Since my childhood, I see dreams.
Dreams that are premonitions.
Premonitions about people I know.
I was five when I first had a dream about my mother's death.
And the next day, she died the exact same way.
Since then, people call me Jinxed...

Ohm and I sat on a bench when many of the fireflies were illuminating the surroundings. It was so serene that I felt happy.
I smiled looking ahead. Then I felt someone looking at me. So I turned to Ohm who was gazing at me with different sort of eyes. His face was fierce but his eyes were tender.
"Sorry." I mumbled. "I brought you to talk and then I went all silent." I smiled and looked down on my shoes. I am feeling giddy.
"I am fine with the waiting." He said with brief smile. "I have been waiting to be able to talk to you for an eternity."
"Huh?" I turned to him confused. "What do you mean?"
He smiled and looked ahead. "There are so many things that I want to tell you. As I am recalling things, I am able to join the dots. But before that, I want to tell you something even more important."
I sighed. "You are always the one who is able to speak your heart out. While I always sit back or... faint?" I chuckled feeling guilty.
He chuckled along and leaned closer taking a deep breath. "I wasn't even able to form words before. So it's nice to be able to tell you how I feel."
I swallowed a lump from my throat feeling weirdly nice as well as shy at the same time. "You mean you liked me from the start?" I asked.
"No. I loved you from the time I saw you." He said. "What I feel is not as small as to be considered just liking."
"Ohm..." It just came out as a whisper.
"Neak." He said with a smile and turned to me. His eyes had this strange glimmer in it.
Neak!
Neak?
I started hearing strange voices in my head. "What was that?" I asked.
"What?"
"Ummm what was it that you just said?"
"Forget it. First tell me what you wanted to say. As you said, I always speak my heart out. So today I want to hear you out." He turned to me with full attention.
I shifted in my seat getting nervous. "You know how strange we both are individually..." I said.
"What?" He asked me almost on the verge of laughing.
"No. What I mean is not that. But what I want to say is..." I turned to him a bit nervously.
I think he already knows what I want to say because he is looking at me so affectionately that I feel like I will melt right now.
I clenched my fist once to stop it from trembling before raising my palm slowly and holding his cheek.
His smile faded and he straightened up looking at me without blinking.
