Ifza's POV:

*Dreams*

I was running so fast finding my way in the dark creepy forest.

I was shouting for help but there was no response it's the time I realized I was left all alone in such a huge, creepy and terrifying forest.

Suddenly I felt a strange presence behind me. I didn't dare to take a look around and started running with all the possible speed I could acquire at that instant but that strange thing doesn't seem to leave me, it was following me all around , in no time I was in the middle of the forest, breathing my lungs out.

At a far distance I saw a man standing behind the woods. He was like the blessing in disguise in this deadly journey. I couldn't see his face but his shiny little eyes were attractive, as if they were calling me, as if those eyes wanted me to get a hold on him they were so manipulative and hypnotizing.

I started walking towards them, those eyes gave me a hope...a hope of escaping this hell. Before I could reach those eyes I was abruptly dragged back into the woods.

*Dream ends*

- Ifza's Pov:

My day started with the same bad dream I was seeing since the last month. It started the night when I turned 23.

I was sitting idle in the class waiting for my bestie to arrive by this time she could win a medal for the constant late coming girl in the world. By the time she arrives I decided to tally my previous dreams with of today's.

Suddenly I was startled when I heard Ramsha screaming "IFZAAAAAA" I turned around to greet and scold her for her childish behavior.

"Assalamualikum (peace be upon you) , what's the need of shouting idiot" I muttered.

"don't tell me, you were stunned.... You scaredy cat.. " Ramsha said while giggling.

"Ohh please! I'm IFZA. Ifza as in a protective angel. And I'm not scared of anything" I proclaimed.

"I know I know and still everything scares you even the dreams ( she laughed) "

"my dear Ramsh, don't you know that sometimes some dreams do come true, for real. Dreams are the ways of communications or the hints. Some dreams do have some hidden messages specially if you are seeing the same dream like for billionth of time in just one month" I wailed furrowing my brows.

"Oh god! You saw it again?  What was it this time? A dark room with lots of doors and every door leading to darkness? Or a house with blood patched on the walls? Or a ground with certain circle? Or a graveyard like the previous one? " she reminded all the scenarios of my previous dreams.

"nope...this time it was a creepy forest but the things common in all of these dreams were I being chased by something and the man with the shiny eyes. "   I replied keeping my voice low so that no should hear our whispered secretive talks and assume that I'm mentally unstable.

"Ohh god! IFFZZ!!  Try to get a hint baby, your dreams wants you to marry someone with the shiny eyes simple... You just need to focus on finding the perfect match for yourself...you despo..." she said tormenting me.

"by the way, sculpture exhibition is today...6pm let's go together" she commanded me and we both got engaged in the preparation of Final semester.

I don't really wanted to attend it but as we are art students we don't have other choice.

After the college we hurried for the sculpture exhibition and it was beautiful way more than I expected and the wooden sculptures crafted wonderfully. I wish I could ever creat such master pieces.

It's 8pm Now and I decided to go home but Ramsh wants to stay back for a while and study more about those sculptures.

We parted our ways, she gave me a tight hug enlightening my mood.

"Don't worry everything will be alright, just find the man and the problem solved" she said giggling...i shrugged her trying to punch which made her chukle and we both laughed.

"It's raining heavily....mind if I drop you off pretty lady" a voice interrupted our laugh.

And it was Zain.

I don't really feel comfortable around him.. He's so annoying and kinda flirty so I avoid talking to him but my best friend Ramsh can handle him very well so I let Ramsh handle it.

She declined the offer in a very sarcastic manner.

"are you sure Ifzz he's not the shiny eyes guy...coz look at him he got looks....pretty cool. What do you think? "she teased when zain left us.

"then keep him to yourself...i don't want him to be the one" I left taunting her.

Zain wasn't lying about the rain.

It's raining heavily and there is not a single vehicle around. In this heavy rain I couldn't find a taxi so it's better if I take a bus at least I don't want to wander and luckily there's a bus stop at the end of the lane.

I hurried to  the bus stop suddenly I heard the sound of footsteps behind me.

The only thing my mind could think of was about the dream I being chased but I decided not to panic and reminded myself,

"I'm Ifza Zafar...Ifza as in protective angel...there's no need of being scared...u r strong enough to handle any situation".

I tried to remain calm but the foot steps doesn't following me and I was scared as hell to have a look. I started taking long and fast steps so I could reach the bus stop. Few steps later I reached bus stop and there was no sound of those footsteps I thought the person might left. Few moments later I felt a presence behind me reminded me of my dream.

I was standing alone drenching in the rain and not a single person around except the man standing behind me. His presence sends a chill down my spine.

I turned around to have a look on that stranger. I couldn't see his face as it was dark and raining heavily I could barely keep my eyelids open so I flashed the torch on his face and without giving a second thought I just wailed....

"Hello mister!! What are you looking at? Huh!! "

listening me shout he was puzzled as if he heard a monster screaming.

"I have been observing you past 15mins..you chasing me? " I yelled.

"Are you talking to me?"
His angelic voice with the puzzled shiny eyes demanded.

"How's this possible? " voice whispered.
