For You ( Riansh ff)

Chapter 4

Riddima

In my dreams, I was a ghost, maybe a silhouette. I floated in air. I passed through objects, like they were water or maybe air.

I looked around, the place was dark, I could figure out that it was a deck of a ship, broken walls made of wood.

A thin ray of light broke open the wooden roof. A shimmering white light appeared and slowly turned into a body, it enclosed the distance, I finally got a look of her face, it was me, my reflection, she wore a white satin gown till her knees.

'Let me show you'

It spoke to me without moving its lips, speaking through mind.

She floated in the other direction. I followed her.

'Here' she said pointing to a more darker place. She floated towards the direction.

I followed her, I floated towards the other side of the deck.

'Stop' she spoke and dissolved into thin air and I stood there helpless.

I was looking forward to not see this.

Hard wood floor creaked a little, I turned around to where the sound came from. A body immerged through the dark, a male figure approached me. No, not me, someone else.

It surpassed me, leaving me confused.

He can't see me!? How?!

I was surprised by that, I turned around to where the person was going.

"See? That is me!" it spoke with a wide grin on his face, praising himself, he wiped his lower lip with his thumb.

A evil laugh filled the room, "I know, you win" the figure I did not notice a while before said, a male. Two males together, I am suspicious, the way they talked, something is suspicious.

"Is she still ok, Alive?" the second voice I asked, I shot him a look, what is he saying?

The first male turned back, "Yeah, doesn't matters anyways, I am done with it, leave this girl here, he might come searching for her. Our plan is done here." I glared at him, I floated towards where the first guy was looking at.

This! No!!!!

Terror filled my eyes, my own self, I was bruised, my lips had bled so far and turned dry.

I was scared, my clothes were in tatters, 'no, I can not see this'. Tears filled my eyes, my eyes were filling in and flowing out.

"Bloody bastards!" I shouted and that left no effect, my voice did not reach to them, they could not hear me.

Slowly, they moved out, I glanced back at the tied body of me, in front of me, layed motionless.

I looked at them, they had left. I cried "You bastards! Morons! You-" I stopped, still crying.

I woke up in an instant then, sweating the river out. I clutched the thing right next to me real tight, I did not know what I held on, but I felt secure.

I was terrified, I saw something, I never wanted to see. The thought send chills down my spine. I was visibly shuddering, that, it sent shivers down my whole body, drops of tears escaped my eyes, my body captivated in beads of sweat.

Even before I knew it, realisation dawned through me, I was holding onto him, like him. My heart started beating faster, my breath went uneven, my heart pumped through my chest wildly.

What the- how did I- leave it, that will be no good now.

I let go of him and I swear, I was embarrassed, very well, I am dead. My blood rushed up to my cheeks and I was not ready to meet his eyes, no, not after what I did.

"Um... G-go back t-to sleep now" I heard him, he said in an assuring tone, more like telling himself. I nodded at his words and slept back.

After the dream, this was the peaceful sleep I got then.

Morning sun rays hit the room, it burned my skin. I realized that it has been a while or so, after I had seemingly opened the curtains and went out at least for a walk.

He was not there, good, I am glad that I would not have to face him, it is still embarrassing.

I freshened up, I do not like it, I hate it, I want to go back to where I was, an orphan on schooling, everything would have been much better.

I walked out wearing a simple light pink suit just to see a smiling Sia, she brought her wheelchair in front of me.

Her warming smile was enough to bring me a smile.

A smile crept on my face seeing her.

"Good morning Sister-in-law, how have you been lately? You never come out of your room, not even to meet me" she pouted, "I am sorry, I was not myself before, anyways, how is your leg lately?" I asked.

She vandalised "Oh my gods! So many questions at a time!" my eyebrows cruised at that, "Ok fine, it was just one, sorry, it is good to answer your question," she read and continued " I brought something" she pulled the tray of food out and brought it in front of me.

A plate of freshly made breakfast, hmm, I did not want to have breakfast but, I did not want her to feel bad, so I excepted the tray of food and she walked out once she saw me eating.

On her way, she warned me to have my medicines on time and yeah, I had it.

"Did you find out?" I said grimly to Angre and he shook his head in a no, "Nothing yet, boss, but I will try to find it as soon as possible, assure you" Angre said reassuring me.

I was still serious about it, I want to find out who did that to Riddima. I will personally get them to hell for what they had done.

"Find it out soon, Angre, I want to know, it is a very vulnerable case to me, deal with it properly, got that?" I said with pure agony.

"I will, boss, I will do anything I can to find out" Angre said really determined.

I realised it, "Angre, one more thing, arrange a doctor, I need a check up" I said.

"What happened boss? Are you ok?" he asked concerned, "No, not much serious, don't be stressed, just do as I say and don't tell the others, just a secret, ok?" I said and he nodded.

I do not want to let the disease grow anymore and I don't want the others to know, they will be stressed. I do not know what this disease is, but I want to end it right here.
