SOMEONE I KNOW

Sana's POV

Sana:

Present:14

A beautiful sunflower farm stretched in front of my eyes.I was standing there all alone.Suddenly someone taps on my shoulders and I turn in response.Ahmed!He smiled a smile worth a million bucks but his reaction changed at once.He took hold of my hand and started running pulling me along.We ran as if something terrible is after us.We ran for miles..Then suddenly he was missing by my side.Am on my own again.But now in a maze.I felt so afraid.So I started running to find a way,some way out of it.But as soon as I found some light,it was a hospital and I saw myself standing there.A doctor was talking to some lady.I couldn't see her face.She was crying and a man is consoling her,but himself at the verge of tears.Zahra was standing beside me shaking me violently.But am hard as a statue.No movement..Not even a blink.Then I saw someone lying lifeless on the hospital bed.Arshad!No..No..This cant be Happening!

"Nooo!" I screamed and woke up drenched in sweat.What a horrible nightmare!

My night dress was sticking to my body due to excessive sweating and my breathing was uncontrollable.I sat there,on my bed,closing my eyes and holding my head in my hands,trying to make some sense out of it.But even recalling that sight made me tremble in fear.

I checked my phone.Its 3:20 am.There is still so much time for morning,but am wide awake.I know I cant get myself to sleep again.So I got out of bed and went outside after washing my face.

The house was dimly lit and hauntingly silent.I went to the balcony and saw someone already standing there with his back to me.I know who it was.I went and stood beside him.

"Ah!What the..!You scared the hell out of me!" He jumped in shock.

"I know.And am sorry,I didn't mean to do that." I said calmly.

"Hmmm...Its okay.And why are you not sleeping?!" He asked now turning to my side.

"I had a nightmare.I cant get back to sleep after that." I said and looked up at him.His face was partially visible in that darkness but I noticed the kind eyes looking at me.

"And what about you?Why are you not sleeping?" I asked.

He just looked away and stood there without replying anything.

"Sana..I want to tell you something.I know I have hurt you in so many ways ever since we met.But am really sorry for all of that.Will you forgive me?" He asked after about 15 seconds.

"Ofcourse!Thats why we are friends now.Even I have done the same to you.Am sorry too.." I said with a smile.

"How do you feel about me leaving the house?Relieved?!" He laughed.

"Hmmm..If you want me to say yes,then I will." I said narrowing my eyes.He just laughed even more.

"No..I just wanted to know.Leave it." He said.

"I already told you Ahmed.I will miss you.You are the only person who can relate to what I feel because..You know how it feels.So definitely am going to miss my crying shoulder." I said with a little laugh and his face turned serious.He was about to say something but kept silent.

"What was that?Tell me." I said.

"What?" He asked as if he couldn't understand.

"Don't pretend with me Ahmed.I know you.You were about to say something but finally decided against it.I want to know what it is." I said it like an order.

"Ermmm..Its nothing.Just..Forget it." He smiled.

"No.I wont.If you don't tell me,then am not talking to you after this." I said crossing my hands.
