Destiny calls

1

It was a cold night. The wind was blowing hard. I was walking in a street which was as dark as the inside of a cave. I was clutching my overcoat so hard that my fingers went numb. It was unusual for that place to be so dark but it was. I wasn't even able to see my hand in front of me. So I kept on walking through the outlines I could make out. Suddenly I heard some footsteps. I got scared and went near a wall to hide myself trying to find who it was. Slowly the foot steps subsided as that person took a turn. I started hurrying home. On the way when I was taking a turn I crashed into a man. I fell down. I hastily got up and trying not to get panicked I asked," I am sorry  , but if I may ask, who are you?" But he gave me a rather cold reply. He said that he was in a hurry and needed to get going. He excused himself and went away. Well, he was rather strange. I slowly moved toward my home and finally reached there.I quickly finished my work and went under the covers of my blanket and slept.

In my dream the same thing that happened to me that day happened. One thing that was different was that curiosity got the edge of me and I started following that man. He was was walking pretty fast and surely looked like he was in a hurry. He suddenly took a turn. I followed him but then he vanished. He vanished into thin air and I kept staring into the blank road ahead of me. Disappointed for not finding about him I got ready to go home when a hand caught me and pulled me towards the wall. I struggled to get out of the grasp but that grasp was too strong.Two hand held me tight. I tried to get out from there but I couldn't , I kicked that person, pushed that person but it stood there still like a statue without a sound frozen on it's ground. I suddenly felt as if I was falling into a pit and that also a bottomless one. It grew darker as I fell. I nearly collapsed but then I concentrated on some thing making my mind focused such that I didn't collapse.When I opened my eyes I was in a bright room instead of the dark street and be-beep , be-beep,... 

I rubbed my eyes and closed my alarm clock. I was both happy and sad to be awoken from that dream. It was a scary one but I wanted it to continue. I slowly got up did my usual work and went for college.After a long and weary day I was returning home when I saw a man waiting for someone. When I was about to pass him he asked,"Excuse me! Are you the same person with whom I struck yesterday Evening?"

I didn't know if he was asking that to everyone but I replied,"Well, I don't know you could have struck with anybody although I did crash into a man yesterday evening."

"If it was you then I think I didn't introduce myself to you as I was in a hurry."

"In that case it could have been me"

He then muttered something. I couldn't get it so I asked," Sorry, but did you just say something?"

"Oh! No, no no nothing at all."

"Oook, then were you just searching for me , um.. just because you didn't introduce yourself ?"

"Well..yes...yes, you can say that."

"Then would you mind doing that fast because I have to go home."

"I didn't realize that. I am very sorry to have kept you waiting. I am Den Ra Ven Carstairs. Nice to meet you miss."

Hmm that name sounded familiar. Where had I heard that name? Oh! Of course he was the owner of Missix, Mr. Den Ra Ven Carstairs popularly known as Mr. Dave.I didn't had enough time  to process all the things that just happened and replied,"Ah! Welll.. good morning oh! I mean good afternoon Mr. Den Ra Ven Carstairs. Nice to meet you." I was able to squeak out. I was so bad with introductions. "I am sorry but I guess I will have to go home now."

" You look surprised miss. Now , what's the rush. Looks like you have forgotten your introduction. If I have to search for you somewhere how would I find you?"

I was so stupid. I had disrespected him. It was so stupid of me." Um.. my name  is Shimmer Lightwood Mr.Den Ra Ven Carstairs"

He chuckled and said,"You need not call me from that name, it's way too formal and long as well. I myself am surprised you could remember that. You can call me Dave. "

" Oh! Of course not , you are such a respectable man, the owner of Missix and I here am just a normal college girl. "

" Um hm you are correct about me being a respectable man being the owner of Missix of course that is in the eye of people like you. But you are wrong about one thing, I am not the owner. Well I do have my motto that if you respect others you get respected back unless they are just rude. "

Well that was quite the unexpected turn of events. If he was not the owner then what was he? Maybe he saw the shock in my face so he said that he was the vice-president. Well I had some questions but looking at the time, GOD! I was getting late for my game. 

But.. why was a man of such caliber doing here anyway?
