Part 2.
Raghu reached the town hall auditorium just 10 minutes before the show. Avay was waiting for him in the parking lot.
Avay: Thank God you are here. Just in time. Let's come inside.
Raghu: OMG, Let me park my car at first. Wait give me my ticket. You find our seat and I will be right behind you.
Avay:Ok. Bhagna mat!!
Raghu: OMG!! I am coming man!! You go.
Avay left. Raghu drived his car in the underground parking lot. He locked it and started walking to the Main hall. Suddenly he heard something. The sound was like breaking glass as if someone hit the glass window of his car with a hard thing i.e rod. He ran back to his car. But there was nothing there. It was absolutely an isolated place. AM I GOING MAD?? He took a look surrounding him and walked back to the opening of the parking lot.
He was feeling heavy headed and sensed that he had a headache. He ignored it and reached to the ticket checking counter. Suddenly it happened again.
Everything around him disappeared and there was an open place where again he saw himself standing with a girl. That girl was upset and was shouting something holding his collar and he was shocked like anything. The words were not clear but the blurred figure of that girl confirmed that it was the same girl from the previous hallucination, then the girl ran away.
Sir!!! Are u all right?? Sir, We need to check your ticket. Do u have any??
Raghu: What?? Mmm...ooo...Ya. I have.
He gave the man his ticket. He checked it and directed him toward the main auditorium.
What is happening to me?? Who was that girl?? And why was I dressed like this in my dream?? Is it even a dream or just my hallucination?? It's so wrong.
IT WAS NEVER THIS STRONG BEFORE TODAY!!!
Toward his walk to the hall, he remembered all of his previous encounters of such situation. Yes, he always gets this kind of dreams. But they were used to be in his sleep. They were very unclear. But today, what happened that he is continuously having these creepy visions?? That also when he is awake.And the visions are becoming clearer. That girl...
Avay: Hey, what are you doing man?? Why are walking like this as if you are in the competition of slow walking and the first prize is to escape this show??
Raghu: I was just...leave it. Let's have some fun.(he smiled)
Avay: ok, wait!! Is it a forced smile?? What happened dude?? Are you okay?? You are looking like a disaster. Sorry, man I didn't realize that you are genuinely this much tired. If you want to skip the show then just do it. I won't force you man!!
Raghu: I am here!!! Don't worry. Just some headache. It will go away.
Avay: ok. Let's go.
They entered in to that gigantic hall. It was beautifully decorated.
Raghu: Wow!!! They have invested a lot of money I guess.
Avay: Yup. And you know, people are saying that the dance team is too good. They have a girl who is sooo hot that...
Raghu: OMG!!! Kamse kam aj ke din to chor de!!! Why are u always so flirty??
Avay: Because you are always sooo serious. Iss liye tera hisse ka flirtiness came in to me too. Balancing!!!
Raghu: Man, just find our seats. Otherwise, you will start your usual chanting about girls again.
Avay: Hey, are you gay??
Raghu: WHAT?? Are you mad??
Avay: No, just asking. See, I know you from our childhood and I never ever have seen you interested in any girl. Not in high school, college,university and even not in work place. So many girls are mad for you but you are always like a sannyasi. After all you are Raghuveer Singhania. You have all the scopes to do limitless fun.
Raghu: (smiled) Just change the topic.
Avay: Wait, is it a forced smile again?? What are you up to man?? Ok, there must be two reasons,(they found their seats and sat there) One-You are gay and two-you are already in love with someone. So you are sort of saving yourself for that person. You already rejected option number one, so I guess it's number two.
Raghu: Avay, the show is gonna begin.
Avay: I won't stop. I want my answer. Tell me!!
Raghu just gave him a lame smile and that made Avay stop because he knew that this smile meant-I won't answer your question now.
Raghu pretended to sit straight and wait for the beginning of the show. But in side of his mind, there were do many things going on!!!
Raghu's self thought: Why does he always catch my discomfort?? How can I say you Avay that even I am also looking for these answers. Why do I always feel so lonely?? Why do I always feel like something is missing?? Why do I always feel dissatisfied even if I have every thing?? Why do I always wait for something and I don't even know what is it?? Why do the sound of gun shot scare me even if it is coming from TV?? Why do I see the same dreams again and again?? Now-a-days , I am even scared of sleeping. Unless I am tired like hell, I don't sleep because that images make me shattered. After waking up, I feel like lack of air but I can't share all these with you Avay and not with anyone else. I don't want anyone to worry about me. I am supposed to be fine and I will be. I have so many responsibilities as the elder son of Singhania family. But these creepy things is making me crazy. And I don't even know how to stop this. Why do I always feel so unhappy? Why do I never ever feel to look at any girl no matter how beautiful she is?? And today, I got hallucinations in the most frequent rate. Those images were so real that I thought I could touch that girl as she passed me. Is something coming??
Suddenly The light went off.
Avay: The show is gonna begin.
Precap:
The gateman-Hey, mister!! Where are you going??
Raghu: I want to talk to that lady. It's urgent. U understand??
