Illusions - Part 5

She hadn't noticed how long she had slept.  She opened her eyes slowly and noticed it was already night. It wasn't dark. She was relieved to see everything was normal. The lights were as usual on. She switch off the TV and got up to fetch a glass of water in the kitchen. Her mouth felt dry. 

She smiled as she walked towards the kitchen. The long corridors  looked elegant with bright lights and the red carpets made it look majestic. The kitchen was pitch dark in contrast to other rooms she had come across. It felt strange. She wondered where the housekeepers and butler had gone as they were expected to be in kitchen at this time. She switched on the light and was taken back when she saw the cook cutting the vegetables.   

"My god ! You scared me . I thought no one was there. Why are cutting vegetables in dark ?", she said.  The cook didn't speak. He silently cut the vegetables. She felt weird and walked closer towards the cook. "Are you fine ?", she asked out of concern. He turned towards her. She shivered. His eyes had no pupils. His face was pale like that of dead man. She screamed loudly and ran out of the kitchen. He didn't chase her. Instead he remained put at his place. 

She kept turning back to see whether he was behind her. She didn't see what was in front of her and dashed into it. She looked up to see that monster was holding her. "Not again ! This is just a dream. This isn't true.", she cried as she tried to release herself from the monster's grip. Her strength wasn't enough. She was losing conscious. Slowly she fainted. 

Few hours had passed. She opened her eyes and saw she was lying on Kabir's lap. He was gently brushing her hair. She immediately got up and looked around. Everything was normal now. She started weeping. He wiped her tears and kissed her forehead gently. "It's ok. You are fine now. We will fight this. Everything will be normal.", he whispered into her ears. She smiled weakly.

The night had turned into stormy one. After dinner , she stayed up late while Kabir had already slept.  She looked at the time. It was already past midnight. Finally after few hesitant tries, she took the medication. The reaction of medication was quick. Her eyes felt heavy and she slept soundly . However the danger hadn't stopped. Suddenly she felt something tickle her feet. She nudged that thing. She opened her eyes wide when she felt something drag her. She cried out Kabir's name. He didn't hear. He was sleeping soundly.

Illusions - Part 18

What we see sometimes are not always true . They could be half truth or complete lie. Kabir had mastered the art of lie when he was toddler. He was manipulator and could influence people to believe his lie easily . He had convinced Shaina into believing how much he loved her and changed into new leaf due to her love. He was able to hide his greed with love .  When he was introduced to his prey by his uncle, he had his eye on enjoying the golden egg alone.

The Love Song - Part 3

 The road was quite empty except for few cars passing by. The radio played in the background while she continued driving. "Few more hours.", she whispered hoping she would reach on time. Suddenly the radio stopped playing. She sighed in anger. However she didn't try to fix it instead concentrated on the road. It was strangely getting cold. She switched off the AC and pressed the heater button on. She felt warmer now. But it didn't take long for warm to become hotter. Slowly droplets of perspiration formed on her forehead. She pressed the heater button off and rolled the window down. The car was acting strange. She decided to take the car to service station as soon as she came back from the trip. In midst of journey, the window rolled up unexpectedly. This sent shivers down her spine. She screeched her car to the side of the road and stopped the car. She pressed the lock button to open the door. As she tried to get out, she felt something pull her hand and push her to ...
