Loving The Liar

Chapter 11

"Erica Andrews here." I heard a girl answer from the other side.

When I was trying to recall the number I'd dialed in my dream and wrote it down on the notepad, I didn't gave it a second thought that what I'd do if I got a chance to call on that number. There was a doubt in my mind that was that dream even sensible or reliable enough for me to try calling. But still, I did and to much utter surprise, someone received my call and addressed herself as Erica Andrews. The voice matched the one I'd heard in my dream which dumbstruck me.

I never knew that I spaced out until I heard her voice again asking something.

"Hello? Who are you?" Her voice had a touch of professionalism that the interns would have.

"I'm.." I hesitated.

"Aadhya mam?" Erica mumbled in low voice.

"How did you know that it was me?" I instantly asked

"I've been hearing the same voice for last two years. But, mam where have you been for a week. I have been trying to contact you from last six days." Erica informed me.

But I didn't know what to say. It felt like this was a stupidest decision of mine. How will I explain all things to her? And the first point was, why did I called her.

You called her to know that if the dreams you see are true or not, to cross check them. And surprise surprise, Erica Andrews exists.

"Trace this number and come meet me, by ten at night on the terrace of any place I am, I'll be waiting for you." I quickly conveyed and hanged up.

It was true then, I thought, gripping my new phone tightly. Erica was a real person and none of my imagination. But then how could it help me. I didn't even know my way out of here and I was sure that Veer won't let me out.

Veer. I didn't even had a slightest idea of why he is trying to cover up everything. I was anyways so close to find out what I'd determined to, my true identity.

Had anyone ever in their life, thought how would they feel if one day they wake up and can't remember who they were? They didn't know anything about themselves and then, they were captivated by a handsome jerk, to who they're insanely attracted to, calling them his fiancée? And as icing over the top, they start seeing their past life in their dreams?

Well, all those things were happening with me.

After killing some time using internet, gathering some more knowledge about what was happening in the world, I pushed the phone aside. It was a good thing that I didn't forget how to use a mobile phone, otherwise I would've been done for.

Then my eyes went to the wall clock. Eleven am, it showed. Eleven more hours and then, I'll be knowing a lot more of important things that I've forgotten.

Just then, an idea crossed my mind. I picked up the phone laying besides and googled 'Veer Mehrotra'. Tapping the search icon, I was waiting for something to load on the screen. In few seconds, the screen was filled with number of interview articles, magazines front cover images. I was shocked to see that there was a page on Wikipedia of his name.

But then, at least I got know that he wasn't lying about himself to me.

I went through the different sites which told all different stories about his successes, but there was nothing much about his personal life. He was a slick and smart businessman, I concluded. His name was in the top of the list 'India's most eligible bachelors' and was known to be the youngest successful businessman. That means he had power, with which he has kept me aloof, isolated. I pushed my phone away and forced myself back on the bed staring the high pale white ceiling.
