And the story ends..?

Chapter 15

Kriya's POV

The next morning I woke abruptly due to a bad dream. The headache it caused was beyond my tolerance level so I got up from the bed, freshened up and headed straight for a shower. It was still early but I needed a cold shower. I hanged my robe and towel then adjusted the temperature more towards the cool side.

The water dribbled down my body but it was not causing any relief. I was feeling more anxious now. As if on the verge of having a panic attack.

I hurriedly washed myself and got out of it as soon as possible. I was feeling restless and uneasy I didn't know why.

I then changed and made my bed. I picked up my phone, the journal and kept the journal in my bag. We had to check out today from this hotel and move to Nubra valley and from there straight to Pangong lake region.

I almost packed all of my stuff immediately after showering so I thought to call Swayam again. I picked my phone and saw that it was dead. I plugged in the charger and then waited for it to turn on meanwhile I set up the kettle and waited for the water to boil so that I could have my drug...my coffee.

After the water was done I added coffee to it and went to see my phone. It was flooded with text messages 'you have missed a call from Swayam at 12 a.m.' and many more after that. The little relief that my coffee caused to my anxiety was gone again. My hands became cold and started to get dry. I dialled his number and prayed more than ever in my till date life during those unattended rings.

He didn't pick!!!! I was getting more uptight and jittery so I tried to wake up Anjali and Nia.

They got up after I actually pulled them by their ears.

"Owww!!! New way to wish Good morning huh? Change it!!" Anjali said while Nia was still fondling her bright red ear.

"I am not feeling good... I am anxious and all sweaty and cold!!! Woke up with a bad dream then saw a lot of missed calls from Swayam and now he is not even picking... I feel something is not right!!!" I said while trudging across the room.

"That's a lot of information for my sleepy brain right now... Give me a minute" Nia said while getting up from bed.

I was getting more and more agitated... I mean how can you explain this feeling to anyone? I was living with my fear right now!!!! I knew something was wrong due to my intuitions but I wasn't able to confirm it. This feeling was capable of eating me alive. I cannot function, I cannot think straight, I cannot even tell others exactly what was going through that mind of mine yet I  had to stay calm because nothing was in my hand.

I was still pacing the room when Anjali and Nia blocked my way. I saw that they were freshened up and now were ready to actually understand what I was telling them.

"Sit" Anjali ordered pointing towards the bed. I shook my head in a no but it was useless. They both held me by my arms and dragged me all the way till the bed and then pushed me onto it.

"Relaaaaxxx, take deep breaths" Nia said dramatically while moving her hand up and down and breathing deeply.

"Yeah... It's like going through the whole situation twice if it's true whatever you are feeling... So calm down and try to..." Anjali was interrupted by my phone. I literally dived till the table where I kept my phone on charge and saw the name flashing...

'Veer'

I solidified wherever I was standing. Everything went blank and numb. I lost my senses and capability to react. I was already on the verge of getting a panic attack due to stress and this didn't help at all to curb it down. Since I didn't pick for three-four rings, Anjali snatched the phone from me. Her eyes also widened at the name but she picked it up.
