Web Of Illusions

It was almost 9.00 PM and I still didn't want to get my eyes off the laptop. I was furiously searching for any article, any theory or record of any experiment that would tell me about whatever happend in that house. I tried asking Shree but he could only give me the name of the scientist. Getting the phone number and email of any scientist is easy if one knows their name but the web doesn't have anything to tell me about Dr. Razdaan. Probably only Shree can help me out. Even though i dont want a repeat of whatever I experienced in the web, I still want to know more about it.

"Will you stop doing that?" I heard the rugged voice from across the conference room. I moved my eyes from the laptop and saw Arjun Sir walking towards me. Why is he still here? It was kind of awkward after what happened there. I didn't want any long conversation with him right now.

"What? What am I doing?" How does he know what I am doing?

"You think I don't know?" He came close taking each step forward as my hand swirled over the touch pad to close some thirty tabs open on the screen. He shouldn't know. Once I saw the screen went blank, I sighed.

"What. . . What are you talking about?" He's trying to intimidate me but I wont fall prey his intimidation. Enough of his attitude.

"I know everything that's running in that curious brain of yours. . ." He said as he traced the top of laptop with his index finger and in a swift movement turned the laptop towards him. I chuckled at that, cause I've already closed the tabs.

A quirky smile appeared on his face as he muttered, "I so knew it."

What the hell?

"Dr. Razdaan, seriously?" He asked. I am sure I closed those tabs. But now I have to tell him.

"I dont know about you, but I am not keeping calm about this, until I know exactly what happened there and why?" I told him. I could see a frown appearing on his upon hearing my word.

Even though I was sure he wont find anything on the screen, his smile told me otherwise. He turned the laptop to with the same speed as I was welcomed to all the thirty tabs right on the screen those I have closed before.

How’s that possible? Is it again? No this ain’t any glitch. I must have just minimized it instead of closing. Now I am not sure what I did. Enough of this. I cant do this anymore. I should just leave.

I decided to leave as I shut the laptop and got up. He was a bit surprised with my sudden action but he remained silent. I was about to leave. . . But then I felt the warm touch of skin on my wrist. I turned to see and there he was holding my wrist. I cant even handle looking at his eyes. Now he’s holding me. Not that I mind. But but. . . Am I sounding stable?

He turned to me finally as he spoke, “ why do you think I am here till now Riya?” He asked in a husky voice. And this time I dared to look into his eyes. There was mischief in his eyes. It rattled me.

“To taunt me probably.” I muttered. From where the hell that came up?

“What?” he chuckled with a startling laugh. ACP Arjun never laugh or probably I have never seen him laugh.

“You just did.” I said once again. What’s wrong with me? Am I speaking to him or it’s all in my mind. This cant be possible. We’re not locked again. Rathod sir will probably kill both of is if we try to do anything with ETF furniture.

“I wont break the door. Don’t worry.” He said smoothly.

“I don’t even want to go and try.”

“When did you notice?” I asked him cautiously.

“An hour ago.”

“and you are telling me now?”

“Didn’t want to freak you out.” I realised he was still holding onto me. He noticed that too. However he didn’t shy away with awkwardness like he always moves away from me. What’s with him today?

“What do you want sir?” he was silent. He pulled me close to him looking me directly in the eye. “don’t. You wont like what you’d see.” I whispered as our face was inches apart. After that he moved apart and went towards the long glass windows of the ETF conference room. He leaned against it sideways as I stood beside him.

“I . . . I don’t know. I don’t know how to feel after whatever happened there.” He finally broke his silence as he looked outside. The night was fresh and we still had a long way for getting any help we want.

“Me too . . .”

“What did you see?” he asked in a deep voice. The undertone behind his words clearly told me he’s having trouble. He’s having real trouble after whatever happened there.

“once again I’d say Sir. You won’t like it. Whatever it was. It stays with me.” I said. I don’t know if we had the exact same experience. And even if we did, I don’t want a declaration of that. He’d never accept his feelings. Two years of working with him and he can be comfortable with me in terms of being a colleague. A fear stricken, irresponsible and unnecessary part of the team. That’s what I am for him.

“Relax.” He said as he clasped my hand again. I should be shivering by now, but I was in a secured trance when I melted into his touch. I closed my eyes once again as he straightened and turned me to face him.

“I was chained to my demons. . .

You asked me to embrace them.

I did. I did as you asked me to do.”

So we truly were in each others heads.

“What else did you see?”

“I am sorry Riya.”

My eyes snapped open as I looked at him. Is he saying sorry? And for what reason?

“I didn’t know it still bothers you a lot.” I didn’t need to guess what he’s talking about. His hand that was holding mine reached up as he cupped my face. I felt shivers running all over my body. It was as if my body knew how to react to his touch.

“You’re not afraid Riya, you just value human life.” He said as my hand tightened around him. I was almost crying. “We all have our demons . . . I was so occupied with mine that I couldn’t see others.” He’s confessing something I have never expected him to do.

“Why things are so complicated with us?”

“What’s your statistics say about complications in life Riya?” and there he goes, taunting me again.

“its not taunting, I am just asking Riya. My life is so messed up that I don’t know how to see things normally.” Is he really reading into my mind? I am not sure. I don’t understand what’s real and illusion.

“We all are messed up in some way or other.” I said.

“True.” He said.

