I was walking in the corridor,
twisting my scooter key in my hand. I saw him at a distance, he looked
surprised. He turned his back immediately. I didn’t bother. I went to get my
scooter which was right beside him. I
take my scooter and turn only to see him seeing me with a greeting smile. He
said “Hey! Long time no see.” I was surprised, for all along, he had all but
ignored me. I didn’t know what to say. He asked the usual how are you-hows
college. I answered not knowing what to talk. He offered me to
accompany me till the gate. I was just excited, something I have always wanted.
I didn’t bother to think why or how, I just right on said “Sure”.
I took out my two wheeler and pushed it. He walked beside me, talking. We talked and talked. Sense and nonsense but it didn't matter. The usually heavy vehicle seemed a lot lighter. The corridor didn't seem to have an end. I didn't bother to know where I was going. I just listened to him, spoke to him, told him everything I wanted to tell him for a very long time.
Suddenly there was a lot of commotion. There were people running everywhere. Someone came and told us that our sisters where stuck somewhere and that we had to go find them. We rush in the direction opposite to where people were running to. He held my hand in his and started running. It came out as a surprise but I didn't say anything. I followed him to a place which looked the lounge of a hotel. He went to the receptionist and asked something. She pointed her hand to a direction and I was about to run towards that place. But he pulled my hand, put his arms around me, and caressed me. My eyes were closed but I could see him better. When I opened my eyes, I could only see the blue bed sheet which didn't cover my feet. It had just been a dream all along. If only it was true...
