Dream-Life

“Yet another disappointing day for the police.The popular M.P who was to be taken for interrogation by the police, was getting discharged from hospital today. But after seeing police van outside the hospital he fell ill again and got himself admitted again. Which means that the police has to wait for few more days to interrogate him”, Roared the mobile radio.

Aman woke up by that roar. He was in the middle of the tragic dream.It was a dim lit room. He tried recollecting the dream.

All he could recollect was the Crying face of Naina and the slap he got from her father.He did not know what went wrong. He tried to think what might have gone wrong.

He thought again, this time he remembered a bit more.He was getting dumped by Naina and he was forcing her to give him a good reason for leaving him.

She was in all tears. That was the time when her dad came and slapped him. He saw her dad holding her tight and walked her back inside the house.He tried to calm himself down; after all it was just a dream. His mind wandered through the memories of him and naina meeting at the park every day.

He smiled or just felt like smiling. He wanted to relax down with those memories. Few minutes passed by.

He woke up again. This time the dream woke him up, a happy dream. It was the Dream in which he got graduated.

As his mind started processing more about the dream, he heard the door open and his mom came in with afternoon food.She planted the kiss on his forehead.

Though he hated the type of food she brought in, He dint say anything because he thought it was full of mother’s love.His mom asked him to sleep. He smiled at mom; a full smile which he knew would certainly make her happy.

He closed his eyes. He tried to know when was the last time he had really slept. He knew the answer himself; its been weeks.He had always closed his eyes pretending to be asleep. He knew two things very well. He was suffering from cancer and he was afraid to sleep.

He was afraid that the dreams may end some day. He wanted all his wishes to come to him as a dream. But he was afraid of dreaming. He never wanted to sleep.He closed his eyes, tighter and continued his journey towards planning his next dream.
