The Curse

                   The Curse
Part -2

A warm touch sent tingles across my skin. It felt nice, the warmth soon spread through my body, I could feel some warm air against my cheek and then it moved up to my ear. I think somebody was calling my name, softly, laced with care, concern and so much warmth. But suddenly it was lost and strangely my entire body was aching. My eyes opened expecting to see the calm- blue and yellow walls of my room, but instead I was met with a very different sight and an unfamiliar but wonderful scent.

My eyes frantically moved around, I wasn't at my house, this wasn't my room. I was trying to figure out what was happening when the whole chase and run flashed in front of my eyes and my eyes fluttered open. The room was simple but elegantly gorgeous. To my utter surprise, parts of the room- bedroom to be precise, were done in pitch black tone, but the other colours splashing in the fabrics and simple shades of white accentuated the whole look, making it look fresh irrespective of black colour. It was the first time I was seeing black colour in the bedroom, for that matter any room, but I could not deny that it looked just perfect. The room screamed of richness, as the subtle light streaming through the sheer curtains brought an amazing glow to the room. Her eyes then landed on the source of the scent, her side table had a beautiful crystal vase again black, with beautifully set lilies and lilac flowers. The room had a soothing touch to it, maybe that was what helped me to stay calm and relax even after everything that had happened. Or maybe the fact that I was finally in a house, not so important whose house right now; but at least safe and alive!!

Sameer- "Heyy...Shukar hai tumhe hosh aa gaya. How are you feeling now?

The voice made me snap my neck and I found my hand in Sameer's hold. That's when I remembered how thankful I was that I had finally seen him;

Umeed- "Sameer! Hi... Main... Main theek hu ab---- I guess".

He helped me up as I was trying to sit when another voice was heard from behind clearing his throat and Sameer let go of me to look behind just like me to find out who it was? And again I was met with his eyes, and he looked visibly angry, though I wondered why? I looked around once again for any reasons that he was angry about, I mean first of all if this was Sameer's house why was he even here!? But then I noticed how I was tucked in a warm fluffy blanket with my hands and clothes still covered in mud making me cringe. I was spoiling the almost spotless white comforters and bed sheets;

Umeed- "Oh my---- Sameer I am so sorry... tumhe mujhe yaha nahi lana chahiye tha. Dekho sab bed sheet gandi ho gayi meri vajah se. I should just--- tch----

I slowly pulled the comforter away feeling extremely guilty and embarrassed, but as my feet touched the ground a groan escaped my lips, and I realized that my body was still aching, especially my legs. And next minute I saw stupid Farjaad standing right in front of me;

Farjaad- "Stay!!

He snapped almost making me flinch, and obey him involuntarily. The look on his face read it wasn't a time to mess with him. But wait a minute... He wasn't my boss here;

Umeed- "Aapko gussa dikhane ke alawa kuch aata bhi hai? Vaise main apko yaad dila du ye office nahi hai, aur na yaha aap mere boss hain toh is liye please mujhe aise ghurna band karein"

Farjaad- "Are you out of your 'good for nothing'mind!! Who in their right mind would walk out in the trees all alone, vo bhi aise odd time pe?

The guy had a point, but what the hell I know that there was a wolf sitting there awaiting me!? Itne saalon mein toh kabhi yaha koi jungli kutta bhi nahi dekha hai kisine, poora ka poora bhediya mil jayega ye thodi socha tha maine.

Umeed was busy murmuring to herself and cursing him while all he did was glare at her waiting for her answer. So breaking the tension Sameer asked her politely;
