Avu: So are you sharing all this with someone for the very first time?

She finally asked recovering from the shock she just got now. He again gave out a sad chuckle remembering something again which frowned her once more.

Sid: As I told you no one paid attention that time when I told about the bus accident. Then mom also didn't believe me. Then I tried sharing with my friends when I started getting these dreams frequently, they started calling me a liar as no one trusted on my words. Some even made fun of me for making up stories

Avu: Then why not share the dream the very next day you saw? It will be before the actual occuring and when it will actually happen people will believe you automatically. Right?

Sid nodded.

Sid: Ya I even thought that but I was scared what if the particular dream I shared didn't actually come true then what would happen? Again I would be framed as liar. I would again be laughed at by everyone. Right? But I still decided to take a chance and shared with two three close friends of mine as I trusted them. But when actually the same incidents occurred, they all were either scared of me as we were not that grown up. They all left me alone thinking me as some weird or unsual person

Avu: And you didn't even share with your mom?

Sid shooked his head.

Sid: No. As earlier also she never trusted anything about my dreams whatever I told her. Secondly after seeing my friends leaving me, I could not gather the enough to tell her. I could not afford her leaving me at any cost. So I decided to keep it to myself only. I thought it is better to keep suffocating from inside rather than loosing my mom. I could bare any pain but not loosing her

He said as tears rolled down his eyes. Avu felt really bad for him.

Sid: But a day came when I saw her lying in the hospital in my nightmare. That day I could not bare anything. That dream just shooked me from inside. I was even ready if she hates me, stops talking to me, even does not come in front of me. I was fine with all that if she was happy, alive, safe and sound, healthy. Nothing else mattered to me. I knew never till date I was able to change the course of my dream. If I had seen that this is gonna happen it will happen. And that hurted me the most. In spite of being aware of everything, in spite of knowing this bad thing is gonna happen, I could never do anything about it. But still that day I could not just sit quietly and wait for my mom's death inspite of knowing it already. I tried telling her about my dreams, to stop that tragedy. But nothing worked. That nightmare took place and I lost my mom.....forever

He said more like whispered the last word staring at the floor. Avu was silently staring at him trying to imagine everything. It was all too much for her.
