".....trust me his face was worth to see at that moment.Everyone was laughing so ......"Vihaan paused when he noticed that Saanjh was totally zonned out,staring in a distance .

"Hey,Are you listening to me?"he asked,giving a nudge on her arm that brought her out of her trance.

"Sorry,I couldn't listen to you.What were you saying?"She said apologetically.

"First tell me,What are you thinking about so deeply?"He questioned back.

She shook her head"Nothing."

"Saanjh,You've been zoning out all the day long.There has to be something.Tell me what's the problem?"He demanded.

"Vihaan...."she paused ,seemed like trying to decide whether to tell him or not.

He kept staring at her face, patiently waiting for her to continue.

"Do you believe in ghost?"she finally asked him.

"Ghost?"he furrowed.

"Have you ever experienced paranormal stuffs like someone calling your name when no one was there? ,Or,seeing a face or figure in a dark shadow?"She questioned.

"No,I've never experienced such things. "He shook his head.

"Oh!Okay."she muttered,dejectedly.

"Why are you asking such questions all of a sudden?"He questioned,raising his eyebrow .

"Uh..A-Actually...last night I'd seen a horror movie.So,I was just wondering whether ghost really exist or It's a just make up story."She answered that was partly true.

She didn't watch any horror movie.The reason was something else behind asking those question.

"Oh,I see!" He acknowledged.

"Now tell me,do you believe in ghost?"

"No,I don't believe.Because there is no such thing exist in this world."He stated.

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because there is no scientific proof for the existence of supernatural phenomena such as ghosts or spirits."he explained.

"Saanjh,I suggest you don't watch such movies .See, it's affecting you."He advised.

"Okay,I won't."She nodded, smiling at him.

She has so many things going on in her mind and she want to share it with him but don't know how to say aloud.She is afraid that he wouldn't understand her.Infact no one could understand what she is facing these days .

Another day......

Vihaan and Saanjh are sitting together in the lawn of Oberoi mension.Vihaan is showing her the pictures of their college days from his laptop.

"....and this one was taken when I had won a music competition with my band in second year of our college."Vihaan said when a photo popped up on the screen.

On that picture they, both were standing on a stage along with three other boys.All of them were smiling brightly into the camera.Saanjh was standing beside Vihaan, and grinning widely,holding the trophy with both her hands .

"When I had won the competition ,you were happy more than me.You were jumping in joy the whole time."He added as his face beamed with delight, remembering the old days.

By judging her expression on the picture,Saanjh could also see that she was indeed very happy on that day.

She looked at him and beamed a smile ,then shifted her gaze back to the picture and continued admiring it .

While observing the photo she noticed a man's hand wrapped around Vihaan's shoulder.But she couldn't see the person face as he was standing at the corner and unfortunately his body was cropped from the picture.

"It seems there was someone next to you.Who was he?"she asked curiously, pointing her finger at the picture.

At her question,his face abruptly became pale and dry.

"One of our friends,I guess.I don't remember exactly."He replied cutly.

"Oh."She muttered.

"Let's move to the next one."He said instant and swipped the picture .For some reason he didn't want her to continue seeing that picture and wondering her mind on it.

Then he continued making her see the pictures of their college days .But throughout the time he was worried about something that she missed to notice.

********

"Vihaan,I want to ask you something."Saanjh was hesitating as she wasn't sure whether she should ask him or not .

Asking him might be a stupid idea but if she doesn't ask she won't feel peace.A question is bothering her a lot and only he can give her answer and clear her doubts .

"Yes,go ahead."Vihaan nodded eagerly.

"When we met with an accident on that day,was there someone with us or present in the spot?"

"What do you mean by that?"He furrowed.

"I mean when the accident happened,did anyone die ?"

"Of course not."He replied and She breathed in relief.

She felt like a huge burden get off her chest.

"But why did you ask this question? What's the matter?"He demanded and she realised that she owe an explanation now.

"Actually,Vihaan...From the past few days I..I'm getting flashes of our accident."she confessed.

"What did you see?"He asked, getting serious.

"The long narrow road,car crash and a person."

"A person?"he furrowed."Whom did you see?"He questioned, curious.

"I don't know.I couldn't identify the person as the images were so blurry."She replied and he heaved a sigh .

"But it was a person who has blue eyes."she included and hearing that Vihaan's face lost it's color .

"Vihaan,did we used to know someone in past who has blue eyes?"She questioned,looking at him curiously .

He averted his gaze from her and shook his head"No."

"Are you sure?"She asked to reconfirm.

"Saanjh,On that day,our car got hit by a truck from behind .As a result we both got hurt and you ended up in coma.That's all.Nothing else happened there.There was no one expect us present there."He said flatly.

"Oh!"She got disappointed.

She was disappointed as she'd thought she would get some information from Vihaan about their accident which might help her to know the meaning of her dreams or might help her to understand as to why she was coming eerie situations.But sadly she got nothing which could help her to solve the puzzle.

Vihaan noticed her sad face and came closer to her .

He took her hands in his and gently squeeze as he spoke "Saanjh,You please stop thinking of these things.There's no point thinking about the past which only give you pain and sorrow.What happens in the past,forget about it and just focus on your future."

For a brief moment She closed her eyes and took a deep breath,then looked up and smiled at him with a nod.
