I started the day like any other day, other than the fact that I slept way less than usual. Did my chores, studied for a while and before I knew it , it was 4 pm time for me to start getting ready for my classes which were at 5.
I took a bath read my prayers and was on my way to my classes yet even still that dream haunted me, haunted ain't the right word to use here cause I would have have much rather stayed in that dream than face reality yet all these thoughts vanished when I saw in her in the crowd on her way to the class. She was shining like a diamond in the charcoal and for a split second everything around me vanished and all i saw was her, I realised it was better that I woke up from that dream or I would have missed the real deal.
I decided to walk behind her hoping she would just magically know that I was right behind her but this wasn't a fairy tail, it was life she didn't turn around for a while. Not being able to wait any longer I decided to call her rather than shouting , cause this was the more civilised way to get her attention, she saw my name pop up on her phone and turned around immediately realising that I was right behind her, and gave me the cutest and brightest smile ever. Normal me would have gotten butterflies by now but something weird happened, it was not just déjà vu , I felt that I'd been here before and then something weird happened an image of Aliya overlapped the Aliya I saw in front of my eyes, suddenly the Aliya I saw had her hairs open was wearing a sweatshirt and a loose fit pant, wore specs and was giving me the same bright shine. Might seem like a lot but it happened in a second and I was back to reality, we talked on the remaining way to our class and even still I just thought it were my hormones playing tricks on me. On our way back we usually talk about things we had mutual interests in and for this instance it was Football. And me being me decided to tease her as much as I could, "do you even know what offside is ?" I asked knowing damn well she knew what it was. "No" she replied "would you please mind telling me what it is Zaid ?" I was is in disbelief, I couldn't understand if she was being sarcastic or if she genuinely didn't knew what offside was . I decided to explain offside to the best of my abilities regardless and i did. Since my sister wasn't with us I decided to walk her to her house, we bought ice creams and were talking and laughing together.My gut feelings had always been spot on and I relied on my instincts a lot yet what happened here was different. Up until this point I had thought that the dream was nothing and what I on my way to classes was just my brain playing tricks on me yet when I was about to bid her goodbye I had a "vision", that's the best I can describe it . I had this image and feeling in my head that something was about to fall on Aliya that would leave her in a critical situation, I pulled Aliya as hard as I could and it did happen, a piece of solid concrete fell from the top and if that would have fallen on Aliya I don't know what it would have done to her. As I held her close to me I could feel her violently shaking, this is something that Aliya had dealt with for as long as could remember, atleast that's what she told me. I stayed still for a moment to help her calm down and after she did, she decided to straightly go home and I couldn't blame her she almost lost her life it was understandable, and right now her leaving was not what I was concerned about, the question in my head was how did I manage to foresee that piece of concrete falling, it was almost like I saw a glimpse of the future , I couldn't come up with another theory cause even I had seen that concrete I wouldn't have been able to react fast enough, what was going on ? What was happening to me ? And what was the cause of this pain I was experiencing in my head, I felt like my brain was about to explode like it did processed information that was too much for it handle. Bearing all this pain I managed to reach my home and fell asleep on the spot.
I woke up to a call from Aliya apologising for leaving me like that and in such a hurry, "I can't even being to imagine to fear you must have felt Aliya it is fine that you left abruptly. I can't complain about anything as long as you're fine" I replied trying to calm her down did it work ? I don't know we talked for a bit longer before she said she was going to sleep i bid her goodnight and she hung up. As I no longer heard her voice I realised that the headache had gotten better to an extent but it was still there. I tried to gather my thoughts to figure out what was going on, I dug deeper into my thoughts, deeper into the vision I recalled everything I could and that's when I realised that the vision was not accurate, it wasn't exactly the future it was similar yet different the Aliya in that vision was the same as the image of Aliya I saw on my way to classes. I saw that vision for a mere second yet I remembered every detail I found this weird but it was the least of my concern. I grabbed my notebook and tried to write about my dream yet I couldn't, it was like an unknown force was stopping me from writing in down, I tried still yet the words won't pop up in my head, if they did my hands won't move everything made no sense yet my headache got worse but I was determined to figure this out, figure out what was going on, I forced myself to write down and my headache worsened when suddenly It felt like reality glitched, like it did in old TVS I felt cuts in reality and suddenly every word I had written was gone, and the pen in my hand was had no ink in it. Everything made no sense, I was scared I was panicking when I noticed my nose was bleeding. I walked to my washroom to wash the blood.
When I looked into to the mirror I saw a person, who looked familiar yet different it was weird yes, I would have freaked out but with everything I had witnessed I no longer had the energy to be surprised. I noticed the resemblance between me and him and I read his lips as they said "do not go against the force, it's a nature of reality it will only bring you harm. You can have her, you can save her don't make the mistakes I did-" suddenly the man vanished and it was just me I didn't know what to make of it when suddenly everything felt distorted, I felt like my brain gave out I was dizzy, this headache was killing me yet somehow I made my way to my room and fell asleep .
And the next day I woke up, again at 8 am the headache was gone. I saw the pen beside me it had ink again everything was back to normal except the fact I remembered everything I had experienced yesterday and I didn't know what to make of it .
I was back to square one , what was going on? Why was it happening to me, what did that man in the mirror meant ? All I figured out was everything revolved around Aliya , everything that was going on, Aliya was a major part of it.
