The Compromise I Don't Regret

chapter 9. THE CRAZY FRIEND

Sameera's pov

I am running really fast but he was right behind me. He's got a stiletto in his hand. That scary look on his face is weakening me by itself. "where do you think you are running" he shouted. "help.... please someone" I screamed out loud but no one came out. I was cornered by the three walls and the man that stood in front had a determined look on his face and he is not gonna spare me. "please....just...please" I pleaded but he laughed it off and continued laughing. His laughed echoed through the empty halls and my mind and I sprang up to find myself on my bed. It was just another dream. my face was wet and my hands were sweating as well. This is one of the worst i have had till now. Im finding it hard to breath. Just thenbi saw something moving beside the curtain, although ive learned from experience that its just the after effect of the nightmare , i literally felt horrified. I think I should call Amaan. I somehow managed to dial In his number and called him but he is not picking up. He might probably be sleeping now. I got out of my bed and sat on the floor near the edge of the bed attached to the wall where I crawled up into a ball, tears were rolling down my cheeks as always " Sameera?" Amaan's voice called out as he rushed inside and kneeled down in front of me. "are you alright?" he asked me but I couldn't answer.. the dream..it is still stuck in my mind. I feel like gourav is in my room though I know it's not possible. " i...I" I blurted out. "come on" he said as he helped me up. I sat on my bed as he handed me a glass of water from the sidetable. I laid down on my bed as he asked to, while he sat next to me. "just try to sleep. Do you need someone to sleep with you I can call thamanna or Aisha" he offered but I declined it. "okay so I'll be right here. Just sleep" he said as he sat down on the couch. I nodded and closed my eyes. I don't want to be so weak and dependent but these night mares I just can't help it, I just hope I don't see any more of it.

The sunlight is hitting directly on my face indicating I can't sleep any more. I managed to open my eyes and straightened up a little bit but my eyes fell on the figure lying on the couch and then the last night events came flashing through my mind..... The night mare....calling Amaan.....and him sleeping on the couch. It is a small couch so it might have been difficult for him to sleep on it. I got up from bed and decided to wake him up because it's already 7:30 and we are leaving today. "Amaan...wake up.......amaan?" I called out and he quickly got up "what happened?" he asked. "its 7:30 and we are leaving today so go get ready" I told him. "thank you for yesterday" I told him as he turned to leave but he didn't reply and I was not offended by it. After he left I freshned up, packed my thing and went down and Amaan was also going down at the same time. Both of us joined the rest at the dining table and all of them were laughing at something that sameer bhayya was telling. " whats so funny?" Amaan asked. " sameer bhai was telling us about yesterday. How he spoke to the cops" anas said and my eyes widened he told everyone about it? And whats so funny about it. "what did you tell him that he readily agreed bhayya?" Amaan asked, curiosity dripping from his voice. " well I just told that you guys are married, and you did show the photo right? And mein thoh bas ithna kaha ki ' sir bichari bachpan se paagal hai aur uska pathi rath ko hi usko gumane le chaltha hai thaki woh logom par hamla na kare' and that did the job, they somehow got easily convinced that she is mad" sameer bhayya said and everyone laughed again including Amaan. " seriously?? How stupid is that? I should have known from the fact that you were speaking to them and that explains their weird behavior after your phone call" I said while throwing a spoon at him but he skillfully caught it. " they are fools to believe such a stupid story" I commented again. "They might be but yesterday your face did look like a truck ran over you, can't blame them" samar bhai said and I just looked down so that they wouldn't make out anything from my face. From the corner of my eyes I could see Amaan looking at me. " so when are we leaving guys" Amaan asked probably to change the topic. "Dadi said we should reach there before lunch"aliya di said. "Sameera, badi maa called, she said that some karan had called saying he can't reach you. Just call him as soon as possible." Aisha di informed and I nodded. I decided to leave for my room because I didn't feel like eating so I stood up to leave. "guys why don't we all sit together and have a proper breakfast. Eat something" Amaan suggested and everyone readily agreed. Way to go Amaan. Now I would have to eat even when i dont fell like. all thanks to Amaan. He always ruin my plans, and now I have to live with him for the rest of my life?. I better think of something. I stared at the devils face who had a huge smirk plastered on his face which used to irk me very much. But now I don't feel much irritated by him maybe its because I owe him or maybe because him behavior have changed or it might be something else
