from anyone?? Wasn't she was there in the marriage ??" He asked. ' Oh so this is why he was blank. Anyone will because these characters are from my dreams. How will you know ??'

"Ohh I too don't know. My dreams are weird. Leave them." I said. "Okay." He replied. "I have one question Ritvik, can I ask you ??" I asked. "Go ahead." He replied. "Why it's prohibited in your native place to go anywhere in night ??" I asked.

"Ohh, that's because there are plenty of horror stories they believe. They believe that, people who go out at night will be caught by any one of the ghosts, vampire or witches, etc. You know that is not true. Because I used to travel alone at night when we used to go there in our childhood like in summer vacation, in diwali vacation, etc." He said.

"So I can travel at night ??" I asked. "Yes." He said while yawning and after sometime he went to sleep. ' Atleast someone is sleeping peacefully. So they were stereotypes ?? How this place will be ?? Will it be beautiful ?? Ofcourse it will be. Afterall it is owned by Raichand's !! ' I continued thinking and looking out of window.

'Wait again same question when and how did Ritvik end up here ?? wasn't bro was sitting here.' I stood up and searched back and forth. ' Aww !! he was sitting with Chitra and sleeping holding her. They look soo cute together !! ' I then looked at Ritvik, 'So this is how he ended up beside me and he was only able to listen to the last line I said.'

' The ride is still long, but I can't sleep because of that dreams. They are soo disturbing in addition because of me everyone will get disturb. ' I don't know how I slept again, but this time I didn't saw any dream I slept peacefully. It's new for me but is good as well as for the people around me.