“What do you think about Dr. Razdaan?” I asked him. I have started imagining the worst. Are we being tracked? Are we involved with some experiments unknowingly?

“I am not sure how true is this all about him Riya, but I do believe what happened that house wasn’t just our illusions.” So he believes that its true. And I realised he was still cupping my face. He didn’t inch away from me.

“Is our subconscious making us do this?” I asked. I don’t anymore understand our proximity. Is it for real? Or is it being provoked by the desires of our subconscious.

“I don’t know. But after that event, at scientist’s house, I don’t anymore find it difficult to think about the past.

This has brought some soft of transparency.” He said honestly.

“What else did change for you?”

“This. . . Talking to you. Talking to you without taunting or hurting you.” I almost felt my eyes moisten. Is this why Dr. Razdaan designed this experiment? To bring people out of their demons, make them face their fears and break their boundaries? To bring their desires to a level of transparency? And if that’s true, he had done a great job at it. He saw my eyes moisten. He nodded his head in no.

“Don’t let your thoughts become heavy on you Riya. If you want peace, let it loose.” He said and I broke down finally.

“I don’t want peace Arjun sir. I want you. And you wouldn’t want me. I can’t come to face the reality of my feelings. I can’t be broken in my subconscious. It will shatter everything I knew about myself.”

“Who said I don’t want you? He said in a deep voice that felt so soothing that I started believing into an illusion where he wouldn’t hurt me anymore.

“You do?” And before I could ask anymore, he closed the distance between our face and pressed his lips on mine. It took me some time to think that I am not imagining this. His lips were a little rough as he started moving them against mine. I was already melting under his touch. His one hand encircled around my waist as he pulled me closer to him, leaving no space in between us. And the other one was against my hair, tight under his clutch as he groaned when I let out a moan.

He broke apart for sometime to look into my eyes. The touch of his lips were still afresh on mine and at that moment I wanted nothing but for this moment last for a lifetime.

“When the doors open and when we’d be finally out of this loop, will you still want me Sir?” I asked him. My insecurities wouldn’t let me think of any other way. What is he’s doing it under some influence. Even if he wants me in his subconscious, he have to accept it for real. I don’t want to believe into this when I don’t even know the difference between an illusion and the reality anymore.

“I would Riya. I still do.” He said. He must have seen the confusion in my eyes. He leaned forward and turned me so that my back faced the window and there went again, claiming my lips. And this time without any doubts I responded equally. It was utterly difficult to keep my knees stable with him being so close to me and him literally kissing me. Probably he understood my plight as his hand travelled down my thighs to being my knee up, he held it close, pressing it closer to his thighs. The heat emanating from his body clearly defined his urgency to dominate me as he kissed me senseless.

When both of us were short for breath, he broke apart to lean his forehead against mine.

“do you believe this is a glitch?” I breathed against his lips.

“It doesn’t matter anymore.” He said breathing heavily. We both slumped down as he kept his head over my shoulder and leaned on to me relaxing. I run slow circles on his back. Soon he slipped into a slumber that I didn’t have the heart to disturb him. I ruffled his hair and closed my eyes.

I didn’t know what time it was, but when I woke up, I felt myself lying on something leathery. I realised it’s the couch of the conference room. Then the reality of last night hit me hard. Its already morning. The unknown fear grappled my mind as I desperately looked around.

“I am here Riya.” The voice instantly soothed me. He was sitting in the couch beside, as she stroked my hair soothingly.

“I thought I was . . .”

“dreaming?”

“Yes.”

“So you dream about me?” he asked and I was caught off guard. He doesn’t have to know what I dream about him.

“that’s not something you should be interested in.” I said, got up to face him.

“Then I’d have to find Dr. Razdaan real soon”, he said with a glint of mischief in his eyes.

“He won’t like that either.” What the hell even I am saying. I bit my tongue in frustration as he laughed out loud in front of me.

Before I could say anything in reply. The door of ETF conference room opened. I saw the watchman swipe the doors unlock at the locking system. So we were not stuck in some time loop. There was no glitch. But our phones even didn’t work. Shree must installed some jammers? But how would I be sure?

The watchman came inside to informed us that, he didn’t know both of us were still inside. He apologized and left immediately. Once the watchman made his exit, Arjun Sir started towards the door. I still waited for him, sitting on the couch. At door, he turned to me and said, “come, I will drop you.” I instantly hopped up and followed him.

“so we were talking about something Riya.”

“nothing.”

“The call records have to be checked again”. Call records? We were talking about dreaming?

Was it?

No?

It can’t be.

It felt too real to be brushed away on the name of a dream. Why is he asking about call records?

And suddenly I didn’t anymore have the courage to stop and ask him about this. I stopped in the middle of the track. My head started spinning. I felt dizzy.

I could see him at a distance as he moved ahead. But then he turned and runs towards me. I felt my head spiralling as my vision blurred.

“when was the last time you ate?” he asked. With the blurriness of my eyes, I couldn’t see his face clearly.

“I don’t remember.” I said, my throat felt dry.

“Don’t worry Riya, probably you are having a lower BP.” I heard him saying this. I felt my eyes heavy and soon I saw darkness clouding my vision.

“Trust me Riya, try to keep your eyes open. Don’t give up.

Don’t give up.” Those were last words before I succumbed to unconscious.
