"Avora! I want to talk to you."
"Speak up, Shyera!", I said, lost in thoughts over my dream. I tried to forget my tensions to listen to hers.
"Amyra...umm....Esther says Amyra had broken our laptop. She had come when neither Esther nor me were home and mom told her about it. Mom told her that Amyra went to my room to wait for me and when she left, mom found out that the laptop was lying broken on the floor. She also says that...that they might have heard our plan at the cafeteria, because Esther had come near the cafe for groceries and had seen Garry there around the same time when we were there."
"What!?"
"Yeah."
"We will have to think about it now. We. should make our next plan at...Ash's house because his room has all sound absorbant material." That increased my tensions further.
"Let us meet after college and go to Ashton's house then. I will sms Irwin and Ash about this."
I decided not to tell her about my dreams at that point.
As decided, we met at Ashton's house, and covered everything that wasn't such, with sound absorbing materials. We then changed our order a little. Instead of me and Tany, me and Ashton would leave after Shyera and Irwin. Tanyra would come later with some excuse, and we would leave Esther and Evina with Garry to ensure that he can do nothing.
(That will also be a good punishment for Evina's prank, though Shyera's revenge was enough. I also wonder why this quality of Shyera has disappeared these days.)
We began to plan on an event to meet up and then Irwin volunteered to convince Garry to come. Tanyra offered to bring Amyra along. We decided on the smallest of details. Meanwhile, Esther would getting herself acquainted with Amyra and Garry, and try to bring out some or the other clue.
It actually seemed like a big conspiracy against two innocent people, but more like police investigating two suspects. I had kept the part of Esther a secret till now, from all my friends. I actually thought her to be involved in this, just on our side, secretly.
We finished our meeting at around seven, since Shyera's mother had suggested everyone to be home by eight.(Not a problem for Ash, he was already home.) Shyera and me didn't have a ride, and so did Tanyra, since we came in Irwin's car here, directly after college. We were about to head for the taxi stand when Irwin offered to drop each of us home, as well. First Tanyra, then me and then Shyera.
I had told Shyera to call me when she got home, but she didn't call. Nothing can happen to both of them, right? According to the dream it has to happen when we carry out the plan, that is tomorrow..Oh NO! We have planned our order as I had seen in the dream. I immediately put my phone on group chat and messaged what I had seen in my dream, but the message wasn't getting delivered. I tried to call each one of them, but...how the hell can everyone be busy at the same time!? As soon as I was ready to leave the house, it started pouring so heavily that one couldn't see a thing.
There was something about this whole situation. That Shyera's mom knew this. At night, from eight to eleven and at dawn from four to six, our contact was blocked since the past few days. So, how much ever I try, I would be able to contact any one only after eleven. I couldn't do it right now. But Tanyra can. I decided to tell Tanyra all about my dreams. Maybe Shyera has been doing it since days. Maybe I was the only one who hasn't done that. Stupid me! But I would. From now on.
Shyera has changed a bit. Maybe the entry of Esther and also the dreams has disturbed her quite a bit. But has she changed her behavior only with me? I think so. Or else the others would have asked me about it.
At about twelve, I sent a good thought to all four of them to confirm my conclusions. Their replies told me I'm right. Then I messaged Tanyra about my dream last night, switched off my phone, and went off to sleep.
"Avora....get up! For god's sake wake up! "
It was Shyera. She was crying, probably.
I wasn't able to open my eyes. Something had been tied around them. I was not able to remember how I had reached there.
I just opened my mouth and mumbled,"Shyera......are you there?"
No reply.
