Vineet and Ruhana share some blissful moments before drifting into deep sleep. Ruhana falls asleep with her head on his chest. Vineet looks at her and falls asleep while smearing her head.

She is sleeping on the bed cozily. She feels a touch on her shoulder , a prick sensation on her shoulder. She whines in her sleep, but the prick sensation increases and trails down her waist and hands. She feels hot breathes on her neck. As she turns over, a pair of red scary eyes meets her eyes. She wakes up with a loud shout.

She sits up on the bed, breathing heavily and sweating profusely. Oh! That's just a dream. Vineet wakes up with a jerk. He's shocked to see her condition. He picks up the glass of water from the side table and makes her drink some water. As he keeps the glass back, Ruhana hugs him tightly. he begins to smear her head and back.

"What happened? Why are you crying?" He asks softly.

"I had a bad dream." She says, she's still shivering with the mere thought of the dream.

"Something pricked on my shoulder and hands. It was so scary." She says, her voice turns heavy.

Vineet kisses her head softly and wipes her tears. He knows she gets weird dreams but this particular dream is haunting her since many days.

"Don't worry! No one will come here. Trust me!" Vineet says softly.

"You ..You don't go anywhere. Stay with me." she holds his hand with both of hers.

She is crying by now. Her fear has nudged her badly. Vineet makes her lie on the bed and lies by her side. She shifts close to him and keeps her head on his shoulder and puts her arm across his waist. He also embraces her with his arms. He assures her that no one will harm her. She agrees, closes her eyes and soon, she falls asleep with the warm head strokes that Vineet gave her. He kisses her head softly and himself falls asleep.

Next morning, Vineet wakes up and finds that Ruhana is still asleep. The late night discomfort has vanished and a light smile is playing on her lips. He kisses her head softly,but Ruhana wakes up instantly, whining in pain.

"What did you just do ?" she looks at him.

"What? I was just kissing your head." He looks at her in confusion.

"No! You pricked something. You're making fun, right. You're pricking something? " She looks at him angrily.

"I didn't do anything. You're still so lost in your dream." Vineet says.

"Noo!I felt that! Stay away." Ruhana pushes him a little.

Ruhana feels the same pricking sensation that she felt in her dream. She gets scared when his lips touch her forehead. She wakes up at the instant and pushes Vineet. He is confused at her behavior. He holds her hands and asks her to relax. He asks her to take a shower so that she may feel better. Ruhana agrees to him and moves to take a shower. Vineet sighs deeply and moves into the kitchen to make coffee for him and Ruhana. Her nightmares are impacting her a lot, and he wants to stop all of it.

Ruhana enters the washroom and opens the shower.The cold water falls on her body and she feels relaxed. She rubs off her arms and shoulders ,as if washing off the pricks that she felt in her dream. She closes her eyes to feel the water on her face, when she feels those two red eyes gazing at her again. She opens her eyes with a jerk, but finds no one. She is alone under the shower. She turns off the shower and moves out of the washroom after getting dressed.

She finds Vineet setting the tray on the side table. She sits on the bed and sighs deeply. Vineet gazes at her. He knows she is worried and upset due to her dreams. Moreover, these dreams have been haunting her for a long time. Various dreams but one dream , multiple times. Ruhana looks at Vineet.

" Vineet, Please do something. I am tired of all these dreams. "She requests hopefully.

"It's just a dream, Ruhana. " Vineet says.

" No!! Not a dream. I have been dreaming about this for ten days. And before that, I saw that black figure. It's all so scary. Please do something. " Ruhana says, her eyes turn watery instantly.

Vineet embraces her in his arms. Ruhana keeps her head on his chest, trying to calm down. But, suddenly, she gets some weird feelings ,and she ends up pushing Vineet, leaving him confused.
